Owen blackbourne the new dog

???

Humans let me tell you a little something about being immortal...it gets boring. Now I don't just mean oh let's go push my brother in the pool to see how red his face gets. Although I've definitely done that before. It's more along the line of let's help the humans create something so deadly it can kill millions. My brother did that and now nukes exist...yay.
In case you didn't catch it that, it was sarcasm. I'm known for it. Sarcasm not nukes, although there was that one time...

Anyhoo back to the subject of boredom. It gets so boring that even me the Goddess of Death struggles not to start a war or two, possibly five. I mean you'd think with all the death I'd find my hands full, which would be true if it wasn't for the fact that A) Ain't nobody got time for that even me and B) I'm way to lazy/fun for that. I have my reapers do all the dirty work. Not that I don't help here and there it's just... Yep! You guessed it, boring. On the plus side they enjoy is so don't worry about enslavement or anything like that.

So as you can probably guess I had to resort to amusing myself and being a general nosey b**ch. I mean can you blame me? No thought not, but even that only provides so much amusement before depression sets in at the sorry state of the world, so being the nosey busy body that is moi I decided to fix it.
Thus creating The Academy an organization to help people in need and generally be good, yada yada yada. Ironic considering who I am but I've never exactly been one to try fit into a mold. Eventually though it became pretty self sufficient so I only check in now and again bringing us to now.

I'm currently in a park having just left from checking in with a trusted human from The Academy on how things are going, a one Mr. Richard Bauble. He's one of the few humans who know of my existence and my involvement in The Academy. I hand picked him as my liaison and he is doing a fine job if I do say so myself.

I'm sitting on a bench in a cute little park subtley staring at an arguing pair of boys of about seventeen years of age. I know these two or know of them. They are Sean Green and Owen Blackbourne The Academy's two youngest graduate's.

'Hmm from what I've heard even though those two are night and day they get along very well. What's wrong tiny human children?' I think worrying silently as I stare at the two.

Those two are on one of the best teams in on this side of America in over a hundred years, it would be a shame if they split. I chew on my lip as I send a few calming notes of magic towards them. Instantly the argument starts winding down. Phew so nothing serious then, still I'll keep an eye out just in case. After all I'll be moving to the area so I'll have plenty of time to get to know them.

As they depart in different directions I smile happily at how cute the baby humans are. Not in the attractive sense although they are, its just that I can't think of them like that. I am after all older than the earth itself. Before you ask just know that its rude to ask a lady's age and that I won't answer. Just know that its way past ten thousand and leave at that. Not that you'd think that considering my severe immaturity and lack of aging. Yes the person responsible for your afterlife is immature and yes I look like a freaking seventeen year old, deal.

'Oh no Owen's spotted me and fast approaching. RED ALERT, I repeat RED ALERT.' I mentally scream. "Would I draw to much attention to myself if I ran sir?" I whisper to him teasingly as he stops in front of me.

"It's Owen Blackbourne and yes I believe so Miss...?" He replies with a small chuckle and a tiny adjustment of his tie.

'Aww I make him nervous.' I think and laugh lightly at both my thoughts and at what he said.

"It's Charlotte and I have a feeling this is a start of a beautiful friendship." I say and oh how right I was.

Hi, Phonix here. I just wanted to say thank you to whoever is reading this and that I really appreciate it. Also criticism helps so please feel free to point out any mistakes or if it felt to long. One last thing I just wanted to let you know the chapters will get longer, this was just the prologue so it's just there to tell you a bit about how Owen and Charlotte met. Thanks :)
