Author's Note: Welcome back to Falsebloods and Wizards now before I start off this chapter I have some announcements and I should continue telling you about the comics, let's start with the announcements even though we've haven't gotten that far into the story, anyway I have two other Grimm Fairy Tales comics stories in the works, I just haven't submitted or finished them yet the first is titled Grimm Fairy Tales Presents American Tall Tales it's a story series like the comics that would feature modern incarnations of the American Tall Tales we grew up with the first being Paul Bunyan more would follow if it does good or get positive reviews, the 2nd to last is Rewind the clock a story that would focus on Edison Martin AKA the Timekeeper and it would include time travel so keep a look out for those two, next I like to hear your ideas for specials, for I'm considering on doing Christmas, Thanksgiving, Halloween, Veterans Day, etc ones so either pm me the ideas or leave them in your reviews. Finally I suppose you're all wondering who else helped and supported Harry during the Triwizard tournament, well lads and lasses I assure you that you'll see them later.
As for what else the rest of the comics are about… as I stated last chapter they put a more darker twisted take on the Fairy Tales we grew up with, I would also like to point that the comics are set in modern times, and they don't just feature the dark and twisted Fairy Tales, frame stories are also present but most of these just focus on Sela Mathers guardian of Nexus who you saw previous chapter and her nemesis Belinda,now I can't give away to much, for I'm sure you came for a chapter not a lecture, which I can understand but if you want to learn more about the comics feel free to google it, so without further ado enjoy the chapter.
MI6 HQ
Far from Surrey over the London bridge, around Big Ben and past Buckingham Palace and in London itself stood MI6 HQ the mundane version of the Wizarding World's Aurors and they're non corrupted counterparts. And among the agents, computers, gadgets and phones in this glorified building, one person struck out and was male.
The man was vastly larger in both size and musculature than his co agents with Sandy blond hair, hazelnut brown eyes, tan skin and was dressed in a MI6 uniform with a gun holster where said gun rested plus he wore trainers and had a somewhat wolfish but rugged and handsome look about him despite being human. This was Devin Lupus AKA Agent Lupus or Agent Big Bad Wolf to others, a Highborn werewolf, a Ravenclaw graduate from Hogwarts, a friend of Harry Potter plus old friend of Fantastic Beasts and where to find them author Newt Scamander. And he was on his way to Surrey and Privet Drive to pick up Harry, but little did he know he was about to meet an interesting ally who could be a falseblood or another Highborn.
Devin rummaged around his pants pockets trying to find keys for his vehicle. Upon finding them, he pressed a button on his clicker and a silver sports car pulled up automatically in front of him and he hopped in the driver seat and started it, then drove off to Surrey.as the man drove he became vigilant of his surroundings, not that he was paranoid or anything like Mr. Moody, or corrupt and soon to be resigned Minister Fudge, the werewolf was just making sure that he wasn't being followed by anyone or anything.
Once he saw that no one but cars, Brits and lowborns around, he continued to drive towards Surrey and Privet Drive. And speaking of Lowborns, Devin wondered if Harry knows about his falseblood heritage or the other students know about their heritages for he literally seen Seamus's eyes glow yellow for a brief second and not the amber yellow of a werewolf a yellow green which just screams leprechaun and as he thought that his phone rang.
"Huh? I wonder what he wants, for Shang never calls me unless it's something important or Highborn and Falseblood related" The highborn werewolf said as he saw who was calling before answering the call.
"This is surprising Shang, for you never made public calls to me before, so what's up?" He asked as he spoke with the council member on a picturesque screen in his car.
"Hello to you too Devin and I assured you this call is anything but public in fact it's more private" Shang replied.
"I figured, who's the person I have to find and help now?" Devin asked as he closed the windows of his car.
"You got two of them a young man by the name of Marcus Smith and a author named Zeke Lyons " the man replied.
"Highborns, Falsebloods, some people who just needs to be taught a lesson before unlocking their highborn abilities, demigods, or modern incarnations ?" The MI6 agent pressed lightly as he continued to drive.
