Helix

By Child of Alvis

-HELIX-WILLYOUCONFESSYOURSINS?-HELIX-

In the land of Marcovia, there is a legend of a woman bearing white wings of sharpened steel who rises from shadows to cut down those who have sinned. She is said to be most kind and merciful to the innocent, and in contrast, it is said that her cruelty to sinners is boundless. Her name is whispered with fear and reverence, and she is the Harbinger of Death. Her name is Helix…

A woman clad in a nothing more than a nightgown ran through the darkness. She ran, and ran, and ran, knowing that it was futile to try and flee from the dark presence following her. She tripped and screamed, as she crawled away, only to find a pale figure rising from the shadowed ground before her.

Pitch black hair, pale skin, impassive silver eyes, and full, blood red lips appeared, followed by a shapely body, every curve and contour visible to the eye, for the woman was naked. Her only garment was the triangle of hair between her legs and the raven locks that cascaded down her back, as wings of razor sharp steel arced over her head, and a scythe of pale yew with a tempered silver blade was held lightly in her hands.

“Argalia Nemeria, will you confess your sins?”

“Wha-what sins?”

“You will not confess?”

“I have done no sins!”

“You cannot lie to me, Aragalia Nemeria. If you will not confess, then let your sinful soul fester for all eternity in the Realm of the Fallen.”

“No! NONONONONONOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!”

The woman’s screams were cut short as the scythe descended in a shimmering arc.

The darkness faded to reveal the blood soaked wooden floors.

“Punishment Complete…” The words drifted through the silent hallway as a single steel feather drifted lightly to the floor to land in the pool of blood…
