1886 A.D. - Current Time
Not long before had death seen over the evolutions man to now still in the primeval times. In the small town of Vice, France lived no more than 500 villagers. Much small and surrounded by forest for miles. To live there is to be born there. Death resides in such a town where he sees many of love and closeness. Not long there he begins to long for love, one which he has never experienced. He wants none other than a living soul to call his own in courtship. Captured by such things he begins to seek a love, one quite suitable.
He wants a love that can do all the things he wishes, to love him undoubtedly, to obey him when needed, to cook, to clean and never to bear him a child. There was no need for anymore immortals in the world. So this led him to one solution, he must love a man. Accepting this was no easy task though until that was he met young Mathew Thebes. An energized young man whom could to just about anything asked of him, he cooked for his parents, did work around the house, helped with city projects, he fought with the little militias in his town to protect it. He was happy most of the time and let nothing bring him down, he always seemed happy. He was searching for something similar death wanted, true love.
Mathew, in the depths of the wood hunting for his papas meal stumbled upon a clearing. In this clearing was a pond and beyond that pond was a black mare. His eyes seemed ablaze and the man atop, Lord Death, bounded after, in this time he was seized by him and explained of his desires. In such he promised to court him and give him one day to continue on with his normal life before he would sweep him away into his own realm. Mathew resented this in fear upon death the Holy Lord would shun him and he returned to the village in fear. He consulted his friend Maria Longsworth. Truth though she'd loved him since he was but a wee baby and still did to this day so she is devastated by the news.
In the rest of the day he takes care of his deeds unknowingly saying goodbye to his loved ones and fellow villagers for he had no power over Lord death. His friend John Valentine appalled by the news demands he stay and not go with Lord Death for he wished the same desires upon Mathew. Confused and lost Mathew consults his thoughts throughout the day he is given before he should return to the wood where Lord death would sweep him away. In this time he is given what shall he choose? Deceive death or runaway with his long time friend John?