"Highborns" the mentor to Sela replied simply.
"Which realms Oz, Myst, Neverland, Wonderland, or the Shadowlands?" The werewolf interrogated.
"Wonderland and Oz both oblivious to their unique heritages and abilities" Shang responded.
"Can't someone else get them? I kinda have my hands full" the Ravenclaw graduate said.
"Believe me my friend, I wouldn't want to pull you away from your business either, but Sela and Edison are teaching their classes,Liesel is busy and I can't get ahold of anyone else at the moment plus you're the only realm knight stationed in London " the highborn stated.
"Bloody Hell, okay where could I find them?" The MI6 agent asked.
"Zeke is holding a book signing at Waterstones, while Marcus is in Hyde Park" the High council member answered.
" Alright I take it that Mr. Smith is from Oz while Mr. Lyons is from Wonderland or vice versa" Devin said.
"Indeed, For it has come to my attention and Thane's that Zeke is of Oz while Marcus is of Wonderland" the guardian of Myst told him.
"Very well, I'll pay them a vis" the MI6 agent cut himself off when he spotted a couple of cops and Lowborns surrounding a house and was at what he assume is either a car accident, a murder case or something worse plus he sensed a Falseblood among the crowd.
"What is it?" Shang asked noticing the highborn werewolf's silence.
"I gotta call you back another time Shang, something just came up" the man said as he closed the picturesque screen and hung up the phone before parking his car then got out and went to investigate the commotion.
"Agent Devin Lupus of MI6, what the hell happened here and don't leave a single detail out" Devin said as he showed his badge to the cops before putting it away.
"A couple was found brutally murdered in their dining room this afternoon, we're not sure who or what caused it, for we saw no sign of a struggle or anything even our top men couldn't find anything" the first cop answered.
"Any suspects or clues and are you sure it was a murder and not something questionable or a elaborate prank?" The Highborn werewolf pressed.
"Certain, though we only have one suspect at the moment, but no clues " the second cop replied.
"What's the suspect's name?" The man continued.
"Ross Williams age 30 neighbor to the lovely couple claims to have hold a grudge against the one of the victims for sleeping with his wife Margery Williams" the lowborn cop commented as he showed a picture of the said suspect who had reddish brownish hair, fair skin and eyes black as night.
"Where is he?" The man interrogated.
"Over there, we tried to get info out of him, but he refuses to cooperate" another cop stated while pointing towards Mr. Williams location.
'Bet I could get info out of him, for I know a falseblood or Highborn when I see one, but first' the MI6 agent thought before returning his attention to the cops.
"Mind if I look around the house for awhile?" He asked.
"Be my bloody guest,but I can't guarantee that you'll find anything in there" the second cop told him.
"I'll be the judge of that" Lupus responded before heading inside, the couples house passing by Ross who was knowingly following him.
Couples Home
Ever since I joined MI6, my top priority
has always been to protect people be them witches, wizards, Lowborns, Highborns, falsebloods and half breeds like myself, and while it's true that most magical folk would join the ministry after graduating from Hogwarts as aurors or the other wizarding jobs, but not me, I seen the injustice of the ministry and it's nothing but corruption and Madam Bones along with Mr. Weasley plus the aurors knows it and yet they continue to work with them. Not to mention I've been having encounters with enemies from my past and the Dark One, and since becoming a member of the Realm Knights my life has been busy for I have to find plus help Highborns and Falsebloods in London and other parts of Europe, now here I am investigating a murder scene, with a falseblood by the name of Ross Williams as a suspect, when I should be picking up Harry from his so called relatives who are also followers of the Dark one plus thanks to Shang I also have to visit plus help two Highborns from Oz and Wonderland who don't even know about their unique heritages or abilities.
"Never thought I see an MI6 Agent do a cop's job" a voice said from behind.
'Speak of the devil' the highborn werewolf thought before turning his attention to the voice of the falseblood he saw earlier.
"I'm not doing their job Ross, I'm just finishing it for whatever happened in this house was no ordinary murder it was an act of vengeance and whoever or whatever murdered the couple didn't come from this world and was not human" he said as he found puddles of blood.
