A Journey Through the Unknown

 

                                               Chapter One – The Beginning

"Where is he!?"  Cried Harry. "What is it that he wanted to tell me that's so important?"

"Shush Harry.  You'll wake up everyone." Said Hermoine.  "Don't you know how to keep your mouth shut?"

"Both of you be quite, he's here."  Exclaimed Ron.  With this all three of them dashed to the front of the fireplace where they saw the back of the head of Harry's godfather, Sirius Black.  All three of them waited till he turned around before they all chorused "Hi!"

"Hi you guys.  Listen closely I don't have much time," said Sirius.  "Now Harry it's not safe for you to stay in this realm ever since Lord Voldemort came back to power.  I have found a way to keep you safe in another realm where you are also needed."

"What realm Sirius?  What are you talking about?" asked Harry.

"Please Harry I don't have much time.  You can't interrupt me."

"Sorry."  He mumbled.

"Now," Sirius continued, "this portal can only open on Friday the 13th.  That is this Friday.  Listen very closely because you must do exactly what I say."  The three heads nodded in union. "On that night you must get to the top of the north tower before midnight. You guys must not be seen so Harry you have to use your invisibility clothe.   When you reach the tower, you should see a sphere of white and blue light.  That is the portal door.  When you have crossed over you will meet a man named Sir Myles.  He will watch over you and explain what you are there for."  Sirius looks quickly behind him and then faces the three again.  He says hurriedly, "Harry my time here is almost up.  Remember to do exactly what I said.  Bring your invisibility clothe, wands, and your broom with you.  And anything else you might need.  Sir Myles will answer all your questions once you get there.  Oh and Harry, I love you."

"I love you too Snuffles." He replied with a smile on his face.  Sirius smile in return and then vanished from the fire.  Harry, Ron, and Hermiones turned to each other with questioning looks on their faces. 

"What realm do you think he's talking about?"  Asked Hermione looking back into the fire.

"I don't know, but what do think it will be like?" asked Ron.

"I don't know what is going to be like or what realm it is, all I know is that we have all week to think about it and I want to get some sleep." Said Harry.  With that they all went up to their dorms to think over what Sirius said and to get some sleep in that night.

Mean while in Tortall, we see Sir Myles in his study staring into the fire.  As we take a closer look, we once again see Sirius's face.  The two men are in a deep conversation. 

"…I've set it up so that when the time comes the portal will open up right here in my study." Says Sir Myles.

"Thank you so much Myles.  I've been worried sick that something will happen to Harry while Lord Voldemore is running about regaining his strength."  Replied Sirius.

"It sounds like this Lord Voldemore is a very strong…. wizard, is that what you call people with the Gift?"

"Yes that's right.  And you call them Mages?" Myles nods and he continues. "Well anyways, they will be arriving on this Friday, the 13th.  Again I thank you for taking my godson in your hands."

"Is it only him that is coming?  Will there be any others?"  

"In fact I do think that his two friends are coming with him.  Their names are Ron and Hermione.  Yes they are also wizards." 

"OK then I'll be sure to take care of all of them.  I hope they can help us with this war though."  

"I don't know if they can help but it's worth a shot.  I'm sure they'll try to help.  They have good hearts.  Well I have to go now I think the tenants are coming back.  I'll talk to you soon.  Goodbye."

"Goodbye and don't worry, their in good hands."

Riding with the Third Company, is no other than Keladry of Mindelan.  She is finally a Lady Knight and on her quest to stop the vision that she has seen while in the Chamber of the Ordeal.  That vision still haunts her at night with the picture of the scrawny man and the pile of dead children. Who would do such a thing to children? Kel often asked herself this. Whoever that man is, he's going to…. Some one interrupted her thoughts.

"Um Lady Keladry, this is for you."  Said a messenger meekly handing an envelope to Kel. Kel nodded her thanks to the messenger and looked over the envelope as the messenger left.  She recognized the seal of that of Sir Myles.  Why would he be sending me a letter? she thought to herself. Maybe he has found out what those machines are?  We do need the help.  With that Kel opened the letter and read to herself. 

Dear Kel,

         I think I might have found a way to help us win this war against Scanra. I've got a few friends that are coming that may be able to help us.  They have extraordinary powers.  I won't say anymore just incase this gets in the wrong hands.  I need, however, to talk to you in person.  I have also written to Neal and Cleon is already here.  Would you please come back to Corus before the 13th?  I know this is short notice but I really need to talk to you.  Please hurry.

Sir Myles.

Kel folded up the letter and thought to herself. What did he find?  Who are these friends that are visiting him with extraordinary powers?  She shrugged it off At least I get to see Cleon, I haven't seen him in weeks, and went to tell Raoul that she was leaving for a little while in the morning.
