Something stirs at the base of your shoulder blades, and you feel a growing warmth before a bright flash of light blinds you momentarily. Stretching them over your head, you elatedly inspect your brand new appendages.
Your wings are a beautiful cacophony of browns, oranges, and grays that remind you of a childhood playing in an autumnal pile of dry, crisp leaves. So this is the afterlife. It's quiet, quaint. Peaceful in the thick mist, far away from the troubles of the world. Your mindstream is at ease, thoughts trickling down like a lazy riverbed. If this is the end, then there is no need for fear. Your heart feels lighter knowing you’ll ensure your loved ones safe passage.
Cheers, Reaper, your wings are that of a 𝚆𝚑𝚒𝚙-𝚙𝚘𝚘𝚛-𝚠𝚒𝚕𝚕.

The concept of "fate" is a contested belief among those who reside in the After, notably for grymm who are part of the inner workings of the D.O.A.A. and are given reaping assignments on orders of 𝚃𝚑𝚎 𝙼𝚊𝚐𝚒𝚜𝚝𝚛𝚊𝚝𝚎. Are Their Eminence's assignments random, or was it always foretold? For 𝚆𝚑𝚒𝚙-𝚙𝚘𝚘𝚛-𝚠𝚒𝚕𝚕, they believe it must've been destiny for them to wholly recall their Before, especially after they are assigned to reap a loved one. After easing them into death and promising to show them around the After, 𝚆𝚑𝚒𝚙-𝚙𝚘𝚘𝚛-𝚠𝚒𝚕𝚕 went through their door. However, at D.O.A.A.'s waiting room, the soul was nowhere to be found.

With a sinking feeling of dread they come to the conclusion that their loved one must've gotten lost in the mist. Although traveling through the Hinterlands is ill-advised, 𝚆𝚑𝚒𝚙-𝚙𝚘𝚘𝚛-𝚠𝚒𝚕𝚕 has been searching, determined to reunite with their loved one.
