“No! That's insane!” The reaper protested heavily. “What you are suggesting is madness. You're going to lead us straight into a second death! A permanent one this time.” She wouldn't have any of it, but she seemed to be the only one. The others merely stared at her, their minds had been made up long ago. This had to happen.

“No one is forcing you to stay, but I don't want to see any more of us get taken away.. never to return.” He paused. This was hard on everyone. “Sarah and Aidan faced the elites so we could get these plans! Don't let their sacrifice be in vain.”

That was the reply she got. The reply that made her think back on all those that didn't make it up to this point. She sat back down and remained quiet.

They'd gone back to discussing their plans when a smaller reaper stood up and spoke “Can't we reason with them? I know that Veryx is a reasonable man, he—”

He was instantly cut off.

“Reasonable? You're too soft, Malakai! Have you forgotten who had your lady killed? Have you?!”

Mal looked away, fighting back the tears welling up in his eyes. “That wasn't him. I.. I know it wasn't him. He listens to Grim, he'd never..” The taller reaper grabbed Malakai's shoulders and looked him dead in the eye.

“He gave the order, Malakai. He stood there and watched. He's not your friend any more. He's not a friend to any of us any more.” Mal sunk down and sighed heavily. His colleague was right and it hurt. It hurt badly.

Memories brought him back to that day. Arrests were being made, clean-outs as they called it, and the reapers that didn't do enough were taken away. No one ever came back from that. There was never any official announcement but everyone knew what fate befell those that didn't make the cut. He remembered that very moment where Jess had been pulled away from him, away from his embrace. The elites pushed him back as they took her. He tried to fight them, screamed and pleaded, but he was merely met with a hand placed on his shoulder, and a whispered “I am sorry, Malakai, it is for the good of the realm.” The next moment he found himself alone in the town square.

His train of thoughts broke when a reaper nudged him, and found everyone was staring at him.

“Mal? You okay? We need you in on this. You know him best.”

Mal merely nodded, too tired to speak. This had indeed gone on for far too long, and perhaps his old friend was beyond saving. It didn't make it any easier.

“Thank you.” The man said before he returned to the map. Palms resting on the paper, he looked at the small group of reapers, determination in his eyes. “We've run out of options, there is no other way to stop this corruption. They must be stopped. We need to kill them.”

For the good of the realm.
