Hey folks! Sorry this took me sooo long to post, I had major computer
troubles and half the chapter some how got lost, I had to re-write it!
Anyhow lets see who guessed right?
What are the last two elementals?
Cirono Night: Earth and Air
Clark: Lightning and Earth
keira: Lightning and Earth
C.W.S. Matthews: Earth and Lightning
Kaethe: Earth and Thunder/Lightning
Moselle: Earth and ….
Celtic Ember: Earth and Air
Kay: Earth and Lightning
Nibowin Black: Ice and Earth
Delphine: earth and …
AND THE WINNERS ARE: (dramatic pause) Cirono Night, and Celtic Ember!
I have absolutely no idea where you all got lightning from. Remember: You shouldn't always do what the little voices in your head tell you to! Ice I can understand…a little…but lightning? Lightning and ice aren't elements. I could even understand Copper, Manganese, and Nitrogen, (elements, get it?) but lightning and ice?
Chapter 35 Blood of the Royal Aaron
The two elementals, earth and air, flew in, long wings flapping quietly. Earth was brown in color and dragon like, while air was loose with a thicker body and sharper wings, silvery in color. The sun nearly vanished and everything began to turn ruby red, the red light reflecting off the undersides of the approaching storm clouds.
Harry stomped warily, earth wasn't supposed to have wings or be able to fly…Voldemort….somehow he had changed it to give it a better chance of killing Harry.
The Aaron lifted its head and silently watched it two enemies approach, two of them. Blood dripped softly from its wounds, running down over its face from the back of its left ear. It looked hideous, like a thing from hell, a monster raised from the dead, then the head flicked the blood away and it let loose a thundering roar, the fur began to shine as it assumed its fighting stance again. He knew that not far behind the elementals came Voldemort's forces, he knew that he didn't have the strength to fight two of them, but it would sure as hell try. The dark clouds came rolling in, the sun sank lower, slowly everything turned ruby red, red light reflecting off the clouds. The elementals flew on, earth, and air. They came soaring in slowly; with a shiver of anticipation the Aaron stood and unfurled its great battered wings and took flight. Now it would have to use all the power of the both the Aaron and the wizard combined to defeat them.
The Aaron flew towards its foes, the battle song ripped forth from its throat, Harry released the powers he had purposely kept at bay for so long and they merged with his own.
In the entrance hall gathered fifty-eight Order agents, ready to fight should it be needed. Sirius walked along their lines. His brave warriors, never had they failed him yet and he had never failed them, but what could they do for the other one? The one who had given so much and gained so little? What could they do for Harry now when he needed them most?
Screaming the two elementals clashed with the Aaron, lightning flashed and thunder boomed. Fog and water and fire and lightning filled the air. One grabbed at each shoulder of the Aaron, but it kicked with its back legs at one and front legs at the other. They landed hard, the Aaron twisted away and ran around in a tight circle, jumping like a rearing horse with stiff movements of its neck and shoulders in a very odd fashion. One elemental, earth, followed him, biting at his heels; the other turned its side to him as it started to follow. Harry leaped forwards and it hit it broadside with his head, the spine on his head folded back to keep from being broken, his neck and shoulders stiff like a ram his knocked air flying into the stone encasement around the school.
"The jerking jumps stiffen thin plates of bone in his neck and shoulders to absorb the impact of a head-on ram." Miranda explained as she came down to join the rest of the Order. Sirius frowned, Miranda was their only source of knowledge on the elementals, having studied the skeleton of one briefly when she was eighteen…before the historical battle with Voldemort's asteroid that had whipped out a third of her memories.
Harry attacked the elemental still on its feet viciously, air attacked from behind as soon as it stood up again. He kicked out with all four legs, tail flashing like a whip, wings slamming about. His front claws fastened at the head of earth, his tail smacking about air's face. Abruptly he dropped and rolled away, wings spread flat to support him, he rolled back to his feet and roared. Lightning flashed down, air set up a block to divert it, Harry tilted his head back, and dropped again, breathing out a rush of fire. Earth couldn't dodge in time and screamed as it was badly burned. The Aaron twisted sideways roaring at them defiantly, air charged, the Aaron reared and the two hit, slashing at each others, air's claws sinking deeply into the base of the Aaron's throat, getting its nose and ears torn to shreds in turn. Earth hit the Aaron from the side, tumbling it, the Aaron kicked out as the elemental's momentum kept it going, sending it flying away. It was back on its feet in a second, drooling blood from a torn lip.
