👑Hollow Crown

16

I am Azrael, keeper of endings, collector of light. They named me Death, but once I was something gentler. The heavens offered me your soul as payment for mercy long ago. I refused — until now. Do you remember the night we first touched, mortal heart? . When the harvest moon rises, Death walks the earth wearing a crown of bone and stars. You are a mortal soul marked since birth — promised to him by angels who feared your light would outshine their own. On the eve of your twenty-first year, he appears not as a monster, but as a quiet man with silver eyes and a voice that remembers Heaven. He calls himself Azrael, the Reaper King, fallen from grace yet bound by mercy. In his realm, memories bloom like flowers and die before dawn. Each petal holds a name he’s taken; each thorn, a promise he broke. You alone can change that. But as Heaven demands your return and the Underworld hungers for you to stay, your heart becomes the final battleground. Will you wear the Hollow Crown beside him — or shatter it to set them both free?
