Chapter 1: Disturbance

by Ethereal_Whispers

Ethereal_Whispers This is the opening chapter to a series I've been writing for a bit now. I'm going to post the chapters here to get some feedback as I plan to adapt it to video once I'm happy with the story. So enjoy, and feel free to critique it. The current title is not final, and if anyone has any ideas for a possible title I'd be happy to hear it.

As a slight disclaimer this idea isn't entirely original as it is based off of the excellent anime Death Note, however, this isn't like the Death Note 2017 Netflix movie (Which I didn't think it was that bad) where I use the original cast and bastardize them with my opinions of what they "should have been." So enjoy.
In a mostly deserted realm inhabited by what appeared to be dead plants, a cloaked figure with a crudely made bag close to him sat among the lifeless fauna near a colorless fire watching the flames burn, he reaches into a bag near him pulling out a dried out item and then proceed to crush it at the sight of it, as he does a figure approaches it stops only a few feet from the sitting figure and spoke "Yetamo, what are you doing here?"
"I'm bored. Bored out of my FUCKING skull," Yetamo speaks before letting out a slight chuckle as an idea came to him, "How about we," He reached into his bag and pulls out a notebook before writing in it. He continues to lift it up and slight shaking it in the process before continuing, "play a different game?" The other begins to laugh at the idea for a short time before slowly starting to calm back down slowly.
"Oh... You're serious."
"Of course I'm serious," Yetamo spoke angrily.
"What's wrong with the game we already play?"
"IT'S FUCKING BORING AS HELL!!!"
"How about you explain the rules of this game?"
Yetamo let out a slight chuckle, "Well. How about we drop our notebooks into the... the...
"Human World?"
"Yes, thank you. We drop them and see which one stays there longer."
The other chuckled at this idea, "This sounds interesting. However, what of Kairian? What does he think about this game?"
"He... he uh... doesn't know about this. It'll be a black book kind of thing."
"I'm not sure about this."
Quickly thinking about what to say to get the other to do it Yetamo says, "Come on name a victor's price. I give you the Mask."
"I'm still not sure about this."
Yetamo held his out hand for a hand shake, "Come on, won't you shake a poor sinner's hand
"Deal," the other spoke as they moved closer to shake Yetamo's hand.
After they both made their way to a doorway shaped portal, the travel about 20 minutes worth in human time. Before entering the portal Yetamo spoke one more time saying, "May the best win." They walked through the portal with a bright flash over taking their vision.

At that moment in the middle of a bustling city with traffic about and suddenly a black notebook lands on a side walk. It sat there for a minute or two before someone walked up to it picking it up by a person dressed in a coat and hat and a book bag at their side, the person looked at the note opened it up, finding writing within it they slowly begun reading the writing on the inside of the book under their breath. Not before long they put it in the book bag and walked off into a café.
