The Raven trilled as it flew down and perched on the Goddess' thin shoulder. Skylers eyes were wide as she stood on the battlefield. She had seen things in the bits and pieces she did remember of her human life. But this....was nothing. She could smell the blood for miles. Felt the damp warmth of it beneath her bare feet. 'This....is what you are now. Your duty....to bless the souls so they can move on,' the Raven advised her. She frowned a bit as she looked at the battlefield. The large expanse of blood, singed ground from grenades and fire. The burn of sulphur and chemicals. She swallowed hard. "I.....am the Angel Of Death?" She asked as she looked to the bird. It clawed and tilted it's dark slick head. "GODDESS of death, but they are much alike,......Let instinct guide you to them,' the bird wisely answered before he flew away.

Skyler swallowed past the lump in her throat before she closed her eyes. Steeling herself and opening her senses. It was so silent here. So quiet and still. She slowly began to walk forward as she opened her eyes. She could see the faint glows from the aura of the souls left behind. Like a dull and fading rainbow of color. Her black dress brushed the soiled ground as she walked, her pale blond hair falling down her shoulders. She looked delicate. Fragile. Lost in the sea of death around her. As she walked, she felt her heart breaking. She would cry if she had enough access to her emotions to weep. But luckily, they swelled in her eyes but did not fall. These were brothers. Fathers. Sons. Children. All dead. And for what? Greed? Hubris? Supremacy? 

She paused when she felt it. The small tug of something at her chest. As if it pulled at her gown for her attention. She turned towards it and followed. She paused when she came upon her. A young woman. No older than twenty. She would have been beautiful. Skyler knelt down by the woman and brushed the dirty blond hair from her face. Even with the swelling of her belly, she carried the markings of a soldier. Skyler could tell she had fought. Bravely to protect her home, despite the beasts that had torn her from her home and into the street. Skyler would never understand mortal cruelty. At her touch, Skyler felt the woman stir. 'My baby...please.....' Skyler heard the womans final words like an echoing chorus in her head. Skylers eyes drifted down to the swollen belly. She knew the life was lost. Like the mothers. But....she could feel the soul. "Find peace, sister....mother...." Skyler said as she bent down and brushed her lips over the woman's brow.

The touch was brief as Skyler began to glow with radiance. Drawing the soul from the body as she spoke the prayer over them. Skyler stood up then, smiling slightly as she held a hand down. The mother rose first, one hand taking Skylers as the other cradled the small blanketed bundle. The bundle let out a soft cry as the mother looked to Skyler with bewildered eyes. "Are you....an angel? Or a demon?" The woman asked as she took in Skylers beauty. Skyler smiled. "Neither....I am the Final Fate. I am Deaths kiss. And with my kiss.....I send you to the Afterlife with my Blessing." Skyler said as she brushed a hand over the small infant with a sad smile as the portal opened wide. The mother looked to the portal and then back to Skyler. Skyler held out her hand. "Be at peace." She said softly, as the mother walked to the portal and it closed as she past through. The Raven cried again as he settled back on Skylers shoulder. 'Well done....' It said as it nuzzled her ear and Skyler nodded slightly.
