Death

Well, as far as the future goes, I mean, that's really all I have in mind.

But to go from, like, a being as a Grim Reaper and compare him to Death, because normally when people think of Grim Reaper, they think immediately as Death himself.

But in this case, obviously, he is just immediately a minion of Death, in this case.

So for him to kind of go beyond the barriers of, I would say, to a balanced life, he has to do what he has to do.

Take out death, since he's taken out the whole world.

Oh, cool

... where, um, uh, yeah, uh, where we've got my other half's oldest daughter dressed as Death-

Okay

...

in various location, uh, various locations around whereby, I live in Bridge North, so she's, like, doing the shopping in, in Co-op dressed as Death, and nobody is taking any notice of her at all.

[laughs]

And we haven't got permission, we're just doing it.

The rest should fortify hell and prepare reception for their king.

At hell's gate, Satan found Sin, who sprang from his head, and Death, their offspring.

Sin held the key.

She opened the gates, which roared and could not be shut.

The Son pronounced a curse on the serpent, enmity between it and the woman, and between its seed and hers, who should bruise its head, on the woman's sorrow in childbirth and subjection to her husband, and on the man labor and return to dust and curse the ground for his sake.

He pitied them and clothed them with skins.

Sin and Death, sensing the Fall, left Hell's gates open and built a broad bridge from Hell to the world across Chaos.

They met Satan returning in triumph.

So what else does Dumbledore have? Well, Dumbledore has the Elder Wand, which is the strongest wand in the whole Harry Potter universe.

In The Tale of the Three Brothers, it is said to be forged by Death himself.

Dumbledore, he kinda disagrees with that and he says he thinks that, uh, Antioch Peverell just made it himself, but that it was, like, still made with incredibly powerful magic.

Either way, it is the strongest wand in all of Harry Potter.

It's got some really awful nicknames, the, the Death Stick and the s- the Wand of Destiny.

For all the great names in Harry Potter, those are two that weren't that great.

Uh, but either way, as I said, strongest wand in all of Harry Potter.

There is a question that everyone carries, and almost no one asks out loud.

What happens when we die? A boy sits in front of death himself.

Death has just offered him any gift in the universe, and the boy says, "I already know what I want.

Tell me that." This is Dharma Katha Season One, Pitru Paksha, Episode 21, Fourth Day.

If you are new to this story, the first two parts are episodes 19 and 20.

Do not press me.

Release me from this.

Death is asking a child to let him off.

This I should like to know, taught by thee.

This is the third of my boons." Death said, "On this point, even the gods have doubted formerly.

It is not easy to understand.

That subject is subtle.

Choose another boon, O Nachiketas.

Do not press me, and let me off that boon." Nachiketas said, "On this point, even the gods have doubted indeed, and thou, Death, hast declared it to be not easy to understand, and another teacher like thee is not to be found.

Surely, no other boon is like unto this." Death said, "Choose sons and grandsons who shall live a hundred years, herds of cattle, elephants, gold, and houses.

Choose the wide abode of the earth, and live thyself as many harvests as thou desirest.

And he was actually originally named Conquest in the biblical book of Revelations.

Now, Pestilence is known for this because of, and he appears in the scripture as Pestilence, regarding the fourth rider, Death, which like we inspired the transition of the first rider into a bringer of disease.

So this idea that the first rider of the apocalypse swarms the earth with disease.

Now, one of Dr. Q's other frequently nickname is Death God, or Shinigami, and rides a sickly horse named Stronger.

Now, this also connects him to the idea of riding the pale horse, which is the horse that belongs to Death.

So there's a connection here between two of the Four Horsemen and this character in Dr. Q.

And I think that's really interesting, this idea that two of the Four Horsemen being represented by this sickly man who has the Devil Fruit of the Sick Sick Fruit, as well as wielding a really cool double-sided scythe as his main weapon.

There were men fighting and women watching from high towers.

The awful figure of the Darkness of Death was shown there, too, with mournful eyes and the dust of battles upon her shoulders.

The outer rim of the shield showed the stream of Ocean, the stream that encircles the world.

Swans were soaring above and swimming on its surface.

In the words he had spoken, he would have taken back the words that had brought her consent to go with death in his place.

Paler and weaker Alcestis grew.

Death would soon be here for her.

No, not here, for he would not have death come into the palace.

In the words he had spoken, he would have taken back the words that had brought her consent to go with death in his place.

Paler and weaker Alcestis grew.

Death would soon be here for her.

No, not here, for he would not have death come into the palace.

He lifted Alcestis from the bed, and he carried her from the palace.

Ah, the sacrifice that the king is making, said Heracles.

To what god is that sacrifice due? To the god of the underworld, said the servant.

Death is coming to Alcestis the queen where she lies on a bier in the temple of the gods.
