"Italic" Thoughts, parseltongue, spells and memories and other Languages.
Many things could be said about Nurmengard. For most it's a prison where they hold the most notorious of dark wizards even darker than those that dwell in Azkaban. Some call Nurmengard an unbeatable fortress that holds more protections than that of Hogwarts but for Gellert Grindelwald its hell, pure utter hell. Day and night the former Dark Lord had to dwell in the past about his foolish methods which cost him the war. Since 1945 he had been stuck here, for forty-nine long years he was forced to live with the fact he was bested by his former best friend.
"Albus was never the same after Ariana died" Thought Grindelwald. Out of all the deaths and destruction only Ariana's did Grindelwald truly regret. Closing his eyes Grindelwald tried to think of something else. Anything would be better than the ghosts of his past.
"Who are you? Guards stop him! ARRGGGH" Grindelwald instantly opened his eyes in shock when heard noises and what seemed to be people in pain.
"What's going on out there?" He called in German he knew no one but himself could speak English in here.
"Well, well, well. Looky here? Seems the good ol' dark lord is still trapped in his baby crib" Taunted someone from the shadows. Grindelwald frowned at the disrespect before realizing that this person was speaking in English.
"Who are you?" He croaked.
"Oh where are my manners, Allow me to show myself" Spoke the stranger before standing right outside the cell. The stranger had messy black hair which looked slightly spiked at the back. Grindelwald frowned as he recognized some of the features from this man. The stranger was covered completely in blood which stained his black trench coat and trousers. What shocked the former dark lord the most was that, this man was wearing sunglasses at night?
"Where have I seen you before?" Thought Grindelwald, looking at many scars that this stranger had.
"I go by many names but I like Rex the most so call me that, Ya hear?" Said Rex in broken English.
"Greetings Rex it seems you have my warden's blood on your clothes"
"Oh have no fear my friend, this shit cleans right out with the right products" Smiled Rex.
Grindelwald just stared at this man. Was he completely insane or had Gellert Grindelwald himself fallen victim to the perfect world of insanity.
"You aren't insane" Said Rex as if he read Grindelwald's mind.
"You used Legilimens on me… no, no that can't be right as I would of felt my shields being attacked"
"Or I guessed?" Smirked Rex.
"Or that I suppose" Conceded Grindelwald.
"Well before I continue this lovely conversation with ya, I better make it more lively in here" and with a wave of his hand. The blank, empty dungeon of a prison cell was turned into a bright warm and welcoming living room with two loveseats. Walking through the cell doors as if he were a ghost, Rex childishly threw himself into the right loveseat. While Grindelwald weakly moved to the left.
"Tea, Coffee?" Asked Rex.
"Tea please" Answered Grindelwald.
Rex once more waved his hand creating a mug filled with the hot liquid.
"Sugar?"
"Two"
Waving again, He passed the cup to Grindelwald. Not caring if it were poisoned or not. The former dark lord sipped it before smiling at the taste of his favorite drink. Rex himself merely popped in what appeared to be firewhisky.
"Blishen's Firewhisky is a lot better than Ogden's Old Firewhisky especially aged ones" Said Rex downing the drink.
"So Rex what do you want?" Asked Grindelwald calmly.
"Hmm…What makes you think I want anything?" Asked Rex.
"You come here insulting me, now you take me for a fool? I know you want something but what exactly?"
Rex's smile instantly went into a frown. Drinking another bottle of firewhisky the man laid back as he pondered on where to start.
"Have you ever heard of multiverses or Alternate Universes?"
"The multiverse is a theory in which our universe is not the only one, but states that many universes exist parallel to each other. Each different by choices of which we make" Responded Grindelwald.
"That's one of the many theories of it but in this case you are correct" Replied Rex.
"Where exactly are you going with this?"
"What I'm saying ol' lordy of darkness is that I'm from another universe" Declared Rex.
"And exactly what does this do with me?" Asked Grindelwald not believing this insane man for a second.
"I have proof"
Grindelwald raised an eyebrow at this in disbelief. Rex scoffed at this before smirking.
"Memoria participatur" Grindelwald completely defenseless was not prepared as many images were thrown inside his head. Memories not his own pierced his skull as he saw the different scenarios of things that he never done. Finally the pain receded, slowly pulling himself up in a sitting position. He stared at the man he now knew from the memories.
"You are supposed to be dead…" Muttered Grindelwald. Rex chuckled at this.
"You know I can't die easily but Gellert you should realize that those memories aren't exactly yours, so you don't really know me"
Grindelwald noted that even Rex's speech had changed at this point. Instead of talking in a childish broken English before he now spoke of the vile being he had come to know from his memories.
"Well when you give me my own counterpart's memories, it causes changes as I have told you before" Said Grindelwald tiredly.
"You only have the memories you gave me Gellert"
"I am well aware of that Rex! At least the only good thing to come from this is I now know where I recognized your face from"
"Well my face is roguishly handsome" Remarked Rex Pompously.
"Your arrogance suits your name well" Sneered Grindelwald.
"Don't wound me" Mocked pouted Rex.
"Now tell me, Why are you in this world?" Asked Grindelwald tired of the games.
"It was actually an accident. One minute I am being the awesome evil overlord that I am and then the next I felt a pull and wham! Here I am" Explained Rex smiling sheepishly.
"So you come here because you want me to help you like my counterpart did?"
"Yeah, I have your wand with me" Smiled Rex pulling out the familiar bone like wand. Grindelwald looked shocked at the wand.
"The elder wand? If that's the one from your universe than that means…"
"There is now two elder wands" Finished Rex.
"With two of the deadly death sticks… What if we combine them…?"
"Then you could kill even the immortal" Said Rex.
"Even you?"
Rex chuckled at this before turning serious.
"Are you going to help me? I will need your help"
Grindelwald looked confused before his other memories reminded him on what Rex was saying.
"You are after them… Even here?"
"I never got them… He stopped me before vanishing" Growled Rex looking angry. Grindelwald deciding to change the subject spoke.
"I see, what's in it for me? I may have the memories of Gellert from your world but I am not him. I actually have regrets in this world"
"I'll let you finally get your revenge on Dumbledork" Smiled Rex.
"I have no quarrel against Albus anymore" Answered Grindelwald.
"I know one thing about the Albus in this world that no one knows" Said Rex.
"What's that?" Inquired Grindelwald curious at the subject change.
"He is responsible for loss of your daughter"
The room suddenly begun to feel heavy as the long dormant power of the once feared Dark Lord awoke once more. The true Gellert Grindelwald had risen. Extending his hand towards Rex, he took the wand from Rex's grasp feeling the familiar power go through him. He smiled bitterly as he remembered how the power had last time got to his head.
"Albus to think you would go so low as to attack the only light in my darkness… To think our last battle I treated you fairly even though once I was beaten you told me that my precious girl died from the aftershock of our battle… I blamed myself! You will pay" Thought Grindelwald. Rex smiling at the fact he had an ally spoke.
"Are you in Grindelwald?"
"Count me in Potter" Answered Grindelwald saying Rex's last name. Frowning at the use of that name he grabbed Grindelwald and then both vanished through the supposedly anti-apparition barrier. Leaving behind the prison and Grindelwald's one last shot at redemption.
