Chapter Thirty~Eight: The world's merge, Mages speak, Xolvuns, and a talk with McGonagall

Aka: The last chapter before the Epilogue

~Master bedroom, Fourth Floor, House, Kitsune's Den, Scotland, 1995~

Zerina smiled serenely as the world around her seemed to vibrate and her magic seemed to rush out of her skin. Zerina looked down at her chest and saw the outline of her core with it's cracks. The cracks seemed to be filled it as her lingering tiredness faded and the weight that had settled on her since learning of her damaged core fell away. She let out a soft sigh as she heard the door open and Law walk into the room with Jayden in his arms. Zerina turned towards him and saw that Law was covered in a warm yellow color. Jayden was covered in a vibrant golden color that was specked with crimson red. Holding out her arms, Zerina took Jayden from Law and murmured softly, "It's happening."

Law reached out and brushed his fingers against her cheek making their magic brush against one another. Zerina felt her breath hitch at the feeling and swallowed heavily as Law murmured, "Your core...It's..."

"Whole once more," Zerina finished after regaining her ability to breath, "A gift from Gaia no doubt," Zerina looked towards the windows where the world was lit up and everything seemed to be far more vibrant than usual, "The worlds are merging as we speak,"

Law sat down next to her and wrapped his arms around her as Jayden giggled happily, "We should go to Xolvuns once we have a chance."

Zerina looked at him in surprise, "I'm surprised you're actually suggesting it."

Law looked at Jayden as he said, "Our son needs as much protection as possible. Being a registered mage-child will protect him from the world government," Law smiled as he allowed Jayden to grab his fingers, "After all, the World Government did sign the treaty saying that they wouldn't harm any registered mage children. I do like that magic enforces this rule."

Zerina let out a soft laugh before nodding, "I do too," She looked down at Jayden, "I look forward to seeing the reactions of everyone once they find out that the worlds have merged. It'll be funny."

Law smirked with a soft chuckle, "Agreed."

~Large underground chamber, Hidden manor, Italy, 1995~

"So the worlds have merged while most of the world slept," One of the cloaked figures murmured as they all sat in the chamber, "Our clan will be whole soon enough,"

Alaric spoke from his seat, "Loki and his children have awoken as have the Greeks. The King of summons is rising one more from his slumber."

"Archer?" Octavia murmured in shock and a little fear.

A low rumbling laugh echoed through the chamber as all the cloaked figures choked from the sheer presence of the being that was hidden from them. Fenrir called out, "Archer-"

"Awakened I have, dear Octavia," A deep voice boomed, "And I would appreciate it if you left my last descendants alone,"

Gasps spread through the room, Alaric murmured, "Summoner Zerina...That explains so much."

"Indeed," Archer growled at them, "Leave those she cares for alone, Horizon. She has completed the task Mother set out before her, so you will not interfere," Archer's presence grew heavier, "Jayden and Zerina are the last of my descendants alive. If you harm them from this moment on, I will kill all of you. Permanently and have Mother create another clan to take your place. Am I understood," They choked out their agreement, "Goodbye for now,"

They all gasped as the presence disappeared. Alaric was the first one to speak, "The king of the summons has returned."

"Archer," Fenrir's voice echoed through the air, "Has given us an order and one we will take to heart. The dragon king has returned," He looked at each of his family members, "Spread it around to your various contacts. Tell them that the Trafalgar's and their allies are to be left alone. Now!"

~Minister's office, Ministry of Magic, London, England, 1995~

Fudge looked up from his paper work as the door opened to admit his secretary. He noticed that she was rather pale looking and asked, "Is something wrong?"

"A man wearing a cloak of white fur with a large amethyst falcon is demanding to meet with you," She told him, "He has one of those Summoner chains,"

Fudge frowned and told her, "Send him in."

A man far taller than Fudge had ever met strode into his office like he owned the place. The man had bright crimson eyes and multicolored hair much like Zerina, Aki, and Vultan did. The man had tanned skin and wore several necklaces of fangs around his neck. The white furred cloak that his secretary had told him of brushed against the ground and looked like it had just been skinned off some type of beast. Other than that, the man wore a crisp looking black suit and had a thick golden Summoner chain sitting around his waist along with a pair of swords. The amethyst falcon sitting on his shoulder was the size of a large bald eagle with piercing amber eyes that glared at Fudge. Fudge found himself swallowing at the sight of the rather formidable looking pair. He could tell that they were both older than he was even if they didn't look it. Clearing his throat and standing, Fudge greeted the two, "Hello. My name is Cornelius Fudge and I'm the Minister of magic. You are?"

