I wish to tell you a tail most interesting tail about a girl in her point of view of the things around her and her fight to become Deaths apprentice. Her name was Jax or if you were family it was Jaxster. she had long scarlet hair and eyes were the same shade. She has a twin brother named Delicross he has the same dark red hair and eyes but both of them have the dark skin of the Drow. and yet their mother was not of the drow and no one knows who their father was....

My name is Jaxster and this is my story.
It was a normal morning like any other in my dark home the eternal dark i lived in was known as the Underdark, many races lived in this eternal dark like the Drow and the DeepGnomes but my house was special it was where Death him self presided for now. He was doing his normal 1000yr search for an aprentice he could take as many as he wished and he was viewing me and Delicross this week so i wore nothing but my finest clothes at our mothers advice from when she was alive but she had dyed 12yrs ago from a drow sword. This morning Death awoke us by a wrap on the door and his cold voice cut threw the wooden door like a sword. "get up you two." he called and Delicross sat up his bright red hair hung in his face and stuck up in certain spots while my silver hair hung limply around my shoulders and down my back and in my face. Delicross rolled out of bed and opened the door to see a the black cape and cowl Death wore at all times and Delicross yawned and looked up at his face or where it would be if you could see threw the swirling darkness of the cowl "were up." griped Delicross he hated to be woken up before noon."good when your done getting dressed come down stairs." he said and walked off with out a sound back down the hall of the orpenage every one else was still asleep. "would yah take the balls that guy has to WAKE ME up!" hisses Delicross and i laughed "oh Death has balls now? Yesterday you said he was balless skelton." i said with a evil smirk "hush hush!!" he said and waved a hand at me as i laughed at the look on his face and the way he eyed the door as if Death would walk right in and kill him. "your such a baby,Delicross." i say as i make a barrier around me and i change ever since i was small i could make a barrier and no one saw in it was just a big dome of blackness he could make one too when he felt like it.
"i am not a BABY!" he protest loudly and the kid next to him slaps his leg "shut up Delicross!" he growls and turns over "bite me." answers Delicross and the boy rolls back over and gave him a toothy glare "fine." he said and took a bite out of Delicross' leg the shout of pain from Delicross echoed threw the room waking the Drow orphanes up and some of the Drow down the hall "SHUT UP!" they growl in a big group "But he bit me!" hisses Delicross. I pull my shirt on and then my pants and dissapate the dome "all of you go back to sleep but you Delicross." i say grabing his elfish ear we both had the dark skin of the Drow but we didnt have their white hair. "OW OW OWO WO OWOWOWOW!" he growls and i walk down the hall with his ear in my hand and he follwows me down since he didnt want his ear ripped off.
"Good your both up." said Death and Delicross mimics his deathly cold voice with a snooty voice
"good your booth up" he mimics to me and i cover my grin but a laugh comes out and Death turns around to look at us it looked as if he sighed but he said nothing despite my hand over a obvouisly huge grin. "Come with me." he said and we walk after him suddenly he turns his sythe on us and we jump back with growls of surprise and we draw our wepons i had scimitars and Delicross had a sythe on a chain. we first attacked sepreatly then we tag teamed him and he difelcted each blow then we stood infront of him with our backs to each other and we jumped at him cutting down the middel then to the sides and diagnaly we landed behind him this time our blades make a hissing sound from the elments we used and Death turns to look at us as our shirt sleaves slide off our arms with big gashes on them from not being in sinc with each other and he shook his head a lil and held up his Sythe that had dents and nicks in it from our attack showing he had defelcted every one. "your not in sinc with each other." he said and we looked at each other and made a face at him as we floped onto the floor our wepons still in hand then he took his sythe "now it's my turn." he said and we scrambeled to our feet jumping back and making a break for out side but his sythe cuts into your backs and leaves 4 long glowing marks and we slam into the door breaking it off it's hinges and we fall to out knees out side on the mossy ground we gritted our teeth and tryed to grab at the wounds on our backs but we couldnt reach them. His sythe made a clinking sound on the ground as he got closer and we jumped to our feet to face him wepons drawn and he swings him sythe one last time and it hits our shoulders and slices down cutting our chests at a diagnale line and we both fall to our knees wepons still cluthed in our hands and we glare up at him his sythe leans on his shoulder and the blade almost touches the ground as he looks at the shaft we had tryed to cut as he hit us with the blade "give up?" he asked and we looked at each other and jumped back in unison then went oposite ways and Delicross swung his chain sythe making it wrap around Death from the ankles up and i jumped at him slicing his body to be wraped in a darkness that flowed from the cut cloak and i jumped back but it followed me and i raced back at him then slashed at him again making more come out of him and then i jumped over him after making the darkness run into each other and it engulfed him and a cold laugh came out of the dark ball of massing shadows and Delicross yanks his chain off Death and it was dyed a dark black as were my scimitar blades the blackness seeped up and over Delicross' chain and up around the blade and handel so he wrinkeled his face and droped it but the wepon attachtched it self to him as if he carryed it for battle the thing floated in the air and he reached out to touch it and it moved with his touch and then he took it in his hands and the wepon went limp in his hands making it back to the weight it was before it started to float. Death had composed him self again and the tears in his cloak were evident since the blakness welled up out of it and around the tear. "oh i havent had a fight this good since that last appreantice," he laughed and walked up to me and Delicross i waited with blades at the ready as did Delicross and he exstended his hands to us and we looked at each other and then at him and the hood fell back to show a human face with bright red eyes and oceanblue hair we stared at him then as the adrenaline rushes slowed down and the pain of our wounds became evident we sank to the ground holding at them as our blood spilled from the now reopend wounds and he grabed something from his robes and wrote something then attached a bag of something and walked back into the house and came back out wiht a set of packs and our other stuff we eyed him wearily and he hands them to us "I hope you two become great warroirs if not my apprentices." he says and we look at each other and grin then his hands touch our foreheads and I feal a over powering urge to sleep and i fall back and blackness engulfs my awareness of every thing around me and i hear a few last words "rest while you have your souls children your future will be a hard one." says Death and every thing shuts down.
The two kids have been accepted as Deaths apprentices and relived from the orpanage into Deaths care. will Jaxster and Delicross live to see the bright future he talks about or will they crumbel to the weight of their training and die like so many other past apprentices?..To Be Contiuned.
