Wolflink93: Well hello everybody I am Wolflink93 I have just started reading His Dark Materials and have finished The Subtle Knife while I was reading it I was inspired to write this. Also this story takes place after Light dies and during the end of The Golden Compass. Now let the story begin. Also this is my first serious fanfic.

"woo hoo" talking

Italics are thoughts/flashbacks

Bolded italics are daemon thoughts.

Prophecy of the child:

"He shall come from a world of nothingness."

"Past sins he has committed."

"He has done evil in order to do good."

"He has tried to make a new world."

"And become God."

"With a note that's only purpose is death."

"But he has fallen."

"He shall come to the world of daemons."

"Reincarnated as Innocence."

"Now fate has given him another chance."

"What will he choose?"

"Good or Evil?"

"Light or Darkness?"

"He shall be the one to decide the upcoming war."

"Well after all they do say the pen is mightier then the sword."

"Or in this case the knife"

Whoever uses this notebook shall neither go to heaven nor hell. Light thought, in the world of Mu(1) all around him was well… nothing. Light had nothing better to do right now but to reflect, and reflect he shall.

Why did I have to pick up that Death Note? Why couldn't I have just ignored it? Why couldn't I have just kept thinking it was a prank and threw it away?

Flashback Light's POV

I was sitting in class teacher was talking about something. I didn't really care since I already knew the subject. I decided to look out the window. But… I guess that was my first mistake. I saw a black notebook falling from the sky with white letters on the cover that read DEATH NOTE. After class was over I went outside to see what the notebook was. I walked over to it and picked it up, I opened it. I read the first line. It read: The human whose name is written in this note shall die.

After I read that I immediately put it down thinking it was a prank. But just when I was about to walk away. I looked back at the notebook, then I went back over to it picked it up, and put it in my book bag. I kept thinking "This is ridiculous." Well when I got home I went into my room after speaking with my mom. I wasn't really sure what we were talking about since it happened so long ago…

Well I sat down turned on my lamp light and got a pen from my pen holder and put the pen toward the paper. But I hesitated. I was wondering who I should kill. I was thinking about killing a wanted criminal. But wasn't sure of which one. So I turned the T.V. on. Apparently there was somebody holding people hostage wasn't really sure how many but it didn't really matter because he was going to die.

I wrote his name down I waited. Watching the clock, and counted to 40 and then looked back at the screen. Of course it's fake. I thought. But then I stood up so fast that I knocked over my chair. On the screen they said… That the criminal just suddenly collapsed of heart paralysis. I still couldn't believe it.

Later at night I went out to a comic store, after my night classes. (Not really sure where he actually went we'll just go with comic store) While there, some gang came up to a woman walking it seemed like they were going to rape here because they were unbuckling her belt. I wrote a specific death for him to see if this notebook actually worked… It did. He was hit by a car when he was trying to catch the girl on his motorcycle.

Then later after I came back home, I probably killed around 100 criminals, when Ryuk showed up. Ryuk was a Shinigami with spiked blue hair, pale skin, black clothes, and a chain around his waist. He told me about the notebook and the rule that effects why I am here now. Whoever uses this notebook shall neither go to heaven nor hell. He also told me that one day that he would write my name down.

After that meeting with Ryuk I pledged to kill all of the people who didn't deserve to be in this world. Also I said that I would become god. But that didn't work out. Later I met L, and played a game of cat and mouse with him… I won. Then his successors Mello and Near took his place and that's when I lost. Ryuk wrote my name down after I was shot by Matsuda. And that's how I got here

End Flashback

"Well I guess I'll be floating here for a long, long time." Light sighed and just sat there floating. But there was also still one thought floating in his mind.

If you are nowhere then doesn't that mean you are somewhere?

Lyra's world 3 years later… Lyra's POV

I was tired, cold, and my breath was ragged. I was running to save a friend. But the only thing that was keeping me going was Rodger.

