A warm feeling surrounds me, I feel soft sensation on my hands,the air I'm inhaling feels fresh,light, it's feels like I'm in euphoria. My eyes flutter open from the light rays hitting my face, I open my eyes.
This feels surreal,pink mist is surrounding me, I look around and realize I'm sitting on soft pink cloud.
"Do you know where you are?"
Huh, I look around me, unsure if I heard someone talking or was it in my imagination.
"Do you know where you are?"
Again I look around,this time sure I heard someone and it wasn't my mind playing tricks on me.
"This is the land between the living and the dead,you are here because you have died".
"What?"
As I say this, I remember,yes I died,a while ago, I had slipped,from mountain side, I was admiring the view,it was raining and the railing that was supporting my weight broke and I fell into the abyss.
There was no one with me there to save me, my family that comprised of just my parents,had died when I was young, I had been adopted by an old couple but they later died due to old age, I was seventeen then,old enough to live by myself,with their money of course. I don't have many friends, colleagues sure,but not friends, I decided to spend some time in mountains to relax,but fate had other plans for me.
As I come back to the current reality,it occurs to me, why is a mysterious voice telling me I'm in middle of life and death? Could it be that I'll be given second chance at life,and is this entity talking to me God?
As I form these questions in my head, I ask the entity while looking around,"Are you God?"
He chuckled,"No silly creature , I'm the fallen angel,lucifer."
"Huh,what,why is the bloody lucifer talking to me? Why am I not in heaven or hell?", I asked flabbergasted.
I'm unsure of what his answer would be,is he here to decide whether I'll go to heaven or hell,or to reincarnate me,either ways, I won't like the answer,that I know of.
"You're here because I have an offer for you,a deal with the devil if you may."
A deal with the devil,is he bloody serious,does he want me to land in hell.
Before I could open my mouth to say anything,another entity starts speaking,"Your soul had been chosen for this before you were born,since the time of your ancestors,this deal has been in existence,the soul of the 30th descendant of the ancient clan will be of the devil's to choose."
"How is that my fault, I did not make that deal."
"Fear not,you are one of the few who have been exempted from entering hell because of the deal with the devil, you're ancestors chose this path,you are it's victim,if you go to hell,it will be because of your own actions instead of this deal."
I sigh in relief,glad to hear this,but,"Who are you?"
"I'm the angel of death my dear."
"Now that is out of the way, I'm now here to offer the deal",the voice of lucifer says.
"But my ancestors already made the deal,so what deal do I have to choose?", I ask confused.
"The deal,to choose the side, I have contracts from both the sides,you get to choose which will you help,or destroy ".
He looks at me expecting a response but I sit there, waiting for his next words.
"There are two kingdoms,The Great Kingdom of Despoina or The Fallen Kingdom of Sephtid."
I look at him, confused and intrigued by the kingdoms,by the choice I have to make.
"The decision is yours."
