All The Information
After Harry made his choice Vanmoriel took his hand and in a flash, they were in a cosy room with a fireplace. The décor was done in earth tones and it looked so homey that one might never suspect that Death lived there.
"So?" Harry asked.
"I suppose I should tell you everything and since we are in no hurry I shall try to be as detailed as I can. Let's start with how the title Master of Death came to be and why it is rightfully yours.
"In the Ancient time powerful mages existed and Muggles worshipped them like gods. They were so powerful, each in their own way. At the beginning they were kind and they ruled justly, but as they realised that some of the Muggles could do magic – what you call Muggleborn today – they started supressing them and dark roots formed in their hearts. Soon, they were so vain that they lost themselves in it and so they were cursed; Poseidon into the sea, Hades into the Underworld and the rest of them with Zeus as their ruler were banished on Olympus. Only one stayed true to her magic and therefore was not banished and that was Demeter. She even fell in love with a Muggle.
"They had a child named Persephone. Here comes the so-called Myth about her and Hades. It goes like this. Hades watched with his magic what was happening and while doing that he started lusting after Persephone and decided to kidnap her. The myth says that in one of the rare times he left the Underworld, he travelled above ground to pursue her, while she was gathering flowers in a field. She refused him, running to her mother for protection. Hades was angered greatly because he thought that if he said so that she belonged to him.
"Hades, therefore confided his secret in his brother Zeus, asking for help, so the two of them concocted a plan to trap her.
"Demeter went to supervise her bountiful crops. As Persephone engaged in play and with the rest of the group, her attention fell upon the potently fragrant valley nearby and she couldn't take her eyes off the yellow flower narcissus. She called upon her playmates to accompany her, but they couldn't possibly go with her as leaving the side of their water bodies would result in their death. The flower Narcissus was planted there by Gaia, who was following the orders of Zeus. The goal was to enchant Persephone and attract her, away from her guides.
"So, Persephone danced her way to the garden alone and tried to pluck the narcissus from the bosom of Gaia. It drained her energies as the narcissus only came out after a lot of pulling. But suddenly, to her utter fright, she saw the tiny hole from which she had drawn out the flower shaft, began to rapidly grow in size until it started to resemble a mighty enormous chasm. From this came the vigorous galloping sounds of multiple horses and such sudden happenings only froze the frail beauty to her feet. Out of all her friends, only the naiad Cyane tried to rescue the crying Persephone but she was no match for the powerful Hades. Bereaving her friend's kidnap, Cyane melted into a pool of tears and formed the river Cyane at the spot.
"Persephone slipped beneath the Earth and Hades stole her to the Underworld where he made her his wife. It is said that Persephone was very unhappy, but after much time, she came to respect the cold-blooded Hades and lived as happily as she could with him.
"Demeter rushed back to where she had left her daughter and found only the Cyane river there with the other nymphs weeping. Worried as she was, she asked all as to the whereabouts of her beloved daughter.
"Nobody could tell her anything at all and furious that they couldn't protect her child, she cursed all the nymphs into becoming heinous women with plumed bodies and scaly feet, called the sirens. It was only the river Cyane who helped her by washing over the belt of Persephone, indicating that something gravely wrong had happened.
"Demeter went mad and hunted for her daughter everywhere. The myth says that she even disguised herself as an aged lady and with lighted torched in her hands roamed the Earth for nine long days and nine long nights.
"Finally, she met Hecate, the deity of magic, witchcraft, spirits and crossroads, at the dawn of the 10th day whom took pity at her dismal condition and asked her to seek help from the all-seeing Helios, the sun god. Helios told Demeter all about how Hades had dragged Persephone into the underworld.
"Persephone's mother, Demeter, begged Hades to allow Persephone to come back to the livings, denoting that the young Persephone was not supposed to live in the underworld. Hades consulted with Zeus and they both decided to allow Persephone to live on earth for six months each year, while the rest of the time she would be on his side in the Underworld.
"Before leaving the underworld, Persephone had been persuaded to eat four seeds of a pomegranate. In ancient times, to eat the fruit of one's captor meant that one would have to return to that captor or country, so Persephone was doomed to return to the underworld for four months of the year. But she was allowed to spend the remaining two-thirds of the year with her Earth Mother, Demeter.
"The myth of Hades and Persephone is associated with the coming of spring and winter: When Persephone comes to the Earth, its springtime. When she descends to Hades, it is winter," as she said that, she took a deep breath.
