Capítulo 29: Chapter 29 : Mystery Of Death
-Christmas-
After scaring Malfoy, and making him like a bitch he is, Orion had a long time of peace.
Nothing worthwhile happens after that, Orion kept on working on his training, and classes and increasing his magical power. Soon Christmas came and most of the students went home to meet their parents.
Orion had the option to go out and enjoy the muggle world or better yet, go information hunting in the magical world, while he is at it, he could also draw magic from other magical animals as well. But he decided not to.
Nowadays he is working hard on writing his book and completing the prototype of the broom he was working on. He completed the main runic structure needed to make the broom while reusing the wood he had from the old broom to make his prototype.
The only thing which was holding him back was a focus. Something which can make his broom better than others. Thanks to Merlin's knowledge, he created a complex runic structure which will be much better than any other broom in terms of speed and manoeuvrability.
The only problem was that he based this broom very similar to how a wand is created. Thus he needed a magical focus to complete his broom, the problem was that he didn't have any with him. He could get a phoenix feather from Red and surely his friends will give him as many as he wants but that's not reliable.
He was putting so much work into making his broom because he planned to mass produce it later and sell it. It will be one of those very expensive products which target only one person in the market in the wizarding world.
Like those international teams, playing for the World Cup or something. They have to buy his brooms, just to stay in the competition. If their opponents' brooms are 3 to 4 times better than theirs, then they have to buy his brooms. Thus he gonna sell to everyone and use their disadvantage as leverage to sell more.
Orion planned to charge good money for these better brooms, making them the equivalent of supercars in the wizarding world. But he needs to find a focus first.

Orion who was currently writing his book in the Room Of Requirement with Serene expression, signed as he completed another chapter of his book.
"Are you done ?" came the voice of Merlin who was sleeping in the corner, Orion had to command the room to bring a bed for Merlin.
"Yes," Orion replied, was about to get going but then suddenly stopped as things came to his mind. Something which he meant to ask Merlin for a long time.
"Deathly Hallows, what do you know about them," Orion asks in a nonchalant manner. But Merlin on the side knew why Orion asked this question, the reason was simple, one was right in front of him. Albus too- many names Dumbledore should have already given Rose his father's invisibility cloak. Orion wanted that cloak, it was part greed but also the significant importance of an artifact like that was immense.
"Don't think about them, they are the cursed objects. My best advice is to stay away from them," Merlin said, his usual grandfatherly/funny uncle images returning back to his Merlin God of Magic one.
Orion noticed the change in the facial features and didn't react much, after staying this long with Merlin, he knew him well enough to tell apart when he was just joking, which to his surprise he does a lot, and when he is dead serious.
And this was one of those times when he was serious. Orion now was hooked, wanting to know why Merlin was this serious about those deathly hallows, he was sure that there was something which he was not telling him.
"Okay, but you need to tell me why, I know that there is a story behind it, isn't it,' Orion asked with a smile as the story was about to begin, it is strange how knowing about what happened in history from Merlin has become a relaxing time for him since when he had started his magical training, he just didn't have much time for himself, let alone time to spend with his few friends.
He couldn't even attend the Quidditch match before when Rose won against the Slytherin team. He promised himself that from the second year, he would spend more time with his friends.
"Well, I guess this was coming no matter what, fine I will explain the mystery behind death and those deathly hallows.
Remember when I told you that in the history of this world, there have been two great magical collapses,' Merlin asked and Orion just nodded in affirmation, signalling Merlin to start.
"As you already know, there used to be many powerful creatures living in the world, as our earth is a planet which has a chaotic core. In science, it might mean unstable but in the magical term, it means that Earth creates magic from its core.
I will not go into many details with this but just remember that not all planets are like this, and only those planets which have a chaotic core can give birth to life, mind you I am not saying sustained life, that's different. I am saying to give birth to life.
Magic is chaos, chaos in the universe is the only thing which defies the natural order of the universe, thus it can create life. Those beings who can harness this Chaos can become really powerful to the point that they couldn't live without magic.
