Disclaimer: I own nothing but the story. And my OC's but that goes without the saying.
The nursery rhymes used if anyone wants to now is called "Oranges and Lemons."
Bram also uses a modified version of the "Six impossible things before breakfast..." quote.

Chapter 10: The Strands of Fate Pt 2
When we last left our hero, he was cursing all of existence for everything.
The Runespoor used Poison Fang
"Змея чертовски сын шлюхи!"
(Snake fucking son of a whore)
You lose 30 HP
"Твоя матьбольной шлюха , что ебать козу."
(Your mother is a diseased whore that fuck a goat)
That russian swear words book really increased his curse words vocabulary.
The Runespoor used Poison Fang
"сын-" Bram ducked the middle head, rolled from the left and barely got out of the way for the right head. The fang gazed his right arm, eating away at a section of the sleeve.
You lose 30 HP
"Yes. I know already!"
Due to Poison Fang, You been poisoned.
Bram growled at the message. "Thank you so very much."
"You welcome," the middle head chirped. The left head ignored his middle brother and glared at him. The right head merely smirked at him.
In fact Bram has a feeling that the right head is an asshole.
"He's so slow my mother can do better than that and she's dead!"
And he's right. Wonderful.
"Now is not the time," the left head hissed. The right head, Bram doesn't know how, raised its right ridge at it.
"There is always a time for this. Its a little thing called entertainment. I doubt you heard of it brother," the right head tutted. "Ancestor knows why I am stuck with such blowhards and idiots."
And to prove the point the middle head jiggled his head to a tune it could only hear. "I like mouses."
Both heads looked at their middle brother and sighed.
"Idiot."
You lose 15 HP from being poisoned
"Oh right. I forgot about that," Bram grimaced from the pain. He ignored the insults being hurled back and forth between the siblings and went into his inventory to pull out a Antidote Pot. He frowned at the bottle before deciding to drink it. Just because the liquid's color is green doesn't mean it's going to be too bad. Besides its not as if he can get poisoned from the antidote.
His face took on a greenish hue after swallowing the potion.
'Oh god.'
Bram slapped a hand over mouth preventing him from regurgitating the potion and everything he had in his stomach. That was interesting enough as bad as the time he ate raw dandelions from the gardens. He nearly ended up vomiting them up, but since he hadn't ate anything in days his stomach accept them for something.
But it still something he didn't want to end up repeating damnit.
You have been cured from being poisoned.
20 HP recovered from being poisoned.
For being such a good sport in being poisoned you have gained the Poison Resistance Skill!
"I hate you," Bram said glaring at the message shown. He turned his attention back to the bickering trio. They haven't paid any attention to him yet, that's good. Very good. That just means it's time to be sneaky.
His lips curled into a grin. "Sneak."
Bram walked right behind the bickering snake, aiming at their back. "Smash."
The Runespoor's whole body reared back in pain, letting out loud inaudible hisses. He watched it jerked its heads around to spot the source of the pain. He sneaked, more like fled, to hide behind a rock.
The right head sniffed the air. While the left let loose some creative curses words.
Bram made a mental note of those while listening to the conversation.
"I am going to enjoy eating that rodent," one of the-no- the left head swore.
"Who says you're the one going to eat him," the right drawled or sounded something like that to its brother.
"I'm the one doing all the work!"
"In what reality?"
Ouch. The snark is strong in that one.
"In all of them. I'm always doing everything while the middle dreams and you criticize everything."
"It's called entertainment. Specifically at the expense of you two." The right really is an asshole. "You have a planning obsession, middle is an dreaming idiot, and I make corrections without expending unnecessary energy.
The middle frowned. "Mousey. Where are you my mousey mousey?"
"Corrections my tail!"
"Technically its our tail. Don't get mad at me for telling the truth."
"I never get mad at you telling the truth. I get mad at you for not helping and criticizing everything we do."
"How else I'm suppose to tell you that you're doing it all wrong."
"Mousey mousey?"
"You can at least try to be constructive with your criticisms!"
"But why?" Bram is getting the feeling that the right is entirely too amused at the situation.
