The Eternal Harvester
When the last candle flickers and the final breath trembles upon mortal lips, a shadow stirs in the unseen corners of the world — the Grim Reaper, the eternal harvester of souls. No temple dares name him, no scripture records his origin, yet every grave knows his passing touch.
Long before time learned to measure itself, there was balance — creation and decay, life and its inevitable twin. But when mortals began to toy with forbidden rites, binding spirits and defying the grave, the void itself screamed for order. From that scream he emerged, robed in midnight’s sorrow, carrying the scythe that divides the seen from the unseen.
It is said that the Reaper does not kill — he corrects. Death is not cruelty to him, but a covenant, an ancient law broken only by the arrogant. He drifts where light falters — graveyards, plague fields, moonless shores — unseen yet always near. Those who hear the chime of unseen bells know he has arrived, for his presence warps silence into something alive, breathing, watching.
There are stories of witches who tried to summon him, offering their souls for immortality. He came not to bargain, but to claim — for none may call Death and live unbroken. The ground split, candles bled wax like tears, and their whispers still echo through the hollows of the night.
When the wind turns cold and time itself feels weary, remember: the Reaper does not hunt. He waits.
And when he lifts his scythe, even the stars hold their breath.
