Father of Death

Later on in the evening after Voltaire was helped to his room, he sat in a chair. Pondering things over and trying to think how much time he had left. While he wonder in the cover of shadow, one of the moons shining brightly this eve. A figure comes into his room, its steps was silently moving close to his chair. A skeletal hand gently places on the back of his chair, as the cloaked figure moves around. Voltaire glance up and saw them "Ah so you've come now. Is this truly my end? You here to guide me to the other side?"

The figure rolled his eyes, that sat in the skeletons head, before he pulled his hood back and looked like a man now. "Don't be stupid." his voice was low and rough. "You are not dying, might feel that way, but you are not." Voltaire tilt his head and clasp his hands into his lap "You know. " he states."To what do I owe the visit from the great god of death." Thanatos shook his head "Check on you, as I check on all who are mine." reach to grab Voltaire wrist.

"Because I know whats going on and I rather not have you forgetting who you are or belong with." as he held Voltaires wrist, it burned and Voltaire started to squirm in his chair, wincing and groaning "WHAT THE HELL?What are you doing?" he shout. A mark would appear onto Voltaire wrist "I told you." Thanatos spoke pointly. "You need never forget."

Voltaire jerk his wrist back and stares at the mark "What is going on that you felt the need to do this to me?" Thanatos shrugs and moves to lean against the wall "Well you bitch about a child not listening to you, you don't listen to me. However you alerted me when you pulled out your scythe. " Voltaire smiled "Oh are you going to handle astaroth?" Thanatos smirked "Don't be silly, I don't care what that pathetic demon tries to do. Only if he greatly shifts the balance would I ever step in and besides thats why I have you and every other death. Thats why I gave you all such power, to shift it back for me. Although I did take care of a small matter for you, you are welcome." 

Voltaire looked at him weird "Take care of what?" Thanatos smiled "Just know, when you shut down and rest. While your memories are vanishing, you need not worry over your little...vampires you have grown attached to. Besides this be a good lesson for you, that you can not meddle always and all the time in the lives of mortals." Voltaire shifts " Wait.....go back...I'm losing my memories?" Thanatos nods"Well yes, Doc checked you over when you got here, said your mind was still corrupted and notice you forget things or ramble on. I know a bit about what you are to know your body took action. Its erasing and shutting you down, when you awake it will all feel new again. Though not all your memories will be gone. Just you will have gaps, although I am sure when you first reawaken, you will have no memory. Why I marked you so you don't forget. I take care of my own."

Voltaire rub the mark and says "Wow...never once felt such fear before."shifting in his seat "I..I don't want that to happen." Thanatos reach out and patted Voltaire on the head "Fear not child, I only said parts of your memories will not return. You will still know who you are and if its too much you can always come home and be at your place." Voltaire looks at him "I'm not done with the mortals." Thanatos sighs "Yes I figured as much. Well I came to place that mark and chat. I will leave you and don't forget, you have Doc at your disposal. Most don't waste the fact of having a grim reaper at their beckon call. " Voltaire nods to him "You know me." Thanatos chuckle "I know you." before he was gone. Voltaire sat alone again and looked at the mark, letting out a sigh.
