Darkness filled the void in front of Kage's eyes as he watched his memories appear as static visions. Faces began to blur and names began to follow right behind. There was a sudden tightness in his chest but he knew he had to let go.
It was a sacrifice.
He closed his eyes and took in a deep breath as he could feel a void begin to grow in his thoughts. He yearned for life. He was giving up being a reaper of souls to walk amongst his peers and feel the emotions they experience.
Life.
Inside the darkness there was a flash of light that seared his retinas and the pain registered in his temples. His bright ruby eyes shot open and the color began to fade to a pale ice blue and he could still hear the whispers of the people who were forgotten. He could see their colors but they began to swirl together to become a muddled shade of brown. Despite his best efforts to leave his past behind he could never forget the people he made this sacrifice for.
He sat up really quickly to figure out where he was, but before he could register his surroundings darkness filled his vision again and his body collapsed back down against the cool grass.
