26. Chapter 26

Chapter 26

"You're telling me this insane woman right in front of us, is Scathach from the Celtic myths," Morgana said incredulously. Not believing a word of what her son had just told her.

"From the brief memories, I saw in her mind, yes!" Revan confirmed seriously.

"What makes you so certain she is Scathach from the legends?" Morgana asked intently.

"I saw her walking through a village that looked like it was from the middle ages, and the peasants she passed addressed her as Queen Scathach. I saw her fighting, and people calling her spear Gae Bolg like from the myths. I also saw her running towards a black portal, which looked exactly like the portal I created for us to travel to the Shadow Realm. For that reason, I presume Scathach ended up trapped in the Shadow Realm for the past nearly two thousand years and seeing as she can't be killed. It's believable that she doesn't age as well, which explains how she's still alive today," Revan explained.

"If what you're saying is true her body is clearly immortal, but her mind isn't," Morgana remarked having never expected to meet someone out of a myth when they came here.

"It's clear there's no one else here in this dimension. With no one else around Scathach likely went insane from having no one to interact with for the past nearly two thousand years," Revan said with no judgment in is tone, as he was sure he would have gone insane in her position.

Morgana hummed. "We need to know what happened to the Shadowkahn that were in the Shadow Realm my son. The only problem to acquiring that information is Scathach is the only one that can tell us anything, and she's in no position to do so."

Revan watched as Scathach muttered to herself about her spear. "It's a shame there's no spell that can restore someone's sanity. Given that it would be very useful right now."

"While there's no spell that can just restore someone's sanity, there is a ritual that can help people with mental trauma. The use of such a ritual might help Scathach with her condition," Morgana remarked. She only had a small amount of knowledge regarding spells and rituals that affect the mind, as she wasn't interested in learning such things compared to combat magic.

"What does the ritual do?" Revan inquired having never heard of a ritual like that before.

"Using this ritual you remove the emotions from the memories that caused a person significant trauma. So while the person will never forget what happened to them, they will no longer feel anything when they think back to those memories. Over time those memories will become a bad dream, and eventually fade into the subconscious to be forgotten," Morgana explained patiently.

"That could work on Scathach. I presume the emotions she felt during her solitude contributed to her going insane, and if I could remove the emotions from those memories. I could possibly restore Scathach's sanity," Revan said very interested in trying something like that.

"And when Scathach's mind has been restored or she is at least capable of holding a conversation, we can find out what happened to the Shadowkahn that should have been here," Morgana said.

"The sooner we begin the sooner we can get some answers then," Revan remarked.

"What are you two talking about? Is it about the giant next to us?" Scathach asked smiling widely however Revan and Morgana ignored her.

"What's the name of the ritual Mother? And how does it work?" Revan questioned thinking perhaps he should increase his knowledge about the more esoteric magic in the world, and not just focus on combat magic.

"The rituals name is Remotionen Orgaborum, and it works by focusing on the memories you desire, and removing the emotions associated with it," Morgana said showing Revan the wand movements that go along with the ritual circle. "Also you will be performing the spell, my son since the spell requires a lot of power to cast, and with so many memories so go through. It's best you're the one to cast the spell, given that you have more power than I do."

"I understand," Revan said walking towards Scathach. "Hopefully this goes off without a hitch." He then made the roots force Scathach to kneel on the ground, that way he could touch her head easier.

"HAHA again, again," Scathach said madly.

Revan created a ritual circle around Scathach, and once that was done went through the wand movements for the spell portion of the ritual. He then placed his wand on Scathach's forehead to begin the ritual.

He used Legilimency on Scathach to find the memories he wanted to use the ritual on. With her mind being so chaotic making him unable to navigate her mind, he used the spell on the first memory he came across. Once the spell had been cast on that memory Revan slowly removed his wand from Scathach's forehead extracting a black misty substance.

Revan then flicked his wand to the side and watched as the black magic representing Scathach's mental trauma evaporated. Scathach looked surprised once the trauma had been extracted from her mind, before looking slightly calmer.

'That's a good sign,' Revan commented getting ready to repeat the process for who knows how long.

Revan then spent the next nine hours removing the mental trauma from Scathach's mind. After the first few hours, he had an easier time navigating Scathach's mind and could focus on the memories of her time trapped in the Shadow Realm. When he reached the seventh hour he could see entire years' worth of memories of being trapped in the Shadow Realm, as they had blended together in her mind. This meant he could extract the trauma for those years in one go.

By the end of the ninth hour, he had removed the trauma for century's worth of memories, and it showed on Scathach's face. While she still had a look of insanity on her face it was nothing compared to earlier.

"I need a break," Revan exclaimed once nine hours had passed.

"Considering how you've been doing this for the nine past hour's straight. I'd say you've earned it," Morgana commented sitting on a chair she had conjured, and keeping a very close eye on Scathach in case she tries anything.

"The treatment is working. You can already notice the difference," Revan pointed out motioning towards Scathach's face.

"She's still insane, but she's definitely getting better," Morgana admitted keeping a wary eye on her.

"All this work just for a few answers," Revan said.

"Answers, I have plenty of answers," Scathach said giggling.

Revan simply ignored her. "I can't wait until this is over."

"This is a delicate operation, my son. Therefore nothing can be rushed if we want everything to proceed without a hitch," Morgana said.

"I know Mother. Anyway, I'm going to carry on removing her trauma," Revan stated having had enough of a break, and wanting to be finished as soon as possible.

Seven hours later Revan had removed the mental trauma for a thousand and two hundred years' worth of memories. He was currently removing the trauma of a memory of Scathach fighting an imaginary opponent when he was suddenly pushed out of her mind. His mental probe getting destroyed was so painful that in the real world he stumbled backwards a bit in pain.

"Revan," Morgana said worriedly when she saw him stumble backwards. With a look of fury on her face, she looked towards Scathach and asked. "What did you do to my son woman?"

"I simply forced him out of my mind," Scathach said her voice no longer sounding insane instead her voice was full of regal and cheerful tones. "After all it's rude to enter someone else's mind, and have a look around."

"My son was restoring your insanity you ungrateful woman," Morgana said dangerously raising her wand, and thinking of striking down Scathach even if it was pointless.

"I have never been insane," Scathach said frowning before gaining a concentrated look on her face.

With his headache finally subduing Revan watched as a torrent of emotions flashed across Scathach's eyes from shame, sadness, anger, relief and other emotions he couldn't discern.

"You've realised the truth haven't you," Revan said wearing his public mask.

Scathach looked defeated upon finding out the truth. "The solitude was too much for me, and I became insane. I simply wondered these lands barely existing, and fighting whatever my mind conjured up for me to fight. I thought you were figments of my imagination when I attacked you. For that, I apologise for my actions. If I was in the right state of mind I would have never have attacked you two," Scathach said apologising profusely.

Morgana didn't look accepting of the apology since Scathach attacked her son, but Revan, on the other hand, accepted her apology. If Scathach was mentally sound when she attacked he would have killed her without a second thought. However, it's only because she was insane and wasn't in control of her actions, that stayed his hand from killing her.

"I accept your apology Queen Scathach," Revan said graciously.

"Thank you for accepting my apology, and for helping cure me of my insanity. I am very grateful," Scathach said with a regal nod of her head. "By the way, I never got your names strangers."

"I am Lord Revan le Fey, and this is my Mother Morgana le Fey," Revan said noting the lack of reaction to their names, however seeing as she was born before Morgana's time that wasn't surprising.

Morgana was surprised Revan introduced her using her real name, but then again Scathach had heard her call Revan her son. Therefore it would make sense to use her real name since Scathach wouldn't believe anything else.

"It's a pleasure to meet you two," Scathach said before gaining a look of near desperation on her face. "From what I saw in my memories you can create a portal between dimensions can't you?"

"I can yes. That's how I ended up in the Shadow Realm," Revan stated.

"I've never heard it referred to the Shadow Realm before, only the Land of Shadows, but both titles are an adept description of this bleak place," Scathach said before shaking her head and focusing on what was important. "You possess the ability to create a portal back to Earth correct?"

"I do yes," Revan said demonstrating the ability by creating a black portal next to him.

"I can finally leave this miserable place," Scathach said barely holding back her tears of joy as she watched the portal disappear.

"How did you end up in this place Scathach?" Morgana asked with Scathach noticing the lack of use of her title. She didn't say anything as she wanted so desperately to leave this place and feared saying anything could antagonise the people in front of her, making them leave her here forever.

"After all, you are considered a myth back home, and to find you alive in this place was a massive surprise," Revan said what was a massive understatement.

"I'm considered a myth," Scathach said only tiny part surprised. "It is as I feared. I've spent several centuries trapped here if I'm considered a myth in today's world."

