A/N: This was a story I was working in the background as I worked on my other stories. This is a triple crossover will only be using Percy and an Oc from his world while the rest belong to the HP and Star Wars universes. A shout out to RoyalTwinFangs for his support and my beta joaomanuelarelomansogoncalves.

Hope you enjoy.

Chapter 1

"They are beautiful, aren't they?" A handsome man with neatly trimmed beard and unruly waving black hair asked the breathtaking woman next to her. His warm green eyes sparkled as he gazed between the tow objects of his incalculable affection.

"They are," the woman replied looking lovingly at the two sleeping babes in their cribs. She brushed the hair of the little girl out of her face gently caressing her soft skin while she was at it.

"Look at them sleep," Poseidon sighed with a mixture of gratitude and sorrow. His green eyes changed colour according to the feelings that rushed within his being. "Who can say that these two were two of the most feared warriors of their time?"

Of the two children the boy looked like his father while the girl took after their mother. Despite this they could see each other in both of these children who were barely a year old. Poseidon drew the mother of his children close to his side by putting his hand around her slim waist. She rested her head streaming with golden honey coloured locks on his shoulder.

True to her wishes, her children took after their father which miffed Poseidon quite a bit. He wanted his children to take after their beautiful mother. Both children had inherited their father's unruly black hair which could not be tamed despite all her efforts. They also had his green eyes. Much like their father's their eye colour changed depending on their mood. She had seen the softer greens when they were jubilant… she also had seen the stormy greens when they were angry or dissatisfied.

Yet they had inherited her traits as well. Both her children had pointy ears, which to her relief was less prominent than hers. She also could see her high cheek bones in them as well as her nose. The boy looked more like his father while her daughter took after her more.

'My children… these are my children…,' she reassured herself repeatedly still not believing the things that happened to her in the past nine years. It all happened so fast that she still couldn't believe how much changed in such a rapid pace. She feared that this was all a dream and she would wake up back where she had left in Atollon or may be before that. That was why she kept reminding herself that she wasn't dreaming repeatedly.

Fay Arctura or more commonly known as Master Fay in the greater galaxy smiled euphoria when the little boy blew a spit bubble in his sleep. She reached out to caress the face of her son. She wanted nothing but to squeeze the chubby cheeks in front of her cooing at the cuteness at this moment. In all her trials and tribulations in the past three centuries of life, she hadn't even remotely though of having this… a family to call her own… bonds that transcended the limits set by the Jedi Council.

Fay was a woman known for her aloofness and distance from society. She was a nomad. Letting the force guide her to wherever she was needed the most. She was always on a ship… alone, travelling between systems to solve problems the people faced. This was why she was a legend even among the Jedi. She knew that her exploits were highly in demand since many of the people she helped had depicted her in a heroic manner to give hope for the downtrodden.

Her only attachments were with few select individuals whom she had come to know and respect over the years within the Order which included her master who had inducted her to the Order after she lost her family.

However the couple of years of motherhood had completely changed her. She was no longer aloof. Instead she was soothing and welcoming. If any of the Masters of the Jedi Council was to see her, they would have a hard time recognizing her.

The reason partly was due to her experiences at Atollon. However Ood would point her change completely at the man besides her. He was the one who thawed her frozen heart making her love once again. She may have got over the loss of losing her family to the Sith from the teachings at Atollon, however he was the man who healed her completely. If soulmates did exist… he was hers.

Poseidon knelt by the cribs after detangling himself from Fay… whom he considered as his wife despite the obstacles between them. He exhaled slowly looking intently at his sleeping children. Gently brushing their foreheads with his fingers he swallowed the bottomless pit that seemed have formed in him in the past couple weeks.

He didn't belong to this world. He was a victim of circumstance when he was thrown across dimensional boundaries due to Gaea. He had only waited impatiently to return since he didn't belong here. That was why he had built himself this isolated home. But everything changed the day they came… especially her.

Right now, the situation was completely different. He didn't wish to go home. He wanted to stay here with Fay and his children without having to follow some stupid Ancient Laws. He knew his time was up. He had to return unless he wanted both planes to suffer catastrophic harm.

To be true, a part of him wanted to say 'fuck you' to the Fates and refrain from returning. Though it was against his nature to see bystanders suffer, he wanted to be selfish for once. However he also knew the calling couldn't be stopped. Him resisting further would only harm his family more… both of them, in this world and in his previous.

"May you alway find happiness," he blessed in Ancient Greek. The two babes glowed bright gold for a second.

This was the best he could do for them. He had built them a home, a safe haven where they could grow up safely without having to look over their shoulders. He had made them tools to survive in the future. From here on it was up to them to live the lives as they saw fit.

He knew that they were going to be powerful, even for his children. They had been conceived encompassing all his aspects. Usually a demigod only inherited one aspect from his immortal parent. While Big Three could integrate multiple aspects with ease, the other gods had to find the ideal partner to do so. Even then, he and his brothers were reluctant to grant all their aspects to a child. A child encompassing two traits would be enough to stand in the top of the ladder amongst his or her peers.

Throughout the ages Poseidon had two such children. One had been Theseus who inherited his raw strength, mastery over his domain and tactical genius. He was like the violent sea storm. The most recent one was Perseus Jackson, the child he was most proud of.

A deep sadness welled in him as he thought how he wouldn't know anything about his children as they grew up.

'Well… if it is the price I have to pay…'

He shook the cobwebs off his mind. Even though he wouldn't see them grow up or help them mature, he would always be proud of them.

'The fates had so many plans for the two of you. I hope you would cherish the fact that your old man went this far to free your souls from their hold,' he thought smiling despite his sadness.

Oh, the three hags were going to flip out when they discover what he had done. They may have discovered it already. It wasn't like they participated in the final push to send off his loving grandmother. They may already know that he managed to catch the two souls before being thrown here.

Enough was enough. He had seen his children suffer over and over again from their machinations. This way, they would grow up without having to look over their shoulders for another prophesy.

'I promise to not let any of my children face the same situation as you were in,' he promised the two babes who were oblivious to their surroundings.

He glanced at the corner. He frowned slightly when he saw the box he was looking for missing.

"I took it to the castle and secured it safely," Fay answered when she noticed his reaction.

"Good," he agreed. "I wouldn't want any of those items misplaced. It will be nothing short of apocalypse should the 'force wielders' of this world get their hands on them," he said air quoting the force wielders.

Fay smiled knowing his attitude towards them. Despite being a powerful entity that could destroy world, Poseidon was rather petty and childish when it came to some matters. She though that he was somewhat of an overgrown baby in situations like this.

He felt the pull on his divine spark once again. The calling was becoming more frequent and it was getting harder and harder to resist them. He endured it clenching his teeth tightly. If Fay noticed him, she didn't react knowing how he reacted when he was implied being weak.

Poseidon knew that he couldn't withstand another calling. He was sure his divine spark would shatter should he do so.

"Come," Poseidon said leading her outside the little cottage they built together in the beach. This was the place he and Fay usually resided due to the scenery and the sense of freedom the location provided.

He didn't want to awaken the two children who were happily dreaming away. Most importantly he didn't wish for their last memory of him being his departure.

He led her out into the pristine beach that circled the isolated island they called home. Even though the domain of the Ocean in this world didn't belong to him, he still had his powers. This used to be an island which had sunken down to the bottom of the of the Atlantic due to the shifting of tectonic plates centuries ago… before the man of this world started to venture out of their birthplaces.

