Scarlet was watching this news update in her office, the governor's office with Fey. She was sitting in a chair with her arms folded across her chest while Fey stood besides her, shaking her head while the news anchor narrated the gruesome details of the death of the ministers, Samael Rogan and the injuries of the crown princes.

"Can you believe it?" Fey asked when the news showed a censored image of Samael's body. Even though most of the body was blocked, bits of burned body could be seen.

The bodies of the ministers too were showed, one had his head partially decapitated by the spikes of the Draco.

"I really can't." Scarlet answered. She meant it seriously because she had reaped one of the souls. Ramslin had beaten her to the other souls.

In death, there was no difference between the rich and the poor because Samael's soul was just like all the others. He was a very proud and extraordinary man in life, but in death he was extremely ordinary, his soul was not even special.

While over there she happened to over hear what Esong and his men said, so when she said that she couldn't believe it, she really didn't.

"I say, good riddance." Fey said with a slight scowl on her face. "That bastard spent years cheating other scientists, stealing recipes and claiming them as his own, buying political power and recently trying to influence others to destroy everything related to food. If he had lived any longer, he would have been a big threat to us."

"Well, we might as well close that chapter and move on." Scarlet switched the channel from the news to the soap tv.

"But, are we really safe?" Fey asked, with a hint of worry in her eyes. "Should you be telling the citizens to head back inside because it doesn't look like winter is ready to say goodbye to us yet."

"We are safe." Scarlet said, confidently. Neither Severus nor the mecha warriors had detected any hidden mutated beasts on the planet.

There was much work to be done, the vegetables in the green houses were ready to be harvested. Even the cola fruits had ripened, waiting on a new harvest.

Some of the seeds she got from Maddox's storage bracelet had almost ripened as well and she was waiting for Oak and Bell to tell her so that she would identify them.

The only thing that she identified so far were almonds, the trees had bloomed towards the end of winter.

It was only when she got to the hall of guardians that someone finally approached her.

It was a young woman, a female reaper who could not have been older than fifteen. Her dark blonde hair was tied up in a ponytail and she had the biggest smile on her face. It was Scarlet's first time seeing this girl. But since she called her cookie lady, it was possible that she was the one who bought the cookies she put up for sale.

"Hey cookie lady."

Only two people had bought cookies from her so far.

"Hi," she returned the girl's smile with one of her own.

As she did, she wondered why a reaper so young, existed. It was her assumption that they all had to be mature to do the job.

"Pffft!!" the girl chuckled.

"What's funny?" Scarlet asked.

"You," the girl said, "You don't recognize me at all , do you?"

Scarlet squinted her eyes and came closer to look at the young girl. But the more she looked, the more she was sure that this face was unfamiliar and new to her.

"I am sure, I don't know you." she said.

"Take a guess?" the girl said.

"I am not good at playing the guessing game dear, you will have to come out and be direct." She responded.

The girl chuckled again and then said, "It's me, Maddox."