Morgana and Revan traded looks before Revan said gently. "Queen Scathach you have been trapped in the Shadow Realm for nearly two thousand years."

Scathach had a look of surprise and terror on her face. "I've been here that long," Scathach said devastated.

"I'm afraid so Queen Scathach," Revan said watching Scathach process such a life changing fact.

"You have to be lying," Scathach protested. "The Age of the Gods was diminishing when I was alive. So how can a demigod be alive nearly two thousand years later?"

"I was born at the end of the Age of the Gods, and was transported a thousand and five hundred years into the future somehow when I was a baby, that's how I'm alive today," Revan said knowing what he was saying sounded absurd, but it was the truth.

"You're not lying are you?" Scathach asked dejectedly already knowing the answer.

"Sadly not Queen Scathach," Revan said sympathetically.

"How did you end up here? And how are capable of living for so long? As shown during our fight you're clearly not human," Morgana said wanting to get to the reason why they were here.

Scathach frowned knowing she would never get along with Morgana, and the feeling was mutual if the look in Morgana's eye is any indication.

"I will tell you how I ended up trapped in the Land of Shadows if you promise to take me back to Earth," Scathach said adamantly as she wanted to leave this place, and never return.

"You're in no position to make any demands of us Scathach, seeing how your weapon less, restrained and naked before us," Morgana said coldly.

Scathach upon hearing she was naked looked downwards and saw apart from the roots covering her breasts and womanhood, every other part of her body was on display. Unlike most women, Scathach didn't react refusing to show weakness and wasn't that bothered by her nudity.

"While that is true, I possess the information you desire. Therefore I propose a deal. I tell you how I ended up in the Land of Shadows and why I'm no longer human, and in exchange, you will take me back to Earth with you, and tell me what you are," Scathach said the last part directed at Revan. "I've been going over my recent memories, and while you did defeat me which is an impressive feat. I saw how you instantly regrew the lower part of your leg, which is something a normal demigod shouldn't be capable of."

Revan weighed up the deal in his mind. He needed the information about the Shadowkahn, and torture wouldn't work on Scathach. He could tell that she was an obstinate one, and was no stranger to pain. Furthermore, he would have taken her back with him to Earth anyway, as no one should be trapped in this place by themselves for nearly two thousand years.

"Just extract the information from her my son, we don't need to make any deals with her," Morgana said coldly.

Revan knew that wouldn't work given that Scathach's mental shields were too strong, and he had already made up his mind. "Very well I agree to your deal."

"Excellent," Scathach exclaimed enjoying the look of annoyance on Morgana's face.

"So tell me Queen Scathach, how did you end up in the Shadow Realm?" Revan questioned making it clear she didn't have an option.

"I was the Queen of Dun Scaith as the myths no doubt say, and things were peaceful in my kingdom until one day demons started attacking my kingdom out of nowhere. For months I fought off these demons, and I learned much about them during that time. The demons would arrive in Dun Scaith by a black portal that was created by what I presumed to be the leader of their forces."

"Over time the demon world on the other side of the black portal was named the Land of Shadows by my citizens, due to the demons attacking us being shadow demons. One day I had personally defeated another group of demons that had attacked one of my villages when I saw their leader retreating into a portal. Thinking I could follow him and end the threat to my domain, I charged after him into the portal."

"When I landed in the Land of Shadows I fought and killed the demon leader and his soldiers that supported him. It was after my victory that I realised I saw no portals back to Earth. And so I searched the Land of Shadows for a way back home. Knowing it might take me a while to return home I created a safe haven in a cave using runes that I carved into the rock, which purified the dark magic in the air making it safe for me to breath."

"Years passed with me drinking the dark water here which I could only purify so much of. For food, I resorted to eating the remains of the demons that didn't evaporate when I killed them," Scathach admitted shamefully.

"You did what you had to do to survive. There's nothing wrong with that," Revan said reassuringly. As no one had the right to judge others for what they had to do to survive in a hopeless situation, making Scathach smile.

"Thank you for saying that Lord le Fey. It was drinking and bathing in the water here, eating demon flesh, and the dark magic in the air that caused me to slowly lose my humanity. I didn't notice it at first but after years passed I noticed the changes to myself and realised I had become half demon which is how I became immortal, and why I still look so young nearly two thousand years later. However, I didn't care about becoming half demon. I just wanted to escape this place and go home."

"When several decades had passed and I found no way back home. I finally accepted the truth I had been denying myself since I arrived here, which was that I was stuck in this desolate place. When I started despairing at the truth I had finally accepted. I remembered the leader of the demon forces that I had killed could create portals between dimensions. So I thought if I become a demon, and a strong one at that, I could open a portal back home and escape this place," Scathach said sadly.

"I take it things didn't go as planned," Revan said since he could sense the woman was only half demon, signifying her plan didn't work as intended.

Scathach's eyes gained a hollow look no doubt thinking of her time trapped here because of her plan failing. "No, it didn't. I tried everything I could think of to become a demon, but everything I did failed. I bathed in the blood of powerful demons, performed rituals with demons as the sacrifice, and feasted on their bodies. None of it did what I wanted. I certainly became more powerful and gained the ability of high level regeneration, but not the ability I desired. "

From what Revan could sense Scathach had the magical reserves that were high Jounin borderline S-class and had regenerative abilities that were nearly on par with a Greater demon, despite being only a half demon. It was these abilities that made killing her so difficult and made her overall threat level high S-class.

"A century passed before I gave up on becoming a demon, and gaining the ability to create portals. I was so desperate to go home that I stopped hunting the demons of this place. The reason why was so they could find a way to travel to Earth. I didn't even care that people would die when the demons arrived on Earth. I just wanted to leave this place," Scathach said watching Revan's for his reaction to her confession.

Revan smiled reassuringly. "I would have done exactly the same in your position if it meant leaving the Shadow Realm. Especially after being trapped here so long as you have."

"You mean that," Scathach said relieved and surprised thinking he would condemn her for her actions.

"I don't care that you tried to become a demon or that you were willing to sacrifice people in your attempts to leave," Revan said as he didn't care for people that weren't his friends or family. "While most people will judge you for not caring about the fate of strangers, I certainly won't."

"I'm happy to hear that," Scathach said sharing a smile with Revan. Glad he wasn't a judgemental person like certain heroes she had met in the past.

"So what happened next?" Morgana questioned impatiently. While she did find Scathach's history interesting. She would rather hear about what happened to the army of Shadowkahn that were stationed here.

"I waited centuries but not a single demon came close to opening a portal, and when it became clear none of the demons were ever going to gain such an ability I decided to kill myself," Scathach admitted shamefully, getting surprised looks from Revan and Morgana.

"Someone as strong as you tried to commit suicide," Revan remarked astonished seeing as he can tell Scathach has a strong will, and those types of people don't tend to up give easily.

"It's not my proudest moment but I had been trapped here for several centuries by that point, and I couldn't handle it anymore. Therefore I tried to kill myself. I tried committing suicide in numerous ways, but they all failed. I even lost my wand and my other spear in my attempts to take my own life. It was a few years later from what I can remember, that I became insane as the isolation was too much for me to handle."

"It was when I became insane that I no longer cared about anything and went on a rampage, and slaughtered all the remaining demons in the Land of Shadows," Scathach said preferring not to think about the centuries she spent insane as it was a source of shame and failure for her.

'It looks like we finally learnt what happened to the Shadowkahn that were left here,' Morgana thought believing Scathach was telling the truth. As she had seen her power first hand and knew she was strong enough to take on an entire army by herself.

Revan seeing Scathach's look of shame said. "You spent several centuries in isolation without losing your mind. Very few people could accomplish the same. Therefore you should be proud you lasted as long as you did."

Revan didn't care about Scathach's feelings as she was a complete stranger to him, but that didn't mean he was completely heartless after hearing her story, and having Scathach in a better mood would mean he would have an easier time getting answers from her.

"Your attempts to cheer me up are appreciated," Scathach said giving Revan a small smile. "But my time in the Land of Shadows is something I must come to terms with myself."

"I understand," Revan said knowing something's take time to recover from, and only the person themselves can overcome it.

"I've told you my story, now I want to hear yours. My first question is what you are? It's clear to me you're not a normal demigod," Scathach said like a Queen giving an order to a subordinate that made Morgana narrow her eyes in discontentment.

"You are no longer a Queen witch of Dun Scaith. Therefore I suggest you remember your tone Scathach, seeing that you're not in a position to demand anything from us," Morgana said scornfully.

"My apologies I got ahead of myself. I'm so used to speaking to my subjects that I forgot I was speaking to an equal," Scathach said the last part while only looking at Revan, the insult clear for all to see.

