Chapter 3
Harry awoke on the ground and groaned. While he wasn't in any pain, he was extremely stiff, and he felt somewhat bloated as if he had eaten more then he could fit into his stomach.
Rolling up onto his feet Harry was once more greeted by the dimly glowing room that was covered in bronze. Reaching to adjust his glasses Harry was surprised to find that there was nothing on his face. Looking down to where he had been laying revelled that his glasses had been crushed either when he fell or at some point while he was unconscious.
Finding himself pleased with the sudden lack of needing glasses Harry felt something spark in his mind. The thought was small at first until he saw the letter on the altar once more.
Taking a deep breath, Harry reached down to pick up the letter once more.
As he read the letter, a challenge flashed across his mind. If the letter were to be believed, then it would only take a bit of his blood to return to the world outside. The challenge in his mind was that if this were proven right, then Harry would gather everything he had and move to the clockwork tower. If it wasn't then he would find his way out of here and leave without ever looking back.
Walking into the center of the room Harry tried to think of a way to make himself bleed before taking his lip between his teeth. With a quick breath, he bit down on his lip hard.
The blood gushed out of his lip only long enough for a few drops to form but those drops fell slowly onto the ground. Once the first drop hit the ground, the circle lit with white light, and suddenly Harry was no longer inside the bronze room but inside his secret base.
Knowing that while he had promised himself that he would go right back, Harry also wanted to be sure when he was so with a tired pull, he pushed himself down into the tunnel and backed out into the park.
Once outside Harry quickly made his way over to a newspaper box that was always up to date on the corner of the park's sidewalk. Once there Harry was shocked and pleased to see that it was indeed the same day that he had left. Knowing that this meant he would be able to go and stay inside the tower for the night without any risks to himself Harry quickly turn back to the park where he was had come from.
Once in the park, Harry made sure to check the time on the clock and was pleased to see that it was only six in the evening. This meant that he could stay inside the tower for twelve hours without any problems.
Once he was back inside his base, Harry got out a piece of paper and a pen. With that, he started winding the tower while placing marks on the paper forever ten turns. He did this until he got to seventy-two marks. At that point, he carefully set the globe with the tower down on the ground and gathered everything in the room towards him. With everything assembled Harry pushed the button.
The flash of light was even more blinding then Harry remembered, but he was pleased to see himself inside the tower.
Once he was able to stand without wobbling, Harry began to move his things so that they were behind the altar. This only took a few minutes, but it let Harry have a bit of time to start once more to think.
Now that he believed the letter Harry also thought about what else this meant for him. If the letter was real, then Harry was some sort of super vampire that was able to punt most other think on the planet. That meant he couldn't go back to his relatives. The Dursley family thought he was a freak when he was a healthy human boy. They would never let a vampire live with them, and if he were honest with himself, Harry would probably try and eat them the next time they starved him, and that was just something he didn't want to do. Not because he had any love for his family but because he was pretty sure that eating them would make him sick or something. The fat on his uncle and cousin would likely give him a heart-attack while his aunt was probably so bitter he would likely find lemons sweet.
Task did Harry made his way towards the doors at the other end of the room. They gave a soft grown when he pulled them open as it became apparent that they hadn't been opened in a long time making Harry wonder how long had the tower been lost and no used. Shrugging his shoulders, Harry made his way towards a spiral staircase that would likely take him to the floor below.
The stare case was made of twisting silver metal and did lead him to the lower floor where once he was there a vast orb lit up the entire room looks like a small sun. Beneath the sun orb as Harry was calling it in his head was three new globes. Each globe was about twice the size of a basketball.
Infant of them a letter was floating as if waiting for him. Reaching up Harry opened the letter before beginning to read what was inside.
Welcome to the basic training level. This floor is so that you know the three basic things you'll need past this point to not get killed. Those things being your vampire abilities, how to use Ki as well as magic. Each of the three globes is a primary training field as well as a library on the topic in question.
To enter the globes, all you have to do is touch the circle on the front of the orbs. This is important as once you are inside the globe you must wait at least one day to leave and each globe will tell you how to leave it once inside.
The last thing that I would like to mention is that you can't go farther into the tower until you can remove the globes from their podiums and place them into their travel case. The reason for this is that while the globes are mostly for training, they also function as portable homes.
Best of Luck,
Adam Trueblood
Looking up from the note, Harry was able to see how the case that was being talked about. It was some type of small trunk that once he looked inside had three somewhat distinct indents that were clearly meant for the globes. Heaving a sigh, Harry made his way towards the closest globe. His thoughts as he went were that he was glad he had given himself so much time inside the clockwork tower.
