Oowooh, spooky!

I feel like I'm copying off the "Sandman" series, with Death shifting to others' viewpoints. To be quite honest, I always thought his true face would be that of whoever viewed him - only rotting. But, I suck at rotting faces, so enjoy the creepy skull.

I still wanted to keep the lost lower jaw, though. And look! A crooked tooth! I'm that bored.

…I prefer the shadow.

Originally, they BOTH flew here. Samael had developed wings, as he further evolved into a sort of Angel of Death (the eyes were the first stage, apparently). I might add them later, but for now I find it a bit… surreal. Things kinda break down after a while though, so it might fit better later on.

I think I know where Death really was, but I don't think I should talk about it. Ruins the illusion of "Afterlife or Not?" Though I think the soul gems kinda make it obvious the soul WOULD survive. If you can call that survival.
