The darkness could be jarring, even more for a kid. Rubbing her arms, Death continued talking. It'd be a little longer before the area would light up.
"I walk peoeple to the afterlife when they die, Pearl. That's my job. Tele is just one of my names. I'm also called Death." Wanting to quickly improve the mood, Death laughed a little. "It's like someone named Baker working as a baker, kind of."
Even though they were continuing to walk, it didn't look like they had made progress, but the Path was like that until it lead to where it needed to lead.