"I'm just going to ignore the fact on how you know my name, and get straight to the point, I'm not the one who murdered them the couple I mean, it's true I held some sort of grudge against the husband of the two for sleeping with my Margery but I would never drive myself to do something dark and twisted as murder" Ross told him.
"I know" Devin replied simply as he continued to search around the house.
"You do?" The 30 year old man questioned as he walked with the highborn.
"I'm not stupid Mr. Williams, if you were the murderer, you would've killed me the moment I entered the building, but you didn't instead you chose to follow me,plus you don't look the murderous type especially with your powers" the MI6 agent stated.
"Good point, wait powers? What powers?" the man asked.
"Powers that you should have accessed a long time ago, powers that only you could unlock" the MI6 Agent answered as his highborn magic briefly engulfed his hand before dissipating.
"But that decision is up to you the highborn added just as a sound was heard nearby causing him to unholster his gun.
"What was that?" Ross asked.
"If I had to guess the true culprit behind the murder and it came from the dining room, stay close to me, without access to your powers, you're practically useless unless you have some special skills, that could be of use to us" he told him as he headed for the dining room gun drawn but had it pointed towards the ground.
'I just might' the newly revealed falseblood thought before following the werewolf.
The two reached the dining room and what they saw was a horror movie come to life, blood and bodies plus limbs littered the floor and shaped in ways so gruesome and disturbing that not even H.P. Lovecraft, Edgar Allan Poe, and Stephen King well write anything this dark and horrific.
"Oh my God, who could've done this?" Ross asked.
"Not who, what, for no mere mortal could do this unless they have Super Strength, or are some kind of limb ripping psychopath, now I have some suspects responsible for this bloodbath but it's impossible plus your going to think I'm crazy" the highborn werewolf told him.
"My entire life has been crazy so whatever you'll tell me I won't look at you any differently so go head.
"Blimey you barely know me and you already respect me, but if you insist, are you familiar with the story Alice in Wonderland or Greek Mythology?" The Ravenclaw graduate quizzed.
"Very, for I read the story to my daughter numerous times, she's says it's her favorite book, plus I studied Myths, Legends, Folklore and Tall Tales my whole life" Ross answered.
'Oh I bet Sela would like you' he thought with a bemused smile before switching to a serious expression.
"What if I told you that the Alice in Wonderland story you been reading your daughter is a lot darker than the ones we're all familiar with and Wonderland plus it inhabitants and Alice themselves along with the Greek myths, Gods, Goddesses, heroes, and those Tall tales, Myths and Legends you studied were real and true also living among us today?" He continued.
"Go on" the man said interested.
"I think the ones behind this blood fest are the Cheshire Cat, the Mad Hatter, the Carpenter and Ares God of War" the highborn werewolf replied.
"Ares I could understand, for he does seem like the type, but why would the Cheshire Cat or Mad Hatter or the Carpenter be behind it?" The 30 year old man asked.
"Let me show you something" the agent said as he lead the falseblood to a mirror in the opposite room while both avoid stepping in blood puddles and on bodies before waving his hand over the mirror where three images formed each one revealing the Cheshire Cat, The Carpenter and the Mad Hatter.
"Through the Looking Glass you're seeing parts of Wonderland the realm of Dreams, at least it was until the Jabberwocky took over and twisted it and turned it into a realm of madness, and the images you see before you now are that of the Carpenter, the Mad Hatter and the Cheshire Cat. But unlike the versions you're daughter and others grew with these versions are merciless killers and wants you dead for they're own reasons" the Ravenclaw graduate explained.
"I see and you suspect that these three along with Ares are responsible for the bloodbath we saw in the dining room earlier" Williams asked.
"Yes but as I said before it's impossible, for Ares is imprisoned in the Underworld and unless someone left Wonderland and forgot to keep the madness in there or something found some way to escape from the realm like the White Rabbit and decided to come here and murder people to death" Devin explained as the images disappeared.
"So what do we do?" The family man asked.
