The weeks sped by, time continued to move, and more people came out of hibernation taking to the streets and resuming life. For some reason unknown to them, this winter seemed to be easier than others. Less people had died so far compared to the last winter, including the mecha warriors themselves. Even though the ordinary people did not know, the mecha warriors knew, it was because of Scarlet Wu and her information. Timely information on the mutated beasts had given them an advantage in every battle and saved many lives.
It was coming to two months and only a few more weeks were left to bid winter goodbye, the smiles on the faces of the people were brighter, it was almost over, they thought.
Scarlet on this fine winter day was currently battling a hoard of soul eaters, they were all soul collectors that had been hiding on the grey star, another desolate planet which looked almost no different from the blue star the first time set her eyes on it. In a way, it was different because it had a larger population and well defined cities but they were poverty stricken cities. It was no wonder that the capital, the green star and other developed star planets were overpopulated, everyone was abandoning the undeveloped planets and moving to the developed ones.
At the moment, she resembled a human torch, a human green torch that was just refining everything that crossed her path with so much fury and anger. Her entire body was surrounded by green flames, from her hair, her hands to her feet. Even her eyes were glowing gold and green and every time she yelled, the flames exploded with a great burst of energy which made it easy to finish off the eleven soul collectors with ease.

One soul eater, the leader of this group, a level six soul tried to escape and she released her soul binding rope, with a burning green flame which wrapped itself around the soul eater's neck and she dragged it back as she choked it painfully.
Beside her, Severus was nodding in approval, "That's it, you are becoming more powerful." he said.
She did not pause to show off as she usually did, rather, she stayed silent, fueling her rage into destroying the soul eaters. Silently, she sat down on a chair and waited patiently for the soul eaters to be refined and then she opened her soul gourd, collecting the harmless souls.
"Miss," a small weak voice called her.
Turning around, her eyes landed on a small child, a small talking soul of a little child, probably five or six years old. The child, a girl, could see and hear Scarlet, she also emitted a strong white smoke, filled with pure energy stronger than even Maddox's. As a grim reaper, part of her was excited to reap such a soul. As a mother, she felt incredibly sorry for the little girl who died at such a young age.
"I will be damned." Severus said, "It's no wonder there were so many of them gathering here."
"They were here for her." Scarlet realized too.
Of course, she recalled now, the favor!
"You can't back out on it, these things have consequences in our world, you need to give the soul up." Severus could see the little thoughts and reluctance in Scarlet's eyes.
"I do not intend to back out of the deal." she answered. "I am just beginning to see why favors in the underworld are not a good idea. A strong pure soul, even though she is young..." she said, laughed dryly and sighed.
"She is worth a lot." Severus finished her incomplete thought for her.
She looked up at the sky and sighed, again, "Does it make me bad to think this way? A little girl died and I am thinking about the worth of her soul."
Now, that vulture and merchant of death thought was even more prominent in her mind.
"It is the way of your kind." Severus replied. "Look, I will deliver the souls and you can go back to sulking over the fact that your husband has not contacted you in weeks."
If she asked for his personal opinion, Severus would tell her that he was glad her human husband was keeping a distance. She was training more, concentrating on learning fighting techniques and she had also started learning how to pilot a mecha, the ones used in mecha fights. There was a lot she had accomplished using her frustration in this time period.
He was more surprised at the fact that she had not yet used her blinking power to show up and check on him as a grim reaper. If she wanted to find out so badly why he was not contacting her, why not go in person and check? But he did not care, as long as she continued training ruthlessly, he would pretend not to notice anything.
She blinked and opened her eyes, her body was inside a lone library pod, one of the ones that projected warmth and a beach. In her hands was a book, the wolf and the seven little kids. It was another fairy tale Wednesday or story time with the governor as it was now famously known on the blue star and online. It was not just children and parents that attended, all sorts of people came, just to listen to these fascinating stories. Story time had ended an hour ago, but the library was full, people stayed behind to read. All the solo reading pods were full, the tables too and the curves and bends which could also work as comfortable seats were occupied by readers.
They would need to construct a public library after winter because this one would only be open to her and tourists.
When she was leaving the library, she received a phone call from Mina.
"Friend, your husband is on television, have you seen it?"
