My Kingdom, Your Heaven
No soul should be lost... Some ancient tales are written, or whispered, from the lips of generations, young and old. Legends, frozen in time, of brave heroes and soulless villains. Stories that conjure the imagination of valiant knights, riding on steeds, wearing white armor, and swinging a hallowed sword, saving the innocent, and giving back balance to the weak. But what if the soulless villain, Death himself, inherited a soul? Would you trust him? A hero doesn't always have to wear white, rather, he can come in differing shades of black. Not all are born, yet made from the choices they make, and the sacrifices they give. My Kingdom, Your Heaven. The day the Angel of Death received a soul, and why he gave it back to save others.
