Author's Notes: Well, this is an entirely new screw up, but it ought to be interesting at least. Getting back into some of my old obsessions, I present you my latest universal collision. Read it and weep, laugh, congratulate or flame me. I welcome all comers. *Crazed laughter.* Note, I gave up on translating anything into Egyptian since I can't find a complete translator for it any fucking where on the 'net that doesn't charge me for it. Hell, translating it from Arabic letters to English ones was a pain in the ass…

Sa-Ba-Ka
By: BlackLadyCharon
Prolouge
The wheel of fate spins, a Ka is mended by a Ba, no longer mortal, forever bound in servitude. But what of the mortal part? Discarded, no longer protecting or protected by two thirds of itself, what happens to the Sa of that shattered mage?
What becomes of the mortal part just as bound by fate and duty? The shell left behind, with only the dregs of its magic and spirit and blood. Mere instinct, without rhyme or reason? What happens to that final third?
What indeed?
Godric's Hollow, All Hallow's Eve, 19XXThe child self pulled at the bars, forcing his chubby frame upright, staring. He sensed something. Something tainted, cruel and rapacious and ever hungry, and it was coming closer. He knew that he didn't like things like that, they made everything so much more complicated. Complicated for him, for others, and they made messes too. He knew that he was in charge of cleaning up messes tainted things made. Tainted Ka's, tainted Ba's, even tainted Sa's, they were all the same in the end. Then Mama came, screaming and crying, and the tainted one came as well.
"Not Harry! Please not Harry!" He could have told her that the tainted one wasn't going to listen to hysterical crying. It was tainted, after all. Even cleansing wouldn't work on this one, but he had no words in her language. Even the few half clear words he'd managed in what he remembered as his language didn't translate well into this one. And the tainted one, its soul carved into bloody ruins, lost interest and patience with Mama, and blasted her. Then it looked at him. He bared his teeth, reaching out for words, not in sound but in mind.
'ʻĀlm az-Zlāl Fy Hdhh as-Sā'h ash-Shfq' al-Āstmā' 'Lá Rghbty Wmnh Ly as-Slţh…' The tainted one raised a stick at him, acid green light flaring.
"Avada Kedavra!" In the instant that the spell should have struck, a killing blow if his eyes told him true, his cry was answered. The other interposed itself, the spell slashing through it and gashing his face, causing him to wail in insulted fury as it advanced, hissing curses and promises toward the tainted one, who was firing spell upon spell to harm it, weakening the structure of the house around him instead. The other smiled, cold and razor sharp and 5000 thousand YEARS since he'd last spoken and oh how it hurt but it was what he needed to do to get rid of this tainted one until he was strong enough to start piecing himself back together and deal with him once and for all…
"Dāku mahō kōgeki."
And the roof came down upon them.
TBC…
Ending notes: Yes, it's short, but it's a prologue, not the whole bloody thing in one go. I'm not that crazy, to try and do a story that bridges that much in one go, or one chapter.
Translations:
Ālm az-Zlāl Fy Hdhh as-Sā'h ash-Shfq' al-Āstmā' 'Lá Rghbty Wmnh Ly as-Slţh - In this world of shadows at twilight, listening to my desire and giving me the authority, which was as close as I could get to 'Realm of Shadows in this twilight hour, hear my wish and grant me power', according to several Arabic translation sites
Dāku mahō kōgeki – Dark Magic attack, in Japanese according to Google translator. I think the damned thing screwed up, but I'm not in the mood to chase the bloody phrase down properly…