There was a reason why he chose to raise this Madagascar size island out and protect it from all mortals like he protected Avalon at the behest of his daughter Britannia in which she entombed her favourite son. That was, the moment he was dumped on this planet, he ran into some magicals who tried to contain him saying that he was a threat. They were only using it as an excuse to dissect him and learn his secrets.

Enough said, those people were no longer alive. To his utter dismay he never attempted to find out their origins to erase all the evidence pertaining to him as well. It was a reason why he chose to raise this island and live in it until it was time for him to return to his rightful world.

During the past few weeks he had worked to increase the amount of protections surrounding the island. Without the consent of the original inhabitants, which included Fay, their children and that odd plant creature who came with Fay; Ood, no one was going to know of its existence much less get access.

The sea breeze caressed their faces as they stood in silence unwilling to begin the teary conversation they were about to have. The sun was beginning to set adding to the sullen feeling that surrounded the two. Both of them knew that this day would come. They had been prepared for it. Yet still it was hard to let everything go after enjoying each other's company for the past few years.

For Poseidon he was about to leave the woman he had come to love the most.

He was married to Amphitrite. But that marriage was arranged by his mother Rhea in order to appease her brother Oceanus. It was a marriage formed out of duty rather than love. True, he was kind of hooked when Amphitrite played hard to get, but it was Hestia whom he truly wanted to be with. But his sister opted to stay a virgin becoming the Last Olympian, providing them a hime to return to even in the direst of situations. He honoured her wish loving her from far, protecting her from danger.

In his mind Hestia was the one he was meant to be with. Instead he was married to the daughter of the man who helped his brother to swallow him and his siblings. True, over the years he and Amphitrite came to love one another unlike Zeus and Hera whose romance burnt bright and short. Their marriage was mostly successful for he had three perfect heirs waiting to take over his duties would the need arise. But there was always something missing.

Amphitrite knew of it. That was why she was more open minded and welcoming of his demigod children. Sure, she may seem cold at first. Eventually she would come to love the child like he was her own… except some she never like for some reason. She always said it was due to their nasty attitudes… like Orion, one of his greatest mistakes.

It happened with many of his children through the ages. The most recent example being Perseus. Percy and Amphitrite didn't got along during Oceanus' siege of Atlantis. In fact Percy stayed as far away as possible from his step mother. But after the war, it was she who crowned him as a Prince of Atlantis welcoming him to the family.

Amphitrite was great, of that he had no doubt. However after all those years, he found the one who could replace the figure he had in his heart. The only problem was that they belonged to different planes of existences. He almost laughed mirthlessly at the cruel joke of the fates.

They met by chance, they created a family, enjoyed one another… but now it ends.

"It's happening against isn't it?" Fay questioned looking at his slight grimace. She knew that he tried to hide it from her. He was rather reluctant to show her his vulnerable side, a quality she found endearing. But the pain must be becoming unbearable for him to show it out in the open.

"I don't think I can resist another calling," Poseidon said sitting down on the white sand. The waves lapped around his feet as if they were welcoming him in. She could have sworn she saw several fish trying to leave the water to crawl near him.

He waved his had and the waves parted around him drying the sand as well. He patted the sand next to him. She sat down next to him. She never got over the awe on some of the things he could do. The casual attitude in which he did things that would be termed impossible by the rest of the galaxy was mind blowing.

Bendu was right. Poseidon was someone who was an extreme outlier. Even the force couldn't do anything to him. He could give into emotions, dwelling on them without having to fear of falling to the dark side. He was someone who disregarded all the known conventions. He saw the force beneath him instead of being molded by it.

Then again, she couldn't use him to judge 'normal'. He was not of this plane, he didn't follow its rules and most importantly… he was a freaking immortal who had lived for several hundreds of thousand years. Even in his world, he was an outlier in the power scale.

"I knew this day would come eventually. We both did. Yet a part of me wishes that you could stay behind so that we could become a proper family… to grow old together watching our children's success… but of course you would still be a freaking immortal," she said looking out into the sea her expression shifting between desolation and mirth.

Poseidon chuckled a little and the sea looked genuinely sad. A storm seemed to gather with the skies turning grey and the winds picking up. Yet the waves bypassed them as they usually did without spraying a drop of water on the two who were sitting right in front of the water line.

"As do I," he said looking at the sky. She saw him visibly age a few years.

She sighed and leaning against him. "You were the one who made me feel again. For that I am eternally grateful."

"That bullshit Jedi Order," Poseidon said at once scowling heavily. "I have an indescribable urge to go to this Coruscant and give them a piece of my mind! Indoctrinating children to stop feeling emotion. Who do they think they are?"

She smiled despite herself. Poseidon was obviously venting for her because she had told him all about her childhood. His anger at how the order dismissed her need for closure on the matter of her family had made him furious to say the least.

Luckily she now followed a more flexible and deep code which was more openminded thanks to her trip to Atollon.

If it had not been for that journey, she would have immediately defended the code like any other self respecting Jedi. Now, she was more than ready to criticize the faults of their doctrine.

The Jedi Code had been the only direction she had after her entire family and loved ones were killed by the Sith Lord Darth Vectivus who wanted to obtain her as his disciple seeing her abnormal connection with the force. Luckily she was saved by Master Yaddle. She was then inducted into the order. Despite her claims of the existence of the Sith and her experiences, her claims were mostly ignored.

As a result instead of warming chairs in Coruscant, she opted to follow the force to help those in need so that nobody would suffer like she did as soon as she could.

According to the Jedi doctrine, all personal attachments led to the dark side. After these years with Poseidon and her children, she saw something the Jedi seemed to have overlooked. True, emotions gave power as seen by the Sith. The will to protect those you love and the tether to the reality your loved ones provided prevented one from descending to the dark side. Instead these emotions bound you grounding you from descending to madness.

Poseidon saw the Jedi code as a joke. He and Ood often got into arguments since Ood sometimes tried to justify the Jedi Code despite having given up on it himself. If was more of a loyalty thing. Fay didn't expect him to completely abandon the teaching of the Jedi after living under its doctrine for thousands of years.

"Are they braindead idiots… or are they attempting to lobotomize themselves?"

This had been Poseidon's query when he heard the Jedi Code. He brought out several key points that defeated all arguments they put forth. When thinking about it she knew that if she were to recite the tenants of the Jedi Order to a normal sentient, they would either laugh out loud or question whether they were all right before directing them for help regarding mental health.

All sentients feel emotions. It was their nature. The trick is to not give into them and become mindless creatures nor suppress them denying their existence… the trick is to analyze and overcome them by facing them directly.

She could see his point. She agreed on his view completely because she had opted to follow the code left behind by the Je'daii, the original force sensitives. This Code agreed with the arguments Poseidon brought forth.

Finally she and Ood could only accept their defeat and stop trying to defend the Jedi doctrine.

She loved how passionate he became when he was arguing his case. His eyes twinkled and his face became a little red from excitement. His voice even got a bit louder. She felt heat build up in her core when she saw him like this.

She shuddered trying to get her mind off the gutter. Her love and attraction to this man was the cause she had two beautiful children, the pride and joy of her life.

"You know what I mean," she said laughingly at him shaking her head and bumping her shoulder to his. "And don't pile me with them anymore. I have given up on their doctrine and adapted one of my own."

