Prologue:
Harry dodged the sickly yellow light and fired a disarming spell back at Lucius Malfoy. It was blocked by a shielding charm. Lucius looked at him, "Give me the prophecy boy, and maybe I'll spare you." He held out his hand expectantly.
Harry shook his head, "I don't know why you want it, but you aren't capable of doing good. I won't give you something that might hurt others!"
Malfoy's face grew angry and his wand arm snapped in an arc, "Avada Kedavra!"
Harry's eyes widened in shock as the green light sped at him. He tried jumping to the side, but found himself unable to move. The green light hit him and he flew backwards, right into a large shelf full of time turners. They busted open just as his soul was forced out of his body. The sands encased his spirit as his dead body fell to the ground.
His spirit was whisked away, and it felt like he was going through a speeding tunnel. Colors and lights flew by him, until he finally landed on something hard. He looked around and found himself on the ground in an empty clearing. He shakily stood and brushed the dirt off his clothes.
He heard voices to the right and turned to find the sound. He was met with two men that were talking in a foreign language. He was confused to find that they were wearing very outdated clothes that looked to be in a Japanese style. He walked up to them and tried tapping one on the shoulder. His hand went right through and he pulled it back, confused. He tried yelling at them and they didn't seem to notice him. It was like he was just watching a scene, like the time from the pensieve last year.
All of a sudden, they yelled and pointed behind him. He whipped around and his eyes widened when he saw a huge monster coming at them. The men ran as fast as they could in the opposite direction. He spun, trying to follow them. He felt himself get grabbed up into the air and he cried out as he felt himself being squeezed tightly.
He was turned and saw the monster looking at him. The thing spoke, "Ahh… A tasty little spirit for snack. Tell me, little spirit, how do you taste?"
His breathing picked up in terror and he stared at the thing with wide eyes. The monster chuckled, "A silent one, eh? It's no use not speaking to me. You'll die either way."
At this, he squeezed tighter and Harry felt his ribs creak from the strain. One of them snapped and pierced his lung. He let out a muffled scream of pain as blood sprayed from his mouth. He felt a shock of accidental magic speed through him and the creature dropped him with a cry of surprise.
He felt himself falling and then he landed in a spray of liquid as he hit the pond beneath him, disrupting the reflection of the moon on the surface. The creature bellowed in anger and slammed his clawed hand down onto the wizard, pushing him deeper into the water.
It lifted its claws with a swipe, shredding the body of the teenager below it in a spray of blood. Suddenly a black cloud of energy formed where the green-eyed wizard had been killed. The energy formed into a new shape. Glowing yellow eyes snapped open and looked at the creature in anger.
The creature looked at his supposed snack in surprise and then charged at him. Harry felt something distort around him like ripples and the creature's claw went through him like he was made of smoke. He jumped up above the creature's head and swung his hand in an arc. A wave of black energy flew from his hand and cut the creature in two down the middle.
He landed just as the creature dissolved into a cloud of black smoke. Once he was sure the thing was dead, he went over to the water once more. He looked down at the reflection in satisfaction. Glowing yellow eyes rested in a nicely tanned face with red markings right below his eyes. His eyes had also become more narrowed. He was about a foot taller and he had a well-defined chest peeking through a loose Japanese dress, yukata, he thought to himself. His hair was long with a yellow hue on top and black on bottom. It had black marking running through the top half and it seemed to defy gravity.
He turned away and looked up at the moon. The first Nurarihyon had been created.