"Fern Wave," The man's voice was deep and held something in it that made Fudge want to listen, "I will not state my occupation as I doubt that you need to know. I am only here to find Summoner Trafalgar and her allies,"

"Of course," Fudge swallowed deeply, "I unfortunately do not know where they are. You would do better asking the goblins of Gringotts,"

"And where is that?" Fern glared down at him.

Fudge made a quick decision, "Selena?"

"Y-yes, Minister?" His secretary asked.

"Please send someone up here. My guest needs a guide," Fudge informed her and she quickly disappeared, "A guide will take you to them and answer any questions that you have,"

Fern inclined his head, "I thank you for that."

Fudge nodded lightly, "Has Summoner Zerina done something wrong?"

"It does not concern you," Fern replied with a frown while reaching up to run his thick fingers through the breast feathers of the falcon on his shoulder, "It is the business of the Summoners and the mages of Xolvuns not your people,"

Fudge frowned at the man, "How exactly did you get into this world?"

Fern cracked a smile that terrified Fudge, "Our world merged with yours."

Before Fudge could comment, a mousy looking man walked into the office, "You called Minister?"

"Please lead Summoner Wave to Gringotts and answer any questions he has," Fudge told the man while feeling very glad that he wouldn't be Minister much longer.

Fern Wave left his office with the man that would be guiding him and Fudge found himself reaching inside of his desk to pull out the bottle of fire whiskey he kept in there. Without a thought, he opened the bottle and began to drink from it. The worlds had merged and Fudge hadn't even noticed it. He was so going to resign from his post if the Wizengamot didn't replace him first. He was done dealing with this bullshit.

~Living room, First Floor, House, Kitsune's Den, Scotland, 1995~

"So the light show last night was this world and our home world merging?" Shanks asked earning a nod from Zerina, "And you two knew this would happen?"

Law and Zerina nodded before Law said, "We were told by Gaia-ya that this would happen. We decided not to mention it as that would have caused you all to panic and it was a long way off."

"So the Marines and everyone else are in this world?" Luffy asked earning a nod, "That means the treasures in this world too!"

Zerina cleared her throat and silenced everyone, "I know that you're all looking forward to going out and looking for it, but we need to pause here. Our worlds merged and we don't even know how the world looks now. All our maps and stuff are pretty much useless now until we can actually figure this out."

"For now, we will work on figuring out where everything is before we start to move forward," Law continued earning a few nods, "The treasure is most likely going to be a lost cause at the moment, so we need to put it out of our minds. As it stands, I think it would be for the best if we approach this calmly. Zerina-ya, Aki-ya, and Vultan-ya would you be able to make a map of the world for us?"

Zerina looked at her brother and Vultan as they looked back at her. It was possible, but the time it would take to actually do it along with the amount of magic meant that they would have to take it slow. Zerina nodded slowly, "We can do it."

"But," Aki cut off any cheers, "It will take a lot of time due to the fact we're just three Summoners no matter the fact that Law, Sirius, Remus, and Luna are mages,"

Vultan piped up, "It is likely the councils on Xolvuns will attempt to make contact with us."

"True," Zerina grinned brightly, "We can convince them to make maps for everyone. The map makers on Xolvuns are the best in the world,"

Before anyone else could speak, the fireplace roared and a goblin strode out. The goblin looked around before focusing on Zerina and Law, "Summoner Zerina and Bonded Law, a Summoner Fern Wave has come to Gringotts and is requesting to meet you."

Zerina's eyes widened and she let out a small whine as Aki groaned, "Shit."

Vultan asked the goblin, "Does the Summoner in question have an abnormally large amethyst colored hawk on his shoulder?"

"Yes," The goblin frowned and asked, "Is there a problem?"

Zerina swallowed and shook her head, "No. Please allow Summoner Fern to use the floo to come here. I'd rather get this over with as soon as possible."

"Of course," The goblin spoke slowly as he retreated towards the fireplace and flooed away.

Law looked at Zerina with a frown, "Who is Fern Wave and why do you feel scared of him?"