"There's no need to worry Queen Scathach, I took no insult from your tone," Revan said as he had sometimes talked to his friends in a cold tone when he hadn't meant to. This meant he understood where Scathach was coming from.

"So will you tell me what you are then?" Scathach asked as she had numerous theories about what Revan is, but only one way to find out the truth. "Actually before you tell me could you release me from my restraints?"

"Why would we do that?" Morgana inquired suspiciously.

"I'm not going to attack you as that would hurt my chances of going home. So I see no need for you to keep me restrained like this," Scathach commented flicking what parts of her hands that was free to her body. "Unless you're keeping my restrained like this because you want to look at my naked body," Scathach said the last part teasingly.

"I restrained you like this as it was the best way to make sure you weren't going to attack us again. It had nothing to do with seeing you naked. Plus if I had wanted to have seen you naked I wouldn't have had the roots protect your modesty," Revan said calmly not rising to the bait.

Scathach internally smiled learning he wasn't a male that would take advantage of a female, but that could because his Mother was with him. Hence she would have to wait and see.

"Then you should have no problems releasing me," Scathach said not enjoying being held captive especially in this position.

"Very well we'll release you from your restraints," Revan said not seeing any harm in it. After all, Scathach needs him to get back to Earth. So she wouldn't risk attacking him, and him killing her in response. Not when she was so close to her freedom after so long.

Revan made the roots release her after he turned around so he wouldn't see Scathach naked which she secretly appreciated, and Morgana reluctantly removed the chains holding her in place. Scathach stretched when free as her previous position wasn't very comfortable at all which made her large DD-cup breasts bounce, making Morgana feel jealous as she only had a medium sized chest.

Scathach noticed this and shot Morgana a superior look while thrusting her chest forward making Morgana narrow her eyes in displeasure and envy. Turning towards Revan as she wasn't going to ask Morgana for anything Scathach asked. "Lord le Fey could you create a cloak for me to cover myself with?"

Revan with a flick of his wand created a large black cloak and then sent it to Scathach while still looking away. "Here you go Queen Scathach."

"Thank you Lord le Fey," Scathach said and was pleased to notice the cloak was large enough to hide her figure. This meant Revan was a true gentleman and wasn't trying to take advantage of the situation to give her revealing clothes.

"You can turn around my son Scathach is done putting on her cloak," Morgana said lying wanting to embarrass Scathach for her earlier actions.

Scathach with a sense of urgency put on the cloak faster, and just in time as well. Given that she covered her nudity a split second before Revan turned around.

"That cloak will do until I can get you some proper clothes," Revan said looking at Scathach whose womanly body was now hidden by the large cloak.

"Thank you that would much appreciated," Scathach said politely before shooting an annoyed look at Morgana, who had a look of innocence on her face that didn't fool her.

"As you are no doubt aware I am a demigod," Revan stated finding it weird he was actually admitting such a thing to someone, and a stranger at that.

"Yes, I've met demigods before like my student Cu Chulainn who was a demigod. You hide your divinity well. I would have never known you were a demigod if it wasn't for the abilities you showcased during our fight that belong exclusively to demigods," Scathach said not knowing Revan's magic no longer has the feel of divinity to it any more.

'So the myth about Cu Chulainn being a demigod is true then,' Morgana thought wondering how many more myths are actually true.

"I suppress my magic so no one can recognise that I am a demigod, giving me an advantage over any enemies I might encounter," Revan said telling a half-truth as he wasn't going to tell Scathach the truth.

"A cunning strategy," Scathach said with a nod seeing it as a wise decision. "However that doesn't explain how you regrew back the lower part of your leg."

"Let's just say I have something extra in me, and leave it at that," Revan said his tone making it clear he was done talking about this topic.

Scathach not wanting to push things nodded graciously. "Since we're no longer enemy's, do you think you could give me my spear back?"

"I sent your spear to Earth so you couldn't mentally control it while you were restrained. Once we've returned to Earth with us you can have your spear back then," Revan said.

"I'm glad to hear my spear wasn't destroyed," Scathach stated letting out a relieved sigh. Revan understood where she was coming from. If someone had taken his wand he would want it back in a safe condition.

"Are you ready to finally leave the Shadow Realm Queen Scathach? And return back to Earth?" Revan asked knowing how big of a thing this was for her.

"Yes," Scathach said desperately before calming herself down. "Yes let's return to Earth."

"Very well then," Revan said creating a black portal next to him. "Ladies first," he said motioning towards Scathach.

"What a true gentleman," Scathach said amused before practically rushing through the portal.

Morgana watched as Scathach pretty much ran through the portal, but she couldn't blame her not after being trapped here for so long. It did amuse her that Scathach thought Revan was being a gentleman by letting her go through the portal first. Revan was letting her go first as he wasn't going to let a person they had just been fighting stand behind him, where she could then stab him in the back. She nodded glad Revan did what she would have done.

"Come on my son lets return home, and decide what to do about Scathach," Morgana said walking through the portal with Revan.

Exiting the portal that closed as soon as they were through it they found Scathach kneeling on the ground crying tears of joy in the back garden

"I'm free, I'm finally FREE," Scathach shouted happily to the heavens.

Revan smiled sadly knowing anyone would do the same after nearly two thousand years of being stranded in a place like the Shadow Realm.

Scathach got off the ground and inhaled the fresh air. "I can smell the fresh air," Scathach said amazed. She then looked up at the sky. "I can feel real sunlight on my skin after so long."

Scathach then turned around to Revan with a look of elation on her face and pulled him into a tight hug. "Thank you so much for freeing me," Scathach said appreciatively squeezing Revan so tightly as if she was afraid he would disappear the second she let go.

"You're welcome Queen Scathach," Revan said ending the hug as he didn't like strangers hugging him.

"You can call me Scathach Lord le Fey. You of all people deserve to call me by my first name for what you've done for me," Scathach said smiling at him while Morgana watched on silently.

"If we're not using title than you may call me le Fey," Revan affirmed.

"Not Revan?" Scathach inquired disappointedly.

Revan shook his head. "Only my friends can call me by my first name, and we are not friends," Revan informed calmly, but firmly making it clear it wasn't up for negotiation.

"Well then I hope one day I earn the right you call you a friend and address you by your first name," Scathach said looking forward to the challenge of becoming his friend.

"Perhaps you will," Revan said giving Scathach a small amused smile.

Scathach then looked around and raised her hand, and a few seconds later her spear appeared flying towards her from the opposite side of the house.

"Without my spear, it felt like I was missing a piece of myself," Scathach commented once she caught the spear and twirled it around for a few seconds.

"My son why don't you get Dobby to prepare a meal for us, while I take Scathach to my bedroom to find some new clothes for her to wear, as she would no doubt appreciate a freshly cooked meal after so long," Morgana suggested.

"I shall get right on that Mother. I hope you find some clothes to your liking Scathach," Revan said politely before walking towards the house.

"Come on Scathach let's find you some clothes to wear as you can't keep wearing that cloak," Morgana said walking towards the house with Scathach walking alongside her. "After all, I don't expect you want to be wearing that cloak when it vanishes, and in front of my son as well." She said amused.

"No, I'd rather that not happen to me," Scathach said not showing the embarrassment she was feeling on the inside from such a thought.

"Me neither," Morgana said walking up the stairs and entering her bedroom with Scathach. "There's a shower through that door if you want to clean yourself up after so long."

"What's a shower?" Scathach asked unfamiliar with the term.

Morgana looked confused for a second before remembering Scathach had no understanding of the modern world. "Come on I'll show you what a shower is, and how to use one," Morgana said almost kindly.

Once Morgana showed Scathach how to work the shower she was picking clothes for Scathach to try on while she was washing herself.

"This feels wonderful," Scathach said moaning in pleasure through the bathroom door having never experienced something like this before.

"I thought you would appreciate it," Morgana said knowing it was going to be a trying task for Scathach to get used to the modern world.

"Why are you doing this for me? It's clear your son is neutral towards me and is currently helping me out of sympathy, but you don't like me at all. So why show me how to use a shower or let me wear your clothes? If you don't like me," Scathach said exiting the shower and drying herself.

"I couldn't let you walk around my son wearing inappropriate clothes. As a result, I decided to give you some of my clothes so you had something decent to wear. And for showing you how to use a shower, I didn't want to smell your bad odour anymore, that's all," Morgana said lying as Scathach excited the bathroom naked since she saw no reason to cover herself with a fellow woman in the room.

"Are you afraid I'll try and seduce your son?" Scathach asked picking up a blue dress and thinking no and putting it back down.

