Prologue
The war against galbatroix has been won, the drake that enslaved has been killed. He looked all around seeing men, elves, dwarves and urgals all celebrating. The new treaty of the addition of dwarves and urgals as dragon riders has been signed with Eragon Shadeslayer as they call him as the leader.
He can still remember when he came to this world saw a man fighting urgals and was losing, like every other time It has happened his 'saving people' thing kicked in and he saved him.
It was from there his journey started in the land of Alagaësia with Brom the storyteller the former dragonrider and he had saved countless others since then, fought and killed more than he ever wanted and made friends no matter how much he tried not to.
Now even though the journey seems to be short compared to the other worlds he have visited he feels the same melancholy and sadness that accompany him whenever he leaves one. As he feels the familiar pull of his magic he prays that maybe this he would allowed to join his family and friends in the afterlife.
As he moves through the void between worlds he recalls when it all the started back when in the aftermath of battle of Hogwarts as he was dozing way in the gryffindor dorm, he felt something lying on top of him. He still remember the chill that went down his spine at seeing the deathly hallows there placed on top one another.
Flashback
He reached with his hand to examine whether they were the real when suddenly a thunderstorm of magic pulled him away somewhere. His whole body screamed in protest and pain far beyond anything the cruciates done to him and suddenly just as it came it went leave him utter peace.
As he opened his eyes he could see a familiar white ceiling, not the one from the infirmary but the one he saw when he died in the forbidden forest when riddles killing curse hit him.
As he looked around searching for the familiar face of Albus Dumbelore he saw something that would've made him shit his pants if he was not feeling the utter calm that this place excluded. There clad in robes as black as the sky holding a familiar scythe he had only heard in stories.
"De..ath" he croaked his mouth suddenly dry.
"Hello master" it's smooth silky voice that could not be distinced between male or female.
"Master, why are you calling me master ?" even though his brain knew the answer his heart was holding out hope that all of this was one big mistake and he could just go back from where he came.
"Because that is who you are now, when you united the deathly hallows you became as is was said the Master of Death" in the same monotone it spoke before.
"This is all just a mistake I mean why me, it wouldn't just me who united it first, people should done this before right" he protested trying to deny this from happening.
"No you are not the first person to join the deathly hallows but you were destined to be the master of death even before the hallows were created" said death as explaining the day's weather.
"What does it mean being the master of death, do I have any responsibilities ?" trying to ask questions that didn't offend death in any way.
"Good question master, you do not have anything in dealing with the death of anyone. Being the master of death essentially makes you my champion as you were fate's champion in this world."
it explained making the pit in stomach deeper and deeper
"Death's champion, what does that mean ? am I some sort of grim reaper going around killing people doing your bidding" I cried hysterically.
"No master your destiny is to become to bring balnce in the universe by fighting the dark and eliminating the ones that tries to escape my clutches here and numerous other worlds" it said not at all non pulsed by my outburst.
"Worlds what do you mean by that ? and how I am supposed to achieve all that and what if I don't want to" I said thinking about ways I could escape from this situation.
"There are numerous worlds out there beyond your world that are similar and different in so many ways and has their own evils which may spill into others if not properly contained. You may choose to not do this but ask yourself this, if you return today can you find peace, how many times have you try to escape the path set out for you for if you just thought for a moment you would understand that it is your choice that determines the journey. Try and embrace it or hate will be all that remain, talking of the choice of returning as master of death you are now essentially immortal can you watch while the people you love grow old and die" death's words were ringing in my head and he realised that they were true no matter how much he wanted he couldn't leave the fate of so many lives in peril when he could do something about it.
But the one word that made his thoughts pause was this"Immortal, does that mean I won't ever die that I won't ever get to see my parents" I said dreading even thinking about it.
"Everything that has a beginning has an end so no immortal does not mean that you will not die but you will not age past your prime and your end is something you have discover on your own and nothing other than you yourself can cause it" the words gave me a sigh of relief but also made me angry that he was keeping things about me from me. As I was about to retort he continued "It is not that I want to torment you but saying how to do it will cause more harm than good" he monotoned.
Taking a moment to think about the situation he understood that going on this interdimensional escapade was gonna a suicide even it seems like his death was'nt gonna be anytime soon. He also understood that he need to learn a lot be a lot more prepared if he was to fight against any evil but even then how was a stranger like him supposed to do anything worth, coming from an outside world.
"You don't need to worry much about that, the deathly hallows are now a part of your magic and all its capabilities you can control in a mere thought. The wand and the soul shard that resided in your scar also has a hord of knowledge that you only need to practice. When you return your magical core will be pristine condition as it should've been, have the soul shard and malnutrition hadn't been there. You also don't have have to go now you will have atleast eleven years before it starts, use that time to prepare for the future battles and settle affairs." death said in more gentleness than I expected.
Finally I decided that running and facing problems head on without thinking has only made things worse if I have to go on facing merlin knows what and were I'm gonna make sure i help as many people I can.
flashback end
Now opening my I see the familiar whit surrounding the bridge between the living and dead, and standing there in the same outfit that I've seen countless times was death itself. The sadness and loneliness was suddenly replacing by anger and my magic responded to my fury as a huge pulse of pure magic ran through the surroundings as a sort of maelstrom.But death appeared non pulsed as if nothing was amiss.
"Like I said countless time your fate is written by you, you choices and decisions shape your life and even your death is something you have to decide" death said as if explaining to a child.
"Then take me I have lived longer than anyone should, milleniua even a eon it has been since this started but still you still give me same answer and nothing has changed" I shouted and suddenly my anger melted away leaving only despair as my knees gave out and I sobbed.
Suddenly I felt a hand on my shoulder as i looked up death was benting down looking me in the eye and said "You have a lived long time for a human but still does not understand many things but know when you find the key to your death don't make too haste to end it" death's words had this underlying request that made me wanna bow my head in shame.
As my magic calmed down, my thoughts cleared and I could see that I was making a difference that if I was not there a lot of people in these would've died. As I thought about about my breakdown I realised that that it was the same as the last five times though not as bad as before. Steeling myself I asked "Which world am I going next? " hoping beyond belief that he could find the answer there.
Death looked at me for a moment as if evaluating me and explained "You're going to middle Earth. It is a world built of magic by powerful beings that the people of this world consider god's, there are elves who they think are immortal. There are also men and dwarves, the so called god's of this world have direct contact with the creater which is something unique about this world."
"The creater intervened directly, well that's not something you see everyday. So who is the problem here" knowing that probably one of the so called god's would've been the problem having seen it before in more than one world.
"One of the gods melkor betrayed the others, he was the most powerful and created countless beasts to try to conquer and rule the world" hearing it made me realise that it was the typical story of bad guy wanting more power and rule everything or destroy the things that he couldn't rule. "The valar as they called them managed to defeat him and imprisoned him in the void, but he is gathering strength and will return sooner than they expect"
Fighting a supposed god who single handedly fought all the others seems foolish but it wasn't something he hadn't done before but waiting for him to strike was not something he is use to."How much time do I have before he returns, and what else should I know of the people of this world?"
"His return was prophesized but your entry creates unbalance in many places and balance in certain other places so nothing is decisive. Concerning what you need to know before you go always remember your death is in your hands" and then death placed his hand on my forehead and pushed through the void between worlds and I went screaming Death...!
