AN: thank you all for the great review! I love reading them since it gives me an idea if people are liking where the story is going. So keep them coming! I'm sorry this chapter has taken long to get out. I hit a major writers block again since my husband left for basic last month. Hopefully i ca get my damn plot bunny back.
To answer some questions, yes Domi is gay.. he is married to a male Elf. Queen Mayers is a joke title between all the lords since mayers married a lord.

Chapter 35: Abandon ship!
.x.X.x.X.x.X.x.X.x.X.x.X.x.X.x.X
"So let me get this straight, you want all of us to trek down to the main village of humans. A place that let me remind you is so fucking raciest towards dark elves that they will have no problem lynching us, all so that you can get this little unknown human tested?"
Domi leaned back against the headboard of his bed absently pulling the blankets a little higher around his naked hips. His amber eyes regarding his brother who was sitting in a chair across the room. Somehow his bedroom had become that mornings meeting room for the adults, now he wouldn't have minded this if a certain red headed lord had actually allowed him and his husband to get up out of bed and get dressed.
Instead at oh dark thirty in the morning Zerachiel had walked in and planted his butt at the foot of his bed, followed shortly by his two elder son's, adopted father, brother and sister in law.
Groaning Mayers pulled the blankets up over his head wishing to just go back to sleep. Reaching under the blankets Domi gently rubbed his husbands back before turning his attention back to the argument at hand.
Zera gave off an irritated sigh, his violet eyes narrowing into a glare as he regarded his adopted father. "Father, Talking Island had opened up since your death. More and more elves and dark elves are traveling to that island to train with their human friends."
Ranzus crossed his arms over his chest his own amber eyes narrowing in a glare at his adopted son. " It does not matter if they are 'opening up' the village has and always will be full or disgusting humans."
/And you call them raciest../ Zera shook his head knowing this was a loosing argument. Like all first elves they were extremely raciest against the humans that were once just stupid and mindless slaves to them and the giants.
"Dad, this is going to take us weeks away from Rune." Maiae was sitting on a small love seat in front of the small fireplace in the room, he was leaning over the back looking at his father.
"I know." Zera wrapped his arms around the post he was resting against on the bed. "There is something going on far out of our control and i don't like it one bit."
He knew the high one was keeping them from reaching Rune in a timely manner, but for the life of him he could not figure out what the high ones motives were. Harry and Draco had told him they originally thought it was because of Pa'agrio's class, the birth of light and dark. No there was a deeper meaning to all of this.
The sudden disappearance of all ability to talk to their family in Rune or heaven, but they could speak to each other mentally just fine. The sudden inability to use the GateKeepers to teleport to Rune, even the alliance gate keeper was down. Scrolls for Rune had gone missing from the scroll vaults in the castle and from their persons.
No the high one had a set path for them, but what was the purpose behind it. He couldn't answer that.
"I don't like this game the high one is playing." frowning Zera laid his chin in his hand his eyes distant as he weighed their options. Blood was watching his brother silently from his spot against the door frame. He could feel that the three children were up and starting to move around the castle.
"I don't think we have a choice but to play this game of his." Standing up Zera moved over to one of the tall dressers against the wall and pulled open the top drawer.
"Zerachiel.. what the hell are you doing?" Domi sat up a little more watching his friend rifling through his top drawer. "your stash of money, you always hide it up here." Zera paused his eyes going wide before narrowing with an positively evil glint in them. "Mayers..i never would have taken you for this type of boy."
a positively evil grin spread across Zera's race as he pulled out a very obvious sex toy from the top drawer. Grumbling Mayers pulled his head out from under the blankets and looked over to Zerachiel, seeing what he was holding the young elf turned about 8 shades of red before leaping out of the bed and grabbed the toy from Zera hiding it behind his back.
"Mayers, love..your still naked." glancing down Mayers flushed even more seeing in his haste to get the toy away from Zera he had jumped out of bed still completely naked.
"Not bad Mayers." two arms wrapped around Mayers from behind slowly rubbing up and down his chest. "Me and patch have been looking for a new playmate." Squeaking Mayers pulled away from Seri and raced into the bathroom slamming the door behind him.
Zera was holding his sides trying not to fall over he was laughing so hard. Uriel was giggling like mad from her spot next to her husband, Blood was rolling his eyes skyward knowing all to well that was coming. Seri stomped his foot pouting and moved over the bed and sat down with a humph.