Morgana snorted. "Plenty of women have tried to seduce my son, and all have failed. So I have no fears of you succeeding in that regard."

Scathach picked up the silent message of that you aren't beautiful enough to succeed and felt insulted. "Well it's a good job I have no desire to seduce a teenager then," Scathach said bending over to show off her larger curves compared to Morgana.

"I'm glad we're in agreement then," Morgana growled annoyed making Scathach mentally cheer in victory.

Scathach seeing a purple dress she liked went to try it on before stopping. "Could you make some modifications to the chest area? Seeing how much larger I am than you in that department," Scathach said innocently that was only betrayed by the look in her eyes.

"I hate you so much Scathach," Morgana said flatly while waving her wand and making changes to the dress.

"The feelings mutual," Scathach said bluntly.

The two of them right there and then knew there wasn't a single chance of them ever getting along with each other at all in the future. Both could tell the other was powerful, and royalty from the way they carried themselves. This meant they would clash as they were used to being the one in charge. Their conflicting personalities also meant they wouldn't get along with each other. One was reserved, quiet and manipulative. The other was direct, bloodthirsty and honest. This meant they were complete opposites of each other.

"We will never get along with each other since we clash too easily," Morgana admitted deciding to be truthful with the woman she was planning on getting to teach her and Revan the rune magic she used. "But that doesn't mean we can't be civil with each other."

"I agree. After all, it would be bad manners on my part as a guest to insult the elderly Mother of the man of the household," Scathach said innocently having put on the purple dress that showed of her bountiful curves.

"And as a host, I should ignore the words of a senile two thousand year old woman," Morgana said smiling as if speaking to a complete idiot. "Actually I do believe with your age that makes you the oldest woman on the planet. And with you being as old as someone's great grandmother times a hundred, I don't think that will help with your future courting prospects."

Scathach eye twitched in anger she wasn't that bad looking. She knew she had large curves and was fairly pretty to look at, but that didn't mean she wasn't that undesirable to men right? She had noticed Revan hadn't looked at her like a woman, but that could just because he saw her as an enemy at the time, not as a woman. She was sure that was it, but now she felt the need to check she wasn't unattractive after spending so long in the Land of Shadows.

"Seeing as your still single I don't think you have the right to talk to anyone about courting prospects," Scathach said making Morgana bristle at her audacity. "Now come, Morgana, I'm sure le Fey has a meal prepared for us."

"I did not give you permission to call me by my first name," Morgana said darkly following Scathach out of the room.

"You call me by my given name. So I only thought it fair to call you by your first name as well," Scathach said tauntingly.

'I cannot kill her,' Morgana repeated to herself angrily. 'Not until she's taught us how to use her rune magic at least.'

Revan was in the dining room with plenty of food prepared for Scathach as he expected her to be like Morgana when she first gained a proper body. He didn't have to wait long as Morgana entered the dining room looking annoyed, with Scathach behind her looking pleased with herself.

Revan did a double take upon seeing Scathach. She was wearing a long flowing purple dress that accentuated her lovely curves and showed a hint of cleavage. Her purple hair reached her lower back and now looked beautiful and smooth, seeing as it had now been washed. She looked much better than when he had seen her last. Scathach looked much cleaner and held herself more confidently, and the smile on her face helped show off her goddess level looks.

With how much cleaner Scathach looked and the way she carried herself, he noticed her features much more clearly. She had goddess like features that made her seem above normal people. Her face has high cheekbones, full pink lips, an attractive nose and her red eyes that would be of putting to some people, but in his opinion only made her look only more attractive in his eyes. In all Scathach was a tremendously beautiful woman that not even the likes of Fleur and Mei could compare to.

Scathach noticed Revan staring at her before he got himself back under control making her smile internally to herself in relief that she was still attractive to men, and to a person that knew she was half demon. She did wonder why Revan didn't look away in disgust at the fact she was half demon, nonetheless, she wasn't complaining. In fact, she felt oddly touched Revan still found her attractive after everything she had done to survive.

"Please sit Scathach, and help yourself to whatever you want," Revan said motioning towards the table.

"Thank you very le Fey," Scathach said sitting down regally like the Queen she is and eating like a noble.

Revan could tell Scathach wanted to eat at a faster pace but was holding herself back. Perhaps to not look uncivilised in front of them.

"You don't have to eat so regally in front of us you know. You haven't had a proper meal in nearly two thousand years. So it's okay to eat without any manners this time," Revan said gently.

Scathach stopped her fork in mid-air that had a tiny piece of chicken on it and asked unsurely. "Are you sure?"

"I am yes," Revan answered.

"In that case," Scathach said putting down her fork and ripping off a chicken leg and tearing into it with her mouth.

"I see you're enjoying your meal," Revan said amused as Scathach finished the chicken bone leaving nothing but the bone left.

"What I'm hungry," Scathach said defensively filling her plate with food.

"Why my son might not mind your lack of manners. I still expected more from a Queen, but then again I should have expected no less from a backwards Queen like you," Morgana commented of handily while eating her food elegantly.

"And yet this backwards Queen managed to defeat you in a fight. How embarrassing it must be for you to rely on your son to defeat your enemies," Scathach said like she was sharing an amusing story, but the look in her eyes said otherwise.

"I thought it would be a good experience for my son to fight you. However, I did expect you to last longer than you did against my son. I guess the myths about your fighting prowess have been greatly exaggerated as the years passed," Morgana said with a malicious smile.

Revan ignored the insults being traded between Morgana and Scathach as he could tell the two of them didn't like each other, and this was probably going to be the norm between them. For the duration of the meal, he occasionally made conversation with Scathach when she wasn't insulting Morgana. But when he wasn't talking with Scathach he observed her to see how she was faring.

There were times throughout the meal that Scathach would gain a hollow or depressed look in her eyes before quickly covering it up. It was clear she was still distressed by her experience in the Shadow Realm despite his help with her trauma. To be fair he does think going insane, and being trapped for nearly two thousand years is something that is impossible to fully recover from.

She might be functioning well and if you weren't looking she would seem perfectly normal, but he was sure the complete opposite was going on inside her mind. It was forty minutes later when the meal was over and Scathach had her fill that Dobby appeared to clear away the plates.

"Should Dobby clean the table Revan?" Dobby asked looking at Scathach out the corner of his eyes wondering who Revan's guest was.

"Yes were done with our meal, and it was a wonderful meal as always Dobby," Revan said enjoying how Dobby squirmed in embarrassment at the compliment. "Would you like some desert Scathach? Dobby does a wonderful chocolate cake," he said looking at Scathach.

"I've never had chocolate cake before. Hence I believe I would like to try some of your wonderful cooking Dobby," Scathach said smiling kindly at Dobby.

"Dobby will get right on it Missy," Dobby said excitedly before disappearing in a loud bang with the dirty plates and leftover food.

"He's an eccentric elf isn't he?" Scathach asked amused noticing how Revan treated Dobby kindly unlike some wizards she had known. It was a good indication of his character to her.

"That he is, but I enjoy his personality. It's much more preferable to those bland house elves I've heard about," Revan responded.

"True, normal is always so boring," Scathach said finding normal people so uninteresting to deal with.

A few minutes later Dobby returned with the desserts, and Scathach loved the chocolate cake to Morgana and Revan's amusement. Once they had their desserts it was time for a serious discussion between the three of them.

"What will you do now that you're free Scathach?" Revan inquired.

"I'm not sure. I've dreamt of being free for so long I have no idea what to do now that I'm actually free," Scathach replied hesitantly.

"I have an offer for you Scathach. You can stay here with us, and we will teach you everything you need to know about the modern world. That way you can move freely about the world without attracting attention to yourself," Morgana said knowing her plan was going to work.

Revan and Scathach were surprised by the offer knowing how much Morgana disliked her. This meant they were unsure as to why Morgana would want Scathach to reside in the same house as her.

"And what would I have to do in return?" Scathach questioned knowing this generous offer wasn't for free. Revan stayed silent wanting to see how things played out.

"I want you to take my son as your student," Morgana stated.

Scathach stayed silent thinking the offer over. She could tell Revan was courageous, very strong, ruthless in a fight, and wasn't cruel like his Mother. It didn't hurt he was one of the most handsome men she had ever seen, and he was only a teenager. She could only imagine how handsome he would be when he was an adult.

She did need knowledge about the current world as she imagined it had changed quite a bit while she had been away, and if she didn't want to stumble her way through learning everything about the world she would need a guide. Revan suited that purpose perfectly for her as she enjoyed his presence. She could tell it would take a while to get past Revan's walls and become his friend, but she enjoyed a good challenge.

"I agree to your deal. I will take le Fey as my student," Scathach announced.

