Death flicks dominoes
"DEATH"
"Life"
In a temple in the sky, far, far away, a tall cloaked figure closely examines his scythe. Reflected in the blades glint is a small boy with light brown skin, flame-red hair, emerald green eyes , zigzag shaped scar and ragged clothes. He is about 6 though lookes younger, and is sitting in a dark cupboard under the stairs.
Traces of blood are visible on his hand but the boy doesn't cry, too used to the pain.
Death, for it is he, looks very closely at the image and then growls deep in his throat.
He lays down the scythe and throws back the hood of his cowl, revealing his ghost white skin, piercing white hair, shining white fangs not dissimilar to a goblin's, and irises that are blacker than his pupils.
He begins to pace the temple, muttering to himself as he does so
"YES, I AM BOUND BY IMMORTAL LAW, BUT I AM NOT BOUND BY WIXEN RULE! I AM LORD DEATH AND I WILL NOT LET MY FUTURE MASTER BE TREATED LIKE THIS! I WILL ACT."
Immortal Law states that all deities are not allowed to manifest themselves to their chosen ones until said mortals reach their majority, namely, 17.
He pulls the hood up over his face and leaves.
The scythe, left behind on the floor, now shows Him leaning over the, now sleeping , boy and kissing him on the forehead then vanishing.
4 notable things happen after this; the boy's hair turns to the darker color of blood, his eyes (although closed) turn the exact colour of the Killing Curse, his light brown skin pales dramatically and his zigzag scar changes and grows so that it looks like an actual bolt of lightning, striking across his forehead.
(It may interest some people to know that, as the scar changes, an oily black mist pours out of it and flees.)
Then the reflection changes to Death touching a woman who resembles a thin blond horse on the forehead, implanting a thought into her mind.
No more is seen as He suddenly appears back in the temple and picks up the scythe.
As He turns to leave, a voice calls from the other side of the space. A beautiful lady stands there, Her hair is long and auburn, Her eyes a vivid blue, Her skin a tanned brown.
"LIFE. TO WHAT DO I OWE THE .. PLEASURE?"
The woman ignores him and speaks
"Are you quite sure that was the right thing to do?"
"IDON'T TELL YOU HOW TO PROTECT YOUR CHOSEN, DON'T TELL ME HOW TO PROTECT MINE."
"But getting that woman to leave him in the Orthogon Alleys?"
"ALL WILL BECOME CLEAR, IN TIME. BESIDES, HE NEEDS TO LEARN HOW TO SURVIVE IF HE IS TO BE MY MASTER"
"Yes, I have been meaning to ask, why did you create those Hallows?"
"THAT IS FOR ME TO KNOW AND YOU TO GUESS. NOW I MUST DEPART. GOOD DAY, LADY LIFE."
"And to you, Lord Death"
