I will be continuing that however I had gotten the idea for this fanfiction and I couldn't Get it Out of My Head no matter how many times I tried to continue the other one fic. But don't worry I will be going back to it.
Death, choice
Looking through the eyes of one of my seekers I couldn't help but growl at the site before me, my gift...my first..living..breathing human gift dead. Growling again I threw the child's hour glass across the room shattering it on one of the black stone pillars aligned with stars on it.
"NO! This cannot be he was not meant to die! That's stupid old goat how dare he place that child there! He knew... He just had to of known this would happen!" I say while taking deep breaths trying to calm my anger. Grunting I turn and walk through the silken curtains of my chamber and down the long corridors of time and memories, hearing the tiktok of each clock that belongs to time. Each one of these clocks represents either a person a creature a plant or even a planet maybe even a realm I can't be bothered to remember. Stopping outside the hall of gods and goddesses I take a deep breath and look at my appearance in the solid gold doors. I'm small for a goddess with a very lean body. My skin is a very pale nightshade colour with white freckles scattered along my entire body. You could only see half of my face for my eyes were covered by the shell like crown on my head with branches that twirled around each curl of my hair that never stuck up or out making it the perfect example of perfection. My dress was in Midnight Blue with blue and white Sapphires embroidered across my dress like stars in the midnight Sky speaking of which my dress had a mind of its own so sometimes it was a dress and sometimes it was a shirt, pants and heels my outfit could change at any moment and time but me and the other gods and goddesses have grown used to my outfit changing at random times.
Taking one final deep breath, I stepped into the Grand Hall. As I looked around, I noticed all the gods and goddesses here, including those from Rome, Egypt, Middle Earth, and many more from all over the world. Seeing time and fate conversing, I slowly walk towards them. As I walk two gods stride beside me hades being on my left and death himself on my right, two gods same objective death.. I chuckle to myself. "I see the other gods of death are still upset with me." The two gods in question chuckle at what I said as death spoke. "That my dear gift would be an understatement after all thay weren't too fond of your little prank on them... However I was more surprised when you left myself and Hades out of that little prank of yours." I blush profusely as I slowly turned my head towards him and say. "Well you and Hades were 10 minutes late and everyone else was about to leave soooo." Both Hades and death covered their mouths to try to silence their laughter. Becoming more serious I turned to Hades. "You two know don't you?" I question them seeing them quickly sober up from their laughter and give me saddened looks. I knew they had seen it as well.
"Ahhhh.. Gift. Hades and death it's lovely to see you three again. It's been a while hasn't it?" said Time as we finally stopped in front of him and Fate. "Narely 12 years after the creation of my first human... That is actually why I've come to talk to you this evening time." I replied as I took Two Steps closer to him as I was the one addressing him. However before I could speak again death took over. "Her gift has been killed before his time." When death said this all the gods and goddesses stopped talking at once. It was Gaia mother earth that spoke next. "What...ha..how?" It was Hades turn to respond. "Albus Dumbledore... Convinced the Potter's to send their son to the Dursley family so they could concentrate on their precious Boy Who Lived...he..he only had one more day to go and would have gotten his Hogwarts letter and he would have been safe... But." he lowered his head as a sign to show what he meant.
I lifted my head high as I spoke. "That's why I came here today to request for my gift to be brought here to receive training in the timeline's of his choosing... Then when it's all done have him sent back two days before he was killed." Before Time could answer me Loki stepped forward and spoke first. "And what do you expect to happen when you send him back to his old life.. He'll just be killed again... His training in the other timelines wouldn't affect his original physical body." turning my head to Loki and giving him a toothy grin. "That's why my dear Loki.. I plan to give him gifts from not only myself but from a select few of the fellow gods and goddesses here.. To help them in his life." before anyone could speak I quickly raised my hand stopping them from protesting as I continued. "I've looked into my gifts life and over the years with him suffering nothing but pain... And with him doing no wrong in his life... He has gained many wishes to Grant and I plan to get him to use as many of them as he can." Hearing me say that the gods and goddesses began to talk among themselves before quieting down for time to decide his final verdict.