"He's an enforcer of the council," Zerina answered while trying to repress the urge to run away, "If he's here, the council isn't happy with me,"

Aki cleared his throat as he spoke, "Fern is a member of the Wave clan which has worked under the council for years. They specialize in tracking, capture, holding prisoners, torture, and execution. Fern specializes in Execution and is known as the councils dog," Aki looked at his little sister with a frown, "He hates Summoners that become pirates."

Everyone looked towards the fireplace as Fern walked out. Zerina swallowed as he focused on her, "Ah, Zerina. It has been too long."

"Fern," Zerina replied as she offered the Executioner a strained smile, "What does the council need with us?"

Fern chuckled as the hawk on his shoulder glared at everyone, "Straight to the point. I like that," He looked around the room, "And you have-"

"Fern you will leave them be or I will have my wards toss you out," Zerina spoke firmly making Fern chuckle again.

"Protectiveness," Fern straightened up reminding everyone of Doflamingo, "A trait that is I didn't I'd see a pirate have," Fern reached up to run his fingers through the breast feathers of his hawk, "The council is ordering Summoner Trafalgar, her Bonded, and those connected to them to come to Xolvuns,"

Law spoke while gripping Zerina's hand, "The council is aware of our status as pirates, correct?"

"Yes and they're willing to over look it due to the fact you all are the only ones with information on the world that merged with ours," Fern replied while eyeing Law with distaste, "While on Xolvuns, you will be treated as honored guests,"

"How long do we have until they require us to be there?" Law asked with a frown and a glare directed towards the Summoner.

"A week," Fern told him, "I will return here in order to use a transport ritual to take you to Xolvuns,"

"We'll be ready then," Law informed the Summoner, "Until then, please leave the property,"

Fern nodded and used the floo to leave. Zerina, Aki, and Vultan all relaxed from the tensed positions they'd taken. Aki told Zerina, "I forgot that you two knew each other."

"Don't remind me," Zerina grimaced lightly, "I'd rather not remember it," She shook her head and told them, "Let's get ready to head to Xolvuns and decide who's going,"

~Master bedroom, Fourth Floor, House, Kitsune's Den, Scotland, 1995~

"So how do you know Wave-ya?" Law asked as soon as they were done discussing everything.

Zerina groaned softly and flopped onto the bed with a sigh, "We kinda grew up together. He was my rival in everything when it came to magic. As we grew older, we became somewhat friends. When I was sixteen, Fern offered me a zeco. I guess that over the years he developed feelings for me, but I didn't see him that way," She sighed while closing her eyes, "He got angry especially after I mentioned that I was going to become a pirate. We ended up fighting and he left for Xolvuns. It was the last time I'd heard anything from him until a year before we met up. By then, he'd become a dog of the council and their most famous Enforcer. He came back and attempted to convince me to get together with him, but I refused. We ended up fighting again and it ended with me almost dying," Zerina clenched her fists, "I-I never expected to see him again unless the council was going to attempt to arrest me."

Law sat down beside her and stated, "You're scared of him."

Zerina nodded with a frown, "Yeah. He was going to kill me by driving a spear through my heart, but Aki saved me due to the fact he'd been coming to visit me..." She turned her head towards Law, "Is it bad that I'm scared of him?"

Law shook his head, "No. He almost killed you, so fearing that he'll do it again is a normal reaction. I'd actually be worried if you weren't."

"Are you mad at me for not telling you?" Zerina asked as she sat up and Law wrapped an arm around her waist.

"A bit," He admitted to her, "I dislike the fact that you kept this a secret, but I understand that it isn't something you wish to remember," Zerina leaned against him, "You have trouble admitting your fears and I've accepted that fact even if it displeases me," Law kissed her cheek, "Make it up to me by making my favorites for dinner,"

Zerina snickered softly and nodded, "Alright," She then smiled, "Hey, we'll have the chance to take Jayden to Xolvuns and get him registered."

Law frowned slightly, "Is it safe for someone his age to use a transport ritual?"

Zerina paused and thought about it before saying, "I'll ask Aki. If not, we'll have to get the things we need to register him as well as figure out who'll take care of him while we're gone. Luna has to go because I need to register her as my Serian."

"We'll figure it out," Law assured her, "Now, you go speak to Aki-ya. I have to get the crew's files ready for the next physical,"

Zerina groaned softly, "I forgot that was coming up."

"I thought you didn't mind them," Law teased her and Zerina rolled her eyes.

