Yama, the Reaper (Rook's Ravens)

I rendezvous with my old friend John, who is still a member of the Redeemers, meeting him in a dark alcove beneath an overpass "I can't take to you anymore. Rook called for the Reaper. You've been marked for death." as John tells me the news, an involuntary chill runs down my spine But there is no reaper, right John? There can't be. John gives me a sad look "I hope there isn't. For your sake. Good luck." with that, he walks away, leaving me in the dark with darker thoughts