"Thats-"
"Just so you know the juicy meat bag is hiding behind the rock."
The hairs on the back of Bram's neck stood up. And he dodge to the right missing the left's attack by hairs breathe.
That asshole.
The Runespoor used Poison Fang.
"Slash!" Bram aimed the attack right into the left's head eye, causing it to rear back in pain. The right head seized the opening to attack but missed when he dodged it. And ended up getting the full brunt of his next attack. "Smash."
"Oooh, there you are Mousey. Come to my tummy," the middle head said happily ignoring his brothers' pain, before striking at him, tossing him to the side.
You lose 30 HP
When Bram got back up, it was to the Runespoor swaying and hissing. Staring at the snake was making his eyes his feel heavy. It was making him feel-fee-fe...
The Runespoor used Illusion.
The Runespoor used Hyper Fang.
Pain.
You lose 45 HP
Bram didn't dodge the second strike.
You lose 45 HP
And almost didn't dodge the next one. His head was swimming so much and he was pretty sure he saw six heads at one point. And no he was not kidding.
Taking a look around him, he could literally see three more Runespoors. What the hell happened?
…
Wait.
"Dispel!"
Dispel removed the Illusion.
The extra Runespoors disappeared leaving the original behind.
You was successful in removing the Illusion! LUK + 1
Time on the clock 5:30!
"ебать!"
(Fuck!)
"Mousey!"
Bram ducked the middle head, and repeated the mantra in his head as he plays a very twisted version of snake and mouse. 'I will not get angry, I will not get angry, I will not get angry.'
The Runespoor used Poison Fang.
Bram gritted his teeth as the left head took a chunk out of him. 'I will not get angry, I will not get angry.'
You lose 30 HP
'I WILL NOT GET ANGRY'
The Runespoor used Hyper Fang
Critical Hit!
You lose 56 HP
At that moment in Bram's mind the sound of a rubber band snapping echoed everywhere. His subconscious, finally fed up with holding back Bram's anger, throws his hands up in the air and said fuck this in Russian. It snapped the chains holding Bram back and went to the corner of his mind, slamming the door. The sign flipped over the words 'I'm done.' written on it.
"Heheheh."
Ability Status [Crazed Berserker] is in effect.
"HAHAHAHAHA!"
'Ooooh! Berserker happy time!' Bram's subconscious rolled his eyes.
The right head of the Runespoor took one look at the crazed look at its would-be-prey's eyes and instantly felt dread. "Oh fuck."
4:20
"HeRe SnAkeY SnAkEy!"
"NOT A MOUSEY NOT A MOUSEY!" the middle head screamed as the berserked Bram start pummeling and slashing any part of the snakes body he can get his hands on.
Bram crackling grabbed the Runespoors head to hop on. Spotting his target, he jump off the head straight to the left one's head.
"SMASH!"
Critical Hit!
"Brother!" the middle head screamed as the left head went down.
"HERE COMES A CANDLE TO LIGHT YOU TO BED." Bram crackled as he stared at the left head before turning to the middle one with madness in his eyes. "SLASH!"
Critical Hit!
The attack actually caused deep gorges into the the middle one's neck that it was nearly headless.
"AND HERE COMES A CHOPPER TO CHOP OFF YOUR HEAD," he said laughing as if it was a joke. His crazed smiled fell when he didn't see the right head laughing too. In fact the head was looking pretty terrified if the expression on its face is anything to go by. "OFF WITH HIS HEAD! OFF WITH HIS HEAD SO SAYS THE READ QUEEN!"
A fact that in the corner of Bram's berserked mind noted and made him upset.
Bram growling stepped closer to the next watching it flinch back with fear in its eyes.
"By the Basilisk! I knew we should have never have a contract with that wizard," it whimpered.
Mouth stretching back in a parody of a Glasgow grin, Bram declared the end. "CHIP CHOP CHIP CHOP THE LAST MAN IS DEAD."
"Creepy."
"You of all people shouldn't even be commenting," The Being snipped. "Last time I checked you're still banned from the Halloween Requiem."
Orange eyes glared at it balefully. "We agreed to never talk about That."
"You did. I didn't."