With a heavy sigh time looked at me before speaking. "Very well.. It shall be done. Death bring the child here." Turning around to look at death I see him materializeing back with a small child holding his arm. It's him. You couldn't even tell that the child had just recently died with his short messy black hair, his bright emerald green eyes with horrible looking glasses upon his face. He had very pale skin and he's so small. My precious gift... No.. My child the very first of his kind that I had made. I give him a gentle smile as I kneel down before him. "Hello there... What's your name young one?" the child looked up at me fear clear in his eyes however he still answered. "I don't know ma'am...m..my auntie and uncle sometimes call me freak... Or monster... Sometimes they just called me boy or it or thing. I don't know my name... But the snakes in my auntie's garden some times called me hatchling or snakeling." He spoke with such a small voice at first however the moment the subject of snakes came up he seemed to slowly brighten up and began to have a small smile tug at his lips.
"Well for now how about we give you a name that means snake?" I asked him and my grin grew as the little boy nodded his head as fast as he could. "How about Nag... No okay hmm.. Serpa... No as well okay okay hmm... Oh I think I've got the perfect one what about Zmok." and with that the child gave me a beaming smile nodding at the name all the rest of the gods and goddesses couldn't help but chuckle at the child's antics. It made me happy to see that even though he'd suffered nothing but pain that his heart was still pure and he still had the childish side of every child. "Gift one of my creatures have set up a room for you not far from your chambers... For the child to choose what timelines he want to go to and what he will look like in each one." as time spoke I opened my arms for Zmok and he graciously climbed into my arms as I slowly stood up. Turning to time I noticed one of times creatures standing beside me and lead me out of the Grand Hall and to the very room time spoke of.
Finally stopping not even two doors away from my Chambers the creature opened the door as I stepped inside of the room with the child in my arms I couldn't help but notice and revel in the room time had outdone himself yet again. The room itself was almost pale white you couldn't even see the pillars unless you turned a certain angle, on the Ceiling was a circle with the colors blue and violet, looking onto the ground there were gold ruins everywhere leading up to the very center of the room which formed a big circle. "Right Zmok it's you who needs to go and center of the room not I but don't worry I'll be here for you." as I say this I put him down on his own two feet and step back to see what he does.
Zmok POV
I slowly stepped away from the magnificent creature in front of me and turned to the center of the room. I wasn't quite sure if she could see it but there in the center was a glowing sphere that seemed to sparkle every time it turned. Assuming that is my goal I walked towards it and have it glow even Brighter every time I Step Closer stopping right in front of it I turned back to gift. "It's ok I'll be right here." she says as she gives me a thumbs up. Turning back to the Sphere I slowly reach out my right hand and touch the glowing Sphere only for it to shrink in size and then explode into bright colors. It took a long moment for the bright lights to settle and for the colors to rearrange but finally I could see what I was supposed to do standard, in front of me were many doors listed by name and time. "Now Zmok we can do this in two ways one you can pick as many as you want in order and every time when you pass away and one life in one time line you start a new life in the new timeline.. Or you can pick one timeline now and each time you come back after picking a timeline that door will disappear and any of our doors that match the timeline of the previous door will disappear also... Do you understand?" she explains and asks as she slowly joins me in the center of the room.
I slowly look at each door some of them look brand new and some of them were made of stone so they must be the oldest. "Well I know I don't want to be a caveman or be with us dinosaurs again no thank you." after saying that gift clicked her fingers and the stone doors were gone. Look at each door again those many wooden doors hold together by string and that made me wonder what timeline did time himself look over. "Gift what world does time look over?" I turn to her as I ask her this. She chuckles before kneeling down on the ground beside me. "Well dear child if you must know then you must know times true God's name is... His name is Akatosh the dragon god of time in the World he mostly looked upon was Skyrim this door right here that of the age of Dragonborn." as she explained this I slowly walked towards the door before turning back to gift while rubbing and twisting my fingers trying to figure out how to ask her if I could choose this door. However seeing what I was trying to do gift merely just waived a hand towards the door while giving me a reassuring smile.
However before opening the door I asked her a question. "Gift is there a way to link all the Worlds together..not like make a big world with all these doors but like maybe able to be all the races... creatures I mean and have the special abilities?" I asked turning back to her. Gift seemed very surprised at my request however she still answered my question. "Well technically no there's no way for that to happen it would cause a Rift in the Worlds... However instead of linking the world together to give you what you desire you could use one of your wishes... Do you wish for this?" she asks me with a seamanly serious look. I turn away and look at the door and then at the others surrounding us before making up my mind. "Yes but I want to design the way I look as well.. I know I will have many creatures blood in me but I don't know. I'll figure it out when I design it. Can you give me all the materials, powers and stuff I want to make a networking system for it.. What?" I say as I noticed she is staring at me with a smile. "Like a spider web?" I nod at her example then with the click of her fingers the doors had temporarily disappeared as a carbon copy of me materialized in the center of the room and all across the walls were all the materials I would need to design my new body for all the Worlds.