Back then, there used to be a human who wanted all this magical power for himself, That was one of the royals (A true pure blood of the ancient era), some of the strongest wizards of all time. That Royal got power from a higher being who used to walk on this planet many many millennia ago.
That Royal cheated the natural law of the world, the law is magic which I have yet to explain and teach you, you can consider it a kind of magic which is much more powerful than other magic but it is harder to do this magic, one must have a certain degree of control over the natural order of the world.
It's like being able to bring back to dead to life and much more, this royal tries to control the natural order through chaos. This is a sin, chaos and order do not exist together in this world, only law can bring some changes to the existing order, and there is no way to control it.
But this person, a witch to be exact broke those orders by using all the chaos of this world against that order. That was the first collapse of the magical world. Not only she was cursed to live her life alone, far away from the world of the living but also the magical leylines of earth were destroyed.
Magical density was lost and many magical beings, who needed dense magic to survive, perished or left the world. She became what we call now death.
Death is a concept, before you mistook her for real death, let me tell you, she is just using the name and she is not the real death. But calling her the mistress of death is also not wrong either.
As she does hold the greatest command on the law of death. This was the rule she actually broke back then, he wanted to control death, a natural order which can be delayed but can't be avoided. This resulted in her being perishing from the world of the living, she ended up taking the Alice of death.
She had thousands if not millions of years to control the power of death. If she were to come back, then she is nothing less than a god, and believe me, she has tried to come back. To come back, she needs control over life, a completely opposite law.
She over the years has gotten strong by causing chaos in the world and harvesting the life of creatures who died before their destine time, making herself stronger. For example, consider a pandemic, many people died before their time, and she absorbed their remaining power.
She can't gain any power if the natural life of a person comes to an end, on its own. That is beyond her. Over the years, she had caused much suffering to make herself strong. But couldn't come back.
The two things which are stopping her from coming back are the natural order and the law of life. She can't get her life back as she has no control over life. And lastly, for a powerful being like her, this world as it is is not suitable, she needs to first repair the broken leylines which she once destroyed to survive whenever she comes back," Merlin took his time after telling all of this.
Orion was still processing everything in his mind, he was about to ask something but Merlin spoke first.
"Deathly Hallows are cursed objects which she created by using her power and knowledge of the Law Of Death. Everyone who uses it is meant to suffer in their life and ultimately she will claim their souls in due time.
Ever Wonder where the spell Avada Kedavra came from or why it's so powerful or unblockable?
It is because she infuses her power in this spell, and whoever uses this spell will lose their mind in due time, they don't know but they directly draw magic from her and thus owe her a debt, a payment in return for this power. Something which they have to pay in due time," Merlin said and let Orion process.
"Don't tell me that the one you wanted me to fight was her," Orion asked after pondering about the situation for a while, Merlin on the other side didn't reply directly.
"I don't want you to face her, no. I want you to lock her down. When I learned about her, I dedicated the rest of my life to finding a solution to stop her. I did but I didn't have much time nor the the ability to stop her. So I did the only thing which I could, I gave my life and preserve myself to find and teach the one who could do what I couldn't," Merlin said.
Orion breathed hard, only now understanding just what kind of shitty future awaits him. He looked at the candle which was about to run out and the clock which said that it was almost morning.
"I'll do it," Orion muttered before he could even think about it.
"What is the point of getting strong if I can't save myself and my love once the time comes," Orion said with confidence. He was not sure actually but just remembering how boring and pointless his life was before coming to the Harry Potter world, he knew one thing even if he died, he gonna die as a hero. Someone who did what he wanted and didn't have any regrets in his life.
Merlin after hearing this couldn't help but smile, finally breaking his serious image and coming back to his usual self.
Orion was about to get going but suddenly stopped as something came to his mind and he asked.
"What way did you find to beat death ?" Orion asked, now wondering what possibly be strong enough to beat an enemy who is stronger than level 7 which Merlin reached in his lifetime.
"I might tell you someday, but as for the power level, well let's say if I was 7 in my heyday then she has to be a 9," Merlin said with a little amused tone, knowing fully well, how Orion is gonna react.
