"God speaking"
Writing
Last time on The Darkness surrounds us: the goblin flicked blood of off the dagger and onto a sheet of paper on the table. The blood was still for a second before slowing absorbing into the paper and forming neatly scripted words. Both the goblin and Harry doubled over in shock over what they saw.
Now:

Any other abilities beyond goblin knowledge
Weapons in possession:
Isorropía (Balance): Stygian iron sword, cooled in the waters of the river Styx like all other blades of this metal, but also soaked in the Ichor of Hyperion for 44 days. The blade has gained the ability to manipulate light to the will of its user, the sword being made from a metal of darkness and tempered in a substance of light has obtained the perfect balance.
Basilisk fang dagger: A very powerful spoil of war, the poison of the basilisk is so strong that even a swipe from this blade will corrode the skin and a deep enough cut will spread one of the world's most dangerous venoms throughout the body. While the venom will kill mortals, Godly blood negates most of the damage and instead of killing, the poison will instead paralyze the victim for up to three hours.

Potter: 15,000 Galleons, weapons and jewels.
Peverell: 180,000 Galleons, library of Alexander.

Peverell Place, Scottland: Abysmal condition, beyond restoration.
After recovering Harry stuttered out, "what does all of this mean?"
The goblin considered his words for a moment before speaking, "it seems that you are a demigod, meaning that at least one of your parents is a god." The goblin paused for a moment as if rethinking everything he has ever known. "However in this case I do not know how you have two godly parents, there is a name for half-bloods with one godly parent and one patron but it I believe it can also be used in this case."
"And what would this name be?" asked Harry his whole world being turned around right before his eyes.
"The name, used by both monsters and Godly Beings alike is…. Son Of Shadows." Spoke the aged goblin his last words echoing ominously throughout the dimly lit room.
Harry, overcoming his confused state spoke again "and what would this mean for me?" he asked nerve tainting his every word.
"while being the son of a god will give you amazing abilities, allowing feats thought impossible by the human mind, you will spend your entire life being hunted by monsters from the deepest pits of hades, never being allowed to settle down or experience peace." The goblin sighted bluntly seeing no way to put this nicely.
Harry struggled not to break down crying on the spot, peace was something he had sought his entire life the ability to fit in, to live his life without fear. "How does the goblin nation come to have all of this knowledge?" he croaked struggling to find his voice.
"From our patron god Hades of course not only is he the god of the dead but also the god of wealth, he has been known by many titles over the centuries The Rich One being one of the most prominent." Asserted the ancient goblin the look on his decrepit face becoming almost reverent.
"What of the abilities listed?" questioned Harry finally finding his voice, "there was only one that was explained while even the scroll seems uncertain of the others."
"Now that is something I can answer, Shadow-kinesis as the name applies means that the user can bend the darkness to their will, using it for anything from a weapon to transportation, while it is a very rare ability among Demigods it is sometimes seen in children of Hades." The goblin actually had to consider how to answer the rest of the question. "From what I can tell the rest of your abilities are unavailable until you discover them or the parent you receive them from claims you. It also seems that you have more abilities that we have no knowledge of, the ritual scroll can sense them however it can't seem to gauge their powers or affinities, therefore they are either extremely rare or never before seen abilities."
"Wait so is it possible that I could be a child of Hades!" exclaimed Harry excited to have found a hint as to his lineage.
"It would be almost certain, if you hadn't overlooked one piece of information," spoke the goblin a hint of annoyance. "We already know from where you received this power," he continued before pointing at the words God Mother: Nyx Primordial of the night.
"But what is a primordial?" asked Harry not having heard the term before. The Goblin closed his eyes seemingly deep in thought. (He seems to be doing that a lot, maybe it's an old person thing) "While the Gods control their domains and bend them to their will, the primordial are the embodiments of these domains. Nyx does not just control the night she is the night, just like how Gaia is the core of the Earth itself." The goblin had an internal debate before continuing, "a tale passed down through generations tells of a being called Chaos who came to be known as the first Primordial, it work up in an empty world a blank slate if you will. It lived floating in the darkness before until it became bored of its empty existence. The being named chaos used what was left of the energy that caused its own birth to form more beings who each took up names and domains of their own. The first was the Primordial Gaia at her birth something finally formed in the empty universe, a planet that was fittingly named Earth. The next to be born wasn't a singular being but two separate deities, The Primordials Nyx and Erebus of night and darkness respectively, Nyx became the consort of Erebus and from their union came Hemera and Aether, the Primordials of day and light, with their birth the universe was no longer an endless expanse of darkness. While the universe was no longer blank there was still no progression until once again a Primordial was born, Chronos the Primordial of time finally life in the universe was progressing Primordials of all types began forming. Earth now had greenery and plant life but was uninhabited until finally Gaia and Tartarus (The primordial of the abyss) had children that where of a completely different species, these children went on to become the titans and the rest of the story is history."
Harry sat back in his seat mouth agape desperately trying to take in everything he had just learned, not only was he a child of Greek gods but the God-child (Excuse the pun) of something even more powerful. Harry promptly fainted.
