Not unlike Quartoth.
I had barely been given time to think about what it had been like in Quartoth. My father, who I didn't know was my real father at the time had told me that those demons would keep hurting my family if I hadn't gone to see this Vail demon

I didn't know much of death. I had two lives to try to figure it out, but I hadn't made any headway with that.
My first life had been a quick one, taken away by Holtz and in order to escape Angel, brought to a hell dimension, more fierce then most, by all accounts.
I had never given death ba second thought there. I was too busy protecting my father, after he had taught me and I became formidable.
I didn't think that I would ever die there, because I couldn't. I had to survive to protect Holtz, and to get back to Earth somehow and rid the world of my birth vampire father.
My second life, created by Angel, had been much easier. Death had never ben an option, because life was cheery. I had happy memories and a loving family. I never fought and until thatvan hit me, there was no cause to think about death.
The only time that I ever really had was when I had gone to face Sahjhan.

Angel had trained me going into the battle, but it diodn't make up for anything, once I lifted the top of thatvase and his ugly mug had been brought out.
He spoke of prophecy and I had no idea of what that meant, that strange flas with my whole real life passing through my eyes, not occurring as of yet.
The fight with him made me realize that I was in over my head and real death in my sheltered life became a very real possibility.
When he had me by the throat, I thought that I was dead and images did flas through my mind. They weren't really what I woul call pleasant ones.
They were brief, but there. I thought about it and I thought that there would be nothing for me but this peaceful soul floating around, and real angels everywhere, but then the window smashed, and life took on a new meaning.

I knew that I was disturbed and that pissed me off more then Sahjhan's fingers around my neck did.
I made quick work of Sahjhan, but then, even knowing that my whole life had been a con, I was not angered by Angel's decision and while the anger of my former life was still there, it didn't own me, it didn't make me want vengeance upon my real, vampire father.
Instead, I wantd to kep my life together for those of whom still mattered to me, even if they weren't my real parents.
It became apparent to me that they didn't know wht had happened and still considered me their dutiful and lucky son, a student at Stanford.
But, then Angel came to see me at that cafe, and I knew that something was going on.
But, death still didn't enter the equation.

That night, the night of my death, there was a stir in the streets and I knew that I had to go to the law firm.
I saw him there, fighting a well dressed and powerful man. My dad wasn't doing very well, and I had to get in there and yeah, the big well dressed man had tossed me around, me, a superhero, like a piece of paper, but then my dad got control of things and no death thoughts were there.
My dad eventually killed him, and yeah, the building was starting to cave, but I had great speed, greatreflexes and was sure that I could get outand then that beam hit me.
I didn't even know if my dad saw what had happened, but I hoped that he was winning whatever battle that he was in now.
Meanwhile, death was now a reality, and I had some real thoughts about it now.