"I pray that the this Gamer gives you the most headaches to rival that of the D's," Jack growled at The Being.
The Being snorted. "No one can give me such headaches but D's." The Being waved off the threat. "Besides who would answer you?"
Bram pleased smile sent any sane person as he watched The Runspoor disappeared. He was feeling very pleased with himself.
He disliked things that did not see the funny side of views.
Times up!
Dark Lord Voldemort's Accidental Horocrux finished using its [Snakeskin] ability!
"Now that my Run-" The horocrux choked as it finally spotted him. "POTTER!" It screeched at its enemy. "How did you defeat my Runespoor?!"
Ability Status [Crazed Berserker] is no longer in effect.
Bram's subconscious went outside his door to look at the damage done. There was cracks all over the place but his anger has been chained up. He weary eyed the tainted place where the horocrux used to be. It seemed to have seeped into the cracks, but there is now way in hell he is dealing with that just yet.
Bram shook off the remnants of his crazed state and put it behind him.
"It was a crappy version of a Cerberus it was," Bram taunted the soul fragment.
"Avada-" It hissed at him.
Dark Lord Voldemort's Accidental Horocrux is used Killing Curse
"Kedavra!"
Bram duck the green light that blew up the tree behind him. That was too close to comfort and the thing was fast. But taunting dark idiots is too much a fun and effective tactic.
As long as you don't get killed that is.
"Are you experiencing some performance problems?" Bram sarcastic tone riled the thing up. "Cause you know failing to kill me as a baby, then failing to kill me now says a lot about your abilities." Bram smirked at the horocrux. "Have you seen a doctor about that yet?"
Its response was typical.
"Avada Kedavra! Avada Kedavra! Avada Kedavra! Avada Kedavra! Avada Kedavra!"
Bram ducked and weaved through the multiple killing curses. All while taunting it about its lack of genitalia.
"Honesty, if you have to go for an unholy dark ritual for immortality at least choose the one that includes keeping your boy parts."
"Avada Kedavra!"
Its naming choices.
"Flight from Death. How unoriginal and pathetic. I just can't take my seriously against a guy-er thing that calls itself Flight from Death."
"Avada Kedavra."
And above of musing out loud its dark lord resume.
"Lets see, names itself Flight from Death-you know I still can't get over that since its in French and you're English- chooses to do an immortality ritual that actually loses his boy parts on resurrection, are you sure you are a guy right? And lastly fails to kill his nemesis who is a child I might add...twice."
"AVADA KEDAVRA!"
Bram was ready to dodge this one like the others but he made a very critical mistake.
He forgot to check his surroundings.
So when it came to dodge the green light of instant death, he tripped on a crack. And he repeated the miracle of that Halloween night all those years ago.
He took the Killing Curse right to the head.

"WHAT?!" The Being exclaimed. "There must be some kind of mistake!"
Jack on the other hand start to snicker.
UNIVERSE IS NOT LIKING SYSTEM ERROR.
UNIVERSE IS NOT LIKING SYSTEM ERROR.
UNIVERSE REQUESTING THE BEING FIX THIS BEFORE IT FIXES IT ITSELF.
THE BEING WOULD NOT LIKE IF UNIVERSE FIX ITSELF.
"OH FOR THE LOVE OF THE LORD CREATOR!"
"Hehehehe."
UNIVERSAL MATRIX CONVERTER CORRUPTED!
THE BEING FIX THIS NOW.
"But that's not possible!" The Being said dumbfounded.
Jack could not hold it back. "Hahahahahaha!"
"JACK!"
THE UNIVERSE SAYS ITS THE BEING'S PROBLEM.
FIX IT NOW.
The Being pulling all sorts of power started to make a stopgap of sorts until it fixes the problem. This will give it a headache trying to figure out what parts of the Universe has been corrupted while utilizing the matrix converter.
But The Being would like a lot if...
"Would you stop laughing!"
"I can-n-nt bre-athe," Jack choked out.
It seems as if Jack prayers has finally been answered.
The Being however was not appreciating the cosmic payback.
"Its NOT funny."
"K-ka-rma is a bitch." Jack replied before busting out laughing again.