"One that helped you to fall in love with me like everyone else, no? One look at my sexy body and you were all over me throwing all your beliefs to the wind." He saw quirking his eyebrows. He loved to tease her. It made his day when she lit up in happiness.

"Prat," she said smacking him again.

She didn't know what it was but being with Poseidon brought out a side of her that she never knew existed. She felt carefree and adventurous without any caution. With him, she could do anything for she knew that he would protect her at all cost.

And that had led him to try many different positions with her, some extremely embarrassing… not that she would complain. On top of buildings, in jungles… she couldn't think of a place they hadn't done the deed. To her utter shame it was during one of these adventurous sessions on a bed of a local monarch of a country called England was when she conceived her children. She would never tell a soul about how exhilarating the experience was though Poseidon came close to guessing where it happened.

All she could say is that Poseidon was one experienced man. He knew her body as if it is his own.

"Still… I wish I could have met you the moment I was sent to this world. My life would have much bearable if you had been here."

Fay nodded as she agreed. She only knew Poseidon for only five years in which they fell in love and had children. However he had been sick without means to return for over fifteen years. If the force had guided her a few years earlier, she would have had more time with him.

"But then again, I'm grateful for that stupid code," Poseidon told her.

"Why?" She asked in surprise.

"If not, you wouldn't have been mine," he said simply. "You would have settled for someone else sooner."

"I'm glad too." She pecked his cheek and smiled. 'It was worth it,' she thought.

"I'm just sad you will not see your children grow up," she said calming herself from a little itch that seemed to appear in a particular place.

"I have seen those two grow up several times. This world has it easy. You die… you join with the force. In my world once you died you reincarnated. Some may stuck in Asphodel or Elysium their whole lives, yet they will eventually reincarnate when the afterlife kicks you out. It's lucky that every time a soul is reborn they are cleaned of their memories in the Lethe. Otherwise I don't think those two could have handled the burden."

"Reincarnation… it's not something we perceive. It's completely alien to what we know of this universe. And to think the souls of my children had reincarnated twice…"

"I know you think I don't respect the force. You are wrong. I envy your people. I just don't understand how I fit into the equation. That is why I distance myself from it." Poseidon said thinking of the strange concept.

He had witnessed the effects of the force firsthand so he believed in it. Instead of immortals controlling the domains, this universe had something called the force. It governed everything from life and death of micro organisms to the life and death of stars. In a way it was utter chaos because there was no supreme being in charge of controlling these events. Yet everything seems to work out.

After an individual passes away, their soul is returned to this natural energy field. Some powerful force users can use this to achieve immortality by rejoining with the force while retaining their consciousness. They could come back and give advice guiding the ones they deem worthy. If his elder brother was with him right now, he would have been able to summon an army of the past force users to provide guidance his children. Alas, he wasn't the master of death.

Poseidon knew that the force itself had a will. Usually it left universe alone. But when the balance was forcibly broken and the universe tipping in a certain direction, it gave a little push to readjust. This little push had come in various forms over the years from a hero or a warlord to a natural phenomenon.

He didn't want to mess around with the universe since he was just a visitor. He couldn't sense another immortal with domains in any of the planets that were sprinkled throughout this galaxy. If they were there, they exceeded him by a large scale to hide themselves from him. He didn't want to tempt fate in finding one since he knew the horror of going against a primordial being. He was in this mess because of such an entity.

He did sense few force sensitives who were far stronger than their contemporaries. However the force had restricted him to this planet which was a carbon copy of the one he came from. Without his ability to go out to explore, he was stuck fending off the pesky witches and wizards.

Honestly, he could say that the witches and wizards were average or below average when compared to the other force wielders of the universe. There were outliers obviously far few in-between. Due to this, they seemed to have created unique methods in controlling it utilizing the various force based resources this planet was rich with. These methods were far superior to the ones the rest of the galaxy was privy to.

Luckily he could still use his powers which seemed to be a mix between his natural affinity and his ability to dominate the force to his will. Otherwise he would have been stranded here with no help and no hope.

During the ninth year since he arrived on this planet and the seventh year since he raised this island to build a home since he didn't know when he was going to be able to return home, he got a massive surprise.

He remembered the day perfectly. He was sitting by the water thinking of new ways to pass time when there was a sudden flash of light a few feet away from him. The light receded to reveal to individuals.

One was a male. He seemed like a dryad more than any thing else. In fact the resemblance was uncanny.

The female however… that is what drew his eyes the most. She was unlike anyone he had ever seen. She was tall… with honey colour locks cascading down her back… grey eyes like stormy skies and most importantly the distinct tattoos on her brow and cheek.

They immediately went on guard the moment they saw him. The woman, who introduced herself as Fay even readied several rocks nearby to hurl at him in an instant. They slowly talked and finally understood the situation eventually speaking amiably once their mistrust was cleared away.

That was the moment he met Fay. At that instance he knew that there was something between them… which turned to be true down the line. A couple of years later he entrusted the souls of his two children to her.

He became close with Ood as well. Once you got to know him, he was an excellent companion. He could go as far as to say that Ood had become one of his rare friends.

He and Ood often reminisce about the moment they met teasing poor Fay about how she was intimidated by his roughish good looks and that she was immediately attracted to him. It was the other way around, but that was something he wouldn't reveal even if his life was on the line.

Ood often teased the two that their sexual tension during the first few moths after they had gotten to know one another was thick enough that it cut be cut with a knife. Both of them denied the claim vehemently. However two years into their relationship and with the birth of their children, they just stayed silent without replying to the man. The two of them knew if was true and they didn't want to lie about it anymore.

"It's fascinating, you know… in another parallel universe there are immortals who control every aspect of the nature instead of the force."

"Actually I quite shocked that there are parallel planes of existence. Even Athen could only theorize about them. She was never able to prove it conclusively… something about the string theory having variables in all the right places. I never understood her jibber jabber." Poseidon said remembering the all knowing raven haired beauty who was as flat as an iron board.

"Athena… isn't she the one you fought often with?" Fay questioned raising an eyebrow.

"Don't get jealous on me Fay… you know I'm a free stallion," he said teasingly. Ducking down at her murderous glare he held his hands up in surrender.

"Relax… relax… I'm just messing with you. There's nothing going on between me and her. I just like to tease her now and then because she's rather easy to rile up. Its fun to see her throwing temper tantrums in front of the council. Though she did piss me off good on several occasions like when she turned Medusa to a gorgon. She quickly learnt to not press her luck."

"I wish I could see your world," she said forlornly.

"I would take you there myself if I could," promised Poseidon looking serious.

"… but you don't know how," Fay finished his sentence.

"Yes," he said sadly. "I don't even know whether I'll survive the return journey."

"Don't say that…You will," she said firmly.

"Don't give up hope. There is much we don't understand about the universe. Here we are in a world that is the mirror of the one from which I was born… yet none of my family knows about it despite being worshipped as their main deities at one point of time. Most of the history is identical with similar time stamps. Even the names of certain individuals… it is kind of freaky. You saw that at one point in their history these people worshipped a deity called Poseidon as well."

"En," she said dipping her head. She knew of the similarities this world had with his. He had shown around explaining them to her and Ood in their many tours around the world. She had visited these temples erected in his honour, mostly concentrated in a region known as the Mediterranean. Some worshipped in under a different name in places one would not assume.

