"What happened?" Gravis asked.

"I think I know what happened," Orthar said with a thoughtful expression.

"Enlighten me," the Opposer said evenly.

"You were abandoned," Orthar said.

The Opposer remained silent.

"Death wanted a will, but as a Manifestation of Death, you didn't have a will. Therefore, you couldn't possibly become Death's will," Orthar added.

Gravis' and Mortis' eyes widened in understanding.

Right!

How could someone without a will become the will of something else?

"Correct," the Opposer said evenly. "After trying to make me its will, Death simply receded."

"We were incompatible."

"After realizing that we were incompatible, it simply assimilated me into itself. I would lose my structure and become more Death. Like a drop of fresh water that had been thrown into an ocean, I would dissolve until I was part of the ocean."

"But, then how are you alive?" Gravis asked.

The Opposer's expression became complex.

"Energy interfered," the Opposer said.

Orthar's eyes widened with intensity as he heard that.

He knew what that meant!

"It noticed me, and for whatever reason, it decided to fill me with Energy. My old mind from before I have entered the Gate of Death had fused with the memories I had gained while being the Manifestation of Death."

"Emotions returned to my being. Dreams returned. My will returned. A new personality was formed."

"I was essentially born again."