"Why was that important?" Harry asked, but Vanmoriel only shushed him.
"Listen to the rest. As two years passed, even those few months that Persephone spent away from her mother became hard for them so they decided to make something that would enable them to talk to each other. As five years pass Demeter managed to make it. It was a small stone, to the untrained eye unimportant. You know what it is today, it is the Resurrection Stone. Indeed the two managed to talk that way and they were happy, but then something happened. Persephone fell pregnant. At the news, Hades appeared uninterested and so Persephone suffered through the pregnancy alone. Soon she gave birth to me. She was pained while giving it but refused to give up on me. And so I became the first person born in the Dead World.
"For a while we were happy. Hades left us alone for a whole of seventeen years, but then he started beating Persephone. And so we made a plan to destroy him and those who condemned us to the misery of the Underworld.
"Persephone kept bringing Hades wine; more and more until he was drunk. He passed out and she stole his cloak and gave it to me so I could freely roam the Earth without Hades finding me. Namely, we have decided to find Champions to defeat them. I roamed the Earth for ten years and then found the solution –The Peverell brothers.
"I explained the problem and they said that they would help if I gave them something that would aid them in their quest and so I did. To the middle one I gave the Stone as I thought that he'd connect the three brothers so they could seek counsel with me as Hades had killed my mother in those ten years that I roamed.
"To the oldest then, I gave my own wand. It was made from the Dementor's bone instead of the wood and as the core, it had Dementor's blood. Then the youngest one came. I gave him the cloak that has protected me that it could protect them."
"Did they do it?" Harry asked while Death stood silently to compose herself.
"In a way. The eldest bragged a lot and so the middle one killed him. Now the second born had two powerful things gifted by myself. He became cocky and went to kill his younger brother so that he could possess all three. He did not succeed. The youngest bother killed him in self-defence and only afterwards was their promise fulfilled. Everyone was dead; all of the so-called gods and then the Creator came. As I have brought Death upon so many he told me that the one to possess the wand would be my Master. I became Death; the one who made sure that the souls went where they were supposed to go," Vanmoriel paused again as if waiting for Harry's question.
"Ok, but what am I supposed to do?"
"I will return your soul into your body, before your fourth year. You will change everything."
"But how?"
"First of all, you will receive a letter which you will give to Albus. After that, you will have exactly a year before your fifteenth birthday. In that time you will have to prevent Voldemort from rising at the end of your fourth year. You will do so by destroying the bones of the father without his knowledge."
"But that won't stop Voldemort!" Harry shouted.
"Calm down!" Vanmoriel hissed at him.
"Fine," he said taking a deep breath.
"It isn't easy to destroy him as you well know. You will be ready after you meet your mates," death stated in a matter-of-fact tone.
"My what?!"
"Your mates. Two of them. You are going back as the Master of Death and on top of that I am gifting you with the inheritance of a Phoenix," she explained.
"At least tell me they are men," the boy said sighing.
"They are, but they are much older than you and it will be hard for them to accept it."
"Am I going back as a submissive?"
"No. You will be the dominant which is more the reason why you will have troubles to convince them that they should be with you."
"Who are they?" Harry asked, trying to remain calm. In all honesty, he was scared. What if he couldn't do it?
"Severus Snape and Lucius Malfoy. After you have them you will know yourself how to proceed. The only other thing I will tell you is that you will have help from Dumbledore to convince them and two other to you surprising people which I won't reveal for you have hem alone," Vanmoriel said calmly.
"Do I have to know anything else?" the young man in front of her asked with a lifted eyebrow.
"No, not really."
"Then when am I getting there?"
"I have to sing a song for that, so you have to be calm and relax. It won't hurt. But it might be a bit disorienting."
"Ok," Harry said, trusting her.
"May it be an evening star
Shines down upon you
May it be when darkness falls
Your heart will be true
You walk a lonely road
Oh! How far you are from home"
The of music and her powerful voice took control of Harry and he could feel himself slowly falling.
"Mornie utulie
Believe and you will find your way
Mornie alantie
A promise lives within you now"
Harry couldn't see a thing but he felt safe so he was calm.
"May it be the shadow's call
Will fly away
May it be your journey on
To light the day
When the night is overcome
You may rise to find the sun"
He then felt the pain that hurt and yet did not. He felt hot.
"Mornie utulie (darkness has come)
Believe and you will find your way
Mornie alantie (darkness has fallen)
A promise lives within you now
A promise lives within you now"
And then he could not feel a thing.
