AN: First Story Technically, go easy on me. I also obtained a Beta - Reader and thought the plot out through to make it pretty entertaining. Hope you enjoy =] Also I know this is short. It's about 700 words. Their will be MUCH MUCH MORE. So don't be expecting to read short passages. This is a one time thing. I promise. In the future you'll read maybe 3k-4k
The Tale of the Three Brothers from The Tales of Beadle the Bard has been told to many generations of wizards and witches as a fairy tale to teach them morals such as humiliation and wisdom. What they don't know is that these events actually happened...Well, to a certain extent. The fairy tale is partly incomplete and it is I shall share the correct and complete story... the tale of the first Soul Mage...
The three brothers were known as the Peverell family. Antioch, Cadmus, Ignotus Peverell. Each won a gift from Death. Antioch wielded the Elder wand, the strongest wand in wizard-kind. Cadmus wielded the Resurrection Stone, which was able to bring back the spirits of the dead. Finally, Ignotus wielded the Invisibility Cloak, with the ability to hide from Death himself. What no one else knew was that the Invisibility Cloak gave the wearer a bloodline gift. Sadly, young Ignotus learned this the hard way.
Flashback
Ignotus was once again studying the magical properties of the Invisibility Cloak he obtained from Death himself. The runes on the back of the cloak appeared to be a blood rune. To any normal person, they were just incomprehensible scribbles, but Ignotus was never normal. At a young age, he strived to master the obscure art of Runes and devoted most of his free time to studying and experimenting with them.
Blood Runes only activate to the blood of the owner. Since he was technically the owner, he decided to try it out. Consequences be damned.
Ignotus steadily lifted his dagger across the palm of his hand and gave it a swift cut, slowly dropping three drops of his blood onto the cloak.
The effects were instantaneous. The runes glowed bright blue. Ignotus staggered for breath as he felt a familiar presence.
"I see you've found out the hidden power I've left for you," muttered Death.
"Left for me?"
"Yes Ignotus...You shall be able to steal souls...There is much you can do with this ability, though it's up for you to find out how..."
"I see," said Ignotus, already thinking of the pros and cons. "Will my descendants have this ability?" "
"It's a possibility, if certain requirements are filled...But enough questions! To gain access to your blood-line, you must put the cloak on...The process is long and painful...Are you ready?"Ignotus put on the cloak. Seconds later, he was faced with excruciating pain, knots twisting, organs on fire, body rearranging, his very genetics changing. The mental pain was too much for Ignotus. He screamed, screamed until he was hoarse. Luckily, he was in his house which was warded with an invention of his called a Fidelius Ward, so he didn't draw any attention.
The pain went on for hours and hours before, finally, it stopped.
Lying in his study on his back, Ignotus was too numb and hurt to even move. Just as he fell into unconsciousness, he heard Death speak.
"Find the other Hallows if you wish to Master your powers..."
AN: Don't you just hate a cliffhanger xD... Anyway, Don't Worry I made the prologue short cause I usually hate reading them. . Anyway Peace Off!
