Tales of the Wizard

Ch 10 Upgrade and leaving.

Raiden looked around, a darkness surrounded him.

"Where am I?"
"Did you really think you could leave us, Mr Potter?"
Harry didn't need to see the person, the voice was more then enough, "Snape," Raiden hissed.
"Why did you leave us, Harry?" another voice said.
"H-Hermione?"
A third voice spoke "Thanks to you, You-Know-Who took over."
Raiden closed his eyes, focusing only on the voice. "Ron."
"The Prophesy still applies, Harry. You must return."
Raiden smiled, "Dumbledore. You can not order me around. I took a new name. The Prophesy is a warning, not the outcome."
"Are you ready to abandon everybody?" 'Hermione asked.
"I have few friends, the wizarding world sees me as a scapegoat. Do not speak to me about abandoning anybody. I will return, when I think the time is right."
"Aren't you abandoning me then?" A fifth voice came.
"Sheena, I will not abandon you. I can not do that." Raiden's eyes snapped open, "But I vow here and now that I will return one day to take on Voldemort."

"Your words speak true, summoner." A voice spoke, "Once the sixteen sprits are gathered, you can go back."
"I have no home in my world, they only see a symbol. In this world I have found true love. I ask of you that once my purpose is fulfilled, I can return to this world. For this is the place I can truly live."
"I can not see the future, but hold true to your honour and we shall assist you in the new world."
"Thank you, I will do my best for this world."
The voice laughed, a friendly laugh, "I am sure you will. Your friend has settled in the east. She attempted to assassinate the Chosen of Sylvarant."
"I thank you for telling this."
"The fourteen guardians await your vow, search the world for them."
The Darkness suddenly flared up in bright light.
Raiden thought he saw two arms on one side of a body, before he was forced to close his eyes.

Raiden woke up.
"What was that? Fourteen guardians await my vow. What does that mean?"
"You're awake? Good news, I customised your weapon," Dirk's head had popped up from the stairs.
"I'll be right there."
Raiden gathered his supplies and went downstairs.
The weapon was placed on the table, the two blades had a reddish tint on the bottom of the blade.
"I used the wand you gave me, I split it in four and inserted the pieces in the metal. After I fitted the hilts together, the blade lit up in red and I heard a bird singing."
"Fawkes," Raiden suddenly realised, "The phoenix feather used in the wand."
"A Phoenix? I never heard of a phoenix before."
"It's a bird representing rebirth. When a Phoenix dies, it burst into flames and from the ashes a new phoenix is born."
"We have the unicorn as the symbol for rebirth. After a Unicorn gives it's horn, it'll die and a new unicorn will be born."
"I see, the unicorn and the phoenix both share the rebirth cycle."
"An ancient sword, reawakened from the flames."
"Hmm?"
Dirk smiled, "The name of the sword, I decided on calling it 'The Phoenix'."
"Very well, a Swallow transformed into a Phoenix."
"Should you need to remove the wand, you can twist the hilts of the sword."
Raiden was shown how to remove the hilts and retrieve his wand.
"I should be going. I still need to find Sheena. I thank you for the hospitality and the weapon."
"I hope you find your friend," The dwarf said.
"You are not the only one," Raiden said, as he opened the door.
Dirk looked at the door as it closed, "Good luck, Raiden."
Raiden walked through the forest, Névé flew towards her master.
"It's strange, I never have felt more at home anywhere else," Raiden spoke to her, "Even at Hogwarts, It always felt that something was missing."
"How cute, a boy speaking to his pet," a voice interrupted.
Raiden looked, a man in a green cape watched him.
"Got a problem with it?" Raiden replied sharply, motioning the snowy owl to take to the skies.
"You got quite the tongue there," The man said.
"Well, I don't take to kindly to people who insult me."
"Rodyle, What is taking you so long?" a strange lady walked to the man, "Oh, you have a quest."
"Lady Pronyma, I was just watching this boy and his pet."
"I only see a boy, where is his pet then?"
"I am still here," Raiden said, "As for my pet, she flew to a safer location."
"What a shame, I would have loved to see it."
Raiden glared at Pronyma, who noticed it.
"What's up with that face, do you know who you have in front of you?"
"No, and I do not care."
"I am Pronyma, Leader of the Five Grand Cardinals, Right-hand of Lord Yggdrasill."
"Even if you were queen of the world, you can not threaten people and least of all me. Bitch."
Pronyma became red, "How dare you! Take this!"
She hit Raiden with an attack that launched him of the cliff.
"Wasn't that too much?" Rodyle asked.
"IT WAS NOT," Pronyma seethed, "Let usleave this place."
"Yes, Lady Pronyma."
The two teleported out.

Raiden was flying towards the ground. He had been launched at least a few feet extra.
His adventures with Quiditch and mostly flying without a broom had taught him how to steer his body in mid-air.
Right now he steered his body towards the cliff, it was a steep one but not ninety percent.
Making a claw with three kunais, he dug them into the grass on the cliff.
It slowed him down enough to get more control. Raiden jumped away once he was sure he got enough control.
He made a few twists and landed.
He looked to see the exit of the forest.

Raiden smiled, "That was easy."
He moved out of the forest.
Raiden looked around the plains.
"Sheena supposedly settled in the east, that means I went the wrong way."

He looked to the desert, "My best bet would be Triet and I must work my way from there."
With new determination, Raiden made his way to the desert city.
