Harriet: From Solitude to Slayers

Chapter 1: The Arrival and the Discovery

After the war against Voldemort, Harry felt lost in a world she no longer recognized. Memories of loss, betrayal, and Dumbledore's manipulation haunted her. She had always been the "savior," but at what cost? The pain of her friends' betrayal, who chose to remain blind to Dumbledore's machinations, weighed heavily on her shoulders. She felt the need to escape, not only to protect her adopted son, Teddy, but also to rediscover herself.

One day, while searching the archives of Gringotts during a blood test, she uncovered forgotten secrets about her heritage as the Master of Death. This revelation filled her with a mixture of awe and fear. She realized that she had the power to navigate between worlds and explore realities beyond comprehension.

"This is my chance," she whispered to Teddy, who was innocently playing with a small stone. "A chance to start over."

One night, while meditating on her past, Harry was visited by Death itself, the entity that granted her powers. In a flash of shadow, it appeared, majestic and imposing.

"Harry, as the Master of Death, you have the ability to choose your destiny. You can leave this world and explore other realities."

Intrigued and moved, Harry realized that her pain and anger could be tools to create something new. She wondered if, in this world, she could find peace and a place where Teddy could grow up safely.

"I want to go somewhere we can be free," she declared with determination.

Death then offered her a portal to the universe of Kimetsu no Yaiba, a place where heroes fought for the light against invisible threats lurking in the shadows.

"Take care of your son, Harry. Your strength and wisdom will be tested here, but this world needs you," Death said before opening a shimmering portal.

Harry, holding Teddy's hand, stepped through the portal with renewed resolve. A shiver ran through her body as they crossed to the other side, leaving the weight of their past behind. Entering this new universe, she knew she had chosen this path to reinvent herself, but also to protect Teddy from the suffering she had endured.

The wind blew softly as they found themselves in a wild and picturesque landscape, with majestic mountains and dense forests. Harry held tightly to Teddy's hand as they explored their new surroundings. Each step took them further away from the memories of the war, but at the same time, the uncertainty of the future weighed on her.

I have to make sure Teddy is safe here, she thought, her gaze fixed on her adopted son, whose eyes sparkled with wonder. "Look, Teddy! It's amazing here, isn't it?"

"Yes, Mom! There's so much to see!" Teddy exclaimed, his eyes gleaming with excitement.

However, Harry couldn't help but feel a sense of unease. Teddy wasn't a demon, but his Metamorphmagus abilities and his wolf-like eyes, which became particularly striking during strong emotions, could be easily misunderstood.

I have to be careful, she thought. I can't let others see us as a threat.

Determined to train herself to face the dangers that might arise, she knew it was also crucial to find a sword. That became her primary objective. During her visits to the surrounding villages for necessary supplies, she interacted politely with the villagers but kept her distance, observing with discreet caution.

On her first visit to a village, she entered a small shop to buy provisions. The shop was filled with fresh vegetables, colorful fruits, and various household items. The shopkeeper, a middle-aged woman with a warm smile, looked at her with curiosity.

"Hello, young lady! I've never seen you around before. Where are you from?" she asked as she arranged some apples on the counter.

"I'm just passing through," Harry replied, trying to stay vague but polite. "I'm looking for supplies for me and my son."

"Oh, what a charming little boy! He looks a lot like you," the woman observed, glancing at Teddy, who was playing with a small wooden figurine.

Harry smiled faintly. "Thank you."

She bought some vegetables and bread, then headed for the door. Before leaving, the woman added, "If you need help, don't hesitate to ask. We're all here to help each other."

Harry nodded, touched by the kindness of the villagers, but she knew it was best to keep her distance. She couldn't afford to get too attached.

Days passed, and Harry regularly went to the village for supplies. She observed from afar, trying to understand the dynamics of this community. One day, a strong, burly man, the village blacksmith, called out to her as she left the shop.

"You're new here, aren't you?" he asked in a deep voice.

Harry turned, surprised by his directness. "Yes, I just arrived."

"You seem capable. If you ever need a weapon or training, feel free to come to me. I'm one of the best blacksmiths in the region."

"Thank you, but I prefer to train on my own for now," she replied, maintaining a certain distance.

Determined to obtain a sword, Harry sought out a renowned blacksmith known for crafting high-quality weapons. That became her focus. One afternoon, she ventured to the forge, a place filled with tools, hot metal, and the smell of fire. She watched the blacksmith, a rugged man with a weathered face, skillfully hammering metal.

"Hello, I'm looking for a sword," she announced in a clear voice, though her heart raced.

The blacksmith looked up, intrigued. "You seem capable, but you'll have to prove you're worthy of the weapon."

Harry nodded. "I'm ready to train."

She trained alone in a secluded area, using every moment to sharpen her skills. Teddy, worried but admiring, watched her from a distance, always present but keeping his distance. He was her priority and her strength.

"Mom, can I help you?" he asked timidly one day as she practiced her movements.

"You're already a big help just by being here with me, Teddy," she replied, kneeling down to look him in the eyes. "But stay back while I train, okay?"

"Okay," Teddy agreed, a little disappointed but understanding that his safety was paramount.

Harry gradually integrated into the village, though she always kept a certain reserve. The villagers were friendly, but she knew she had to remain cautious. Rumors about a mysterious woman with strange abilities circulated, and though they didn't believe in demons, Harry felt curious eyes on her every time she passed.

As she continued her training, a growing worry gnawed at her. The need to create a safe space for Teddy became increasingly urgent. She knew that not only did she need a sword to defend herself, but she also needed a sanctuary.

I'll have to find a place where we can be safe, away from misunderstandings, she thought. A place where we can live in peace.

Thus, Harry's determination grew day by day, and with Teddy by her side, she was ready to face whatever this new world had to offer.