I don't know how long had passed but we had finally finished with each one of my forms for each world that might go to. All my forms looked fairly similar except for a few differences here and there however what made them look the same was my delicate pale pinkish white skin, my body was very lean and had soft delicate curves that made me look very feminine. In fact looking at my new body all together I looked very much like a girl except I was male, I had soft delicate features as well as having a heart shape face, my nose was small but not in an obvious way that made my face looked deform, my eyes were large but not in an obvious way they were still emerald green however they had flexes of other colors as well being red, black, dark and light blue, violet, silver and finally gold you could barely notice them unless you looked fairly closely all the colours came together quite well with my long delicate lashes. My hair was no longer short and messy as if it was a bird's nest instead my hair nearly reached the base of my lower back in gentle waves and curls the color was still black I love that colour however you could see in the light that it had some shades of dark red and brown then finally at the tips of my hair were some shades of white , my eyebrows were still only black and were thin in a lovely way and finally my height instead of being the hight of a nine-year-old instead of an 11 year old my new form was even smaller it locked as though I was seven instead of 11 years of age all in all I was very pleased with my form in this was only the base for all my forms in each world.
While designing my forms for each world even if I didn't go to some of them, I had told gift I had wanted to choose one at a time. When I choose one timeline I want to die in that timeline first before choosing the next one. Gift had looked at me for a long moment before giving me a gentle smile and telling me it was my choice to make and whatever I chose she would support it. While me and Gift were designing the system for my powers we had agreed that with how large my magical core was already that it was probably best for me to only have a select few magical powers for the time being and have the rest of my Power's form over time. For the time being the main powers I would have in this form first is the magic I was born with and my race Power's and 5 powers of my choosing as well as a few selective skills.
Me and gift were admiring our handy work we had finally finished. I had decided first to go to Skyrim obviously and I was quite pleased with the form for this world. My forms base was the same for all of my forms however I had slight pointed ears to represent the elf blood that I had, I also had another pair of ears on top of my head as well as a long tail coming out of the base of my back which matched the colours of my hair to represent the Khajiit blood I have, my skin although the same color as my base form was thick to represent the Breton blood I have and finally around my neck and across my thumbs to my wrists and across my feet around my ankles and slightly up my legs were black scales to represent the Argonian blood I have I also had slightly Sharp canines which I wasn't sure if it was supposed to represent the orc blood I have. We really didn't make any plans for the skills because I wanted to learn what I can in the world itself however gift did let me keep the skills I already had which were cooking and baking, gardening which also meant I was able to tell if something was poisonous or not poisonous and if they can be used for medicine, designing clothes and for the final two skills were art and taking care of different creatures. My Magical abilities where a different matter I had the blood of all the races in Skyrim which meant I had the magical abilities of all the races.

Turning to gift I give her a beaming smile. "It's done! Thank you so much gift." as I say this my form slowly changes to the Skyrim form I have created with gift however before I could walk through the door for Skyrim gifts stopped me. "Wait a minute Zmok the other gods and goddesses have a few gifts for you... Nothing that's meant for your original World just for this world well these gifts can go with you in all the Worlds... I also need to explain two more things before you go to Skyrim." she explains as she holds my hand and leads me through the corridors of time. Taking a deep breath she speaks. "Before you go to Skyrim you must know your form won't be that of any other in Skyrim you'll be the only one of your kind... Also you'll be an orphan which means you will have no last name until you are adopted... Which leads to our next point the name we have given you when you are here is that on itself is for when you are here and not in your other worlds so you must think of a name for Skyrim.. time will ask you what your new name is before you go to Skyrim. Do you understand?" I nod my head in understanding.
My tail was swishing side to side before I realized I hadn't put any clothes on my new form. Looking down quickly I noticed I was in rags which looked awfully like a potato sack as well as having bandages on my feet that were supposed to be like shoes. I look up to gift questionsly and she chuckled at my expression. "I see you realize you're wearing rags... Well when you go into Skyrim you'll be transported as a prisoner for execution... You won't die though don't worry.. You will be a child Dragonborn and you'll be sitting beside Akatosh's chosen Dragonborn. I say he'll probably be around about late 20s in age and his name is Kechan Jarrakas and his race is a Nord...you must stay by his side even if he tries to leave you behind. Understood" I nodded my head in agreement to what she had stated.