"Excellent," Morgana stated smiling pleased with herself.

"I look forward to learning from you Scathach," Revan said politely looking forward to learning from her, give that he knew Scathach can teach plenty about runes.

"You as well Revan," Scathach said with a smile and seeing Revan's annoyed look elaborated. "Now that you are my student from this moment onwards, I will be addressing you as Revan. seeing as I always address my students by their first name, and if you want me to teach you will let me call you Revan."

Revan was annoyed but learning rune magic from Scathach was more important than her using his given name. "Very well Scathach you can use my first name," Revan said reluctantly.

"I'm glad we could come to an accord," Scathach said having lied about always using her student's first name. She thought addressing Revan by his first name will help her become friends with him faster. As she desperately wanted a friend after having no one to speak to for so long, and she knew she would never become friends with Morgana, so that left only left Revan as the only option.

Morgana watched as Scathach and Revan talked about teaching each other their respective topics, and was feeling satisfied that her plan had worked. The reason she made the offer was because Scathach's use of rune magic was too valuable to let pass through her fingers. Therefore she needed a reason to make Scathach teach her and Revan rune magic. However, with them not getting along, she knew Scathach would never teach her how to use rune magic. So she made that offer.

Forcing Scathach to teach Revan how to use rune magic in exchange for staying here was too good of a deal for Scathach to pass up, and it didn't help Scathach seemed to have taken a liking to Revan, which only increased the chances of the deal being accepted. With her having forced the deal on Scathach as she didn't have much of a choice in accepting unless he wanted to be kicked out, meant any resentment Scathach felt about being made to teach would be directed towards her and not Revan.

This meant Scathach's relationship with Revan wouldn't be strained, and Revan's education in rune magic wouldn't suffer for it. Once Revan learnt Scathach's rune magic he would then teach her, meaning she still won in the end.

Nearly a week had passed since Scathach had agreed to take Revan as her student making it the start of August, and much had happened during that time. For the first few days, Revan went through all the books he had about the muggle and wizarding world with Scathach. So she could see how far society had progressed during her imprisonment.

Scathach was amazed by how far muggles had progressed and was interested in the Elemental Nations when Revan mentioned them. Once Scathach had a grasp of how things worked in the world, Revan took her to visit the muggle and wizarding world. It was amusing to Revan seeing Scathach react to the simplest things, but he made sure not laugh. As he didn't want her to feel like he was making fun of her and making her feel inadequate, which would only damage her current mental state.

Consequently, that's what both of them did for the next few days. Spend time in the wizarding and muggle world to help Scathach acclimatise to this time period. During the evenings Scathach and Revan would go through any books she wished to read, and he would answer any questions she had. Scathach did come across a book about Arthurian legends where he had to explain that his Mother wasn't the same person that committed those terrible deeds in the legends. It was another version of her.

Scathach believed Revan but she made a note to keep a closer eye on Morgana in the future. The reason he hadn't started learning anything from Scathach yet was because he could tell she was still unsettled from her experience in the Shadow Realm and was in no condition to teach him anything. To fix this issue he asked Scathach if she wanted to go travelling for a few weeks since he thought that might help her recover.

Scathach agreed immediately as she wanted to see new sights after seeing the same thing for nearly two thousand years. He asked where did she want to go, and after hearing about the Elemental Nations from him she said she wanted to go there. He agreed but did warn her about the villages might be after him, due to having magic known as Wood Style.

Scathach was disgusted when he explained everything to her about what happened with the Leaf Village earlier this year, and why his Wood Style was so important to them. She promised as his teacher to deal with anyone that tried to kill or abduct him, which made him smile.

"Very well if we're going to the Elemental Nations we're going to need supplies and you're going to need a new wand. Seeing as the Elemental Nations is a dangerous place to travel," Revan said sitting next to Scathach who had a book in her lap.

"I haven't had a wand in over a thousand years, it'll be peculiar having one again," Scathach said thinking back to how her last wand was destroyed in a suicide attempt.

"I imagine you might also want to make your body suit again, as it would offer you more protection than normal clothes," Revan said as Scathach was wearing jeans and a red turtle neck sweater since she preferred muggle clothes to wizarding clothes.

"Yes if what you told me about the Elemental Nations is true then my current outfit won't be adequate. In that case, I'll need you to buy me some materials so I can make a body suit and another spear since I usually fight with two spears," Scathach requested.

"Two Gae Bolg's, no wonder you were feared so much," Revan commented surprised. One spear was difficult enough to deal with. He could only imagine how dangerous she was with two spears.

"The original Gae Bolg I gave to my student Cu Chulainn when he had completed his training underneath me. My current spear is just a pale copy, as the original was much more dangerous," Scathach said as the original Gae Bolg had the ability to target the hearts of your enemies due to a powerful curse. Her Gae Bolg doesn't possess such a powerful ability.

"Even with a copy, you are still a dangerous woman," Revan stated. In his opinion, she was the second most dangerous woman he had ever met, second only to his Mother.

"Thank you for the compliment Revan," Scathach said pleased and enjoying the flicker of annoyance he had when she called him by his given name.

"I will need to create a fake identity for you so we can travel where we want in the Elemental Nations without being stopped all the time. For that reason, what do you want your last name to be for the identity I'm creating for you?" Revan inquired.

"Hm I've never had a last name before, but I'll think I'll use Lethra as my last name. That's right, I'll be known as Scathach Lethra," Scathach answered confidently happy with her choice.

"May I ask why you chose Lethra as your last name?" Revan asked.

"My Mother was born in Lethra, a place in Scotland. So it seemed appropriate for me to use it as my last name," Scathach replied smiling while thinking about her Mother who taught her how to become a warrior.

"It's a wonderful name," Revan said with a small smile thinking it's great she's honouring her Mother.

"Thank you," Scathach said as Morgana walked into the room.

"My son I need to speak to you in private," Morgana stated.

"Certainly Mother," Revan said standing up but before he left he shot Scathach a teasing smile. "Try not to make a mess of things while I'm gone."

"I am not messy in the least Revan. I have been the perfect guest," Scathach protested indignantly.

"Really," Revan drawled looking towards a couch that was covered in a blanket and had Gae Bolg leaning against it. Scathach had to sleep on the couch since there were no spare bedrooms in the house. Not that Scathach was complaining as it was better than her previous accommodations.

"That was one time," Scathach said referring to the time she made a massive mess of the living room while waking up.

"I believe you," Revan said insincerely while leaving the room with Morgana.

"I'm not that bad," Scathach said loudly as they left.

"Yes you are," Revan shouted back the humour in his tone.

As soon as Revan and Morgana left Scathach's smile left her face, and her eyes gained an empty look seeing as she hated being on her own. After spending so long in isolation she's desperate to have human contact again. That is why she spends as much time as possible with Revan, so she isn't reminded of her time by herself in the Shadow Realm. She even enjoys trading insults with Morgana as it means she isn't alone anymore.

'Hurry back Revan,' Scathach thought desperately looking towards where Revan had left the room.

"What did you want to talk about Mother?" Revan inquired once they had sat down in the study.

"I wanted to talk about a couple of things but first I wanted to talk to you about living arrangements. Given that Scathach can't keep living on our couch for who knows how long like a disgusting slob," Morgana said scornfully.

"It's not like she can sleep anywhere else Mother," Revan said knowing Scathach actually enjoyed sleeping on the couch thanks to the Shadowkahn and clones he had watching her, as he didn't trust her yet.

"I'm aware it's not her fault. That's why I was thinking of purchasing a new house, one with more spare bedrooms. That way if we have any more guests, they won't have to sleep on the couch ruining the look of the house," Morgana said.

"Instead of buying a new house I could create an island on top of a leyline where we could build our own house to our own specifications. This way the wards surrounding our new house can be powered by the leyline, resulting in them being that much more powerful than they would otherwise. Making our new house safe from any powerful attacks," Revan said thinking how secure an island in the middle of nowhere would be for them.

Morgana leaned back in her chair in thought. "I think your plan is a great idea, my son. Though the only thing I would change is that you make the island large enough for a castle to be built on it."

"You want to build a castle on the island," Revan said surprised.

"Having a castle would offer us many benefits, and with a large island, you and Scathach can train without attracting any attention towards yourselves. Since unlike you, I can't see Scathach ever returning to the Shadow Realm for any reason to train," Morgana said.

"Your right about that, from the few conversations we've had about the Shadow Realm, I can tell Scathach absolutely hates it, but not without good reason," Revan said.

"Then we agree about creating a large island to create a castle, and to offer you a large amount of space to train with Scathach when the time actually comes for such things," Morgana said with a hint of contempt at the end.