"Even if I love you, I hate it when you do blood work," Zerina shuddered slightly, "And you always do blood work when doing physicals,"

Law knew why she disliked it of course since they'd spoke of it during the first time he'd given her a physical. If someone somehow managed to get her blood, they could do unspeakable things to her. It was a mage thing that Law understood when he'd seen Zerina take complete control of a bounty hunter and have him slaughter his friends. Of course, she'd only done it because they'd kidnapped Bepo and a few other members of the crew after drugging them. Law had been heavily reminded of Doflamingo and the bastard's devil fruit powers. Law still wasn't okay with the idea of it even if he admitted that it was a good way to deal with their opponents. Law jolted slightly as Zerina touched his face and he shook himself before saying, "I was just remembering what you did to that bounty hunter."

Zerina grimaced and murmured, "I still dislike using blood magic unless it's for a runic array or ritual."

Law kissed her cheek before saying, "We should get started while we can. We only have a week until Wave-ya returns."

"Right," Zerina stood up, "I'll see you in a few,"

~Infirmary, Sub-basement, House, Kitsune's Den, Scotland, 1995~

Law looked up as Zerina entered the room with Jayden in her arms. She set the curious baby onto the exam table that Law had set up and asked, "Everything ready?"

"Yes," Law wheeled over the instruments he needed, "Did Sirius agree to watch Jayden?"

Zerina nodded while eyeing the instruments with a frown, "Yeah. He thought it would be a good way for them to bond."

Law told her, "If you need to leave, you can."

Zerina shook her head, "I'll be fine."

"So we need a vial of Jay-ya's blood, a few locks of his hair, a photo of him, some of his magic, and..." Law trailed off slightly.

"A gem stone that reacts to his magic," Zerina finished with a light smile, "The gemstone will allow them to narrow down the prospects of his paths,"

Law nodded before he began to get what they needed from Jayden. Jayden cried as Law took his blood and Zerina reassured the baby while keeping his magic frown lashing out. As soon as Law finished, Zerina scooped Jayden into her arms and hummed softly while focusing on calming him down. Eventually Jayden calmed, they got the hair they needed before Law waved a hand at Zerina. Zerina set Jayden down and reached into her bag. She pulled out a small white crystal ball and handed it to Jayden. He blinked at the ball before reaching for it and giggling as the ball lit up with Jayden's magic. Law smiled slightly and asked, "What exactly is that?"

"It's a storing crystal," Zerina explained, "You can store magic into it. Since Jayden's a baby, he'll be leaking out some of his magic into the surrounding area,"

"Do you have more?" Law asked earning a nod from Zerina, "Where?"

Zerina carefully took the crystal ball from Jayden and handed the baby a fox plushy for him to cuddle with. She took out a box from her bag and set the now golden and red ball into her bag before telling Law, "You remember that chest I keep in our room?"

"The one you placed in the corner?" Law asked earning a nod, "You have more in there?"

Zerina smiled lightly as she handed Law the box to place both the vial of blood and the vial of hair into it, "Yeah. I also keep most of the items I use for the various magic branches I know. I don't use most of them, but they're there if we need them."

Law placed the items into the box before handing it back to Zerina and beginning to clean up, "So what are you going to do now?"

"I'm going to get that photo of him and then I'm going to see what gems react to him," Zerina picked up Jayden after placing the box into her bag, "After I get some food into our son. Do you want anything from the kitchen?"

"Have one of the elves bring me some coffee," Law told her, "I'm going to head up to the library and read more of the books you have on healing magic,"

"Alright," Zerina kissed his cheek before heading out of the room, "I'll make sure to have someone get you when it's time for dinner,"

~Living room, First Floor, House, Kitsune's Den, Scotland, 1995~

Zerina swallowed as Fern returned to the Den, "Follow me, the ritual will be taking place outside."

"Of course," Cole glared at the hawk sitting on Fern's shoulder which was returned, "How have you been?"

"Better," Zerina led the way outside where everyone was waiting.

Soon enough, the ritual had started and they were soon whisked off to Xolvuns.

~Transport room, Tower of Gaia, Xolvuns, New World/Calm belt, Atlantic ocean, 1995~

Zerina, Aki, Vultan, and Fern all closed their eyes as they felt the magic of the island pour over them. Zerina murmured softly, "Damn, I forgot how it felt to be here."

A cheerful voice spoke from the edge of the platform they were on, "Welcome to Xolvuns! My name is Ashley-" A gasp was heard, "Zerina?! AKI?!"

"Cousin," Zerina and Aki jumped off the platform to greet the mainly aqua haired woman with grins on their faces.