She had a faint hope in her that Poseidon would one day break free from his shackles and rejoin with her and their children to spend the rest of their days together. She was just like any other woman despite these feelings having been dulled for over three centuries at the hands of the Jedi Order. She too wanted a perfect family.

She now understood Djinn Altis formed his own conclave. He saw the unfairness in the Code and opted to follow their own creed giving the Jedi to have families on their own. She was aware of more than a dozen Jedi woman who wanted to have children on their own. Luckily she was able to find true love after all these years.

She cared not whether he was already married. Polygamy was not something new in the galaxy nor was it banned. For her what they had between them was tangible. Everything else was just a minor footnote.

She had unfathomable faith towards the man who stole her heart and made her world complete. If for some godforsaken reason they would be able to reunite, she knew that it would be most likely due to his inability to go against the duties who controlled his universe or because he was deliberately staying away to protect her and their children. She knew that he would do anything to keep their children safe even if it meant that he wouldn't have the pleasure of knowing them and seeing them grown up.

"Perseus and Atlanta haven't had their memories wiped in the Lethe. They will begin to remember about their past life once they turn thirteen. Please tell them about their previous world before that," Poseidon reminded her again. "It will help them readjust the time comes."

"I know. I will tell them everything prior to their awakening slowly," she promised.

She already knew of this. She had already planned on how to reveal these facts little by little. Hopefully when the time comes they would be ready to go through their awakening without changing much.

"Please do. If I know my son, he will flip out when things come to pass. He abhors when people lie to him and use him for their gains. Some of my nieces and nephews found that the hard way. Though he will probably not hate you for keeping secrets, you will never earn his trust. The same goes for Atlanta. Her anger is more fiery than her brother's."

"I know… you never cease to praise your children," she said with a smile. She knew of all their heroics. She was appalled at some of the daunting tasks they had undertaken when they were so young. Her amazement only rose when she learnt of the facts behind those tasks.

"What can I say? He is my pride and joy… as is my daughter," he said with a smile reminiscing about the life of one Perseus 'Percy' Jackson; bane of titans and giants, defeater of monsters, brilliant leader and all-round cool guy.

"You entrusted me their souls. I promise to look after them and make them a home they could always return when tired," she promised taking his hand.

Poseidon wanted to tell something but instead he doubled down in grunting. In his immortal life this was the most pain he had been in. It was not physical, but instead it was something more immaterial like a phantom pain that didn't seem to alleviate. It yanked his divine spark hard while this plane didn't seem to want to let him go either. It was like he was in a tug of war between to universes with him being the rope. However the calling from back home was stronger. The reason why he was able to remain was due to his sheer will.

He got up slowly after the pain had died down substantially and pulled Fay to her feet. He started deeply into her eyes caressing the tattoos on her face.

"I'm going to miss this," he whispered.

She quickly leaned in to give a chaste kiss to convey her feelings.

Fay noticed that Poseidon was slowly turning transparent. At this moment she knew that he was going back home and nothing could prevent otherwise. Though she knew the day would come, she had a tiny hope in her that he would be able to resist the calling and remain behind. Her dream however was unravelling right in front of her eyes. Their time together, though magical was up.

She engulfed the man in a hug squeezing him tightly trying to hold him in place.

"I gave you two of the most important things I have. I know you will look after them because you will be an amazing mother… dream of me… sometime," he whispered kissing her on her forehead.

"I will always dream of you," she promised with teary eyes.

Her hands passed through his torso as he turned transparent.

He swiped the tears out of her cheeks but failed at the task since he was intangible. He sighed in sorrow. "Tell Perseus and Atlanta that I'm always proud of them. Tell them that this is the best that their useless father could do for them. They will always have a special place in my heart. And remember… you are the queen of my queens. Nothing will replace the position of you in my heart."

"Nothing can replace you either," she cried just before his entire being just vanished.

Fay tried to concentrate to find his force presence. But she found none.

Usually his force presence was so massive that the one sensing him had their senses overloaded. Outside this island he withdrew his aura so that it was hardly noticeable even to a trained Jedi. In their home however he didn't bother to conceal it since it was just the three of them here. Her senses picked up even the tiniest ant in the near vicinity. Yet it did not pick up Poseidon at all. All traces of him simply… vanished.

She waited. Seconds turned to minutes and the minutes turned into an hour. During this time she hadn't moved a muscle. Yet tears kept pouring down her cheeks until her tears were all fried. This was the hardest she had cried after the birth of her children.

The sun slowly set in the western sky as the moon rose bringing its companion, the darkness. Animals were scurrying back to their homes in order to rest and pass the night until the sun shone on them the next day.

"He is really gone," she whispered stretching her hand to the last place he had been in.

"He is," a deep voice replied to her rhetorical statement.

"Why?" She asked simply.

"The will of the force is not something we could even begin to comprehend. Maybe with a twist of fate, he would return to you one day. Don't loose hope," Ood replied sighing.

Fay slowly wiped away her tears and shook herself. "Don't worry. I still have something he left with me to remember you him. I will cherish them for the rest of my existence," she promised to the wind.

"That's the spirit," Ood said with little enthusiasm.

"You didn't come to say goodbye," she made an observation. She knew that Ood was somewhere close by all this time. Though they met about seven years ago, she had come to see him as an elder sibling… one who would always look after her no matter how she refused his help. With her saying goodbye, he was most likely by their little cottage keeping an eye on the twins.

"I have already said by goodbyes. I was here to see him off… he knew that. It was enough. All of us knew this day was around the corner. He entrusted you and his children to my old bones."

"You may be over thirty five hundred years old, but you dint get to call your self old with the little trick you pulled in Ossan to preserve your life. I would say you are more akin to a thousand years old… hardly maturity when compared to your race," she said with a chuckle.

Ood chuckled with her. He knew that she was hurt, but she had to get over it herself if she was not to lose the balance she had obtained. He also knew that she would be able to do that with certainty. She was one of the most stubborn individuals he had come across. Her strong belief in her convictions was what made the force choose her as an individual with the ability to bring balance to the force.

"I do not know if Poseidon will ever meet with us again. But as you said he did leave a part of him with you. A part that is both you and him… the best of the both of you combined. Do not follow in sadness… cheer up for the sake of your children."

"I know," she replied turning back to head to the little cottage in which she and Poseidon chose to live due it its proximity with the sea. "We have avoided the force wielders of this world until now because of Poseidon. Now I believe is the ideal time to learn of their culture."

"Of course," Ood agreed. "It is the reason why Bendu sent us here after all."

"I'm turning in for the night. What about you?" She asked when they had reached the cottage.

"I'll head back to the castle. It's about time you and the twins move back and make it your home like he intended you to do."

"Tomorrow," she agreed. With that Ood turned and left.

Their little house was a simple wooden cottage which provided them all the space they needed. Poseidon wished to stay near the ocean because it always drew him in. It was the one thing that provided familiarity in this foreign world. So she moved in with him after constructing it without another word.

She entered the room and sighed in relief noticing her children were still asleep. She tiptoed to kiss their brows and prepared to turn in for the night. From tomorrow everything depended on her.

Poseidon had provided them with a solid base. She and Ood will expand it to fit their requirements.

Slipping into her sleeping attire after her usual nightly rituals she sat down to meditate.

