Warning: He (Hadrian) will go and visit Death in this chapter and so that means dead by his own hands/magic. There is not that much of details about it cause it will trigger some people but still it's there and I am just warning people just in case.
Well then enjoy!
_____________
Around two minutes passed with all of us either nursing or drinking our drinks before we got into the real reason we were there.
" So dears what seems to be the problem? " Iris asked.
We looked at each other before I decided to just go ahead and be done with it.
" Magnus has two soulmarks and I have one. I am one of his soulmates and as far as we know the other soulmate may also have one only too. " I said.
" ... Well I didn't think this would ever happen again. " Iris said after her expression calmed down.
" Wait this has happened before? " Magnus asked.
" Yes. My ancestors who were alive way before you Magnus Bane was born saw this once and at that time they were confused as I am sure all of you are but it's actually not a big mess. There are two reasons why this would happen. One is that one of Magnus' soulmates wasn't suppose to exist in this timeline. Two is that the fates gave all three of you the choice to choose if you want to be together or just ignore it. It's extremely rare for the later to happen because even if you got the choice to refuse you still hold a soulmark connecting you and your soulmate -in this case soulmates- and well it will be hard. " After Iris said that she drank her tea.
" ... "
" ... "
" ... "

Silence was the only thing left. Everyone was surprised mostly for different reasons.
Jules and Jest were surprised because of something that happenes before Hadrian was born.
Magnus was surprised because to this day he still felt the old man auro around Hadrian.
Hadrian was surprised because he got to choose. He hated choosing without context and he hated choosing mostly cause he can be a greedy bastard sometimes, mostly if whatever he has to choose between has found it's way into his heart. Magnus has done that exactly and he didn't feel like letting him go. He wouldn't call this love. More like a really important friend/mentor/future lover/soulmate.
" So which are you? " Iris asked to nobody in particular but Hadrian knew it was meant for him.
------------------
After that we left and went home.
The moment we got there Mom and Dad asked both me and Magnus to follow them. They lead us in the living room we all sat comfortably and waited.
" Hadrian we need to tell you something. " Mom said.
" Five months in your Mother's womb you started to get weak and by the ninth month in your heartbeat stopped... " Dad said.
" We decided to pray and ask to anyone willing to help and the day you were suppose to get out we were beyond nervous... " Mom.
" Guess our surprise when you left the womb alive. " Dad.
By now Mom was crying and Dad looked like he trying to keep his tears away.
" We never knew the how or the why but we were glad that you were okay. " Mom said between her silent sobs. I got up and hugged her.
" Maybe that's what Iris meant by wrong time? " Magnus asked after our moment was done.
" Perhaps. " I said. I didn't mind telling them about what happend to my previous life but I wouldn't tell unless they asked the specific information.
" What are you thinking? " Magnus asked me.
" I was wondering if it's the second reason... What do you think your other soulmate will act like? " I asked. I really didn't want to let go of Magnus and as far as I know I was sent to this world to be happy with my soulmates or whatever so there is no way in hell am I letting go without some fight.
I know that I won't fully fall in love with Magnus or the other soulmate. My past life made sure I kept my guard up but I know that I will fall in love with Magnus and probably the other soulmate too. I just didn't know what to think of it right now.
" I don't know but I do know that people's soulmates usually have the same ish personalities... So they may understand. " Magnus said and shrugged.
" True. "
------------------
* Back to the present. *
After that talk and discovery life went on as normal as before just this time most of us would be seen looking blankly at the front looking like we were thinking about something. It wasn't healthy so we just decided to talk about our thoughts just in case and thank Merlin for that as we really thought negatively if we were left on our own thoughts sometimes.
I think I got that from Mom and a little from Dad from what I have seen. Magnus has lived for so long so it wouldn't be hard for him to get into deep without meaning to.
So yeah it took a couple months before everything actually went back to normal normal.
------------------
* Two years later. *
In these two years both Magnus and I learned what we have so far isn't love and second of all I am still young compared to him so we just decided to wait till am in my twenties apparently and during those years I would get to learn about him and maybe about our other soulmate.
I also got to visit Death to finish my vow and of course I also got the grimoire and Death wasn't kidding about it being dangerous. Half of that book is only about destructive spells.
It wasn't hard to actually visit Death. I just had to make sure that Magnus was gone and that if I died he wouldn't know I even managed to create a spell that would block the soulmark from warning him but would still make him think that am still alive.
For my parents I had to cast the strongest forget me and notice me not spell because they are attached and Dad also knows magic. Not as much as Magnus of course but enough to know when his son is in danger.
After that I just killed myself knowing that I would come back and went to the underworld. Death's home. While I was there I gathered information on what could annoy Death and I also found some reaper friends so a win-win for me.
I learned that Death /hates/ paperwork and that the more people die the more paperwork he get. Now if I didn't have morals I would gave gone on a killing spree so that one was out. The next thing that I knew I would do was get Death distracted enough for the paperwork to increase into a mountain of paperwork.
Now did that sound evil enough to annoy him? Yup! Luckily he is Death so he won't die from overworking himself.
After I was done with my distraction game I went back to the living world and contacted Life whom I told all my stories from the underworld over tea. She was interested since both Death and Life couldn't visit each other in their own realm but they could see each other in the void so that was great.
She did end up loving what I did to Death and told me that long ago like a thousand years back Death had done something similar and at that point life almost left the world thanks to his little minion.
I asked for the tea and well that was interesting.
Death has only had two Masters in his life (death?) and that includes me. Life on the other hand has had four. She is apparently taking a break at the moment.
The first Master of Death was a mischievous person meaning that at that time so was Death since he agreed to them being his Master and they would both almost cause the end of the world most of the time so Death had to be separated from his first Master unless the beings wanted the world to end.
A sad story but also quite interesting too.