The small river dragon sitting at her side raced to greet Cole and Hemangini. Zerina wrapped her arms around the petite woman with a grin on her face, "How've you been?"

"I got my dream job," Ashley told her as her leaf green eyes glowed with joy, "And Marius asked to Bond with me,"

"Awesome!" Zerina exclaimed with a grin.

"What about you?" Ashley asked, "Did you take care of business here?"

Zerina nodded as she released Ashley in order for Aki to hug her. Aki informed Ashley, "Zerina had a baby, so we'll need to head to the registry as soon as possible."

Ashley squealed and shouted, "I knew it would happen. Details!"

~Guest room, Tower of Gaia, Xolvuns, New World/Calm belt, Atlantic ocean, 1995~

Law and Zerina settled down for bed as Law commented, "Your cousin is very..."

"She reminds you of Luffy with how excitable she is," Zerina giggled softly, "I know, but Ash has always been like that,"

"You're close to her?" Law asked earning a small shrug from Zerina.

She laid her head on Law's chest as she admitted, "We got close after my mom died, but we ended up losing that during the months after my last fight with Fern," Law wrapped his arms around her, "She just couldn't understand why I didn't like him and I was never able to really explain it."

Law murmured, "You can use the time we're here to get closer to her again and invite her to come to the Den."

Zerina smiled softly and kissed the skin over Law's heart, "I think I will."

~Council room, Tower of Gaia, Xolvuns, New World/Calm belt, Atlantic ocean, 1995~

Zerina tried not to fidget as the greater council stared down at them. The Grand-master peered down at her with a kind smile on her weathered and wrinkle ridden face, "And your Bonded has killed this Albus Dumbledore?"

"Yes, Ma'am," Zerina spoke respectfully.

The Grand-Master wore a golden robe whereas the rest of the council wore dark blue robes with a patch to symbolize their magical paths. The Grand-Master sat on a raised platform with three other mages that acted as the neutral votes. The Grand-master had silvery-white hair and dark brown eyes that reminded Zerina of mud. The Grand-Master hummed softly before saying, "I see. You picked a good Bonded, Child."

"Thank you, Ma'am," Zerina tried to ignore the amusement drifting over from Law's side of the bond while sending her annoyance.

The Grand-Master nodded before asking, "Will you allow us to view the memories of your time in this world?"

Zerina hesitated before asking, "You will not require the more personal ones?"

The Grand-Master let out a soft laugh, "I doubt any member of this council wishes to see what you and your bonded get up to in your bedroom, so no."

Zerina's cheeks flushed and she quickly agreed to allow the viewing.

~Guest room, Tower of Gaia, Xolvuns, New World/Calm belt, Atlantic ocean, 1995~

Zerina flopped down on the bed after shucking off the itchy black formal robe she'd been wearing for the last six hours. Law looked at her with amusement, "I assume it went well?"

"Yes," Zerina groaned softly, "I'm so happy that we only need to stay here for a week. I miss Jayden,"

"I got his registration finished," Law informed her, "I also ran into another member of the Archer clan. A Mister Dasher,"

Zerina frowned as she looked up at him, "Mostly grey hair with red, green, and white tossed in? Black eyes and a dull brown chain? About Luffy's height? And an annoyingly high pitched voice that made you want to strangle him along with his degrading tone of voice that made you wish to take his head off or at least cut out his vocal cords/voice box? Also, did he have a brown rat on his shoulder?"

"Yes," Law eyed her with amusement, "I take it you don't like him,"

"If I could, I would toss him bleeding into a the den of a sea king," Zerina growled softly, "He's an ass in a bad way and a coward. There's a reason he only has two summon contracts and neither of them are very powerful,"

Law chuckled softly, "I suppose you don't see him as family."

Zerina shook her head with a low sigh, "He is family regardless of whether I like him or not."

"I don't think I'd be able to deal with him," Law admitted.

