Part III: Pure Soul

In the time of non-acceptance of death, there's a window to recruit a reaper before they turn into a spirit orb that must be ferried to Heaven or hell; in times like this there's the possibility to talk to the individual before acceptance takes effect and they become that orb of light that goes to heaven or hell however the order may come down.

I use these periods as recruitment tools. A lot of souls need reaping and ferrying so it's in these moments that I have to put on my HR hat and hire new reapers.  I may be the grim but there's a lot of work to do and I have to keep the gears in the machine oiled.  That's mid level management for you in a nutshell.  My job is more enjoyable though because being a reaper, one gets to be human and angel simultaneously until the job calls and I must go back and forth.

I remember in 5,000 BCE meeting a human soul with the tenacity to be what I was who also had the love and strength to become more Devin or Deviel was to become a reaper with powers beyond my own. Some might have considered her powers unholy because they did not stem from god but rather from the power of his creation and from a supreme connection with nature. Had I reaped her, she would have gone to the deepest depths of hell along with witches, however, the beauty of her spirit was loved by god and by me and for it, she became the second reaper and the first reaper to fight for the human spirit.

One might say she was the basis for the story of promethius but she fought for a second chance to reach gods light instead of the physical and superficial gift of fire.

Contrary to popular belief, Angels are all male or at least as masculine an entity as feeble human minds can percirve. I only ascended to an angelic class because I was the first of my kind and the Grim. Souls are sexless. They give up that distinction when they become those orbs of spiritual light.

I get to hier my own team, however, and they are neither angel or demon but rather (to put it simply) ambassadors to heaven or hell on the earthly plane. These days, I only work on high profile cases.

The reason I make this distinction is because Deviel and I shared sex and love outside of my angelic duties and her duties as a reaper for milenia. In that time, I sired many children with different wives over the milenia and I know it hurt her to see me loving someone else but I came back to her when all was said and done and the wives and kids, simply died.

Love is part emotion, part practicality and part adoration and although I would tell my wives I loved them in the moment that was 100 years, over milenia, there was only Deviel. That sultry seductress who could show gods light through the light of his creation at her fingertips.

As the light fades and I wait weeks, to months, to years for a client, my reapers work busily and she shines in the eyes of both god and the devil as they fight for her retirement.