"Scathach is in no condition to train me so far, and I thought if I pushed her for it I would only end up making things worse. Making me wait even longer for the training," Revan explained.

"You choose the correct decision my son, but that doesn't mean I'm happy about her not fulfilling her end of the deal so far," Morgana said narrowing her eyes in anger.

"Wasn't there something else you wanted to talk to me about Mother?" Revan asked to get her mind of Scathach.

"Yes with Scathach finding out that you're a demigod through no fault of your own, steps need to be taken to ensure no one discovers you're a Nephalem. As Scathach no doubt thinks there might be something extra to you, and I don't want her digging deeper and discovering what you are. Because who knows what she will do with such information if she discovers the truth," Morgana said.

"It would be disastrous if anyone found out what I was. So what do you suggest I do to stop anyone from discovering the truth about me?" Revan questioned knowing how serious this was for him.

"I suggest you cast the Fidelius Charm on yourself to hide the fact you're a Nephalem. With the fact you're a Nephalem hidden in your own soul no one can ever figure out your secret, making you safe from those that would hunt you down for what you are," Morgana said.

"That's a brilliant idea Mother," Revan exclaimed giving her an impressed look.

"It was nothing my son," Morgana exclaimed proudly. "You'll need to modify the spell seeing as your hiding a secret about yourself and not a location, but once that's done all you need to do is cast the spell, and the secret of you being a Nephalem is safe forever."

"Then let's get started Mother," Revan said eagerly.

Revan with Morgana's help modified the Fidelius Charm to hide a piece of knowledge instead of a location. The charm took a while to cast seeing how complex it was, but once it was casted Revan was now the secret keeper of the fact that he was a Nephalem.

"Do you remember what secret I casted the Fidelius Charm on?" Revan inquired to Morgana to see if the Fidelius Charm was really working or not.

Morgana went to speak when she paused and a frown appeared on her face, trying to recall what Revan casted the Fidelius Charm on.

"It appears my son I don't remember what secret we were talking about earlier, meaning the Fidelius Charm was a success," Morgana said happy to know it works. Given that the secret must have been something incredibly important for Revan to cast the Fidelius Charm on it to hide it.

"Good that means no one can ever figure out what I am," Revan rejoiced before looking at Morgana. "I am a Nephalem."

Morgana blinked remembering everything she had just forgotten. "I remember now."

"You're the only person I'm going to share this secret with. I know the information can never be shared with another soul, but I'd rather not take any chances of my secret being revealed, if I tell too many people what I am," Revan revealed.

"Good your secret of being a Nephalem is something that must never be leaked to the public or there will be panic amongst the streets. This means you can't tell a single soul what you are, even your girlfriend when you get one, as teenage hormones can make you do foolish things when you shouldn't," Morgana commanded.

"Don't worry Mother I won't tell a single soul," Revan reassured knowing his secret was too big to tell anyone.

"I'm glad to hear it. However, you mustn't forget the Fidelius Charm only hides you being a Nephalem to those of equal power to you or those weaker than you. So a more powerful being than you could still find out what you are, and while they could tell someone what you are, that person wouldn't retrain the information if they were as strong as you or weaker than you," Morgana warned.

Revan nodded. "I won't forget Mother, but the only beings that I can think of that are stronger than I are at this point power wise are the tailed beasts. Even if the tailed beasts told their jailor what I am, they would immediately forget, meaning my secret would still remain safe."

"That is true but that doesn't mean you should let your guard down," Morgana stressed before relaxing. "However enough about the serious things I wanted to talk about. How are things progressing with Scathach?"

"Things seem to be going well between us, and for the moment I'm helping Scathach adjust to the modern world. I did notice Scathach is still troubled by her time in the Shadow Realm, and the look of hollowness on her eyes isn't a good indication of her mental condition. That is why I suggested to her we go travelling. As I thought it would help her recover, and Scathach picked the Elemental Nations to travel to," Revan disclosed.

"You do know the Hidden Villages will be after you for your Wood Style don't you?" Morgana asked worried for her son.

"I'm aware Mother, that's why I'm going to avoid the countries that have a major Hidden Village in them, to decrease my chances of running into any of their shinobi, and if I do meet any that try and kidnap me, I will kill them," Revan finished deathly serious.

"Good never show mercy to an enemy," Morgana approved before frowning. "While this trip is necessary to help Scathach so she can teach you her rune magic, someone needs to stay here to deal with the goblins as they build our new residence. And there's no way Scathach and I can go on a trip together as we hate each other, defeating the purpose of the trip helping Scathach heal from her trauma."

"I don't like the idea seeing as I've known Scathach less for a week and I don't trust her, but what if Scathach and I go the Elemental Nations by ourselves," Revan commented.

"I don't like the idea of you travelling with a person we barely know and don't trust my son," Morgana said not liking the idea of Revan travelling with a person they don't trust and isn't completely mentally sound.

"I don't like it either, but it would only be for three weeks max. Seeing how I would need to be back in time to collect my things for Hogwarts, and for the Quidditch world cup if I go," Revan remarked. "Plus this trip needs to be done now. Who knows what Scathach will be like in a few months having only experienced short trips to the outside world? She needs to travel freely for a few weeks, as it will go a long way to helping her. And when Hogwarts starts again I won't be able to take Scathach anywhere until at least Yule."

Morgana sighed. "I don't like it my son, but it seems like it's necessary for you to go to the Elemental Nations with Scathach by yourself. Without this trip, I doubt Scathach will be in any condition to teach you rune magic anytime soon, which defeats the purpose of even allowing her to live here."

"Seeing as I have your approval I'll start making plans to visit the Elemental Nations in two day's time, as that will give us plenty of time to acquire anything we need for the trip," Revan said.

"If you're leaving in two day's time, when are you going to create the island for our new home?" Morgana asked.

"I was going to do it in a few hours when it was pitch black. That way no muggles could see what I was doing," Revan stated.

"Then I better come along with you when you create the island. So I know where our new home is, and can direct the goblins to it when they start building our new castle," Morgana said.

"I'll also take Scathach with us, seeing how she'll enjoy being out and about," Revan said.

When it was 11 pm at night Revan teleported the three of them to the west coast of Wales in a county called Ceredigion. Scathach and Morgana watched from the top of some hills next to the sea, as Revan casted a weather spell to create some fog to decrease visibility in the surrounding area. That way the muggles were less likely to notice something.

Despite spending most of his time helping Scathach adjust to the modern world he still travelled to the Shadow Realm for training. Like going over the books he had bought which is where he had learnt the fog spell from.

Once there was plenty of fog which didn't affect Revan's sight in the slightest, he flew out to sea several miles from where Scathach and Morgana were standing, as there was a leyline there. He wasn't that far out they couldn't see him at all, but he wasn't close enough that they could see what he was about to do in great detail.

"How is Revan planning on creating an island anyway?" Scathach inquired very interested in seeing what was about to happen.

"I have no idea," Morgana replied watching Revan intently.

Revan after casting a bubblehead charm on himself flew downwards into the ocean until he reached the bedrock and using magic cut out a massive piece of Earth, and brought it to the surface. Once he was sure it was secure he started using Earth Style to create more land making the piece of earth even larger. By the time he was done using Earth Style the island that was going to be his new home was two miles in diameter.

He then started setting up wards and enchantments to prevent muggles and wizards from finding the island. For the moment he was refraining from setting up the more powerful and obscure wards he knew, as he didn't want the goblins to know about them. Therefore basic wards and enchantments would do, and with the island being unplottable. It's not like anyone would find it before he had set up the more powerful wards.

Revan then flew back over to Scathach and Morgana who both had an impressed look on their faces. "What did you think?" Revan asked landing in front of them.

"That's was most impressive Revan. I've never seen someone create an island before. That performance was definitely worth waiting out in the cold for several hours," Scathach praised. Thinking Revan's Father must have been a God of magic for him to have inherited the amount of power necessary to pull off the feat she had just witnessed.

"It was wonderful watching you work my son, and the island is perfect for our needs," Morgana said proud of what her son had accomplished. Seeing as creating an island of that size required a massive amount of magic, which her son clearly had plenty of.

"Seeing how late it is we better head back considering what the three of us will be doing tomorrow," Revan said placing his hands on their shoulders.

"What will we the three of us be doing tomorrow?" Scathach asked confused. Not that she was complaining, as she enjoyed any new experience after having nothing to do for so long.

"You and I will be shopping tomorrow, while my Mother has business with the goblins," Revan said before teleporting them back home.

