Story (500 words max.):
Moarte, meaning death, wasn't always known by that name. He was once named something great, something he felt was worthy of being legendary. Somehow he had forgotten that glorified name after re-naming himself. After the incident, of course, one of which he forbids to speak of. It's not a story where he's not the hero, nor the villain, but merely a bystander. He was a gravewatcher for his clan, he guarded the many bodies of the fallen before their burial. He was given the unoriginal nickname of 'The Reaper'.
Moarte witnessed the many betrayals and distraught between his brethren. As a mere guard, he was always told his job was to simply protect what he was told to protect, in which case was, well, dead bodies. So he had tried his best to never intervene in other's conflict. Moarte couldn't help it, he didn't want to see the body count rise. Even the ancient gods didn't expect a lowly gravewatcher to step out of line. One night, Moarte paced the gravesite as per usual before catching sight of another peasant walking past the gravesite silently. He disregarded this passerby until he noticed another shadowy figure following her. He trailed their footsteps quietly. He noted the shady dog tried to harm the passerby so he jumped in, getting the victimized dog out of harm's way. Moarte was horrifically wounded, dying within moments as the passerby had enough time to get away.
The fates took a liking to 'The Reaper', he had so long guarded the dead that even after his death, it was his sole purpose. To not only protect the dead but also the living, so he was given a second chance, an afterlife. He once more guarded the lost and would now be able to protect the living just as well. Moarte walked the grounds as a protective spirit, his eyes steaming with the bloodlust of the recently deceased and his hind paws trailing patches of protection around gravesites. It was meant to protect good souls from those of a more corrupted background. Moarte lived for eons in this form, and he held his position with pride.