Domi had a hand over his face trying hard not to laugh at his poor husbands misfortune. "Zerachiel, you could have just asked and i would have gotten the money for you."
"Oh but then i wouldn't have found that little gem and gotten to torment your Queen."
sighing Domi pushed himself up from the bed grabbing his robe and pulling it on. He wasn't worried about people seeing him, a perk to being a dark elf he didn't care.
Reaching the small group that was occupying his room Domi placed a hand on Zera's face and playfully pushed him away. He had known the boy since he was a baby and viewed him as one of his own.
"Move over youngling." laughing Zera started to lick Domi's hand which was still on his face. "You know where the hand has been right." instantly Zera stopped his tongue still hanging out and looked at the hand before shrugging and moved over to the bed.
Chuckling Domi wiped the the slobber off on his robe and shut the top drawer instead going for one of the lower drawers. "Ever mention you are weird dad." Zera shrugged not really caring though was picking at something at the end of his tongue.
"you need to wash your hand after fun time Domi." Blood jerked from his spot and started to rub at his tongue. "Oh that was fucking disgusting." He sent a glare at his brother knowing damn well this was for last night.
The brothers had such a strong connection still even though their souls no longer resided in one body. Zera smirked to his brother. "taste good doesn't it brother." "sleep with both eyes open brother."
Shaking his head Domi pulled out a sack of gold and threw it at his lord.
"So whats the plan of action dad?"

Fire red eyes were currently boring into the ceder wood of the table that was set in front of them. Greatly resiting the urge to set the fat toad on fire Pa'agrio pulled his eyes from the table and looked at her. If he had continued to glare at the table it would have set on fire and that would not have looked good at that moment in time.
Sitting in a unused class room he god was surrounded by Ministry officials and unknown to them they were surrounded by Ifrits, fire hounds that he himself had created as his first creations.
Umbridge sat across from him, that sickly sweet smile once more plastered on her face.
With the disappearance of both Draco and Harry a wide spread investigation had been set up to try and find the two boys. Being new to both the British wizardry world and to Hogwarts he was suspect number 1 though for the boys being gone so long it was surprising it had taken them this long to bring him in for questioning.
Severus had been brought in days ago and come back out absolutely fuming and proceeded to tear up a training room.
Now it was his turn, it had probably taken them longer to get to him because he would have no record anywhere in the world. Though Kain had come up with a perfect plan in case something like this happened.
Keeping his head straight he looked out of the corner of his eyes where he knew his father was sitting on one of the empty desks, hidden away from sight and his power pulled in tight around him. Being who he was Pa'agrio was able to feel his father easily, but knew that these people would not be able to feel his power unless he wanted them to.
"Shall we begin?" Pa'agrio tried desperately not to flinch at her grating voice. Taking a deep breath Pa'agrio once more pulled in all his emotions that unbreakable calm once more washing over him.
Opening his eyes he leveled them on Umbridge once more. "What is your full name."
"Pa'agrio, no surname" Umbridge smile sweetly jotting it down. Finishing her little note which was obviously much longer then what he just said she looked back up at him. "Tea, deary." one of the ministry officials set what had to be the disgusting tea cup down in front of him. Even Eva who was the most girly of the goddesses would have been disgusted by this cup. It was overly ornate and covered in varying hues of pink.
Looking down at the cup he saw it instantly, Veritaserum. Severus had warned him about it shortly after his own dealing with her since he had given her a batch at the beginning of all of this. While to a normal human it would appear odorless, colorless and tasteless to them it was as obvious as if she had poured florescent orange oil into the tea.
To the unsuspecting human it would have looked like normal tea, but to his sharp eyes he could see the almost oil like consistency to the tea now. Suppressing a shutter Pa'agrio looked away from the cup, "Thank you, but i must decline. Unfortunately tea has never sat well with my stomach." he gently pushed the tea cup towards her. "Thank you for your kind offer though."
Umbridge frowned just slightly but just as quickly plastered a smile back on her face. "Is there something else you would care for then? We want you to be as comfortable as possible through this."
/oh what out of thumb screws and the rack?/ Pa'agrio shot a look over to the table where Kain was sitting.
/Do no tempt her father, i am sure she it would be more then her pleasure to pull them out./
"Mr. Pa'agrio, where did you receive your training?"
Sitting up a little straighter Pa'agrio folded his hands in front of him on the table. "My parents, we were unable to afford one of the fancy boarding schools like Hogwarts or Durmstrang."