The next morning the three of them were in Diagon Alley with Morgana wearing a black dress, Revan black robes and Scathach muggles clothes which were comprised of jeans, a blue turtle neck jumper, a jacket, and a bracelet on her right arm underneath her jumper. The bracelet was covered in runes that would stop anyone from sensing she was a half demon. Scathach had many admirers due to her beauty, but she ignored them as she was more interested in looking around Diagon Alley.

"This place is amazing," Scathach said walking beside Revan and looking at the large groups of wizards together, and the various shops.

"We can see any shops you want later, but first we need to go to Gringotts," Revan said gesturing to the bank at the end of the alley.

"If you told me Goblins ran a bank just last week, I would have laughed at you," Scathach said since during her time they were warriors, not bankers.

"Things change over time," Morgana said knowing that better than anyone else.

"So true," Scathach said being civil with Morgana since they were in public, and it would be unfitting of them to insult each other in such a public manner.

Entering Gringotts the first thing they did was create an identity for Scathach. Her new name was Scathach Lethra, and she was a witch from America. Once records of Scathach were created they then moved onto their next piece of business, hiring the goblins to build a castle for them. Morgana and Revan went over the details with the goblins and had Morgana assigned as the overseer of the project. That way she could handle anything that popped up while he was out of the country.

Morgana suggested the two of them should go shopping for Scathach, given that she would be spending a while with the goblins. To make sure the contract for the construction didn't try ripping them off. They agreed with Scathach making a parting comment about getting some new clothes since not all of her clothes fit her properly. Only Morgana picked up on the fact Scathach was insulting her lack of breasts when compared to hers.

When the two of them were outside Gringotts Revan asked. "Where do you wish to go now?"

"I'm thinking we get my wand first, and then buy the materials needed to make me a new body suit and spear," Scathach answered.

"Ollivanders is this way then," Revan stated guiding Scathach towards the shop.

Ollivander was surprised when Revan visited his shop again so soon but quickly started helping Scathach find a wand. Eventually, Scathach ended up with a wand that was fourteen inches long. Made of Beech wood which shows someone is wise and had the core of a Thestral hair that represented death.

The two of them then went and bought the materials that Scathach needed to create a new body suit and spear. Revan ended up buying a large number of materials. So if something happened to Scathach she could replace whatever item she had lost, without coming back to Diagon Alley to buy new materials. They then went into the muggle world and bought some clothes that were the right size for Scathach, and returned to Diagon Alley afterwards to meet up with Morgana.

"I take it you have everything you need then," Morgana said looking at Scathach as they were walking towards the Floo.

"I do yes," Scathach said carrying a bag that was full of scrolls that had all of her items sealed away in them.

"Good then we only have one more destination to visit," Morgana remarked.

"Where's that?" Revan asked not remembering her mentioning anywhere else this morning.

"While I was dealing with the goblins it occurred to me to visit the Ministry while we're here, so Revan can register me as his proxy. That way I can start forging some connections in the Ministry while you two are travelling," Morgana answered.

"Connections are important for a ruler," Scathach commented, as creating ties with other kingdoms in her time had helped create peace between her kingdom and others.

Scathach also noticed Morgana calling Revan by his given name and not her son. She remembered the fact she couldn't tell anyone Morgana and Revan were related, as it would raise questions about where she had been all his life. She had no idea where Morgana had been while Revan was growing up, and she had a feeling she wouldn't know any time soon.

"Registering you as my proxy should be easy. All I have to do is visit the Wizengamot office, and assign you as my proxy," Revan said entering the Floo and travelling to the Ministry.

"So this is the Ministry," Scathach remarked looking around the atrium.

"I'll show you around another time when we aren't busy, but first we need to take the lift," Revan said ignoring the stares he was getting as people talked about the demon slayer. Scathach followed him ignoring what the commoners were doing, as she had learnt to ignore them when she was Queen.

It didn't take them long to register Morgana as Revan's proxy in the Wizengamot, and with how excited the secretary was in meeting him. He was sure everyone in the Ministry would soon know about Morgana being assigned as his proxy. When they arrived in the atrium on their way back home, they encountered some familiar faces.

"Lucius and Narcissa it's good to see you again. How has your summer been?" Revan inquired smiling as he approached the two of them who were by themselves.

"Revan a pleasure to see you, and our summer has been fine thank you for asking," Lucius said noticing the Ministry employees that were looking in their direction, and thinking how good it looks for his family to be seen as friends with the demon slayer.

"You've certainly grown over the summer Revan," Narcissa said giving him a hug which he returned. She noticed how much more handsome Revan had become and thought amusedly how girls will be throwing themselves at him when Hogwarts starts again much to his annoyance.

"I had a recent growth spurt," Revan said smiling. "How's Draco?"

"Draco's fine. All he can talk about at the moment is the Quidditch world cup later this month," Lucius responded.

Lucius taking note of the two women standing on the opposite side of Revan studied them. The first woman with black hair was clearly related to Revan somehow with how similar they looked and must have been the woman he was seen not too long ago with, from what the rumours said. The incredibly beautiful woman with purple hair carried herself like a Queen and was attracting a lot of male attention. He did wonder what their relationship to Revan was.

"That doesn't surprise me as he is a Quidditch fanatic," Revan said with fond exasperation.

"Who are these lovely women with you Revan?" Narcissa asked knowing the black haired woman must be a close relative or something, but she had no idea who the most beautiful woman she had ever seen was.

"This is Morgan Faye, and she is my proxy on the Wizengamot," Revan stated motioning towards Morgana and then Scathach. "And this Scathach Lethra an acquaintance of Morgan's that I'm showing around."

Lucius and Narcissa were surprised this Morgan person was Revan's proxy. Revan must trust her very much to assign her as his proxy. They did wonder how Scathach fit into all of this, but they knew they wouldn't get such answers in public.

Revan then motioned towards Lucius and Narcissa. "Morgana, Scathach. These are Lucius and Narcissa Malfoy, and they are the parents of one of my best friends."

"It's nice to meet you, Mr and Mrs Malfoy," Morgana said politely hiding her dislike of Narcissa for mothering her child when it should only be her that does so.

"Likewise," Scathach said looking at the Malfoys more intently now wondering what Revan's best friend is like.

"How did you end up becoming Revan's proxy, Miss Faye?" Lucius asked curiously.

"When Revan was deciding who to assign as his proxy he thought of me since we had known each other for a long time, and he knew I wouldn't betray his trust when acting on his behalf in the Wizengamot," Morgana said courteously.

Narcissa noticed how Morgana called Revan by his given name which meant Revan had known her for a long time and clearly trusted her. She knew how untrusting of people Revan was, and only allowed people he trusted to call him by his given name. Lucius noticed the same thing.

"Then I look forward to seeing you in the Wizengamot Miss Faye," Lucius said wondering if there was some sort of connection between her and Revan, due to her last name being so similar to Revan's and the clear family resemblance.

"What about you Miss Lethra how are you finding Britain?" Narcissa inquired.

Scathach smiled. "For my first time in Britain I'm enjoying what I've seen so far, and Revan has been a tremendous assistance in helping me acclimatise to this country."

"You're in safe hands with Revan I assure you of that," Narcissa said wondering if Revan is helping her because of how beautiful she is. Yet Revan did resist Yugao's advances, so it's very unlikely he would let his hormones rule him.

"There is no doubt about that. Though I do wonder why so many people keep staring at Revan for," Scathach said.

Narcissa was surprised she didn't know what Revan was famous for but didn't show it. "Revan is famous for killing a powerful demon several months ago for the first time in centuries, earning him the title demon slayer."

Scathach spun around to Revan with a look of shock on her face. "You never told me you killed a demon."

"I would have told you at some point," Revan said the unspoken you needed to learn other things first only picked up by Scathach and Morgana.

Narcissa raised an eyebrow at Scathach's shock. This disproved her theory of Revan helping Scathach because he found her attractive. After all what better way to impress a girl than telling them you killed a demon, and were the first person in centuries to do so.

"I'm surprised you haven't heard of Revan killing Naga. It was after all big news in the magical world," Lucius said wondering if she was an idiot or lived like a hermit closed off from the world. There wasn't a single person in the wizarding world that didn't know Revan's name for his deed of killing Naga. So it was surprising Scathach didn't, considering she had clearly spent some time with Revan.

"Scathach has been travelling for the past year, and so hasn't kept up to date with the on goings of the world," Morgana said apologetically.

"It's been delightful seeing you Lucius and Narcissa, but we must be going," Revan said deciding when they get back home he would tell Scathach about his history, so she isn't caught off guard again.

"Of course Revan and It was nice meeting you two," Lucius said dipping his head slightly as the three of them left.

"Those two women were very interesting weren't they," Narcissa commented once they were gone.

"Yes, they were," Lucius said having a feeling there's more to them than meets the eye.

