Chapter Three: Books and Shinigami training
~ 6 months later ~
After getting use to Undertakers odd sense of humor, the Shinigami was rather entertaining to watch and someone he could talk to. But Undertaker was still off his rocker, very, very far off of it.
A few days after he had first met the silver-haired man he had taken the cart to communicate with the Shinigami, and Undertaker gave him some information on Shinigami.
Shinigami were known for their bright green eyes and Death Scythe they fought with. They had power that could compare to a Demon, and were able to fight and defend against attacks. The only known weapon to be able to kill a Shinigami was the Death Scythe since they were resilient and could take a beating that a would normally kill a human being.
But since he was the Master of Death and a Demon Undertaker could only guess as to what his abilities would be.
So the Shinigami decided to conduct an experiment.
Apparently Shinigami not only fought with their weapons, but when cut with the Death Scythe something called the Cinematic Record would show the Shinigami information about the person's history and allow them to decide if said person should go to heaven or hell.
And the Undertaker wanted to see if he could wield a Death Scythe.
{Not reincarnation. A second chance!}
"Is this even safe?" Hadrian asked, gazing at the sharp weapon cautiously.
The Undertaker tittered. "Of course!"
He sighed, looking at the axe. It was about twice the size of a normal one and the blade itself was black in color and engraved with the Deathly Hallows sign. The handle was covered in an emerald covering and had a texture to it that made it easier for him to grip. He could feel an odd power coming from it, similar to what Undertaker felt like, and just looking at it he could see that it was powerful.
"Go-ahead and try it out." The Undertaker urged.
He nodded and placed his hands around the hilt and tugged upward and to the side feeling the weapon follow the moment as if it were as light as a feather and easily cut the object beside him in half. He let the weapon drop back the ground when he returned to his normal position and gave the coffin an appreciative look, the axe really was sharp.
Undertaker though, gave a little whimper. "Did you have to destroy the coffin?"
"Sorry." Hadrian apologized.
"Nevermind." Undertaker said, waving his hand. "Let's start training you shall we?"
He blinked and looked at him curiously. "But where's your weapon?"
A wide grin formed on the Shinigami's face and before he could blink a large sliver Death Scythe was suddenly resting in Undertakers palms. "Prepare yourself Lord Death."
Hadrian gaped, awed at the weapon.
In a flash Undertaker approached him, and Hadrian only had a second to bring his axe up to block it before the two weapons collided.

~ 3 months later ~
Madame Red wasn't a fool, true at first she had thought that Hadrian enjoyed going to London, but after countless times of him sneaking back into the house dirty and full of yet-to-heal-wounds she knew something was up.
She knew he was going to Undertaker, she hadn't been anywhere else with him yet, and she knew that Undertaker was an odd fellow, so she could only guess as to what they were doing.
The other thing she did know was that she needed to talk to Hadrian about the book, and tell him what was going on. At first she had kept it to herself, mostly because she wanted to read it first, but it was obvious that he needed to know about it also.
He was the one who would be going through it after all.
So one day she walked up to her son and told him she needed to talk to him. She paused at first, her heart clenching as familiar green eyes set on her form, before shaking out of it and speaking to him.
"I need to talk to you."
He seemed hesitant at first, but nodded, and followed her as she walked toward her room. She was glad that he didn't ask any questions and just silently trailed after her.
Once they got to her room she made sure to close the door before she finally grabbed the book from her table and handing it to Hadrian.
He raised an eyebrow and grabbed the book, eyeing it hesitantly. "What is it?"
Angelia shifted for a moment before sitting elegantly on her bed. "It has information on something that you need to know about."
Her son seemed to understand and he flipped it open to the first page, his eyes scanning the page as he drank in the words.
She waited anxiously; she didn't know how he would react. Perhaps he would think her crazy for having such a book, and actually believing it. And truthfully if she hadn't been through what she had, she wouldn't believe it either, but she had so she did believe every word.
"I see." He said after a moment and turned his green eyes toward her form, analyzing her with the sharp gaze that seemed to pierce into her very soul and analyze it. "So you knew."
The red headed woman blinked, shocked before she recuperated. "Yes… How long did you know?" She asked.
Hadrian sighed and ran a hand through his hair. "I guess you could say it was brought to my attention a year ago."
She nodded. "That long…" Her fingers twisted anxiously. How had Hadrian figured out? Was he already experiencing some of his demonic qualities? It would make sense since he was exceptionally good at fencing; Baron was always able to perceive everything with his sharp eyes, nothing escaping his sight.
"Do you know who he is?" Her son asked, referring to his father.
She nodded. "He told me before he disappeared, but told me only to say it out loud if I absolutely needed him."
Hadrian nodded knowingly. "Can you write it down?"
