Welcome to Gaia! ::

The man was stood before an alter and turned to Jet when he heard her wake.
"I always found it ironic how now only during your last hour people were willing to cry out for a saviour despite having denounced God for the past how many years while committing lecherous acts and other disgusting sins."
"W-what?...I haven't done anything! Let me go!!" She continued struggling against her confines, tears beginning to form in her eyes.
"I also found it strange how people were suddenly innocent when they were about to die. This is the will of God, so do not intervene," he said before approaching with an item in his hands behind his back.
"Would your God really ask you to sin against him? Murder is wrong isn't it?! How are you any different from all the people you killed?!" Jet tried to sound confident about her argument but her voice was quavering terribly. The tears that had been welling up in her eyes slipped away down her cheeks as she flinched when the priest was no less than five metres away.
"This is God's will, and 'thy will be done'! He told me himself in a dream this was what he wanted me to do! It's like Noah's arc! He listened to God and was redeemed while the rest of mankind suffered! I am too just doing as I was told by the Lord!"
He knelt beside the girl and took a small bowl of water from behind his back, dipped his water into the liquid then proceeded to mark a cross on her forehead. "But you're the last. Forty days. Forty sinners. That was his request. 'Winston, this world is too full of sin. Winston, I want you to rid all of those who misuse the beauties of the world which I have bestowed upon mankind. Winston, return to me those who have sinned and let them be redeemed by allowing me to accept them into my holy bosom.'"
No. I can't, die here! "But, I'm not a sinner! What was said in the woods, it was all lies!!" She pulled away from him and snapped her eyelids tight shut. "I'm not a sinner!!!"
Winston shook his head. "When you are reborn, then shall you be free of the life you have led here and be able to start anew. But until then, you are still branded with your rightly-deserved title." He held her still as he finished marking a cross onto her forehead then moved to the alter. "You are my fortieth and therefore have to have a special ritual carried out."
((Ur...Grell? What happened to him??))

"...What?" Her deep, yellow eyes shot open and instantly started filling up again. She called out again, just hoping that someone was around to hear her, though it was highly unlikely that anyone would be around at that time of night. For such a small person, she could really project her voice. "Help!!!"
((I dunno...He's given up and is now hunting for a scythe.))

Winston ignored her cries and approached her with a large sharp knife in one hand and a bible the other. "It won't be long now..."
It was then that an idea struck her. It was against the most basic and important rule of being a Shinigami, but at that time she really didn't care. "Are...are you really willing to accept the consequences for killing a God?!" She roared in a shaky voice.
Winston stopped and frowned with confusion. "What are you talking about? I'm doing this for the Lord, not to him."
"No, I mean...who says there is only one God?" Jet doubted whether he'd believe her claims but any time she could stall for was worth it.
Winston's frown changed in its purpose from displaying confusion to anger. "Of course there is only one God! It's written in the bible! It's one of the ten commandments! Exodus 20:3: Do not have any Gods before me."
"But...Doesn't that infer that there is more than one? Maybe a different kind..." For the while, Jet managed to fight back her tears, though she was having real difficulty doing so.
"Even if there was, I wouldn't see them as a god. I would be protected from my God from any penalties. Why? Are you implying that you're a god?"