Once the three of them had returned home Morgana went to her room while Scathach turned to Revan and said. "So you're famous then."

"Let's sit down, and I'll tell you my story," Revan said sitting down on the couch with Scathach joining him, and sitting very close to him. Revan then told Scathach a modified truth of the events that had happened over the past year.

"So you're a hero then," Scathach said having never expected her student to have accomplished so much at such a young age.

"In the public eyes yes," Revan confirmed making Scathach note he said in the public eyes, not that he considered himself one.

"Who would have thought a noble like you would have ever killed a demon," Scathach said giving Revan a hug as she was proud of her student's actions, even if she hadn't taught him anything yet. Revan tried pushing her away, but Scathach was using too much strength to allow that.

Before Revan could resort to stronger means Scathach ended the hug. "I'm going to create a new bodysuit for me if you want to watch," Scathach said hiding her desperation as she didn't want to be left alone.

"Sure I would love to," Revan said annoyed by the hug but interested in seeing Scathach craft something. "Before I forgot you can't mention to anyone who you really are, that I'm demigod, or that Morgana is the same one from the legends."

"I'm aware if I said such things I would be considered insane, and I have no desire to break your trust Revan," Scathach said reassuringly.

"I'm relieved to hear that," Revan said.

Scathach with Revan's help cleared out a wide space in the living room, and Scathach then created an alchemic circle on the floor.

'So Scathach uses alchemy to make her bodysuit,' Revan thought watching curiously as Scathach placed materials in the alchemic circle.

"Let's begin!" Scathach stated placing her hands on the alchemic circle and making the circle light up and once the flash of light had died down, an exact copy of the body suit she had worn in the Shadow Realm was lying in the middle of the circle.

"Impressive," Revan praised truly meaning it, as Scathach must be a high level alchemist to create something like that.

"Thank you for the compliment," Scathach said smiling glad to know her student think she's impressive. "Now time to make my spear."

The spear took longer to make as it was more advanced than a bodysuit, but when Scathach was done Revan studied the spear lying on the floor that looked exactly the same as the one upstairs. This new spear didn't radiate as much bloodlust or look as powerful of Scathach's other spear, but she had been using that spear for nearly two thousand years, and it had bathed in the blood of a lot of demons. So it was to be expected.

Unlike the other spear, this one didn't have runes carved into it, meaning he could sense the magic that was contained within the spear, and it was nothing to sneeze at. No wonder the spears were so dangerous if they already contained that much magic, and that was before Scathach channelled even more magic into it for an attack.

Scathach picked up the spear and gave it a few swings and twirls, and Revan could tell she used the spear like it was an extension of herself. She truly was a master of her weapon. Revan then watched as Scathach places runes on her body suit and spear, and he was very interested in the process. Several hours later the three of them were in the living room which had been restored discussing their plans for tomorrow.

"Are you ready for tomorrow?" Morgana asked.

"Yes everything's been packed," Revan replied holding a paintbrush and inkpot and walking over towards Scathach, who was wearing her body suit to break it in since it was brand new.

"Let me see if I got this right. You're going to paint a seal on to my gloves that will allow me to seal my spear inside of it, so I don't have to carry it around everywhere," Scathach said making sure she fully understood.

"That's right since I didn't think during our trip you want to carry around two spears all of the time," Revan said painting a seal onto both of Scathach's gloves that took several minutes as he didn't want them to break down anytime soon.. "There we go all done. Why don't you try and see if the seals are working or not."

Scathach holding both spears in her hands channelled magic into the seals, and a puff of smoke later both spears were gone. "Seals really are impressive," Scathach said looking at her hands.

"Now try unsealing them," Revan suggested.

Scathach did just that and both spears appeared in her hands before she sealed away the newer spear, and keeping her old spear out. "I'll keep my main spear unsealed as I feel more comfortable holding it then having it sealed away."

"That fine, it's your choice after all," Revan said seeing as she could as she pleased. They were her spears after all.

"I was wondering something Revan," Scathach said.

"What were you wondering?" Revan questioned.

"How did you create a portal to the Land of Shadows? Only a powerful shadow demon should be capable of doing such a thing, and yet you were able to do so even though you're not a demon," Scathach demanded as it had been on her mind for a while.

"That's a secret. Perhaps I might tell you one day but that day isn't today," Revan said seriously.

Scathach was annoyed at the lack of answer but controlled herself from doing anything reckless. "I understand I hope you trust me enough to one day to tell me the truth."

Morgana snorted in amusement but Scathach ignored her.

"We shall see," Revan said calmly. "We have to be up early in the morning so I'm heading to bed now. I hope you have a good night's rest Scathach."

Whilst watching Revan leave the room with Morgana Scathach wondered if Revan was part god, part human, and a small part demon. Since only demons can open a portal to the Land of Shadows, and being part demon could be the something extra that allowed him to regenerate a leg from their fight. That might be why Revan isn't judgmental of her for becoming a half demon because he's part demon as well.

Though she did wonder where the part demon came from as it couldn't have come from his Godly parent or Morgana, perhaps he performed a ritual like her to obtain the power of a demon. That thought surprisingly didn't bother her. In fact, it calmed her down that there was another person like her in the world. She did wonder why Revan would perform such a ritual as he didn't seem a power hungry individual, therefore he must have had a good reason for his actions.

Before heading to bed Revan entered Morgana's bedroom to talk to her privately.

"I've decided since I'll be too busy with Scathach, and I don't want her to accidentally see me with Shadowkahn as I don't know how she will react, that I'll leave you in charge of the spy network," Revan said.

"Are you sure my son?" Morgana questioned surprised.

"I am yes, that way the Shadowkahn can report any important information to you, and you can pass it on to me without Scathach being any the wiser," Revan answered.

"I understand. I take it you'll summon the Shadowkahn after this, and send them to the Elemental Nations to begin spying on the great five villages," Morgana said.

"That's right," Revan nodded.

"Then I won't keep you, and good night my son," Morgana said giving him a motherly hug.

"You as well Mother," Revan said affectionately.

The next morning the three of them were standing on the front lawn. Revan was wearing his combat outfit with a few changes. This time he had a large slash going around his waist that had a metal bar in the centre of it. Certain parts of the metal bar could be removed to reveal seals underneath, which contained everything they would need for the trip. The other change to his outfit was that he was wearing a black cloak over his combat outfit that didn't impair his fighting ability.

Scathach was wearing her black bodysuit and was holding her spear in one hand while resting it against her shoulder, and had an eager look on her face. To most individuals, the spear would look and feel normal, but when Scathach started using it bloodlust would radiate from the spear unnerving most people.

Morgana hugged Revan and asked. "Do you have the mirror I gave you?"

Revan patted his belt. "It's safely sealed away so no damage can come to it."

The mirror was a special two way mirror that allowed people to talk to each other regardless of distance. Morgana created the mirror and gave it to Revan so they could stay in contact, and for emergency purposes.

"Keep safe you hear me," Morgana demanded as this will be the first time the two have them have ever been separated from each other for longer than a day.

"I will Mother," Revan promised.

"Then I'll see you in three weeks," Morgana said giving him one more hug before approaching Scathach and losing her smile making her face perfectly blank.

Scathach wondered what Morgana could have to say to here before Morgana leant into her ear and whispered maliciously. "If anything happens to my son because of you, I will kill."

"You will try and you will fail," Scathach mocked quietly not appreciating being threatened, but knew Morgana would fulfil her promise.

Morgana's eyes glinted with cruelty and promises of unimaginable pain, and Scathach felt a shiver run down her spin from it, though she didn't show it. Scathach knew despite having caught Morgana off guard during their first fight if they ever had a rematch with the intent to kill Morgana would win. She was simply too powerful when compared to her.

Scathach didn't let this show on her face though and said loudly for Revan to hear. "Thank you for the advice, Morgana, come on Revan lets go. I can't wait to see an entirely new continent."

Revan wondered what their conversation was about as he didn't use his advanced hearing to eavesdrop on their conversation, as he respected his Mother's privacy. Knowing those two it was probably insults they had just shared with each other.

"You ready?" Revan asked Scathach when she stood in front of him making him look up slightly as she was slightly taller than him by an inch.

"I am," Scathach confirmed.

"Then let's go," Revan said placing a hand of her shoulder and teleporting the two of them to the Elemental Nations.

End Chapter

---

I hope you enjoyed Scathach's backstory as I thought it was a good twist on what I had read before. The reason Scathach's Gae Bolg doesn't have the ability to target enemies hearts was that the ability was too powerful for her. She could easily win any fight she had in the future. So the only ability she will have with Gae Bolg is throwing it to cause a large explosion, which is still a deadly ability to have.
