So uh...hey? I'm alive..and..well this idea popped into my head and K needed to write it out and see what sort of reception it gets. I'll make something clear though. THIS WILL NOT BE ON ANY TYPE OF UPLOAD SCHEDULE. yet. I just wanna hear some feedback, because I felt this was a category a bit lacking in the FMA and HP crossover department. Hope you like the premise~

I literally wrote this on my phone at 11am so sorry for any grammatical mistakes.

Harry awoke to find himself in a room..no a world of pure white. There was nothing else in the room, save for a being in front of him holding a strange...baby? There was a giant stone door behind the being, and now that Harry looked around, behind himself as well.
He slowly sat up and looked across to the being that was watching him with interest.

"Harry Potter...welcome." The figure of white spoke to him, his voice soft, but hard at the same time, as if it knew about all that happened in the world and was able to accept it.

"Where am I? Who are you? What happened?"
Harry let string of questions fall from his lips as the being in front of him smiled wider. Now that Harry could get a better look at the figure, it seemed humanoid, almost his exact body shape - it even had his lightning scar! The scar was the only thing that was coloured in the same beige as Harry's skin tone.

"You are in my Domain. The Domain of Truth. I am what humans call Truth, or maybe God, or maybe Death, or perhaps a wide variety of names. As for what happened...you died, Harry James Potter."
With each question Truth answered, the baby in front of him seemed to dissolve, if only slightly.

"When Tom Riddle fired the Avada Kedavra curse at you, he attempted to remove your soul from your body. However, a piece of his own, mutilated soul was in your body as well. You have now been sent here upon your death, and I am offering you a choice Harry Potter. Every being that comes to my realm has to exchange something. That is the law of equivalent exchange. You may not acquire something without losing something else. You, Harry Potter have brought a fraction of a soul. This..this is worth a lot, but not as much as a whole soul. As such, I am offering you a deal."

Harry held his breath as he listened to Truth, his mind whirling with thoughts. Voldemort's horcruxes...one of them was in his body? And he didn't even realise? He shuddered at the thought, thankful that it was now finally gone, even at the cost of his own life. He just hoped that ole Volde would keep good on his promise. Promises meant a lot in the wizarding world after all...right?

"In a few years, two boys will lose their mother. She will die of a disease that they will not be able to cure. Devastated by their loss they will attempt to bring her back..with Human Transmutation. They will meet me, they will have to give something up. But ultimately...they will fail. Their mother will not be brought back. It is impossible. I'm sure you are aware of this due to your interaction with the Resurrection Stone."

With widening eyes, Harry sucked in a breath. This person, Truth, Death, whoever, knew of the Hallows? Did they perhaps make them? They did refer to themselves as Death after all...it was a question Harry would ask after Truth was finished.

"The Deal is as follows. You have three options. Either, you can continue what would've happened in your world, wake up on that forest floor, and attempt to stop Tom Riddle again.
You could accept your death and move onto the afterlife and be with your family, I know that Lily and James Potter have been watching you from there."

Looking beyond Truth, a small white door appeared, only visible due to the black line that surrounded it, making it's outline seen. The son of Lily and James Potter yearned to see his parents. To meet them, talk to them, to finally hug them after all this time..and he would be able to see Sirius! And Remus! But...as Harry thought about this...he knew he couldn't leave life behind...not when he knew he had a chance to be able to save it. When he had a chance to help the next generation. His generation. He focused again on Truth for the third option.

"The third option...you go the country of the two brothers, you would be adopted by a couple - Izumi Curtis and her husband Sig Curtis. She will be the teacher that helps further along the two brother's alchemy knowledge. She has already tried to make a deal with me and perform human transmutiation and she too, has paid the price."

Mulling it over, Harry was confused. Why did Truth want him to go to this world? Why did Truth think he would accept?

"Why?" Harry asked, finally breaking Truth's monologue.
"Why do you want me to go? Why me?"

Truth's smile widened as he tilted his head.
The small baby, Voldemort's Horcrux Harry realised, shrank a tiny bit more.

"This world has what are known as 'Homonculi'. These are beings with a Philospher's stone inside them, making then effectively immortal. However, the creation of such stones uses many many human souls. Human souls that should've passed on. I am unable to interfere to reclaim the souls but you will be. As for why you specifically...I'm sure you remember the Tale of the Three Brothers? Well you Harry Potter own the cloak rightfully, and gained possession of the stone. You are the master of the Elder Wand after you disarmed Draco Malfoy in a duel, although I know you've figured that out now. Do you remember what the tale said about the one who gathered all three Hallows?"

"They would become the 'Master of Death', whatever that means.." Replied Harry, unsure as to the angle Truth was getting at, realising that if what Truth was implying was true, then he, Harry Potter, was the Master of Death.

"I see you've come to the realisation as to what you are now. This title does not grant you some almighty god power, nor does it make you immortal. It does however extend your lifespan, give you an advanced regeneration ability along with a boost in magical power. However, this is at the cost of being the one responsible for keeping the world in balance. It is your duty to help keep the world in order, and as such, it would fall under your job to help this world. The reason you get a choice, is because you have not brought all three Hallows to one place, although you almost did - but you dropped the stone in the forest."

Harry's emerald eyes peered into Truth as the being explained all of this. He couldn't believe it. All he wanted to do after Voldemort was defeated was to have a rest. And now he's being told he wasn't even going to be able to have that? Bollocks.

"What do I get in return for the Horcrux then? If going to help these brothers is in my job description, what do I get from this 'Equivalent Exchange'?" The cunning side to the black haired boy came to light, brought on by his annoyance. It was always there however, it just usually never had a chance to do anything as the brave Gryffindor Potter would always run in and not assess the situation.

Truth let out a laugh and nodded to the 17 year old.
"You are learning, Harry Potter. Well done. What you get, is knowledge of the new abilities that manifest in this new world, as well as all of your magic. Furthermore, you get to keep your new found abilities when you finally return to the Earth that you're so fond of. With that said, make your choice Harry Potter."

Closing his eyes, the Boy-Who-Lived thought about his options, weighing each one up and coming to a final decision. He opened his eyes and looked directly into where Truth's would be if the being had them.

"Fine. I'll go."

"I knew you would Harry Potter. Good Luck on your journey, your knowledge that I will grant you should be helpful in figuring out this new world."

With a wide grin, the massive door behind the white being opened, and Harry was lifted off the ground, being drawn towards the door until finally, he was past the doorway, and the door slammed shut behind him, his final thoughts echoing in his head.

"I guess it'll be a bit longer before I can meet my parents in a solid form."

He chuckled lightly as the darkness rushed towards him, engulfing him until there was nothing but silence and the dark.

But Llew, why aren't you updating any of your other fics? I hear you cry. Well..uh..shush. A levels.

Anyway, hope you liked it, any type of feedback would be appreciated! Thanks very much!