All of a sudden the doors to the Grand Hall opened in a big swush. Looking around I see all the goddesses and gods will look at those as we slowly walk towards Akatosh and 8 others who were standing in front of him with creatures either beside them or on them. Me and gift had finally made it up to the front when we finally stopped in front of Akatosh and the eight that's stood in front of him. Who looked me up and down with approval in Their Eyes when finally Akatosh spoke. "Zmok. Gift. I see you are finely finished I approved this look.. Gift has probably informed you why you are here my friends and I are here to give you gifts before you head to Skyrim.. However I have already given you my gift by making you a second Dragonborn." I was beaming at the complement and approval he just bestowed upon me however I also nodded my head at the part about what gift had said and the fact he had made me a second Dragonborn. Akatosh lifted one of his clawed hands and gestured to each of the eight people who stood in front of him as he spoke their names. "Zmok skyrim has nine gods and goddesses myself being one of them however the other eight are here in front of me. This is Arkay God of the Cycle of Life and Death and Mortals burials and funeral rites, there's Dibella Goddess of Beauty and Love, there's also Julianos God of Wisdom and Logic, Kynareth Goddess of Air, Wind, Sky and the Elements, Mara Goddess of Love and compassion, the Mother Goddess, Stendarr God of Compassion, Mercy, Justice, charity, luck and righteous rule by might and merciful forbearance, Talos Hero-god of Mankind, conqueror God, God of Might, Honor, State, Law and Man and finally this is Zenithar God of Work and Commoners, Trader God." as he said each name ever a hand was lifted in the air slightly or one of them nodded their heads.
When Akatosh was done introducing the other eight one by one stepped towards me with their gifts. First to step forward was Arkay with a largeish bird on his right shoulder. "This my dear zmok is a shadow Crow from your original World, these birds often represent death nightmare and destruction however when it forms a Bond with someone they will protect them furiously and even stop their nightmares from taking over this is my gift to you." when he was finally done speaking he lifted his right arm towards me and the shadow Crow slowly walked across his arm and looked at me expectantly, I wasn't quite sure what I was meant to do however looking at the shadow crow I couldn't help but noticed that even though it looked like a normal Crow some of its feathers look like mist and its eyes were pitch black. I lifted my left arm towards the Crow to attempt to stroke it instead the crow gently nipped my fingers and jumped on my arm and moved towards my shoulder and got himself comfortable at the crook of my neck.
Then it was Dibella who step forward next she kneeled to the ground in front of me with the creature lying down beside her as she spoke. "Zmok this is my gift to you. This creature is also from your home world and is known as a night Panther. This creature is often mistaken as a relative to the shadow crow and in some ways they are similar they both can melt into the shadows and travel wherever they want to go as long as there's somewhere dark, however what makes them different is where the shadow crow can block nightmares they cannot enter the mind the night panther however can enter your nightmares and change them to whatever you desire when they are your familiar." I lowered myself to my knees and reached out my right hand for the Panther. Seeing my hand raised the panther slowly shimmied its way towards me and let me rub its head as it moved move beside me and curled its body around my legs. Looking at the night panther I couldn't help but notice its fur was not only black but a mixture of blues and purples as well with tiny little white dots scattered along its back, legs and feet as though they were covered in stars and its eyes were crystal blue almost like ice.
I looked up to see Dibella stepping back in line with the other eight as Julianos stepped forward and kneeled down in front of me as I had not moved from the Panthers side. The Crow however flew off my shoulder and landed on the Panthers back and settled down to wait. "This is my gift to you Zmok. Seeing that your other familiars are also from your home world I can only conclude that all your Familiars to come are from your old world. My Gift is a moon owl a rare and delicate creature who represents Wisdom and beauty." once he was done speaking the owl didn't hesitate flying down and landing in my lap and gazed up at me with knowing eyes. The Owls eyes were a mixture of silver and blue making its eyes look as though they were filled with knowledge. The Owls feathers were mostly pure white with a scarred amount of silver feathers which separated it from the normal snowy owls you often see.
