Chapter four: Gone from this world.
" Shhhh, don't be so loud... you'll wake him up. " A voice said through the black. Very feminine but full of masked power.
" Sorry, he should be up... " Said a more demanding, male voice.
" Ares, let him be... he went through a terrible ordeal. " The first voice said scolding the man, Ares.
" Alright Athene. Hey, I think he's waking up! " Ares said and Harry slowly opened his eyes. He saw a very muscular looking woman in a purple robe with visible gold armor underneath. She had flowing blue hair and golden gauntlets and knee high boots with build in gold plating. She had various weapons in sheaths on her arms, legs, and waist. She wore a silk skirt showing off her strong legs. She seemed to glow with a green aura of power.
Next to Athene he saw a large man decked out in red and gold. He had a red silk shirt under gold metal protection. He also had red boots and gloves. He looked very strong and manly, even though he wore grey tights. he wore a sward on his back and a dagger at his side. He had cropped red hair and a bandana tied around his neck. He too glowed with a aura of power though his was whitish blue.
" Hello there young apprentice, is everything alright? " Athene asked kindly. Harry looked around and saw himself in sort of a hospital wing decorated like a futuristic Hogwarts.
" I'm fine... " He said shakily and then continued. " Where am I? What happened? All I remember was that I was sitting alone in my cu-room and a blue light came and saved me. "
Ares replied the questions. " Don't worry, we know everything. We are the fates after all. You were saved by Lachesis, our queen of fates. She usually goes on a vacation leaving the world in someone elses hands. This time it was Eros, all he worried about was the love so he sent the powers and demons to the people who deserved them. Most involved you. When Lachesis realized what happened she went to earth and saw your condition. She decided to invoke the 100 year tradition of taking apprentices for each fate. She obviously chose you. Now that you are up we can speed the healing process so you can help choose the other 6 apprentices before the month ends here. Or you getting kidnapped will get to your entire world and no one will be able to come and help train with you. "
Harry was shocked, he didn't know that all of life on earth revolved around 7 people. " How long was I out? " He croaked with his sore throat. Athene gave him a sip of water and he felt better.
" You were out for a full week I'm afraid but we only need to make it so you can walk and fufill your own needs before you can leave. " She said soothingly. Harry scrunched up his face. he felt way better then he had in a month and they say he needed more rest? " I'm fine. I need to use the washroom, let me up. " They moved with aprehensive faces set and he flung his leg over the side of the bed and examined his ankle, it seemed fine but he would need to be careful. His arm had a large cast so he couldn't hurt that. His whole midsection was covered in bandages and he felt much better so he put his good foot down and began limping to the washroom, not even flinching.
" How did he do that? He shouldn't even be able to walk! " The female goddess said shocked. Ares looked proud. " He has a strong spirit. I think we should look after that ankle but other then that all he will need is daily potions. He could get out of here today. " Athene glared at the god of war. " We'll see, I'll see what he says and if he belives he has the strength to do everything he can go. " Ares grinned happily and replied " Good, I know he will. " At that moment Harry walked back from the bathroom looking even better.
Athene made him sit while she dressed his ankle and put on a small splint to ensure he didn't hurt it more. Then she asked him the question. " Do you think you can survive walking about by now? Or do you need some more time? " Harry smirked and said " I wanna get out of this hospital as soon as I can! " Athene sighed as Ares did a small victory dance, to Harry's amusement. " Fine. " She sighed and helped lead him to the lunch hall where the other 5 gods and goddesses were eating their midday meal.
Harry noticed the differances in attire. Clotho was obviously the youngest looking of them all, set in eternal youth. She looked to be about his age or a few years older. All of them must have been centuries old but Clotho looked the least of all, with Atropos the oldest. Clotho had flowing brown hair that was a little more then shoulder length. She was wearing what seemed to be plain jean shorts but they obviously had metal sewn in to make it protective. She has deep brown eyes and a odd shaped tattoo on her shoulder. Her leather boots came up to her knees and she had a armored top that heightened her bust. She had a black leather glove on her left hand with a white diamond in the center of the palm. She also had red ribbon-like strands coming up her other arm. She looked tough but innocent, definitly powerful. She had a yellow power aura around her that pulsed with her heartbeat.
Lachesis didn't seem to HAVE any armor. She was clothed in a pure white material and her hair was up in a royal updo, with flowers in braids. She had a soft cape thing glowing silver. Lachesis had pale skin, platinum blonde hair and commanding blue eyes. She may have held armor underneath for when she moved Harry heard a almost silent clanging. She had a small tiara in her hair and glowing runes on her hand. Her aura was a clear silver-blue.
Her older sister Atropos looked very fierce and powerful with her amber eyes and dark purple hair. She was obviously very efficient at fighting. She wore a one piece armored outfit that didn't show much but showed A LOT at the same time. She also had a leather belt with a whip, 2 daggers, and something else that Harry didn't want to know what it was. Atropos wore a purple cape and long purple gloves. She also wore tall boots with abnormally large high heels. She looked like a retired stripper person! Her aura was a vibrant purple.
Eros on the other hand looked more godlike. Although he looked and acted... gay! He had curly brown hair and baby blue eyes. He had a quiver of arrows on his back and a bow at his side. He wore typical god clothing in 'manly' pink. tights, gauntlets, feathered boots, the works. The thing that made him different from the others was that he had wings! Big white wings he kept folded in while he sat. That was the reason his chair had no back. Eros aura was a light gold with flecks of pink.
Kirke was a broody looking woman. She hid in the shadows. She had black eyes that seemed to have no pupils. She had long, curly red tresses with a dark blue ribbon throughout it. She wore a blue robe and she seemed to be the one closest to his timeline. She was nicely tanned and had very sharp features. Actually she looked a little like Snape. Her aura was a blue fuzz, not nearly as powerful as the others.
" Hello Harry! " Lachesis said gaily and introduced him to everyone else. With Kirkes glowering attitude she looked even more like his potions master. He found out that Eros had another, more common name... Cupid! He acted a lot like his 2nd year defense professer Lockheart. The similarities were highly amusing except that Eros thought of finding love for everyone else, not himself. He got along well with all three of the fates, a feat never held before to anyone but Lachesis herself. But that didn't count as she herself was a fate. Harry was able to eat a full meal for the first time in months and ate as much as he could. With his stomach shrunk he hardly ate anything anyways.
Meanwhile:
The order was in panic, Dumbledore's alarm had gone off that Harry had left the perimeter of his road and when tracking charms were set they held no results, it was as if Harry Potter had vanished from the world. For the first time Ron, Ginny, and Hermione were allowed to sit in on a order meeting. They all discussed several ideas. The worst was that Harry had joined Voldemort but his friends and Sanpe denied that theory constantly.
Finally Dumbledore called the meeting to a end, getting nowhere. He grabbed hold of his phoenix and firetravelled back to his office. He turned to his window and said " Harry, where have you got to now? " Fawkes let out a trill of phoenix song and Dumbledore gave a sad smile, petting the bird fondly.
SSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
Fact:
Ares rode into war with his horses, Flame and Terror.
