YR: I'm trying somethings completely new with this one, don't worry dear slash fans there will still be gay lovin' so you can all relax. I have not done a Lord of the Rings/Harry Potter crossover ever simply for the fact I have never read LotR. I have read HP don't worry, it should be obvious in my works anyway! For shame not reading my other stuff! No I'm only kidding. Anyway since this is completely knew to me I would thrive on pointers and opinions. Just let me know where I can improve so I can. Unless you suggest het as the main pairing, I'll still keep Aragorn with Arwen...I think I spelled it wrong... THAT'S WHAT I'M TALKING ABOUT! Just know that I need help so just keep up with me.
Harry: Soooo when are you actually starting and what's actually happening in this one? You never told me.
YR: Actually my plan for this went through at least eight changes but I kept the main plot point. You'll see what happens in a minute.
Harry: Well alright I trust you.
YR: Yay! You trust me! (does a little dance)
Harry: Well you haven't been too harsh with me so I'll trust you with this.
YR: Yes! (arm pump of victory)
Harry: (laughs) Yes well, Yami Ryo does not own Harry Potter or Lord of the Rings.
Legolas: Hello.
Harry: Oh! Hi Legolas! I didn't know she recruited you for this.
Legolas: Yes, she seemed very determined so I thought 'why not'.
YR: Let's get started now I'm sure everyones annoyed with us by now.
Harry & Legolas: Right!
Chapter One
The Sleeping Angel
Deep within a dense forest was a cave so hidden by foliage none would be able to find it unless they knew it was there or they fell upon it. The tunnel that lead to its depths were made of deep black glossed stone that seemed to absorb all light and hold it giving it a deceptively reflective sheen. Deep in the bowels where no light from the outside world could go a glorious multicolored light shone softly. Deeper in a tall very aged man sat staring forlornly at the largest crystal that could possibly be in existence.
The man was old with a silver long beard that reached the waist of his dusty gray robes a pointed hat lain discarded at his side, a long wooden staff held loosely in his hands. His old eyes glowed with his grief as he gazed upon the beautiful being trapped within the beautiful crystal. Many smaller crystals of many colors jutted from various places around him but all coming together to protect the beautiful multicolored crystal in the center against the back wall.
Inside the beautiful crystal a beautiful being slept peacefully. The being was pale as moonlight, hair as black as the ebony stones of the cave walls and reaching the being's ankles in long flowing silk, lips full and red as the sweetest human blood, a face more beautiful than any human, elf, dwarf, angel, or other humanoid, and a body so slender and frail looking it called for the strongest protections. Yet power rolled off this being though they slept. Waves of it poured into the earth itself and gave it life to flourish and power to conceal.
"I am so sorry my boy. If I had only known what they would do to you...my angel, my grandson. I should have stopped them." The man whispered in his grief tears falling from old guilty eyes. "If I had known! Oh Harry. I am so sorry!" The man pleaded with the sleeping being seeking forgiveness for a wrong so terrible he could not bring himself to speak it.
You see, both these beings were from a world with magic so wonderful and so hidden that it seemed a world within a world. On the surface such a place seemed so wonderful and welcoming but it was a farce for the people within were cruel and selfish. They spread their petty hatred and prejudice so widely that there was simply no room for love.
The boy within the crystal Harry James Potter was pulled into that world blinded by rose colored glasses and never saw the true ugliness until it was too late. He was so far in he could not escape. The people of that world dragged him in and used him as their pawn to kill the monster they had created. To kill Tom Marvolo Riddle also know to them as Lord Voldemort they pushed him and made him famous and infamous to pressure him into what they knew he would have to do.
The man on the ground begging forgiveness was no different. Whether he meant to or not he turned the unwilling boy into a pawn and weapon. When the boy changed into what he truly was, the true form of purity and light the world that seemed so wonderful shunned him for his beautiful wings, loving nature, and purifying light. When he purified and freed Tom Riddle's soul unable to murder in cold blood they did the unthinkable.
They tore his beautiful white feathered wings from his back.
They tore his wings from him and banished in to another realm. The old mournful wizard followed after him in his guilt and grief. The old man was far to naïve to protect the boy. He had wanted to believe so badly that their own kind were good and would love him for saving them and for the wonderful being he truly was but they had not and he could only grieve in his guilt.
The boy in his pain and despair locked himself away within the crystals and deep beneath the ever changing new world they had been sent to. While the old man with so many names he was not sure which one was truly his anymore traveled and searched for a way to bring back the innocent boy's wings and cease the pain the boy felt when awake. He was close as well. He could feel it in his heart. Soon he would be able to find what it was his dearest child needed and he would get it for him, whatever it took.
He only hoped that it would be soon.
YR: There, let me know what you think. Feel free to vote for pairings. In case it wasn't obvious by the way that was Gandalf and he's actually Dumbledore.
Harry: I thought you did well.
Legolas: But it was so sad! (hugs Harry) I hope you get your wings back.
Harry: (accepts friendly hug with a smile) You know Yami would never do anything terrible to me for such a long time.
Legolas: I'm new here so I don't really know.
YR: Ya, I have a soft spot for Harry and Naru-chan. Couldn't keep them miserable if I tried. (sighs forlornly)
Harry: I'm glad for that! Anyway, be sure to leave a review!