"There is no ignorance, there is knowledge… there is no fear, there is power… I am the heart of the Force… I am the revealing fire of light… I am the mystery of darkness… in balance with chaos and harmony… Immortal in the Force…"

This was the code of the Je'daii… the pilgrims of both Ashla and Bogan. From the day she adopted it as her own, she never felt so at ease.

She calmly emerged herself to the force observing and reviewing the glimpses of visions that it teased her with. She knew that she had a trying trial in front of her. She also knew that she had the best help she could have in the form of Ood and her children.

She already knew of the geography of Earth somewhat due to their various trips all around the world. She also knew some of its history. However she had to study it in depth since some of the details Poseidon provided was not applicable in this world.

Then there was the society based on force users. She was complete ignorant about it other than the fact they were bigoted and tended to lash out at anything different. This detail was given to them by Poseidon after his many run ins with them. Of corse he may have been overreacting because of his bad experiences. But it didn't hurt to be cautious.

First they needed a way into this secretive society. She meditated hoping that the force would show her a way like it had guiding her on her journey so far.

XooxooOooxooX

The next morning zFay was meditating outside the cabin enjoying the sun rays of the morning and the cool breeze that wafted over from the mirror like calm sea while waiting for the twins to wake up.

Last night, she waged a war with the two children when they woke up breaking her much needed sleep due to the stress of the past few days. She wasn't yet sure how she managed to calm them down and put them to sleep once again. They probably sensed something was off. They were particularly sensitive to their surroundings after all.

CRACK

With the sound of a gunshot the force screamed around her as a creature materialized abruptly.

Fay was on her feet without her even knowing about it. The lightsaber she had gotten while she was studying at Atollon was immediately activated. She was already in her ready stance of Form V, the firm she practiced as a youngling and padawan before dropping lightsaber combat all together. She had recently taken upon herself to retrain the form along with the other forms to for future uses.

Force teleportation was nothing new to her. She had heard on hoe Ee of Trilos use it to teleport themselves or weights below a kilogram to destinations close by. However the Ee were small only measuring about six centimetres. It was why they had the capability of teleporting as it was theorized that nothing bigger than that could survive such an effort.

The only time she had seen it in action personally was when Bendu used it once. But that was the Bendu. He was not someone you could use to describe 'normal'.

However here she was witnessing a creature which was way bigger than the Ee using teleportation casually. The worst part was that it had used this technique to bypass all the protections Poseidon laid on the island.

For the creature to execute such a technique it had to be immensely powerful. She wasn't sure how it stacked up to the Bendu, but she was ready to fight to the death if she had to in order to protect her babies. Hopefully she would buy enough time for Ood to come here and escape with her children.

'Why now, of all the time?' She thought furiously since Poseidon's departure was still fresh on her mind.

"You don'ts attack," the intruder squeaked in a high pitched voice. It waved it's tiny hands in surrender. "I not harms."

It was then she took a good look at the intruder. It had assumed a subservient position despite the mind boggling teleportation it just did. Fay didn't know what to make of it.

The creature remained her of Grandmaster Yoda. They were of similar height and had greenish skin. But it was where their similarities ended. Unlike Yoda, this creature had enormous eyes as well as big droopy ears. It had four fingers in its hand and was extremely thin. Fay was intrigued when she saw that it wore nothing but a dirty sack to cover itself. For a creature that could teleport using the force, it sure was down in the dumps.

If its appearance didn't surprise her, its force signature sure did.

Every living creature including plants had midi-chlorians in their cells. It was these tiny organisms that gave a creature the ability to live as well as connect with the force if the concentration of them were high enough. They were unique and have a specific signature depending on their species.

Some of the modern technologies could identify a person using the midi-cholrians in their blood much like a DNA test.

However the creature in front of her had no presence in the force. She could see it and feel it is she wanted to because it was tangible. Yet when she used the force to see… there was nothing in front of her. It was as if she was staring at thin air.

'How could this creature be alive?' She questioned both intrigued and afraid. She wasn't afraid that the creature could harm her. No… she was afraid that it might go after her children.

Usually the force warned a force sensitive about danger that was going to befall them. But a creature with no force presence could nullify that particular advantage. She would he helpless if it went after Perseus and Atlanta without any warning. And with the knowledge that it could come and go as it pleased despite the protections around their home it was enough for her to start to panic.

"What are you?" She asked slowly, never letting down her guard. The creature stared at the active lightsaber which was humming as if it was something it had never seen before. There was awe and excitement in its features.

"Me is house-elf," it squeaked happily. "I not attack."

It clearly wanted her to lower her guard by saying that it wasn't aggressive. It may look the part. But she didn't lower her guard even for a second. Usually bad things happened at the worst possible times.

"Sorry if I don't trust you. But you jumped through the force to this location which I believe is hidden from the rest of the world," she said warily.

"We is afraid of other man. We come when he is gone," it replied. "We try to come much sooner. He not let me in. He very powerful." It started to explain itself. Fay couldn't find heads or tails from its broken explanation.

"Other man? You mean Poseidon?" She asked slowly. There were two men on the island. The only one who had left was Poseidon… unless Ood disappeared as well during the night.

The creature bibbed its head excitedly. "I not know his name. He very powerful."

'So they were aware of us all these years. Why didn't they make themselves known? Wait… it said that Poseidon didn't let them enter. How? Never mind… Poseidon can do things we can only dream of. Maybe he had the capability to prevent them from entering. The question is why? Her mind raced trying to find answers.

"Do you know why Poseidon didn't let you in?"

"I not knows," it replied.

"What do you want?" She asked wanting to know its objectives.

"We is here to help," it squeaked nodding its massive head. Its large bat like ears flopped around quite adorably. She would have smiled if she wasn't tensed, ready to attack at the slightest movement. The creature though under danger, didn't seem to care about its fate. It looked like if it was genuinely happy to speak with her.

"Help?"

"We is house-elf. We serve to live," it replied smiling toothily.

Fay didn't feel any ill intent from it. So she slowly put down her guard. The creature was talking riddles. It was powerful in the force, true. Yet it was dressed like a beggar looking extremely downtrodden. This was a contradiction she couldn't get her mind around.

She slowly sat down on the cushion she occupied prior to the intrusion.

"Sit down, we'll talk."

Immediately the creature started to bawl out loud. She was stunned at first thinking what she had said to upset it, but immediately scowled remembering how hard she tried to put her kids to sleep.

"Not so loud," she whispered harshly. "My children are asleep. You aren't the one putting them to sleep again!"

"I is sorry," it whimpered plopping down sitting in the sand. "I have never be told to sit before a witch before."

'Another riddle,' she noticed.

"Lets begin again. Who are you and forgive me for asking this… what are you?"

The creature looked torn for a moment before schooling its emotions. It looked like it wanted to start crying out loud. But her warning was obviously working in its mind as well. "I am named Happy. We is called House-elfs."

"Tell me more about your people."

"Lady master not know of house-elfs?" The creature asked in apparent surprise. "Every witch and wizard know of house-elfs."

"I'm not knowledgable about the force sensitives of this world. So… no. Fill me in," she replied.

This was an ideal time to find out more about the force sensitives of this word. Though it sounded like this Happy was linguistically challenged, it was sure to know about their world. Luckily she took time to learn the prevalent language of this world thanks to Poseidon. Otherwise talking to it would have been an arduous task.

