They live in the sky. When your time comes, they swoop down from above and collect you. They are not the punishers, nor the rewarders. They are the escorts; the collectors, who take you where you need to go when your time in this world has been spent. Many believe they are evil, that they are the ones who take lives for their own. But that is wrong. I know that they always have a reason for collecting a soul. They must have had a reason for taking the lives of my village. So why didn't he take mine?