"We?" The highborn questioned.
"Yes I want to help in any way I can" Ross answered.
"Not much we could do, unless you want to break every mirror in here, going to Wonderland itself is also bad idea" the MI6 agent told him as he holstered his gun and started to walk off.
"Why is that?" The 30 year old man asked following the highborn werewolf.
"Wonderland changes people in twisted and horrific ways, some has even gone mad in there, only one person escaped from the Madness and that person is Alice Liddell though a part of her remains in Wonderland, but that's a story for another time, though maybe there's something you could do for me, since you want to help out and you're powers could help out also" the highborn commented.
"You keep mentioning these powers and yet I don't know what they are or how to unlock or access them" the man told him.
Lupus's highborn magic engulfed his hand yet again and placed it in front of the 30 year old man as if he was scanning him.
"You do know how to unlock and access them, you just can't remember how, as for what they might be, I'll let fate decide" he replied as his magic dissipated then turned around and resumed walking again avoiding the blood puddles and bodies with Williams doing the same thing.
"What is it you need me to do?" The man asked.
"Nothing special I just need you to look after two people and help me get rid of an abusive family and a animal abuser" the agent spoke.
"Who are these abusers?" Ross asked.
"Tell me Mr. Williams what do you know about the Dursleys?" The highborn werewolf countered.
"Say no more mate, I knew something was screwy about that family and I just know what to do about them" the man replied.
"Then let's get started" the Ravenclaw graduate stated as his eyes glowed amber.
Author's Note: Here's a sneak peek at the next chapter before we end this.
Harry don't know what happened one minute he was in his room reading the book of Fairy Tales Edison and Sela gave him while he was waiting for Devin to pick him up, next thing he knows he finds himself in a unknown realm surrounded by characters only found in Fairy Tales or at least they're apparitions. Like the Beast from Beauty and the Beast, Goldielocks from Goldielocks and the Three Bears, Bluebeard from the story of the same name, Little Red Riding Hood herself, the three Little Pigs, Cinderella and countless others and before he had time to react or speak his mind the apparition of Red riding hood approached the wizard and spoke in a voice that reminded him of the ghosts in hogwarts.
"You must be Harry Potter we've been expecting you" she spoke.
"Not trying to be rude or anything, but where exactly am I?" The falseblood wizard asked.
"You're in My story but it's actually Myst, though I think you have overstated you're welcome Red continued.
"Wait I'm in Little Red Riding Hood? And what do you mean I overstated my welcome was I not supposed to be here or something and what's Myst?" Harry asked for he's been hearing the name quite a lot once from Devin and again from Edison Martin/The Timekeeper but they never told him what it was, and fortunately Bluebeard's apparition and answered.
"Myst is the realm of magic, and there are four other realms that connects to it such as Neverland the realm of infinite imagination, Wonderland the realm of Dreams and Oz the Realm of Hope" the apparition answered.
"Neverland, Oz and Wonderland are real I thought they were fictional?!" The wizard asked surprised.
"In another universe maybe but in this one they are very much real along with Mt Olympus and every myth, legend, Tall Tale, Fairy Tale, fable and thing in folklore you grew up hearing or reading about they just pretend they aren't real so they won't find themselves on a one way trip to an insane asylum, isn't that right Shang, Nyssa and Timekeeper?" Cinderella's apparition said.
"Yes you are right Cinderella" a voice called out as three individuals approached the gathering, Harry recognized Edison but the other two were new to him the first was a man with a bald head, with ablack fu Manchu minus the beard part, black eyes, a somewhat thin build and dressed in a black suit, pants, tie, and loafers plus was Chinese, he assumed this was Shang and next to him was a girl at least he think it was a girl if he could get past the insect like wings sticking out from her back and slightly revealing attire she was wearing and was practically barefooted confirming that she was a Fairy and that this might be Nyssa.
"Welcome to Myst Harry, we have much to discuss so come take a walk with us" Edison told the falseblood wizard as him, Shang and Nyssa started to walk with The boy following behind.
Ending Note: See you next chapter.
