The Journal

Death sat upon a black chair within the loft of the Castle of the Secrets, an ancient tome in hand. He flipped to the next page, and continued reading; barely paying attention to the uiet snickering in the background. Death stood up, and moved his chair a little over to the right, closer to the window that displayed a wonderful cosmic view of lights. Seconds after, water spilled onto the ground from a bucket, as normal Earth-like gravity took its toll on the castle itself.

"How did you know I was here?" Chaos questioned, the trepidation of what Death might do to him evident in his voice.

"Well, you see... There was little man, and he came up to me when you were setting up the bucket earlier, and he said you'd get me wet." Death monotoned.

"A little man?! Where?!"

"He hides when you get too close to me." Death added.

"Where does he go?" Chaos questioned, wide-eyed with curiosity.

"To his colony on Mars, you imbecile!!" Death rasped.

"Can I go to Mers?"

"What the Hell is 'Mers'?" Death rolled his eyes, irritated with Chaos' little quiz.

"Mers."

Death stared at Chaos for a few moments, he was silent, but his stare was deathly, "You mean Mars?"

"Yeah. Mars, the blue planet next to that dog that's on the cartoons!" Chaos happily clapped like a child excited by a toy or candy.

"Pluto. It's a planet... Not a dog." Death simply stated.

"But the kid I met on Ee-rth nineteen days, two hours, and five seconds ago told me Pluto was a dog on those boxes with the moving two dimensional characters on screen." Chaos stated.

"Where did you gain some of that vocabulary? And it's called Earth!" Death raised his cloaked arms in frustration, annoyed by Order's counterpart. "No. This is besides the point, why were you here trying to pour water over me whilst I was reading?"

"Because it was fun!" Chaos giggled.

"You know what's fun?" Death put his arm around Chaos' shoulders.

"What?" Chaos desired to learn.

Death whispered, his secret to 'fun' told to the strange Chaos.

"You mean it? so if I ask-"

"Yes, she will. You just need to ask." By the end of his sentence, Chaos had already ran out of the room.

Death chuckled mildly to himself, as he sat down on his chair, to read his book once more.