The owl seeing Kynareth walking towards us had quickly flew up and landed on my head nestling down as though I was its hatchling. Kynareth giggled at the site the owl made before speaking. "Zmok my gift to you is this basilisk egg not yet hatched." Looking at what the goddess had in her hands was a largeish egg with small spikes sticking out of it leading up as though it was a porcupine. The coloration of the egg was a mixture of red, green and black with orange dots along the top of the egg and some on the bottom. I lifted my hand to go and grab it however the goddess stopped me and began to lift up my shirt well rag of a shirt and started to wrap bandages along my stomach and chest and then began to wrap the egg along my lower stomach before she could finish wrapping the bandages Mara quickly stepped forward and handed it to the other goddess her egg. This egg was a little larger than the basilisk egg it had different types of feathers sticking out of it as well as a scale-ish look to it the colours arranged from bloodshot red a lighter version of the red, orange and yellow as though it was made out of Fire there was even some flex of gold along the tips where the feathers were sticking out of. "This is my gift to you it is a hybrid dragon Phoenix egg I hope it serves you well." Mara says as she helps Kynareth to arrange the two eggs on my stomach to look as though there's nothing there. "Why are you putting the eggs on my stomach for?" I asked them with curiosity on my face however it was time who answered. "Because young one dragons will be seen as enemies in Skyrim and the basilisk doesn't exist in that world however I have tweaked the history of the world to at least know of the basilisk." and nodded my head as Mara and Kynareth finished bandaging the two eggs against my stomach and lowered my rags over the eggs luckily the sack of a rag helped hide the two eggs even more.
Stendarr stepped forward after Mara and Kynareth stepped back in line with the others. Stendarr however did not kneel down in front of me as he spoke. "This Zmok is a white lion which is also a magical creature and its powas is to be able to see into the past and the future which is the same as one of your moon owl's gifts... Oh by the way the lion is male, the Crow is also male. I don't know about the two eggs so you have to wait and see for when they are hatched however your owl is female, and your panther is also female... Just thought you would like to know since the other gods and goddesses seemed to have forgotten to mention their gender." he said with a wink of his right eye which made me giggle at the groans and grunts of other gods and goddesses that were behind him probably realizing that they had forgotten to mention the creatures gender. "Thank you." I said with a beaming smile as the pure white lion sat beside me on my left opposite from the night Panther. The lion's fur was pure white not a flaw anywhere his eyes however were two different colors his left eye was a ruby red and his right was such a pale blue that it almost looked white.
Talos and Zenithar both stepped forward together thanks to the two creatures that refused to be separated however it was much more confusing than that when the two gods spoke at the exact same time as each other. "Zmok this is our gift to you an elemental wolf and rabbit. The wolf is a male fire and wind elemental, and the rabbit is a female water and earth elemental. We hope this will help you with your elemental powers." After speaking they both bowed in front of me and then retreated back to the other gods and goddesses. The wolf stepped closer to me with the rabbit on his back. The wolf was a blackish orange colour most likely to represent the fire element that he can control his eyes however there were also two different colours his left eye was a Golden Orange and his right eye was a silver Blue. The rabbit was a whitish blue colour obviously to represent the water element she can control her eyes however were the exact same as the wolfs eyes except the opposite her left eye was a silver Blue and her right eye was a Golden Orange color.
It was a long moment Before Time got up and walk towards me and spoke. "Zmok I assume gift did tell you that you will need a new name for Skyrim?" I look up at time taking in a deep breath before speaking. "Yes and I thought of a name for myself... However can I also announce the names of the Familiars that are here now.. not including the egg familiars?" I ask him as the lion helped me get to my feet. It was a struggle considering the two eggs strapped to my stomach. Time looked at me for a very long moment before nodding his consent to announce not only my name but also the names of my few familiars. "My new name is Amara and will be known to be four races in Skyrim the four being Breton, Khajiit, Argonian and Dark Elve. The names of my six familias that are not in eggs will be Shadow for shadow Crow, Starlight for the night Panther, Hedwig for the moon owl, Adivaki for the Lion Who sees the past and future, Apollo for the elemental wolf and finally Talia for the elemental rabbit. These are our names and I accept my new companions as not only gifts but also as my true familias. Thank you the nine of Skyrim." The nine of Skyrim were all shocked at how I announced mine am I familiar's names. Quickly shaking his head time lowerd his dragon head to me before saying alongside the other nine at the same time. "Wellcome Amara the second Dragonborn. We the nine of Skyrim are here to bless you and your familiars on your journey to, through and from Skyrim." With their final words each one of the nine lifted one of their hands up towards me and each one of their hands began to glow. Then the floor began to glow as a wooden door held together by metal slowly raised up from the ground in between me and the nine. Taking one last look at gift who gave me a reassuring smile I opened the door and stepped through only for everything to go black.