I have to save Rodger. I thought as I was running with my daemon, Pantalaimon.

We were running to save Rodger from my father Lord Asriel. Who was trying to open a doorway into another world. I didn't really know the details of how exactly he was going to do it. But one thing for sure was that Rodger would die if I did not save him.

Pan is getting tired as well. Lyra thought looking at here daemon who was shape shifting out of control to different animals, because of all the Dust that was in the air. Just as I looked back I could see Lord Asriel from where I was. So I ran faster I got there and tried to stop my father but he pushed me out of the way. Pan was trying to get to Lord Asriel's daemon, Stelamaria, a snow leopard.

Pan was forced to the ground by Stelamaria, thus I couldn't move. I could see from where I was Rodger's chest rising and falling. But then Lord Asriel did a few things with his machine. Which in turn… severed Rodger's daemon. Rodger stopped breathing… He was dead.

No! No! No! Not after I came all this way just to help Rodger. Not after I went into that horrible experimental facility. Where they were cutting people's daemon's away.

Then my mother, Ms. Coulter, came. Stelamaria let Pan go. He came back over to me as an ermine and got on my shoulder and coiled around my neck to comfort me. I saw Lord Asriel, and Ms. Coulter Kiss, my father and mother, were kissing!

Lord Asriel asked Ms. Coulter to come with him. She seemed to hesitate a second before answering. She said something. But I wasn't sure what it was. I could tell by the look on her face that she declined. Lord Asriel left without a second thought. I just stood there stunned at what I saw not daring to move an inch. But I knew what I had to do. I had to step through that window into another world and learn more about Dust.

"What do we do now Lyra?" Pan asked.

"I'm going… No! We're going to learn more about Dust."

"Then let's go." Pan said. I nodded and stepped through the portal into another world.

But little did they know that something else happened. Another window in another world opened.

World of Mu…

If you are nowhere then aren't you somewhere? Light kept thinking for three years. He was not able to come up with an answer to that question. Even though he is a genius. He still couldn't come up with an answer.

Then it happened. Light was just floating there when suddenly there was a bright Light. Light turned his head to see what it was. What he saw astonished him for it looked like he was looking into a window. He could see trees, houses that didn't seem to be from his time. He also saw somebody walking down the street with what appeared to be a red cardinal on there shoulder.

Light was curious but then he went wide eyed. As crazy as it may of sounded. Light knew he was looking into another world. He felt drawn toward it; it felt as though fate itself wanted him to step through that window. So he left. And Light was in Mu no more

Lyra's world…

As soon as he stepped through the window he noticed something was off immediately. It seemed he had grown somewhat shorter.

What! It looks like I'm 13 again, oh well at least I'm out of that horrible world. Now I need to find out where I am. Light thought shocked He stopped the woman he saw in the window. And asked her where he was. But when she looked over to him her face paled and it seemed like the bird was sharing the same expression.

Apparently people have animals in this world that they are connected to, and why is this woman looking at me strangely. Light thought.

"A ghost!" The woman screamed.

Light was surprised at what the woman said. "Miss I'm not a ghost." But he was already too late she was running off. Everybody looked at me and had the same expression on their face as the woman's. They all went back into there houses. Light could hear the bang and clatter of locks being set.

Light looked around there was no one in sight except for one man who was standing in a dark alley

"Young one, please come here." Light heard the man say. His voice sounded wise and powerful as if he has traveled through many lands, and learned everything there is to know about the world. Light walked over. When Light got there the man was a very tall, gray haired, old man, he seemed very strong, he also seemed to be wearing a cloak around his neck. But at the same time Light couldn't help but to think this man looked sick. He greeted me with a warm smile and said.

"Hello, my name is Jerry, and I'm going to tell you of the destiny you are to fulfill.

Destiny? Light thought confused.

Wolflink93: Well this is the first chapter. I will try to work on this story whenever I can. And please tell me if this is good or if I should burn it.
