Tobias nodded, and found himself taking a hesitant step towards the young man.

“Don’t worry,â€? the man said laughing. “I don’t bite.â€?

Tobias felt a wave of calm wash over him at the man’s words, and he grinned despite himself.

“Are you ready?â€?

“As ready as I’ll ever be,â€? Tobias replied.

The man nodded, and raised his hands in the air, bringing them down in a sweeping motion. A glowing portal appeared where his hand has been, and he took a step towards it. When he noticed that Tobias hadn’t followed, he turned and smiled. “Don’t worry,â€? he said grinning. “The afterlife isn’t that bad.”

Tobias took a deep breath and nodded. He took a step towards the portal when suddenly lightning flashed across the sky, and another young man appeared. His hair – in contrast to the first young man’s – was almost black.

“What are you doing here Jeremy?â€? the first young man asked, growling slightly. “I thought I told you to stay away.”

Jeremy grinned. “Sorry to dissapoint brother, but you know how it is.”