She looked towards the centre of the island in the direction where their home was located. Hopefully Ood had noticed the intrusion as well and was on his way here. Knowing him, he would wait until it was absolutely necessary for him to emerge. Otherwise he would stay hidden letting her do all the work much like at Atollon.

"What is force?" It questioned.

She raised her eyebrow. Usually all sensitives knew what they were utilizing for their abilities. "Force… the one you used to pop out of nowhere."

"Lady master mean magic?" Happy asked with a frown. "I not know force. Happy know magic."

"Magic?" She questioned back.

She knew that some civilization thought that force sensitives as witches and wizards. But those were rather backward societies who were yet to join the galactic fold or extremist groups that wanted to hold on to power.

"Magic is what all wizards use," it replied enthusiastically.

"What can they do with it?"

"They can make things fly, change wood into animals, create potions for everything…" the creature started to rattle out uses for 'magic' using the knowledge it had. Fay listened on intently hiding the surprise at how almost magical some of these force abilities sounded.

'Magic indeed, she thought. See of their abilities were considered long lost or had never been developed before. Even to a fully trained Jedi these abilities would sound magical.

What intrigued her the most that force teleportation was quite common in this world. In fact every force sensitive had the ability to use it. It was called apparition here. Apparition was one of the main forms of transportation here it seems. There was another technique Happy called portkeys although Happy didn't know how it was done.

The elf chatted all the things the magicians of this world did which it knew of. She listened on without interrupting until Happy was finished.

"Have I be a good house-elf? Can I serve lady master?" Happy questioned looking at her beseechingly once it was done saying everything it knew. Its large eyes peered at her. What she saw was fear. Happy was afraid to get no for an answer.

"Why do you want to serve?" She asked since it was so keen in being a servant. She remembered that he or she said that they needed to serve to survive.

"We house-elfs must serve a witch or wizard to live. Otherwise our magic dry up and we die,"

"What?" She exclaimed completely caught off guard. She knew throughout the history there were certain races enslaved in order to provide cheap labour by a more advanced species. Eventually those races rose up in rebellion overthrown their masters. It was a cycle that couldn't be averted no matter how hard certain groups tried to created the perfect slave.

Here, hidden far away from the rest of the galaxy, in a world that would be considered backwater people a group of force users had accomplished what many Sith Lords dreamt of.

'Or were they evolved like that?' She thought thinking of another possibility.

Evolution was a mysterious phenomenon that no one could truly understand. You can guess from what a species evolved from and how it will evolve further. But the true origin of species are always up to debate.

If house elves were naturally evolved life forms then they would be a sentient symbiotic species. That itself was a subject of intrigue.

If it was indeed a person who had created them artificially for their selfish needs she was appalled and disgusted that a person would stoop to such a low level.

"We are happy to help for magic in return," Happy exclaimed.

"But don't you wish for your freedom?"

"With freedom, we die. We want to live."

She knew that she wouldn't be getting answers for her inquiries from Happy. Though Happy seemed to be enthusiastic to answer her questions, he or she was woefully ignorant. She reminded herself to broach this subject with someone more knowledgeable.

"So what do you want?" She inquired.

"Lady master, I want to serve," Happy declared again.

"How can you serve?" She inquired.

"Me is good for all kinds of duties. Cooking, washing, sweeping, protecting. I can do many things for lady master."

Fay was honestly tempted. It was just her, Ood and her infants living in the island right now. Poseidon usually took care of everything from food to all their needs while he was here through his powers. Now that he had… gone, she and Ood haven't even decided on how to acquire food or other daily needs.

They could hunt. They could also forage the forests for food. There were more than plenty wildlife in the island. It had a fully developed ecosystem despite being resurfaced for less than fifteen years thanks to Poseidon who transported them from all around the world reshaping the island to fit his desires.

If Happy could help in those tasks, her life would be much easier. She could focus on her priorities without having to worry about their daily needs.

Happy could also maintain their home. Not the cottage. But the one Poseidon built which he claimed he had remodelled after Atlantis; the legendary country under the sea which Poseidon ruled with his family. She had yet to name it for Poseidon left that task to her seeing that it was she who was going to call it home.

It wasn't just a castle. It was a full-blown palace complex that could comfortably home several hundred thousand individuals with enough room to make it look desolate. It was breath taking, she would give him that. It was one of the most striking pieces of architecture in the entire galaxy. What she loved about it was that how entwined with the nature it was. Open pavilions… lots of natural lighting and airflow… it looked just like a heavenly abode in fairytales.

Even after five years of knowing about it, she and Ood had yet to explore its entirety.

Currently only one section was in use which housed their temporary quarters and the sections that Ood declared was the library and the vault in which he housed all the items he recovered from Ossus… which was a lot.

She promised Ood to move back to the palace complex last night. The truth was that she was afraid that the twins might go off wandering and get lost somewhere she couldn't reach. It was why he was postponing the move.

However it would all change if she had more help.

"Do you get any other benefits other than your lifespan from serving me?" She questioned wanting to know everything behind the agreement before committing to it.

"I get to use magic again," it squeaked.

"But you came here with magic," he noted.

"I haves little magic. Once its gone, I die," it claimed.

"So did you serve someone before?"

"No lady master. Many of my kind can't find work. We are only allowed to work for old families and safe places to keep magic secret. But most old families don't want more than one elf," it replied sadly. "They think we is leeching magic from them. Many elfs die with no magic."

"How did you survive until now then?"

"My kind help each other by sharing little magic they have. It won't many of us will die. We can haves no children anymores."

Fay was finally moved. By taking it in she was helping Happy to live. She knew that there was more to the story seeing that this symbiotic species were treated as slaves. However she was not taking in a slave. She was forming a symbiotic relationship with Happy, like it was meant to be.

"What do I have to do?" She asked Happy.

"Master want me to bond to herself or her home?" Happy questioned looking thrilled at the prospect of finding a master at last.

"What's the difference?"

"If I bond to master, I will become personal elf. Only can have one personal elf. We can bond to home if it is where power gathers. Then many can serve."

'Where power gathers?'

"What do you think is the best?" She asked as she had no clue on the ritual or the preference of the house-elves.

"The place there is good," Happy said pointing towards the centre of the island in the direction where their home was located. "This place has more magic than anywhere I has know."

"Alright… what do I need to do?"

"We needs to go there where magic gather," Happy replied.

"Wait a moment then," she said standing up.

If she was going inland, she was not going to leave the twins behind. Who knows what trouble they would get themselves into if they woke up by chance. They shad just started crawling and she was always surprised when she left the two unsupervised. They had to be the most hyper kids in the galaxy.

Once she found them throwing balls of water at each other screaming happily. She hadn't even left them alone for five minutes. Poseidon found it endearing but she loved then and there to never leave them unsupervised.

Poseidon said that it was due to their ADHD, something that every demigod had which served them as a sixth sense during battle. Hopefully they would grow calmer as they grow up. Otherwise she could see herself growing grey hairs prematurely.

She quickly picked the two sleeping children putting them into their harness.

Looking around she couldn't see any valuables lying around. All of those potentially dangerous items should they be misplaced were transported to the castle and locked inside its vaults until the time came.

She was little bit on edge seeing Happy's abrupt appearance. Who knew who else could come and go in such a manner bypassing the protections? She trusted Poseidon but he was not one of this galaxy. There ought to be things he was unaware of.

