Shadow of Time

Chapter One

With his magic bag full of gold, Harry left Gringotts, happy to give the goblins a treat by giving them back everything they had created, and a little more.

Thank God the bag was bewitched, he would probably need several trucks now, Harry thought as he smiled with relief, and with a loud bang, he apparated back to his house, unaware that someone was watching him.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Death just finished her black Tea, as Harry barged in, throwing his bag at the ground to greet his Familiars with Hugs 'n Kisses, then he turned with a big smile to her.
"I am Back, Death! How is it going? The List already finished?"

She gave a nod, and showed the sheet to him: "So. Sadly we have only two to choose from since I had to exclude those where you already existed. The first one is built like the Medieval times: Wizards are rare, and there do exist different Species, like Elves, Dwarves, Orcs, Hobbits, etc. There is one War brewing that could destroy everything, however, Fate assured me that the Dark Lord will be fully destroyed by a Hobbit, and afterward, there won't be much."

"And the second one?"

"The second one is full of Chaos. Every Week there is somewhere in the Universe someone who wants to destroy the world, and Many Heroes and Villains die and get resurrected on a daily basis. This World is really corrupted, and many innocent get forced into the role of the bad guy, while at least forty-two percent of the Heroes have some mental disorders like PTSD or/and were once a Villain in their Past. There also turn up Aliens from time to time, and around fourteen percent are Mutants, from witch only around seven Percent survive their teenage days, and 0, 2 percent become crooks. Not really as Peaceful as you wish, but is definitely not Boring." meant death, and was surprised to see Harry grinning at that one.
"Yeah, I will take the second. Sounds like I can mess a lot up, and to be honest, I love it to be an asshole!"

At that, she shook her head and laughed, then smiled brightly."Well, then I will have to Thank you. My Lover lives there, and thanks to you, I will be able to see him more often!"

"You know, I will have to have 'The Talk' with him, right?" asked Harry playfully and wiggled his Eyebrows, and Death giggled at that. Since Day one, it seemed, they have been like Siblings. Even though he is her Master, and she calls him that way, he was more like a Brother. Her most favorite Brother so far.

Harry smiled at her laugh and turned to the closed door. "Someone tries to walk past my wards. We should hurry."
Lady Death bowed her head respectfully at that. "Let me do it."

Dark and ominously her magic rushed through the house and packed everything that wasn't nailed down into the enchanted suitcases, so that later there wasn't even any furniture left, and everything was barren and empty.

There were three big suitcases, and when Harry lifted them up, he was grateful once again that magic existed, otherwise he would really have had a problem.

"So, are you ready to move, Master?"

Harry looked around, that gave her a nod."Yeah. I think I am. Let's go, the wards are going down!"

With a swift movement, his trunks were shrunken and in his pocket, Melody wrapped around his shoulders, and Jupiter at his Side, as death took his hand, and they teleported away, just as the door burst open and the Stranger went in.

But they have been too late, and Harry was gone.
He would never come back again.

The first thing Harry realized, was, that it was warm. The Energies of the Twin Eearth that was now his Home, welcomed him greatful for his existence, though it tastedbitter on the tongue. This Planet was dying, like his original World was, and here too, no one did enough to prevent it.
The Master of Death sighed, as he looked around, standing in the middle of a Big City, in front of an Airport.
"Death?" he whispered."Could you do me a favor?"
"Of course, Master. What do you wish for me to do?"

He went to a dark alley with no witnesses, and Death manifested herself.
"Take the most vicious disgusting and horrible Organisation that exists here, and give them anonymously information about me, a rich man, that would like to buy a few things/weapons from them and invest a few million in their work.
Make it look like I am like-minded and easy to deal with."
Death bowed her head."There are few Organisations like this, though the one I despise most is HYDRA. One of my most favorite Persons was murdered by them."
"Than it will be Hydra. I want to get their trust and love, and then, destroy them from inside out." He clicked his tongue, and out of his shadow walked Jupiter, his natural white Grimdog, his vibrant yellow eyes fixed on his Master, Harry.
"Jupiter. Seek me a House that is forgotten and for sale. Use your Magic to find it, then come back to me. Use the shadows, for I do not want that they caught you."

The Dog that looked like a pure white husky, bowed its massive head, and vanished back into the Shadows, then turned back to see if Death was still there, but she was gone.

Huffing, he rubbed Melodys' head, and she hissed in delight, as they walked down the endless streets.
The people here spoke strange, but thanks to magic and Death being able to speak any language, he managed. After a while, he realized, it was Romanian, and he bought some Streetfood.
After around an hour, Jupiter came back with his tail wagging like mad, and Harry smiled as he gave the dog the rest of his Sandwich and patted his head.
Jupiter took the food gratefully and devoured it whole than went to lead Harry away from the streets and people, that stared after him in confusion.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Harry stared blankly at the giant Mansion in front of him, the mind blank of confusion and wonder."Why the Hell does that thing have a magic Signature? Death?"

The dark Lady appeared next to him as he called her, and bowed her head smiling."This House was loved by many generations like a family member, such things can cause magical energy storage in the masonry. It has been renewed and converted several times over the years, however, as the Family has now left the house, it's empty, and the Magic flows freely around, till someone claims it his again. I took the liberty of signing it over to you, my beloved Master. It's yours now."

He let an elegant Eyebrow rise and smirked bewildered and fascinated at his best friend and right hand."You really are always one step ahead, aren't you, sweet Sister of mine?"

She giggled as she gave him the Documents and kissed his Forehead."Indeed I am, Indeed."
