I’m really fixated on this idea about the Immortal Soldier, a powerful being commonly seen during epic battles or times of war, he can be your greatest ally or your worst enemy. But there are legends around him saying that he is also an ill omen – that whenever he appears, catastrophe is sure to happen –
may they be natural disasters or destruction made by human means or even pandemics – he is a harbinger of death.
but that is far from the truth…
It is not where the Immortal Soldier goes, death surely follows – but rather he goes where Death is surely to be there. He travels endlessly, following Death – immortality being a blessing and a curse. He is not immortal by his own means but because Death refuses to reap his soul.
And the battles he fights in or the towns, cities he travels to – the reasons why he is there is not that he enjoys to watch Death do his work, but the Immortal Soldier does what he can to help the living – reduce as much damage as he can… because he knows that once the spell is broken and the man that is now the vessel of Death finds out how much devastation he has done, it will break him.