Happy looked positively jubilant when it saw her two children. Fay did not hand them over despite Happy's insistence to hold the 'little masters'. She would wait until she was absolutely certain before handing Happy the responsibility of the twins. Deep within, she already trusted the house elf. The force was neutral without giving her any warnings. It was just her maternal instincts that denied the elf the chance to hold her children for now.

It didn't take long for them to walk to the palace. Happy stopped right in front of the gates staring at the complex in wonderment. Fay understood its awe. Even she was still awed by its size and beauty despite seeing it many times.

"It is beautiful," the elf commented. "Happy will be busy with this place."

"Where do you want to go?" She asked looking at the toy creature.

"Comes," Happy said taking her hand in its and leading her inside.

Happy's hand though looked course and calloused was surprisingly soft. Fay didn't object as the elf pulled her through the winding passageways to the main hall of the central palace.

"What do we have here?" A male voice interrupted them as they walked.

"Ood," she replied with little relief. "Why didn't you come earlier?" She asked a little miffed that she was left to deal with the intruder on her own while protecting her children.

"The little Huy is of no danger to us," Ood replied calmly. "Had it posed danger, you know I would be the first to face it."

"Yeah… yeah. I believe you heard our entire conversation?"

"Yes. Fascinating isn't it? A symbiotic species that depend on the force of the person or place it is bonded to… who knows what else this world has to offer?"

"You don't object?" She asked surprised that Ood was ok with her taking in a 'slave'.

"I dont have any objections. I know that you wont treat it as a slave… and I also know that it needs this to survive. So why worry?"

Fay nodded. "Come. Happy seems to be heading towards the main hall."

"Alright. Here… let me have the twins."

Fay passed on her children to Ood who could carry them easily by growing few branched to act as extra arms.

Soon they entered the expansive hall with giant pillars holding the roof above them. Thankfully it was still morning with the sun shining brightly outside. Otherwise this region would be in pitch dark since they didn't have any sort of lighting system going on since they lacked electricity.

Happy walked to the centre and stopped.

"We cans do ritual heres," Happy declared. "Here is gathering of many magic lines. So powerful," the elf whispered the last part with a look of reverence.

Fay had no idea what it was talking of and from the looks neither did Ood. It was added to the things they had to research regarding the force on this planet.

Happy cut her palm open with her sharp nails and started to draw on the ground. The drawing was of a circle with two meters diameter. All around the edges of the circle it scribbled pictures and from the looks of it letters. Fay had no idea what these runes were. She had never come across them during her journeys.

"Can I haves some bloods of masters of this land?" Happy turned to them when the edges of the runic circle was done.

"All of us?" Ood questioned it.

"You ares masters of this island are you not? I needs your bloods to confirms the oath," Happy explained.

Fay was reluctant. Blood was often used by the Sith for dark rituals. She was extremely wary of them because she almost was a subject of these rituals. Eventually she relented because she could feel no ill intent coming from Happy. Furthermore the force seemed to push her to do so.

She slowly cut her finger and dripped a drop of blood onto Happy's outstretched hands and stepped back. Ood stepped forward and donated a drop of blood as well.

"Little masters?" Happy questioned Fay.

"Do you need their blood as well?"

"To make oath more powerful, yes," it agreed.

Fay reluctantly pricked the fingers of her children who at some point had awakened. They looked on In interest without making a peep which was almost unlike them. The twins whimpered when she pricked their fingers. She used the force healing on them at the same time to make them feel no pain.

Their drops of blood were soon collected by Happy.

Using their blood, Happy finished drawing the circle. Fay had to admit that it was an intricate piece of work. Standing on the centre, Happy started to chant in some unknown language waving its hands animatedly.

Suddenly the circle started to glow and Fay felt something. It was a bond… a connection through the force between her and Happy.

She had heard about force bonds. They were extremely rare occurrences in the Jedi order formed between Masters and their padawans. The bond brought them closer enabling to feel each other even when they are systems apart. It was seen as the ultimate form of trust between the two parties.

She had heard about how this bond enabled one party to tell when the other was in danger.

She had never experienced it because she hadn't taken in a pupil for herself. Yet she had experienced such a bond with a mother person… the father of her children. She could instantly tell that the bond she had with Poseidon and her children was much stronger and more profound than the one she had just formed with Happy.

As soon as she felt the bond, the glowing runic circle died down and the circle itself disappeared.

She looked at Happy and was shocked at the transformation. The Happy she knew previously was slightly hunched and looked frail with wrinkles all over her body. Now… it stood straight filled with unbound vitality.

It was now that she could finally sense Happy through the force.

"Well… that was different," Ood declared.

"You don't say," she snarked back.

"I now serves Master Fay, Master Bnar and little masters Persus and 'Lanta" Happy cried joyfully.

"I didn't tell you my name… and it's Perseus and Atlanta," Fay corrected Happy.

"Pereus and Atanta?" Happy asked cocking her head to the side.

"Never mind," Fay sighed. It couldn't pronounce multi syllable names due to its speech impediment. She would leave it for her children to handle in the future. It would be entertaining to watch the correct the elf. "And how did you find my name?"

"Magic told me about master."

'Another thing to research' she sighed. The force here was far too complicated to understand. It defied logic.

"I tell master something?"

"Dont call me master," Fay declared. She felt wrong when Happy called her 'master' like a slave would to its owner. She was against salvery, often taking a strong stance against those who practised it. She only took in Happy because it was of a symbiotic race that needed her help to live.

"I calls you Master Fay?" The house elf inquired

Fay consented. "What did you want to tell me? And what is your gender by the way?"

"I is female," Happy declared. "I want to say master must get more elfs to keep this place in order. This place has more than enough magic to house more than five hundred elfs."

"Do you have any friends who are willing to come?" Ood questioned. He was sympathetic about the plight of this species. He wanted to help them as much as he could. If they could live off the magic in this place, he was open to have every elf he could find.

"Of course Master Bnar," Happy said popping away with a crack before Ood or Fay could even reply.

"Happy is quite enthusiastic, isn't she?" Ood said with a laugh when he finally recovered from Happy's abrupt departure.

"You don't say," she said agin rolling her eyes. Even she was caught off guard despite a little familiar with Happy's odd quirks. "Might as well settle down in our room before she comes back," she said to Ood taking the twins off his care.

XooxooOooxooX

Happy didn't bring just one or two house elves. Instead she brought over eighty. All of them underwent the same ritual using the rune circle Happy drew which somehow materialized each and every time an elf wanted to bond.

Being the first one that bonded with her and their home, Fay elected Happy to be the leader of all the other elves who jumped at the opportunity to serve in their home. With Happy in charge of the day to day activities, she could rest easy focussing on what really mattered.

The first demand she made was them to find better clothes for themselves after she learnt that presenting the clothes herself was a symbol of her kicking them out. She had quite a headache calming the group of elves when she suggested it not knowing what it meant.

They agreed on this condition after they understood that they were going to search for better clothes themselves.

The House elves quickly organized themselves by dividing the tasks available.

A group elected themselves as the permanent cleaning staff. Fay was amazed at how industrious they were in keeping the place spick and span. Most of the palace complex had gathered dust after years of neglect since neither she nor Poseidon wanted to clean it. Instead they opted to stay in the small cabin they erected for themselves. Ood was cooped up in the library sorting the knowledge like it had been in the Great Library on Ossus. Even after five years, he had yet to complete that task.

