Chapter 10

Death took a seat next to Hadrian and took glass filled it with fire whiskey,she then fully gulped it down.Death grinned and said"That is really good drink."

Hadrian now looking curious questioned"So are you going to tell me about your family?"

Death sighed and explained"We are total if seven siblings born of powerful beings Time and Night."

Hadrian nodded as Death continued"The Endless as we are called is somewhat of a dysfunctional family of seven siblings who each represent an aspect of life Dream, Death, Destiny, Despair, Desire, Delirium and Destruction.We each have roles and duties of our own."

Hadrian was taking everything in as he asked"Do I have worry about any of your siblings?"

Death with serious tone said"Desire he has a very strained relationship with Dream,if he finds out about your pact with Dream I am sure he will try to find everything about you.But since you the support of both Dream and me,I am sure Desire won't make any trouble.Since we have rules ans restrictions of our own."

All Endless are bound to a complex set of rules and customs that limit their abilities. One which requires them not to spill the blood of family or he is no longer protected as the Personifications. Another is that they cannot fall in love with a mortal or the mortal's downfall is assured.

Death after that made slight small talk before leaving,she also told Hadrian to master those gifts since they could be very useful against the rogue Nightmares,which are more powerful than any demons he had faced.

Hadrian learned how to use the Sand Of Dream it was very useful ability to have as he trained in Room of Requirement he created in Peverell Mansion.

Hadrian started hunting these rogue Nightmares whenever Dream notified him about it.It was raining and Pan was a nightmare creature living in the guise of man, as Dream puts it"A nightmare created to be the darkness and the fear of darkness in every human heart. A black mirror made to reflect everything about itself that humanity will not confront."

They have the ability to alter the dreams to create terror in the dreamer.As a nightmare, they can call forth various forms of fear.

It was okay at the start.But John was facinated by serial killer and he loved the thrill of killing,so he soon gave into it and was able to materialize in this plane of existence and started hunting humans it was exhilarating and being completely unable to detected by cops was thrilling.

Pan walks down a dark street...then suddenly he gets blasted into nearby building creating a crack on the wall.

Before Pan could recover Hadrian conjured long thin flame flew from his hands,which wrapped itself around Pan's ankle and yanked him dragging him towards Hadrian until face-to-face with him.

Pan quickly gives Hadrian a kick sending crashing into the wall,Hadrian groaned and got up as Pan slowly changes more goat like appearance with ram like horns and milky eyes.He was almost 7feet tall and was stronger than even Lilth,Hadrian guessed being created by Cosmic entity made his really hard to fight.

Hadrian held his hand out as sand floats and danced on his palms then it launches itself towards John and like a tornado surrounded him,no matter how much he screamed no body heard him.When the sand disappeared the goatman was like he never existed in the first place.

Hadrian sighed and muttered"This is tougher than I thought it would be and this is my first one."

As he quickly used mending charm to repair everything and apparated away.Thus he started doing similar missions for Dream sometimes instead of Nightmares Dream or Death would ask to retrieve and guard certain artifacts.
