Scarlet gasped and came closer, she looked at the girl and shook her head.

"No way." she said and she chuckled. "No way." She repeated.

Old Maddox had been transferred into the body of a beautiful young girl!!! It had to be weird for him.

"What happened to you?" Scarlet asked her.

"What do you mean by what happened?" Maddox asked, completely unbothered by her question. "I am a reaper now, just like you. Isn't it cool?"

"Mmm-hmm." Scarlet put her right hand over her mouth and she nodded. "So cool." she mumbled, and then she laughed for a good five minutes. You can trace the roots of this content at n0v@lbin

lightsnοvεl Maddox stood there, pouting her lips as she waited for Scarlet to get the laughter out of her system.

"I cannot believe they made you a girl." she said when she calmed down. "I keep picturing you as an old man, the one I met. And yet, seeing you like this_," she raised her hand and moved it up and down over the girl's figure. "It's weird."

"For me too, especially in the beginning. I mean I lived my entire life as a man and suddenly I am a female grim reaper. I keep looking down at my chest and going, woah!!" She looked down at her chest, back and forth from her left breast to the right one.

Scarlet chuckled again, and then she pulled the girl over to one of the swings to sit down and have a brief conversation.

"Tell me, where have you been? And which world are you living on? How are you coping with everything?"

Maddox shrugged and started swinging herself slowly, "It's okay, I guess. I mean I like the not dying part."

"What else?" she pressed.

"I like feeling helpful, gathering souls and keeping the world order perfect is a useful job. More than that, it was the only way to keep in contact with you who promised to help me avenge my family."

"Speaking of families, yours in particular, why didn't you tell me about your sister and niece. I was very surprised when I met them." she said.

"What was the point? I just didn't want them to suffer, you have seen what their injuries are like. Their is nothing left for them in that world anymore. Did you reap their souls?"

"No," she looked over and told him, "I saved them, they received medication and both of them are doing okay, your sister is an angry woman who wants revenge but most of the people on the Sun star that wronged your family are close to death already. I did research on the names mentioned in your journals. Don't worry about them, they are living with my family now and they will be okay."

It was ten minutes past five and she was late for the naming and blessing ceremony of the baby.

"Oh crap!" she said, "Mum is not going to let me off easy."

Then, she rushed out of her office and raced past Tion whose had remained in the air because he was about to knock on her door, again.

"Let's go, let's go, let's go." she said.

"I have been knocking on your office door for hours." Tion said, "What have you been doing?"

"Sleeping." she said.

Tion did not justify her answer with a response, he simply followed her into the car and they raced off to the temple.

Scarlet dialed Fey's number and hoped that maybe she too would be running late.

"Sister, where are you?" Fey whispered into the phone.

"On my way, how late am I?" she asked.

"Five minutes, we are starting." Fey answered.

"Okay, try and stall if you can." she told her.

Fifteen minutes later she was at at the temple and she joined the rest of the members of the Su family who were being led in prayer by monk Fion.

Scarlet squeezed herself between Carolyn and Fey, but she did not miss that small glare of disapproval which her mother shot her. 'You are busted,' it said.

She looked up and pretended not to have seen it while Carolyn snickered.

After prayers, they all lit some incense and made some offerings before leaving the temple.

Baby Illa Su was sleeping peacefully with a smile on her face and Mega Su was contented as she watched the baby.

'I was right, a name is a very important thing.' she thought.
