As he shouted, he and Chen started shooting at the beastwort. “Get ready to run,” whispered Chen, so low Leaf almost couldn’t hear her. Walk to me, child, ere I set the beastwort upon your companions.” Major Penhaligon was whispering on his radio again, and Chen had moved her aim to the green Denizen. “Leaf-girl, your presence is required by my Master. “I am commonly called the Reaper, and that will suffice,” replied the Denizen. “What…Who are you?” replied Major Penhaligon. Leaf noticed that his thumbnails were a darker green than his skin, so dark they were almost black. “I have come for the girl called Leaf,” said this figure, clearly a Denizen. It was made from some dark metal that did not reflect the light. The staff of the scythe was at least nine feet long, and the curving blade stretched behind him, from shoulder to shoulder. In his right hand he held a scythe, the butt planted upon the ground.
