He reached out on the underworld forum, not star net. High energy crystals were too valuable to pass up.

On the underworld forum, they could chat face to face as if it was a video call. fre ewebno vel.com

"Ramslin." She said his name.

"Hound." He replied.

She stayed silent for two seconds and then shrugged, whatever he chose to call her, she didn't care much.

"I want flower seeds." She said, first. "And then, I have a question for you."

They completed the transaction successfully and he beamed happily as he collected six high energy crystals from her.

"Please come again." He said.

"Sure, where are you? I discovered some things that I want to ask you about? Is it possible for us to meet? Can you come to my planet as a reaper?"

He appeared to be slightly confused but he said, "Sure, I am in the underworld, give me a minute."

They both kept their lines of communication open and less than a minute later, he told her that he was outside her castle gates.

She blinked and appeared next to him.

"I thought you would invite me in." He said. His eyes roamed over the castle with much interest.

"Would you invite me into your place?" She asked.

"No." He replied, with no hesitation whatsoever. He did not even have to think about it.

Scarlet wondered why grim reapers had to be invited into the home of another grim reaper like vampires in movies. If there was no invitation, they bounced back against an invisible shield.

Then again, with their blink abilities, if one had access to your home, they could do whatever they wanted, whenever they wanted in your home. Showing up whenever they desired like deities and that could be quite annoying too.

"See, we don't trust each other, and that's okay because we are strangers. Just because we are grim reapers does not make us friends or family." She told him. She had learned now after being attacked twice by fellow grim reapers. They were the same but different.

"So, why am I here, hound?" He asked.

"Come with me." She touched his hand and transported both of them away, directly to the place with the vortex.

She waited for him to look around and then pointed to the red vortex. "That," she said heavily, "That is why you are here. Have you ever seen anything like it?"

"Aah, that stupid hole which leaks souls. Did you bring me all the way here for it?" He gave her a glance that said 'I am unhappy, you wasted my time.'

"Well, yes." She answered. "Doesn't it bother you that souls are leaking into our world from another place? Our workload is bigger because of it. How do you know if soul eaters are not coming out of it as well? Do you know what it is? Don't you care about what is on the other side?"

"I know it exists." He replied in such a casual manner as he opened his soul gourd to collect the random souls which were falling out of the vortex. "What are you whining about? This hole is like a mine for us, a mine to grow our power and it only appears for three months in a year before closing up. It always moves from one star planet to another and I have no desire to know what's on the other side or why it appears. I have not received any instructions from our Lord or any deity to venture inside so yeah...I should go now and so should you. Let the humans handle their affairs hound, the hole was there long before you and I arrived."

She scoffed and shook her head, he was talking crazy so casually as if this was not a big deal.

"You must have lived on a beautiful world before you died and became a reaper. Me, I lived in a world which was okay until one day something changed. People fell sick and became monsters, mothers ate their children and survivors lived in hiding, starving and suffering. When I see something weird like this, I can't help but wonder if whatever is on the other side won't ruin this world someday. I don't want to go in either, all I really want is to close the hole up and move on with my life. I thought you knew something that might help, sorry to bother you."

She blinked and returned to her castle. "Aah, that asshole." She complained as she kicked her legs up and down on the couch like a child throwing a tantrum.

"You met Ramslin, I take it." Severus popped up in the room and chuckled.

"He doesn't care, he knows it exists and he just doesn't care." she shook her head in disbelief. "How can he not care?"

"Because he is not human, not truly anyway, and he gets free souls from there. What did you expect, that hole is to Ramslin what your green flame is."

"So," she put her feet down and looked at Severus for answers. "What did you find out in the underworld?"

"I found out that you are not to go into the vortex, not as a grim reaper anyway. But if you want, you can go in as a human. The only way to go in as a reaper is to get special permission and even if you do, the souls you reap from the inside will not contribute to your power because it is not your world and you were not invited in."

"So, I provide free cheap labor." she said.

"Yes." he answered. "What do you plan to do?"

She laid back down on the couch, put her feet up and covered herself with her blanket.

"What does that mean?" Severus asked.

"Nothing, Severus, for now anyway. I have thought about it and Ramslin is sort of right, the hole was there long before either one of us came to this world. Winter is almost over, so going in there would be foolish because he said the hole also moves. I could end up in a totally different world by being careless. I think it's too late to do anything about it and I will wait for next year to revisit the issue. What I am going to do is send a few of the cats out with cameras to record the footage which I will mysteriously share on star net and the emperor and his people will begin figuring out what to do. I do not believe that this hole has never been encountered before. There must be records of it's existence somewhere because it appeared long before they started making shields and barriers."

"Wise choice, let the humans handle their problems. Meanwhile, I brought a training device so let's go, the clock to those games is counting down and you must be one of the top three, okay, top three Scarlet." he emphasized.

Severus was very much in agreement with her about not going into the vortex but what he said was more in line with Ramslin's opinion.

Were they both right and she wrong? Scarlet really wanted the opinion of a third party on this.