Some of the sections of the complex still had rubble and chucks of rock in them from the time of the palace's creation.

The elves were extremely industrious as they cleaned up the place spick and span within a few days. After it she had yet to see a single speck of dust lying about. Their home looked like it had gotten a brand new make over.

Another group elected themselves for kitchen duty. Currently there was only her who had to eat three times a day. Ood was satisfied with one meal per day since he could photosynthesize the energy he needed. The twins were still not ready for solid foods. Fay was amazed at how creative the elves were in making food. They could make almost any dish in this world with no problem. Even the dishes she described to them were created marvellously.

Another group organized themselves to clean the forests nearby to cultivate fields and farms for rearing animals. Within three days she had seen several cows, sheep, goat and other livestock in the enclosed pens they had created. The fields were coming along well too. Because it was a rather arduous tasks, other elves who had completed their duties helped this group out whenever they could.

Happy and Chery were chosen by the elves as the caretakers of the family looking into their daily needs.

To Fay's indignation Happy appointed herself to take care of 'Master Percy' and 'Mistress Lanta' denying her the joys of taking care of her children like she used to. She was shooed away from their side whenever the twins cried for one reason or another. When she insisted, Happy broke into tears blaming herself for not taking care of the children properly.

It was hard to find the perfect way to communicate with the elves since they often broke down emotionally blaming and punishing themselves whenever she volunteered for something or made a suggestion to make lighten their burden.

Finally she was able to come to an agreement with the two elves. She was in charge of their meals and on occasion their baths while the two elves were left to handle everything else. They could feed them whenever she was otherwise occupied.

To her amusement the elves came up with a method to keep her from doing any of the chores of her children. During the meal times, one elf would distract her by any mean possible while the other quickly began feeding them. When she returned to the twins, they were already taken care of. She didn't say anything for she knew that the two would break down in tears.

Luckily the twins seemed to be interested in the elves. Otherwise knowing them, they would have cried bloody murder.

Over the course of the next week she got to know more about the elves and their lives.

To her relief Fay found out that it was due to a specific brand of magic the house elves were able to come and go through the protections Poseidon placed on the island. Apparently Poseidon had been more than a little paranoid about their protection. He had taken nothing to chance when creating the defences. His mere presence ad repelled the lives when they tried to enter the island all the while he was here. The elves were able to enter through the wards once this repulsion was gone.

It made sense. Poseidon was afraid to be exposed to the people of this world. He had already been under attack from several force users ever since he had arrived in this planet. He didn't want their conflict to escalate. He was not afraid of them for he could vanquish them all with impunity. However the incident would have caused irreversible damage to the flow of events of this world. He, an outsider didn't wish to pollute the time stream with his presence.

The island was the answer to hide away waiting for his time. It was during this time she and Ood met him. The force directed her to stick with him, so she did. Poseidon was instrumental in teaching her about Earth since it was almost identical to his planet. He had taken her around the world, avoiding the magical communities, educating her of the places and people. However they took a lot of detours after they had gotten to know each other a lot which was not for educational purposes.

Their time was mostly spent with him telling her about his world and his story from the time of his birth and studying the hoard of holocrons she and Ood had with them. Poseidon's story intrigued her. He was more than happy to retell any tale when she requested.

She remembered the pride on his face when he recounted the heroics of his mortal children. He took great pride in their achievements boasting as if they were own. The stories that most intrigued her were of Atlanta and Perseus. She didn't and couldn't get tired even after listening them hundreds of times.

She distinctly remembered her conversation with Happy once she returned with her friends who were looking for work.

FLASHBACK

"Happy," she called the elf after the children were put to sleep. The other elves had eagerly started to explore the palace complex and the island to get to know it better. She had never seen such an excited bunch in her life. While they were heading out to explore, they were talking on ways to make things better be it cleaning or decorating.

All of them underwent the ritual. Like Happy, all of them bound themselves to the island using the same ritual. When she inquired Happy of their choice in binding themselves to the island she was more than happy to answer her.

It turns out that the ritual that Happy enacted was an extremely rare one done only in places where the ambient magic was extremely high. Instead of bonding to an individual in which case they had to renew their oath each time a new person became the family head, this way they could make this island their home. They wouldn't have to go look for new master when need arose since they were taking care of the island which was stable. They and their children wouldn't be separated when their master didn't want anything to do with more than one elf.

They would show their allegiance to the people who provided blood for the ritual.

"Master Fay," the little elf exclaimed running towards her enthusiastically. "What do you wish Lady master? Shall I bring something to drink? Perhaps you is hungry?"

Fay had to admit, the little elf was nothing if not eager to please.

"No, I wanted to ask you something. Can anyone breach into the island like you did?" She was filled with trepidation as she waited for the answer. The answer would decide many things to come.

An isolated island which hadn't existed a decade prior was something that would ruse the interest of anyone. People looking for opportunity would swarm in to take any advantage they could find. If they were caught in the middle of this, she couldn't guarantee the safety of her and her children.

She knew that she and Ood was more than capable of eliminating few of these witches and wizards. However it didn't matter if an army came knocking down their shores.

"No, no… Master Fay. This place, no one can find. It is more safe than Gringotts. You no needs to worry," she squeaked waving her hands animatedly.

"Gringotts?" She questioned lost since she didn't know the meaning of the word.

"Gringotts is wizarding bank. It is run by goblins, it is. There is no place more safe than goblin bank. They guard gold like clutching dragons. No one has stolen from them and got away safely."

From the little she understood of the force based society of Earth, it was rather reclusive. They had distanced themselves from the entire world living in an completely isolated community hidden in the shadows.

She marked Gringotts as another place she had to visit. She would need the assistance of these goblins in the near future.

"So how did you get in?"

"We house elfs have different magics. We can go places where others cannot. Unless you guard the place against us, we can come and go as we like. You did not have another elf to stop me from coming. So I came."

"You are saying that unless we actively protect the island, other elves can come in?"

"You can guards with wards. But now with Happy and others, no house elf can come in without us knowing. We catch any intruder at once," Happy declared proudly.

"Hmmm… wards… this place's force techniques are on a league of their own. I need to study them as soon as possible," she muttered to herself.

"Is there anything else that can get through the protections?" She questioned.

"I thinks phoenixes can," Happy replied after thinking for a moment. "They can take take their partners to places where one cant go. They is rare. Not many have them for pets."

Fay nodded in relief. Her fear had been unfounded. She should have known that Poseidon wouldn't leave anything to chance. May be it was his intention for the elves to come in to serve her and make her life much easier.

"Happy, you can go anywhere right?"

"If not guarded, yes I can. Big distances takes times," she replied.

"Can you find me books about this world? I need history, their political and technological scales."

"Lady Fay wants muggle things?" Happy questioned in bewilderment.

"What is a muggle," she sighed at the lack of her knowledge in this worlds terminology.

"Muggles not have magic," Happy replied still puzzled at her mistress. "Is Lady Fay not know of this?"

If she wanted the elves' help, she needed to come clear about certain things. She could see that keeping secrets from them would only hamper her progress. She rapidly organized what she thought she ought to reveal.

"Happy… you cannot tell another should of the things I'm about to tell you. Promise?"

"Happy guards Master Fay's secrets. Good elves not blab their master's secrets," Happy promised.

Then she began to tell Happy her story on how she wound on Earth.