"Why do you think I've never suggested to visit Xolvuns while traveling away from Amazon Lily?" Zerina asked making Law pause, "I avoid the members of my clan when I can. A majority of the clan that doesn't stay on Keller head are on Xolvuns. While I do enjoy most of them, I can't stand some of them,"

"It's understandable," Law reached out and cupped Zerina's chin getting her to focus on him, "You wish to teach Jayden to do the same,"

"Family is family regardless of our feelings," Zerina murmured as she slowly rose up onto her hands and knees to crawl over to Law, "As such, we have to accept the good and the bad while guarding them as fiercely as possible," She settled into Law's lap with her arms around him, "The words of the Archer clan are this, 'The strength of the pack is the wolf and the strength of the wolf is the pack'. All Archers are raised to view family as the most important thing and we'll always be loyal to family. You, the boys, Shanks, Mihawk, and Luna are family. Sirius and Remus are becoming family. I can't say anything for the Strawhat's just yet, but there is potential there," Zerina looked at Law with a soft smile, "That's why I'll always be loyal to you guys no matter what,"

Law wrapped his arms around her and murmured, "I think I like the Archer clan's way of thinking."

Zerina let out a soft laugh before initiating a kiss between them.

~Council room, Tower of Gaia, Xolvuns, New World/Calm belt, Atlantic ocean, 1995~

The Grand-Master spoke strongly as Zerina eagerly awaited the end of this final meeting, "With what has been discussed in these halls, I believe that our best course of action is to meet with our magical brethren within this new world and combine our resources. We will bring them into the light and remind them of their roots!" Cheers broke out, "Summoner Zerina Trafalgar nee Archer, the information you've granted us is of great value and will be put to good use. Is there anything that we, the Great council, give you in return?"

Zerina swallowed heavily as she hadn't expected the offer, but regardless she would take it. Taking a deep breath, Zerina spoke to them, "Honored Council, I wish only for my family and I to face no persecution by the mages of Xolvuns just because we're pirates. I ask that you do not allow the histories of my Bonded and I to affect anything that concerns our son as well as any other children we may have. If you can give me this, I will be content."

Whispers broke out among the council and the Grand-Master spoke softly with the mages around her. Zerina tried not to twitch as they peered at her. She prayed to Gaia that they would accept this. She knew that Jayden and any other children she had would be viewed in a bad light simply because their parents were pirates. Zerina never wished to have her children looked at like the Marines looked at Ace nor did she wish for her children to be executed just for being the children of pirates. If the mages were on board with this, Jayden and his future siblings would have a better future in front of them. Finally, one of the male mages stood from his seat and set his hands onto the railing before him. He had dark red hair and golden eyes as well as black fang markings underneath his eyes. He peered down at Zerina and she recognized him as the alpha of the Beast Mages, Oberon High. He spoke in a voice that carried the growls of a thousands beasts, "Summoner Trafalgar, I have not seen you in a very long time."

Zerina bowed lightly, "That it has, Alpha."

He grinned down at her before speaking to the rest of the council, "We all know why she asks this of us. We've seen what the World Government does to the children of pirates. We saw what happened to 'Fire Fist'," Whispers broke out but quickly silenced as Oberon peered at them, "We have long since despised the World Government for their actions during the void century. We despise them now because of everything they've done since. You all know what would happen if one of Summoner Trafalgar's children fell into their grasp," He nodded to the council, "I suggest that we give into her request. We're always looking for ways to undermine them and this is one of them. I say we take it."

Shouts of agreements echoed around the large hall. The Grand-Master silenced them before speaking to Zerina, "If we do this, will you vow to the Mother that you will never attempt to outright go against us?"

"So long as this Council upholds it's side of the bargain and allow my family peace, I will give you that vow," Zerina stared straight into the eyes of the Grand-Master as she spoke.

The Grand-Master was silent for a little while before saying, "We will vote on it. Those in favor of this course of action, a green fire ball. Those that wish to deny it, a red fire ball."

Zerina watched anxiously as one by one every member of the council raised their hands and a fire ball appeared over them. A sigh of relief left her upon seeing a majority of the room holding up green fire balls. Zerina bowed lightly, "You will not regret this, Honored Council."

~Transport room, Tower of Gaia, Xolvuns, New World/Calm belt, Atlantic ocean, 1995~

Ashley hugged Zerina and told her, "I'll miss you, Cousin."

"Family will always be welcome at the Den," Zerina told her with a soft smile, "Just send a message first,"

"Of course," Ashley released her and Zerina joined everyone on the transportation platform.

Law wrapped his arm around Zerina, "Ready to go home?"

"Definitely," Zerina leaned against him, "I'll be happy to never have to stand in front of the great council again,"

A soft laugh came from the side along with a male voice saying, "I don't think you did too badly, Vixen."

"Alpha," Zerina greeted the council man, "You do realize how fucking scary it is to be in a room filled with people that can kill you for the smallest slight, right?"

