They'd had many names before and after the curse, Viper, Mammon... the Mist Arcobaleno. Those were just the latest ones. It was strange, but they realized that even those in the Varia didn't even know there true name.
How long had it been since they shed there name.
Fleeing a situation no one should have to live with.
A cloud would have escaped long before then, as they hadn't realized what a gilded cage they were in.
They'd been a nimrod as a kid, but most kids were.
Not that they'd had a chance to be anything but, as they'd been raised practically a slave when growing up.
Tsh.. they saved that backwards magic using idiots known as magical's, but they'd demanded and demanded more. He was to be there eternal hero, wasn't he grateful to do his duty, marry who they told him to, and oh... that money the Government needs your heritage more then you.
They'd taken everything before he could even touch it, loosing the last bits of false freedom and any chance to learn what his parents had left him.
Of course the being once known as Harry Potter broke.
Just not in the way they wanted him to.
Mist flames born as his magic was sealed under there control.
He remembered Ginny screaming as he killed her when she tried to rape him on there so called wedding night. The terror as he ripped apart everything to claim what was his, leaving mist of the wizarding world shattered behind him.
He knew that even now they still hadn't rebuilt much.
He became Viper after, using Mist flames to hide himself and survive.
There would be no golden boy, no freebies or slaves for him ever again.
Everything would be paid in cash.
Trust was something that was something he couldn't afford.
He did find it hilarious though, that no one knew his true gender or name.
At least with the curse broken he could eat Mapo Tofu again.
Still he wondered if was time to move on from being Mammon, another name and life.
After all, as the Master of Death sooner or later it would be noticed hsi adult form wasn't aging.