TEMPORARY FIX HAS BEEN APPLIED

GAMER HAS LOST THE ABILITY STATUS [Crazed Berserker]
GAMER HAS GAINED THE ABILITY STATUS [Mad as a Hatter]
Now returning to schedule programming
When the Killing Curse hit Bram several things happened at once.
The Universe bitching about it was one.
The Potter's and The Black's Tapestry registered his death, as did the Goblins was the other.
Bram's mindscape and subconscious sorta broke itself was the last one.
Now Bram's mind is special due to the fact it once survived a Killing Curse to the head and was left with housing a unintended Horocrux. He housed such a thing inside of him for five long years. It took five long years for his magic to return with a piece of his soul from going around the insane side of the universe. A piece that the Horocrux seemingly filled its space for a while.
Add in the abuse from the Dursleys and you have the makings of a really messed up mind when the piece returned to him with his magic.
And by returned we mean slammed back into him with the force of a mack truck.
So understandably things happened. Which brings us back to this. Bram's mind after being hit with the second time around.
Its not the same.
The problem that the subconscious didn't want to deal with yet fixed itself. The stain of having to house the Horocrux was wiped out. And the anger that was chained has disappeared. The problem now is that the mindscape has changed and so did the subconscious.
You see the last thing Bram read was Alice in Wonderland and Through the Looking Glass. Which had a small effect on him due to the fact that he could honesty sympathize with Alice. The world as he know it changed, he changed, in fact everything changed. So to read Alice's Adventures in Wonderland and Through the Looking Glass, and see himself in Alice…
When minds cannot handle the strain, they crack.
But when minds stop cracking and break, they latch on to things to reinvent themselves.
The Mad Hatter and Cheshire Cat are his favorite characters you know.
The Horocrux was pleased. It finally killed the only thing threatening its whole self"s reign due to that blasted prophecy. Now they are invincible. All that is left for it to do is taking over the boy's body as its own.
Wait was that giggling its hearing?
It turned around to spot the previously thought dead boy up and giggling.
"How is this possible?!" It yelled. "I killed you!"
Bram's Glasgow grin made a reappearance. "I try to believe in as many as six impossible things before breakfast. Count them, Bram."
"NO! Avada Kedavra!"
"One, I have a name," Bram laughed as he danced out of the way of the curse. It is true. He has a name just for him, made by him.
"Avada Kedavra!"
Bram walked towards the Horocrux."Two, I have Magic."
"Avada Kedavra!"
Bram rolled to the side and skipped forward. "Three, there are beings higher than you and me."
He is talking about the annoying message gods.
"Crucio!"
Dark Lord Voldemort's Accidental Horocrux used the Cruciatus Curse
See them. That's what he is talking about.
"Four, Knowledge is a Power. You should always use it well."
Thank you readable Skill Books. Your gift is always appreciated.
"Avada Kedavra!"
"Five, things are always not as they seem."
Bram is getting closer to the thing. He knows what he can do and he does it well.
"Crucio! Avada Kedavra! Crucio! Avada Kedavra!"
"Six, I can slay Dark Lords." Bram took the last one last curse to the chest. It tingled. He cocked back a fist of Smash and laid into it. A combination of Slash and Smash is what he is good at and that's what he will do.
Slash. Smash. Slash. Smash. Slash. Smash!
Critical Hit!
Critical Hit!
Critical Hit!
Critical Hit!
The Horocrux dazed from the attacks looked at the impossible boy. "What are you?"
"I'm Bram. And I am as Mad as a Hatter, fickle as a Cheshire Cat, and brave as a Alice," he replied. "I am the Raven Dark Moon."
"I, Voldemort was defeated by a crazy halfblood?!"
"Not crazy. I'm Mad." Bram's grin grew terrifying. "And as the Red Queen says…"
Bram primed a Slash.
"Off with your HEAD!"
And off went the head of the Horocrux.
Shimei Kamiru: Holy crap. This chapter was the hardest in writing so far. I kept on having to revise and going back and revise. Hopefully part 3 should be easier but I am not counting on that. The muses are being a bit of a pain.
See ya Thursday...hopefully.
And Review.
