Second chances (Closed for Slender Rose)
Beating death in a little competition Donavan was granted one wish for defeating the King of the underworld himself. "You have done well Donavan. Not many men are able to defeat me, but as promised I will allow you to have anything you desire." Death said as he looked down at the former angel. Wasting no time to think about what he wanted, he already knew what he wanted. "You already know what I want Death, I want to be with my family again." He said as he stared Death down. Its been years since he last saw them, and there was just so much unsaid that when he died his soul was stuck in limbo.
Hearing his request Death laughed. "You can't be serious you can't return to the land of the living. Your dead, and I-" Getting cut off by him grabbing a hold of his cloak he pulled him down to his level. "Do I look like I'm joking?!" He yelled, he was determined to see his family again and nothing was going to stop him. "The deal was if I beat you I get anything I want, and I want to see them. Now you are either gonna put me back to Earth or I'm going to break every single bone in your body into a fine dust and throw it all over this god forsaken land." Completely serious about this threat Death stayed silent for a moment. "Very well I will send you back, but on one condition." Chuckling a little Donavan knew that the deal with death would have its complications but he didn't care. "Alright fine, whatever it is it can't be worse than what it's like here."
After making the deal with Death he woke up in his coffin. Lucky for him his family didn't burn him like he asked to be. Easily busting out of his grave he stood over it and shook the dirt off him. Looking down at his grave he did kinda leave it a mess. I wonder if Rose has another husband by now? He thought as he looked around. THe place was actually very nice, it seemed like someone was keeping the place clean and didn't let the plant life take over it. "I really hope she did, she deserves a guy way better than me anyway." He said outloud as he looked down at his wedding ring.Thinking about everything that happened when he was alive before he had so many regrets. Going out on those two missions really ruined his life. If he could he would go back in time and make the old him stay home instead of going out on that last mission, but it was too late. Everything was too late and all he could do now was just apologize and hope for forgiveness.
