Prologue
Author's Note
My first try at a fanfiction please review. Advice and corrections are welcome. Please ignore some misprint or grammetical mistakes. This will be an AU story with characters, plots and pieces from Harry potter, Dresden files, Naruto, Bleach etc.
Prologue is in Aurora's point of view. Mostly it will be Harry Potter's pov unless mentioned. Story starts at the last of war in Summer Knight by Jim Butcher, when Dresden is about to kill Aurora.
Harry Dresden will be referred by Dresden and Harry Potter by Harry.
I own nothing of the above mentioned pieces of literature they belong to their respective authors.
Summary
Sometimes people don't understand the meaning of being marked. A person can be marked in body, soul or emotionally marked. Which one was Ares?
And sometimes Dresden can't solve the whole mystery correctly.
AU HP, Dresden with some parts from naruto and bleach.
He threw the knife away and said, "No, you won't."
I laughed and asked, my eyes mad and enticing, "And why not, wizard?"
He undid the clasp of the valise. "Because I know something you don't."
"What?" I laughed. "What could you possibly know that matters now?"
He gave me a cold smile and said, "The phone number to Pizza Spress." He
opened the bag and snarled, "Get her, Toot!". There was a shrill, piping blast from inside the valise and Toot-toot sailed up out of it, leaving a trail of crimson sparkles in his wake. The little faerie wore makeshift armor, his weapons being an orange plastic box knife, its slender blade extended from its handle.
I let out another laugh, uglier than before, and said, "And what can this little thing do?"
Toot blew another little blast on his trumpet and shouted, voice shrill, "In
the name of the Pizza Lord! Charge!". And the valise exploded in a cloud of crimson sparkles as a swarm of pixies, all armed with cold steel blades sheathed in orange plastic, rose up and streaked toward me in a cloud of red sparkles and glinting knives.
My eyes met his as the pixies came towards me, and I was suddenly afraid, terrified
of my end. I lifted my hand, and tried to incinrate all the pixies, but there was already a hand there stopping mine, as one of the pixies reached me a pillar of black and golden light exploded around me and my saviour in the shape of a grey rib cage. The attacking pixies were repulsed by the barrier around us.
As dresden howled in frustration and anger, "What now!"
A voice usually peaceful and calm asked with a certain edge to it from behind me, "What in the hell is going on here!?". And a black and golden mist exploded from the pillar and the whole war surrounding us came to a sudden halt. Every Summer fae was watching the figure behind me with a certain amount of awe and respect where as Winter fae watched with wary looks. "Dear wife what is going on here?". From behind me emerged Summer Lord or my husband as he helped Lily to stand on her feet.
Queens converged on us from both sides looking wary of him as usual. Mab said with a frigid voice, "You agreed to not interfere in this war."
He answered with a calm voice as if speaking with a child, " I agreed, but until Aurora was in mortal danger. Well i cannot let my wife get killed. Now can i, since Titania's exile ends today will someone tell me what's going on?"
My mother explained with a strained voice,"My child here tried to imbalance the balance of power between summer and winter by adding power of the summer Knight to the stone table."
My head hurt and i tried to remember what i was trying to do and why, but i cannot remember anything. My head spinned and Harry(not dresden my husband) helped me as i faltered in my step and said with a pained voice,"I c ca cannnot remember anything." My head hurt again and i blacked out from pain.
First thing i noticed was the soft feeling of a lap under my head and angry voices.
"... Ares i thought you were exiled till the midsummer."
"Queen Titania if you would look around you will find out that i came after midnight, which means my exile is over. You can no more separate my wife from me." Harry explained patiently."Queen Mab please will you stop radiating your chilling presence you are intimidating only your emissary."
"Hey!" Dresden protested," Who are you anyway? Barging into middle of war and stopping the war like its nothing."
"He is Lord summer, Aurora's husband -
"Just call me Harry"
- and war stopped not because of the mist but because of his presence. No one wants war near the god of war. Especially when his wife is in danger." Mab explained with carefully controled rage, " Am i wrong Lord Ares."
"My name is also Harry" Dresden exclaimed.
"Good. Now that the introductions are over will someone explain to me what is going on?" Harry's voice was strained, he was reching his limit. He completely ignored Dresden's comment and mab's provocation.
"Lady here wanted to add summer knight's power to stone table in some misguided attempt to resolve the constant friction between summer and winter courts. The absence of mantel started this whole war. If you ask me i will say a few screws are loose in her, she was saving the world by sending it either to ice age." Dresden said in a tired voice.
"I know Aurora better than you do, she is one of the most passionate, fierce and lovely women i have ever met. She will not harm anyone without just cause and certainly will not throw mortal world into jeopardy." Harry said thoughtfully, "I smell something fishy here."
"This whole thing seems suspicious, Lord Talos when did Aurora started this whole plan?" Harry asked.
" My lord i think two weeks ago." Talos said nervously.
"Which will be about one week after the war with red courts started and i heard some activities of fallen started in Italy." Harry mused, "Aurora dear what is the last thing you can remember. I think its enoungh time you have taken pretending to be asleep."
I opened my eyes and saw Harry for the first time. We were meeting each other for the first time after five years since his exile. He looked the same. Around six feet in height, black hair with silver highlights, green eyes with thin golden ring at the end, high cheekbones, frameless glasses wearing casual t-shirt and jeans. He didn't look one day older than his mid twenties, he didn't cut an intimidating figure among sidhe lords, trolls, goblins, trolls painted in blood. He looked like he was just going for a walk in the park. Except for the small hilt protruding from his belt.
"Elaine. Last thing i remember is Elaine mentioning the constant friction between the summer and winter courts, then nothing but bits here and there." I groaned, i was still not feeling right in the head.
"Impossible! Elaine will never do such a thing, you are framing her. She helped me in stopping you." Dresden jumped in Elaine's defence, "Elaine tell her, Elaine! Elaine! Ela..." Dresden trailed off now noticing absence of the female wizard.
But i was still thinking of Harry, how he saved me right now. How we met all those years ago. How i tried to take advantage of his innocence. How he then loved me and still loves me.
Sometimes having a soul is a good thing it makes you feel love.