"So you had no formal training for your magic."
"No, but i did have unlimited access to the wizardry library of congress." Thankfully his father had been doing research for him and discovered that library in the out side world had the largest selection of text from all over the world.
"The wizardry library of congress. Is there not a school close by for under privileged witches and wizards."
shit, they hadn't looked that far into it. "I do not know, if there was my parents never made mention of it." he looked away as if thinking.
Umbridge's smile grew even more if that was possible as she scribbled away furiously with her quill.
/we may have to wipe her memory after this and alter her notes/ frowning slightly Pa'agrio looked up at her. He would not allowed this pathetic excuse for a human to chase him off from his duty.
"How about your parents, where did they receive their training?"
"My Mother i do not know, she died when i was very young and my father does not speak of her often. My father was schooled by his father who was a very powerful Wizard."
That was a half truth, because his powers were more towards the darker side it had been his father who had been the one to school him in the use of them. Einshead had not had much say in his training as she was training his three sisters and younger brother. It wasn't until the birth of Zerachiel and Sabriel that his father had more children to train. Shilen when she had turned dark had to learn on her own because Kain had turned his back on her.
"And your grandfather?"
Pa'agrio shook his head, "I do not know his name, I only met him once in my life and that was on his death bed."
He didn't like these questions, he had a feeling by the evil glint in the toads eyes that he knew where the next line of questioning was going.
"Is it from your parents that you learned of the "gods" and "goddesses"?"
Bullseye.
Taking a deep breath he pulled his emotions in once more. "My father believed highly in them, as the tales of the Gods of old had been passed down through my fathers side as far back as our history can be traced. My mother also believed in them so much that i was named after the god of fire. It was in the library that i learned more of the lure of the gods and the creatures they had created."
Here he narrowed his eyes slightly as a small smile appeared on his face, really wanting to tell the lot that believed themselves to be so high and mighty that they were once slaves to the giants, created from the foulest remnant of the elements and such a disaster that even their own creator turned his back on them, forsaking them as a plague upon the earth. Feeling a small power flare he bit the inside of his cheek and kept his tongue.
"May i ask where this line of questioning is leading, i was under the impression that this was about the two missing boys not my upbringing and beliefs."
Umbridge faltered her smile disappearing off her face. This man was smart, Dumbledore did a good job hiring this teacher.
"Of course, forgive me." she plastered that smile back on her face. "What was your relationship with young Mr. Potter and young Mr. Malfoy."
"There was no relationship, I had only met the young boys during my class that one day. I had not had the pleasure of getting to know them aside from the few questions that Mr. Potter answered for me."
"How about your relationship with Professor Snape, the other teachers say that you two have become quiet close, saying that you spend most of your free time with him in his own personal chambers."
with out batting an eye Pa'agrio looked her dead in the eye. "he's my lover, why wouldn't i spend time with him."
The look that crossed the ministry's faces was a look Pa'agrio would have etched into his mind forever, every member looked like he had just sprouted 5 heads all of which were dripping poison instead of drool.
A small desk in the center of the room tipped over causing everyone to jump and look over. "must have been wobbly" one of the officials said, none of them could hear the howling laughing coming from the figure now on the ground.
Kain was absolutely dying on the ground he was laughing so hard.
Cracking a smirk Pa'agrio sat back in his chair. "I was just joking, I met him some years ago when he was at a potions convention State side and we became very close friends. He was the one who told me about the opening for the DADA position. I spend time with him because he is the only person i feel truly comfortable around still, I know the reputation of this position so i feel the other professors are not getting close to me feeling i will be gone at the end of this year."
Which was pretty close, they were hoping to have this Voldemort killed off before the end of the year so that way they could say "FUCK YOU ALL" to the outer world and return to their lives.
"I hate to cut this short Miss. Umbridge, but i have a class in about 10 minutes, and i am afraid i have not had time to prepare."
Not giving her a chance to recover from the shock he stood and excused himself from the room heading up for his class room. He knew that wouldn't be the last he heard from them, but he would be damn sure she would regret ever meeting him.

Up in heaven Kain appeared in his sisters bedroom still clutching his sides, moving into the large privet bathroom where he knew his sister was he collapsed to the large golden tub.
Angels bowed to the titan god as he entered the room and returned to their pampering of the several goddess that were residing in the large tub. Kneeling down in between his daughter and sister he absently started playing with the stars that filled the tub.
