A/N: Sorry it's been so long guys I've had a very busy couple of weeks. Not to mention I've been a bit blocked with this one. I have ideas about what I want to happen but I just can't seem to get it out on here where it actually makes any sense.
Well I've had a few reviews for the last chapter. One person said they were confused but did not say what they were confused about so I'm not sure. It all makes sense to me but then again it's all in my head and I knew what the outcome is sooo.
HG4eva: I'm sorry you were confused but I'm not sure what about if you e-mail me maybe I can clear it up for you. Thanks for the review and I hope you like the rest of it.
Floyddickey: Dumbledore is the mole but not really a bad guy. I will be explaining that in few more chapters. Sorry for anyone else who thinks that too? I know I kind of skipped over the explanation of it but I promise its coming.
Not so Sour Lemons: Thanks hope you like this chapter.
Uther3 a friend of a friend: Thanks for the heads up on my typos I appreciate it.
Jackuon: Thank you for your review.
On to the story.
Chapter 14
Draco and the Guide
Draco started to walk East and did not stop until he knew the sight of the rising sun. When he reached the 'sight of the rising sun' which was a temple of sorts, it was more like a ruin of a once very majestic temple.
He found his weapons. They were only symbols written and drawn on stones in the temple. As he tried to decipher each of the symbols and their meanings, his guides returned.
"Hello Uncle Draco." Said a voice from behind Draco.
Draco turned with a start. There was a very beautiful young woman standing behind him with raven hair and deep brown eyes. He knew exactly who she was.
"Hello Gabby. You look a bit older than the last time I saw you." Draco had never laid eyes on Gabby or James, but he just seemed to know it was her. He didn't really understand it but let it happen anyway.
"Why are you corporeal? And where is your brother?" Draco narrowed his eyes. He had read about people slowly loosing their minds while in these places inside the spirit realm. If they stayed in too long they would not be able to return. They also started to hallucinate.
"Don't worry Uncle Draco I'm not real I'm just in a form you find pleasing. I'm not even really Gabby. Please don't be angry. I am your spirit guide and I am here to help you. I take this form only because the girl channeled me and asked. Those twins are really amazing you know. They really are all our saviors. Soon you will know why. But first you must recover your weapons from the stones.
"Before you, are the following Celtic Symbols, each represents a true weapon you will need on your journey; Balance, Guidance, Power, Strength and Protection, Unity and Finally Trinity.
"Balance is the first of these and is depicted as a series of intertwined circles one large with four smaller wrapping it. It is called the Balance of Nature.
"The second is Guidance. This is depicted as Mystical Equine a head of a horse with a long knotted mane. Power is the Ring of Fire. It is just that eight knotted flames encircled like the sun.
"Strength is a cross of sorts with the circle representing the sun and reminds us that while on Earth we are still connected to the afterlife. It is the Spiritual Connection that gives us the strength we need.
"Protection is a series of knots which the Celts viewed as representing the complexity of life. Others thought it to be the path of their destiny. With each overlapping line Protection against Evil is increased. The center is the universal symbol for the four directions, thus protecting where ever you may travel.
"Unity and Trinity of soul, heart, and mind. The symbol is called Triquetra and is three distinct yet interlocked levels. A circle with three points. It will bring the three aspects of you together, Physical, Mental, and Spiritual." She was silent.
As Draco listened to the grown up Gabby, he looked at each of the stones and when she had finished he started to collect them. With each there was a stream of bright light and a wave of energy pushed into him. He looked at himself and saw he was now packing several sheathes with weapons in them. Draco nodded silently to the girl and started along the path which opened up before him.
He reached a basin and looked inside. He saw the thing he must defeat to gain entrance to the next path.
"I wish to challenge thee serpent." Called Draco.
The serpent rose from the water and hissed his acceptance of the challenge.
The serpent was quick and agile. He struck with pin point accuracy. Draco was hit four times with the venom which works a lot like acid. Luckily one of the weapons he had received was a protective layer of fabric he had never seen before. It covered his entire body and would protect against attacks of this sort. I unsheathed a La Tene. This sword was perfect for the battle with the snake as he needed to remain as far from it possible. The blade was nearly three feet long and was made of iron. Its handle was made of the rarest of ivories and was pearl white.
Draco handled his blade expertly and soon made little work of his first attacker. He entered the path the snake had been guarding and walked quickly knowing the time was cutting short. He needed to get to Harry and quick. He knew that time in the reverie was altered but he did not know which way it would be altered. It could be that in the 'real' time he has only been gone for moments or years. One never really knew what to expect when they returned to reality.
As he walked on he heard the voice of his guide once more this time in his head.
"Draco you must enter the new realm and find him. You will know what to do then." And then silence ensued.
'Fucking perfect. Just when I think I'm starting to understand what to do I get another obscure message telling me to do something different.' He thought.
"Do you think you could be a little more vague next time I almost understood you." He yelled out sarcastically. "What does that mean? Where is this 'New Realm' I'm supposed to go too. Can you at least tell me if I will have to fight anything else? I really hate it when you change the damned rules on me with out notice." He continued his rant until several things happened all at once.