Oberon shook his wild mane of hair as he let out a booming laugh, "I've never feared my colleges. The only one I've ever feared in that room in the Grand-Master, but I'm fairly sure you've made quite a good impression on her."

Zerina grinned at him, "The big bad alpha is scared of the little granny."

Oberon chuckled before gesturing to Law and the others, "Introductions are in order, Vixen. I have little time before I'll have to return to those boring chambers."

"Right," Zerina quickly introduced everyone to Oberon before saying, "Guys this is Oberon of clan High. He's the leader of the Beast mages and a dear friend of the Archer clan. He's the one that taught me everything I know about tracking among other things,"

Oberon focused on Law, "So he's your Bonded?" Zerina nodded lightly and Oberon looked him over, "I'd say just barely an 8 out of 10, but that's because I'm a fan of his grey eyes."

Zerina giggled softly as Law offered the man a raised eyebrow. Law told him, "I believe Zerina-ya considers me a 10 out of 10 and her opinion matters far more than that of man-whore that can't keep it in his pants."

Oberon let out a roar of laughter at that, "Oh I like him. You chose well, Vixen. I look forward to see what your children are capable of and how they'll turn out."

~Living room, First Floor, House, Kitsune's Den, Scotland, 1995~

Upon entering the living room, Zerina made a bee-line for her son. Sirius had been entertaining the baby by making colorful bubbles flow out of his wand. The dog-animagus smiled as Zerina scooped up her son and began to check him over, "I assume that the trip was a success."

"Who's my little Jay," Zerina cooed at her son before replying, "Yup. I managed to work out a deal that will ensure my children won't be persecuted just because they're the children of pirates," Jayden gurgled happily and snuggled into his mother's embrace, "Oh Gaia, I've missed you, cub," She breathed in his scent before asking, "Did he behave?"

"He was a bit of a brat during the first few days of you being gone, but he calmed down about half-way through the week," Remus informed her with a light smile.

"Did anything happen?" Zerina asked the wolf-man.

Remus nodded lightly, "He turned the house purple, Sirius ended up being unable to talk unless he sung, and Jayden managed to get himself to float on his magic alone while chasing a butterfly that had flown in through an open window."

Zerina giggled softly as Law walked in and asked, "What happened?"

"Our son is going to be a powerhouse when he grows up," Zerina informed him with a soft laugh.

~Headmaster's office, Hogwarts, Scotland, 1995~

"I have to thank you," McGonagall told Zerina as they sat down together, "Everything feels a lot better now that the oppressive magics gone,"

"It's no trouble," Zerina sipped the tea before her with a soft smile, "I'd hate to see children in pain or dying as well as losing so much history,"

McGonagall leaned back in her chair, "I've made Filius my Deputy Headmaster. I've also managed to find secondary teachers for every class as well as someone to take over Transfiguration. All I need is for you to take the Potions teacher position as well as the Head of Slytherin even if it's only a year."

"I've talked it over with Law and we agreed that it would be a good idea," Zerina informed McGonagall as she swirled her tea inside of the cup, "Jayden's too young for us to be able to travel with him safely. Plus, a year off of traveling will allow us to get a good stock of everything as well as adjust to the changes of the world," Zerina looked at the Professor curiously, "I must ask who you've gotten for a secondary teacher in Potions,"

"The council offered up some of their potions masters," McGonagall explained, "I believe my choice's name is Ulric of clan Fear,"

Zerina nodded lightly, "He's a good potions master and is a very fine teacher. He's a mixed being much like Professor Flitwick only he's drayden."

"Drayden?" McGonagall asked curiously before taking a sip of her tea.

"Drayden are basically dragons with a human form," Zerina explained with a slight smile, "The magic of the drayden prevents any of them from being less than half drayden. From what I know, Ulric is one of those that come from a family of drayden that always end up with humans for mates," Zerina cleared her throat, "I believe we've gotten a bit side-tracked,"

"Right," McGonagall shook her head, "Along with some potions masters, the council offered teachers for various subjects that we don't currently teach,"

"Of course, they wish to make sure the next generation is educated properly," Zerina wasn't surprised that the council had made such a move, "I assume that they have decided to send some of our own mage children here?"

"Yes," McGonagall looked slightly nervous, "I'm a bit worried they won't fit in very well,"

Zerina nodded lightly, "If you want, I do have a couple suggestions to help things along."