"What is it Kain." Eni said not removing the compress from her eyes. Her long snow white hair was pulled up and was being brushed out by one of the man angels.
Remembering why he came up he started to snicker once more.
Hearing her brother laughing Eni sighed and motioned for the angel to remove the cloth from her eyes. Sitting up slightly she turned and regarded her brother with her opal toned eyes.
"Kain, what are you laughing about now. If it is because you farted in your son's castle that is nothing new."
Huffing slightly Kain ignored the giggles from his wife and 3 daughters. Pulling away from the angels Eva waded over to her father and wrapped her arms around his neck hugging him tightly. "Hey baby girl." kissing the side of her head gently he sat down and pulled his daughter from the tub not caring that she was naked and wrapped his arms around her.
Shilen huffed from her seat across from him but smiled gently seeing he was actually becoming a father to her youngest sister.
"I had to come up and tell you guys this, none of you are going to believe it."
"oh do tell dad." looking back he watched his son walk into the room and over to Eni. Smiling Eni reached up for her husband and kissed him gently. "Come on daddy, tell us what is so funny." Murph pushed looking up at her father since he was right next to her.
"I was down with your brother because of what is going on at that school." Eni made a noise not really happy with everything her father was doing but she knew better then to take on their father.
"One of the questions this toad of a woman asked your brother was what his relationship with Severus was, and i kid you not.. straight faced he looked at her and said 'he's my lover."
There was a hush over the bathroom as that slowly sank in. Sayha was the first to recover and burst out laugh, 4 of his 5 wings wrapping around him in an attempt to hide his laughter. That seemed to break the spell over the group as the goddess all started to laugh.
Sabriel looked shell shocked but started to laugh the hardest of all of them. "my husband has been hanging out with my brother way to long." That one sentence uttered from Pa'agrio mouth had been so out of character which was why everyone was laughing so hard.
From Kain or Zerachiel.. well that would have been normal, but from the soft spoken completely serious Pa'agrio.
Giggling behind her hand Eni looked up at her brother. "You need to tell mother that, I'm sure she will find it funny as well."
Nodding Kain set his daughter back in the bathtub. "Look at that Eva, you got me wet." giggling she moved back over to her spot. "but i thought you liked being wet." standing up Kain snapped his fingers drying off instantly. "i do, but not in that way." moving to the other side of the tub he leaned down and kissed his wife deeply.
Returning the kiss Shilen wrapped her arms around Kain's neck buring her face in his neck. Feeling her mood slipping Kain wrapped his arms around her holding her tightly. "don't worry love, we'll find him." Zerachiel disappearance along with Harry's was taking a huge toll on her. Zerachiel more so then Harry, but only because Zerachiel was her precious little dancer and he had always meant so much to her.
During the past when they had huge blow ups she had fallen into deep depression and would spend hours staring at a picture of their little boy. She would never forgive herself for giving him up like she had.
Gently rubbing her back he set his head against hers just holding her close.
/be safe, little dancer/

Racing out onto the sandy beach Draco stopped just before hitting the water, throwing his head back he breathed in deep. He could feel the salt in the air and breath in the cool crisp air.
Even as far away as Hogwarts the air was stangnent with the pollution of the muggle world, even on the clearest days a haze lay over the skies surrounding the castle. Opening his eyes Draco looked up seeing the cloudless sky, the blue was so intense here it was nothing like he had ever seen before.
"Hey Draco you coming?"
Pulling his silver eyes from the sky above Draco looked over to the only three remaining of their large party. Harry, his father and Blood stood on the docks in front of them a beautiful clipper ship.
The group had parted at Dion, Sirag and Ranzus heading back to Oren to finish Sirag's C grade class change. Uriel, Maiae, and Seri had returned to Rune to inform them that they had found the two missing boys. Uriel was returning for she had her children to still take care of and so that left Blood and Zerachiel to lead the two boys to talking Island.
They were hoping with the group separating they would regain their ability to communicate with the castle and inform the Gods of where they were going. If they were lucky Kain would be waiting for them on Talking Island.
Domi had given them all money so that they could afford fair and ports cutting days off their trip if the high one favored them. Though with their running recored so far they really didn't think that was going to happen.
Seeing they were ready to board Draco moved over to them picking up the small bag Domi had given him containing clothes and food. Thankfully the bag was made of a waterproof material so if they got caught in bad weather his clothes and food would be fine.