Angelina paused before grabbing the items she needed. "Make sure not to say it out loud." She said, making quick work of writing it down and handing it toward her son.
He grabbed it and read it, his eyes widening.
"Hadrian?"
He started to chuckle. "I had one of these at my school, so I can't help but wonder if he and Death somehow got together and planned this out for when I died."
She gazed at him curiously. "Death? What are you talking about honey?"
He shook his head. "Never mind." He grabbed the book and flipped a few pages before resting at one. "I am curious about what I'm supposed to eat though…"
Madame Red waited in silence as he read the page; she herself was wondering the same thing. Though she was ready to help him, she still wanted to know about what exactly they would be doing.
"Well." Hadrian said after a moment. "According to this a half-demon needs to eat souls just like a full demon does, but seeing how I'm different I don't know…"
"What do you mean by different?" She asked curiously.
He flicked his gaze toward her for a moment. "You could say I am special, or more special than a half-demon is supposed to be. So I don't really know what I'm going to do."
"I want to help you." She offered, sending him a determined look. "I'm your mother, so I want to help my son go through this."
The young boy nodded, not even trying to argue. "Okay, I take it you know what Death Gods are right?" She nodded. "Well I'm not only part demon but I'm the Master of Death."
Angelina gaped, giving her son a wide-eyed look before catching herself. "How do you know that?" She was certain that Baron wasn't also part Death God, and she knew for certain no one in her family was one either.
"I just do." Hadrian replied. "But the problem is Death god Reap people's souls while Demons eat them, so you see my problem."
She thought for a moment. "How about you eat the souls of the people that you reap?" He visibly perked up. "Of course only eat the ones that are going to be sent to hell, but I don't see why you couldn't not do that."
His green eyes seemed to glow with happiness and she soon found herself engulfed in a hug. "I can't believe I didn't think about that." He murmured into her stomach. "Thank you so much."
She placed her hand on his head gazing at his fiery red hair; people said that his hair resembled hers because they hadn't seen what Baron's actually looked like when he had broken his human form.
A while ago when she and Baron had finally become intimate and tried for a child she had caught a glimpse of his true form through the pleasure. Like most humans when they saw a demons true form her soul had been tainted by just the glimpse, she knew that much, but she already knew she wasn't going to heaven so it didn't really make her shocked.
She had spotted red hair the color of fire that fell down his waist in a straight line, and huge wings sprouting from his back that seemed to be made of burning coals, and were just as warm arching gracefully toward the ceiling.
She didn't know if Hadrian would turn out to be like that, but what she did know was Hadrian truly was the son of red.
{Not Reincarnation. A second chance!}
Hadrian was most definitely shocked when he realized that his mother knew about what he was, but he soon felt relief when he realized he wouldn't have to deal with his Demon side alone.
True his mother was in danger, but it wasn't like she was an evil person, so unless his alter ego liked to go on killing sprees, she would be as safe as one could be when their son was a Demon-Shinigami hybrid.
That reminded him of the name of his father, he didn't know much about Demons, or even Demonology but the name made it pretty clear as to what his father was.
And he didn't know how he should feel about it, because back in Hogwarts Dumbledore had one, and though he doubted that Fawkes was a demon he couldn't help but wonder.
His father's name was Phenex.
It sounded pretty close to Phoenix, so it wasn't odd that he immediately connected it to the bird that he saw when he went into Dumbledore's office. But he didn't think that Dumbledore would have a demon as a pet, and Phenex wasn't even his father back then so the Demon wouldn't have anything to do with him.
He sighed and rubbed his head before flipping the page of the Demonology book he had found in their library. His eyes scanned the page before resting on the name he had been looking for.
Phenex is a Marquis of Hell and has twenty legions of demons under his command. He teaches all wonderful sciences, is an excellent poet and is said to be more obedient then most demons when summoned.
He is depicted as a phoenix, which sings sweet notes with the voice of an angel, but the conjurer must warn his companions not to hear them and ask him to be put into human shape, which he supposedly does after a certain amount of time.
He hummed and looked at the picture of the phoenix on the other page, it certainly looked like Fawkes but then again he was pretty sure all phoenixes' looked the same.
Hadrian wondered if his father being a phoenix would have any effect on what his element would be, but he didn't really know.
Thankfully though, since his mother was a genius, he had figured out a way to eat someone's soul by using the Death God in him.
Now though, he had to wait until half way through his stages until he had an urge to eat someone's soul, he didn't know if he liked the idea. At least though, he would be only eating the 'bad guy's' souls and didn't have to contract someone and wait until their goal was accomplished so he could eat it.
He was thankful to Undertaker for taking the time to teach him about Shinigami, because he really had no clue what he would have done if he didn't know about them.
The only thing he could do now was practice with Undertaker and wait until his first stage began.
