"between life and death"- 5

recap- death made a deal with a man named Yun, Yun becomes a demi-god of death, abandoning his mortal life, in exchange for his wife's revival from death. After defeating the evil demi-goddess, Dalphana, Yun and Death await the demi-god Life, who may or may not fulfil the task of reviving Yun's wife.

Death and Yun, tired of talking to one another, stood in their ghostly forms near Yun's wife's body, whose soul was glowing brighter as time went on. Death explained that as her soul brightened, her soul was closer to permanently leaving her body, a point where it would take the power of the Creator to ressurect her. Yun was impatient, Death was waiting, and Life was nowhere to be found. The sun started to rise and seep thorugh the seperations of the bamboo walls of the mourge hut.
"Well, shoot." Death said, looking at his leg, disappearing in the sunlight. "Wow, I am off guard lately. We need to leave, Yun." Death hovered over, and despite Yun's pleads of his wife's company, Death pulled him by the arm, and they started to move extremely fast. They phased thorugh everything in their path for thousands of miles.
"Where are we?" Yun asked, mystified by the surrounding darkness and plains of wheat.
"The exact opposite side of the world where your wife lays right now, give or take a few miles." Death said.
"Why did we leave? I want to be there when Life comes to her."
"It's when she comes to life. Demi-god or not, Life is as much a state of being as it was when you were alive, just like we are a state of being."
"We aren't a state of... not being?"
"That would be Chaos' job. Chaos makes things cease, we just move them from life to death." Death said.
"So, why are we here?" Yun pleaded.
"Dawn and twilight are the two times of day that the space between life and death is the smallest. People die more often during these times than others, the gap is easier to travel. Her soul was going to start to be attracted to us, and she might have jumped into death faster than she should have. It takes three days for a soul to be fully prepared to survive the world of death, otherwise... Chaos does his job. All we can do is hope that Dalphana doesn't re-form, especially near your wife." Death explained.
"She could... remove her?" Yun asked, with desperate concern.
"Easily. You wife is already two days into her three days of preparation. I do have an idea though, It would be a bit of lateral thinking, but although you are death, you don't have a scythe yet, or the knowlege of the way to death. Your wife's soul might cling more to Yun than Yun-death. If she is reminded of something in life, she will be more anchored to her body, and resistant to Dalphana."
"You're going to send me to her? That would be awesome!" Yun said. "But what if Dalphana shows up?"
"She could destory you and either draw out, or absorb your wife's soul into her power. At this point, I am bound to do all I can to ensure your wife's revival. I have no choice but to send you there, or I will lose you as an apprentice." Death said, and waved his hand in a dismissing manner.
"But, you might lose me either way!" Yun said.
"I think that dalphana has that prophet I told you about. If I have assumed correctly, you might be able to destroy her, or at least kill her for the time being, without even having a weapon." Death said, and started to float away. "I have other buisness to attend to. active battleground less than a mile from here."
"How do I get to my wife?" Yun shouted, but could only watch as Death disappeared in the darkness.

Yun must find his way to his wife's location before it's too late in part 6.