Maiae had also given them several potion bottles all containing healing agents, he hadn't said anything about it but that was a very strong hint that they were probably going to need them.
Handing the surly looking human on the docks their tickets, Zerachiel grabbed his own bag and slung it over his shoulder. "Been a long time since we have been able to travel like this." looking over to his twin he smiled slightly looking up at the ship. "It has, and i'm glad i can do it with my son." Looking back he smiled as Harry and Draco both moved up next to them.
"Are you both ready for this?" looking at each other the two boys smiled and nodded. It was amazing how fast the two had bonded over the past few days. It seemed when you were thrown into a life or death situation you tended to forget old grudges fast.
Smiling at the two boys Zera headed up the ramp following behind a pair of old humans. Blood shouldered his bag and waited for the two boys to go on ahead of him. He didn't trust anyone on this ship and knew that if he didn't protect his nephew his brother would have his hide.
It was different then any of the children, all the children up until Caelael were basically his children as well since until the quads were born he was still apart of his brother. So he felt that same parental protectiveness that he did with his two children, even though it was obvious they weren't his he still felt the need to protect them as if they were. The only child they were not 100% sure of was Zerachiel Jr. the reason for that was because the day of his conception both he and Zera had taken Celine and if you looked closely at Z Jr. eyes while they were violet there was a crimson ring around them.
Reaching the deck of the ship Blood pushed his aura out, feeling those around him and down bellow. Because they were going to Talking Island the boat was primarily human but there were a few Elves and dwarves. Not many Dark Elves would head over to the island, it was just one of those unspoken rules that they were not welcome.
Feeling no one higher then B grade in power he wasn't as worried. With both himself and his brother they were not likely to attack the younglings.
Moving down into the bowels of the ship the small group looked for their room for the next few days. The normally 4 day trip would be reduced to 2, this being one of the fastest ships in the Dion fleet.
"Here we are." reading a peeling door Blood had to sneer slightly, you could say he had become spoiled with living the royal life most of his life. Zera had a similar thought running through his head.
Pushing the door open 4 heads poked in, "i hope no one is claustrophobic." Harry swallowed hard looking at the cramped space. It was no bigger then your average large closet but yet had 4 bunks shoved into it.
"This is going to be a long two days." Blood mumbled looking at the beds. Zera and Blood were both considered extremely tall for their race coming in at 6'6" these beds were no where near long enough for the tall men.
Sighing Zera moved into the room and slung his bag over the pole of one of the bunks before crawling onto the bottom bunk. "oh i see how it is.. i get the top bunk." snickering Zera flipped his brother off nuzzling into the pillow.
Growling Blood threw his bag over the other pole and climbed up onto the top bunk. "so grateful i am not claustrophobic." he could barely toss to his side with out hitting the roof of the room. "Oh shut up blood."
Moving into the room Harry looked at the confined space, it reminded him to much of the cubord under the stairs. Shivering slightly he looked over to where his father was laying he was curled up on the bed already looking like he was cramped on the short bed. Hanging his bag up on the other set of poles he glared seeing Draco had taken the bottom bunk.
"Bloody Slytherin." he growled playfully. Draco smirked up at him. "Mad potter?"
"Don't make me sick blood on you" Draco stiffened and looked up at said man seeing that though he was laying on his back with his eyes closed a evil smirk was crossing his face.
"Thats dirty."
"Hey you used to threaten me with your dad all the time, i finally got a family i can threaten back with." not really wanting to crawl up onto the top bunk Harry looked over to his father.
Already the man looked to be fast asleep. He had dispelled his armor when they arrived at the docks and was now just in a simple white poets shirt with black pants and a black vest. During the time he and Draco were arguing he had kicked his boots off. His hair had been pulled from it's pony tail and lay around him like a bloody blanket.
Standing there he watched him silently, the man looked innocent as he slept.
Looking around he noticed the others were also starting to fall asleep, they had been up early and none of them were morning people. He was still tired himself but did he really dare take a chance of accidentally waking his father up?
Rubbing his neck he could still feel the cold steel of the blade against his throat. As they were heading to the neutral zone Seri had gone into more depth about what his father had done.
As a dark elf during the time of war they slept during the day and moved during the night. Because they weren't welcome in any of the towns they were forced to sleep out side. Many warriors were murdered during the day so those that were still alive started to adapt to only lightly sleeping and training their body to react if they were touched in anyway.
