An Amarrian holder and his two Matari slaves die in a horrific accident while undocking from a station in Jita.
Soon after the three see giant pearly gates with a lone man standing guard. The first Matar whispers excitedly to the second, "look, these must be the gates to the afterlife. We're finally free!" The second grins and whispers back, "That man must be the gatekeeper, here to judge our lives. Finally our holder will get what he deserves for all those years of torture and cruelty."
"Indeed I am here to judge you," says the man, as he hears and knows all. "The worthy shall pass beyond these gates into bliss while the unworthy shall be cast down the dark road to oblivion." As he says this, a fiery and dark path appears next to the pearly gates.
"You," says the gatekeeper, and points to the Amarrian. "Step forward and be judged!" The look on his face is terrible, and the holder trembles as he steps forward. "Your life has been a mockery to all existence! Look at the pain and suffering you have caused! By your hand thousands have died, and you have relished in the anguish your actions hath wrought! Take comfort that there is no worse fate than oblivion or it would be yours. Begone!" And the flames on the path to oblivion leaped high.
"Aha!" shouts the first Matari, jumping in front of the terrified holder. "Justice at last. Tell us gatekeeper, what fate lies in store for us?"
The gatekeeper visibly calms as he reflects on the lives of the Matari. "Ah yes, you two have lived faithfully even under the heavy hand of this holder. You have suffered much and yet you have persevered. Your consciences are clean," he says, stepping back towards the pearly gates and assuming the silent reverie he had been in when the trio had arrived.
After a few seconds of silence the second Matari spoke up. "Is that it? Aren't you going to let us through the gates?"
Surprised to see the three still there, the gatekeeper glances down the long road to oblivion and then to the holder cowering off to the side. "You two didn't expect him to walk, did you?"