His father had trained his body and mind that even in the deepest of sleeps to react to any new aura in the area. His body would start to wake up and his mind would start to as well and if anyone got near or touched him his subconscious would cause the body to strike out affording him a few extra seconds to wake up and see if the person was friend of foe.
Maiae had told them that every child had found out the hard way that if their dad was asleep on his back or his stomach, mainly on his stomach that this was the wrong time to approach him. Even to this day with trained guards at his bedroom door and a attack tiger in front of the fire he slept with a dagger under his pillow. His brothers swore that he slept with a hand around the hilt since he always slept with his hands under the pillow. They also wondered how their dad managed to sleep with out cutting a finger off.
Seeing he was still on his side Harry moved up next to the bed. "dad?" Zera shifted slightly, his eyes fluttering open. Blinking a few times to get them back into focus he looked over seeing his baby.
"What is it kiddo?"
shifting slightly he looked down at the bed not really sure how to ask this.
As if sensing his son's wish Zera smiled gently and scooted over on the bed towards the wall and patted the bed next to him.
Flushing slightly Harry moved onto the bed and laid down, the bed was barely big enough for his dad let alone the two of them.
No sooner had he laid don on his side his back to his dad he felt a strong arm wrap around him and pull him in tight against his chest.
"Sleep.. we didn't get much last night." Smiling, feeling a sense of security Harry closed his eyes starting to fall asleep. Just before he was completely out he felt a small kiss being placed onto the top of his head. "Love you my precious angel."
smiling more he nuzzled more into his father. "love you too.."
.x.X.x.X.x.X.x.X.x.X.x.X.x.X.x.X.x.X.x.X.x.X.x.X.x.X
A sudden violent lurch sent Harry crashing down onto the ground of their room. Another violent lurch sent him crashing into the solid metal of the base of Draco's bunk. Hissing out he grabbed his head, pulling his hand away he saw it was coated in crimson blood.
"Harry?" Looking up Zera was kneeling in front of him wide awake his armor once more covering his body. "can you get up?" Nodding Harry pulled himself up, his bag was thrust into his arms. "come on we need to get out."
Wondering what the hell was going on he didn't have a chance to ask as his father pulled him out of the room. He could hear people screaming and the sounds of splintering wood. "Dad what is going on!"
Zera didn't answer instead pulling his son up onto the deck. The minute they hit the open air the foulest stench reached his nose.
He felt like retching, never had he ever smelt something so foul.. not even the dark elven village smelled this bad. Looking around people were rushing around in an absolute panic, and he could see why.
Huge sea green tenticals were wrapping around the masts snapping the thick wood as if it were a match stick. People were piling into life boats on the side of the boat that was surprisingly void of the slimy appendages.
"Harry?" feeling something collide with him he looked back seeing a panicked Draco now clutching onto him for dear life. "we need to get off!" they both flinched hearing the cracking of wood as one of the mast can tumbling down. Two hands grabbed them pulling them away as the mast came down right where they had been standing.
Coughing hard Harry looked up at who had grabbed them. Blood had a tight hold on the two boys, his eyes were wide and there was a panicked look in them.
He was scared.. no terrified.
Harry felt his stomach dropping somewhere into his knee's Blood was never afraid.. of anything! Snapping back to reality he looked around franticly. "DAD!" Zera had been holding onto his arm when the mast had come down.
Pulling himself up he looked around franticly for the tail tell sign of his father. "dad!" grunting as he was grabbed again. Desperately he struggled against his uncle, he needed to find his dad.
"Leave him."
rushing over to the side of the ship blood picked the two boys up in his arms and lept off the side of the ship.
The water was bitter cold, it felt like thousands of white hot knives were being shoved into every part of his body. Pushing himself upwards he broke through the water gasping for air.
Looking around franticly he found Blood and Draco not far off. "Swim boy!"
"but dad!" he didn't see him anywhere around. A hand gripped his shirt tightly and started to pull him towards an steep cliff island. Those that had jumped were swimming towards what looked like a decayed dock.
"He's a big god, he'll be fine!" Blood started to pull him towards the dock. Whimpering Harry turned away from the ship and started to swim as fast as he could for the dock.
Reaching the shallow end of the water he pulled himself up against one of the pylons and turned back. He watched in horror as the ship they had been on just moments ago was pulled under.
Desperately his eyes looked around those still swimming for the shore and those under the massive dock.
Tears started to flow down his cheeks as he looked back out at the now still water where the ship had once stood.
"Dad...DAD!"