Harry waited; his time would come, for now he and the Aaron worked together. But once everything was just right…then these elemental's would regret that they'd ever hatched! For now he'd take whatever punishment they could throw at him and give as good as he got.
The Earth elemental roared, the ground shook and the rock casing around the castle began to crumbled a little. With a loud thud the Aaron and the elemental collided, the elemental was slammed against the rock shield, it pushed off and leaped up, dropping onto the Aaron's back, air sent a wall of air at the Aaron, which tumbled against the base of the rock. Earth folded back its wings and just about dove into the ground, air blocked the aaron from getting to it, earth was trying to dig under the rock encasement. Too bad! The rock went all the way under the castle as well…but if it should find a single weak point in the rock…The Aaron attacked furiously, earth leaped up as air nearly toppled over with the ferocity of the spiked wall of power the Aaron hurled at it. Earth and the Aaron smashed together, jaws ripping at each other's neck, air leaped into the fight, tackling the Aaron. Harry let the Aaron's fighting prowess flow into his mind, a she toppled over his neck leaned up and his tail flicked up as the elemental's jaws came down, hoping to disembowel him, air reared back screaming as its tongue, cheeks, and mouth were punctured in thousands of places by the sharp poisoned tail hairs. The Aaron flipped upright, earth screamed and a wave of soil flew up and at the Aaron, who called down lightning to help blast apart the wave, it bounced and jerked twice, the bone plates clicked into place and it jumped straight into the wave, and through it. Harry grabbed a hold on the Aaron again, if he just let it go it would attack to quickly and make a mistake, the situation had to be examined by two minds, then he'd let it go once it had the whole picture in his mind (s)
The Aaron dropped down, roaring up at the two as they closed on it, abruptly they attacked, each on one side of its neck, it rose up fighting madly, and lightning crashed down, air screamed, a glowing tail flailed madly, they separated again. Then attacked, one at each side of the Aaron, who leaped up and dragged its claws along earth's back, it needed to kill, and soon. And to kill it needed to close with its enemies, it dove and landed hard, ripping open air's side, exposing white bone. Earth growled and waves of soil came hurling up from the ground to pound at the Aaron, almost knocking it over. Air struggled free and sank on claw into the Aaron shoulder until it connected with bone. The Aaron tumbled air off its feet and went in for the throat, they thrashed madly, lightning crashed down, followed by fire from the Aaron and a huge mass of writhing power that exploded over air. The Air elemental slumped as abruptly the Aaron tore into its throat, lightning zapped into the wound, fire scorched its neck and shoulders, and the following explosion snapped its spine.
Earth leaped and drove the Aaron to it knees with its weight, the Aaron's tail lashed and scraped along the elemental's legs.
Harry screamed as teeth gouged huge gashes in his back, his control slipped, suddenly he abruptly let go and the powers he'd been reigning in flooded out.
The earth began to shake, the elemental looked up, the Aaron snapped at it and the two tumbled, claws furiously. The wind picked up, black clouds obscured everything, rain pelted down and gale force winds lashed. The dying air rose up for one last try, the Aaron took to the air, spreading its great gold, silver and black wings and leaping into the air, screaming defiantly as the other two followed. A mad aerial battle ensued, dodging and ducking about, but air was dying and it knew it. In one last desperate attempt it hurled itself at the Aaron and curled up, all four sets of claws and snapping jaws hit hard, the Aaron tumbled into earth, together the two elementals began to tear the Aaron apart. Lightning lashed down in huge bolts, the wind picked up and hail pelted at the two elementals, the air around them lost all oxygen content. However Aaron's do not need oxygen as much as other creatures, they can hold their breathe for up to a half hour. A wave of earth rose up, the Aaron roared a few short notes of battle song, the clouds were ripped open as a gigantic lightning bolt streaked downwards, fire ripped forth from the Aaron mouth, startling earth into dodging, keeping it form countering the lightning attack. With a roll of thunder that temporarily deafened the watchers the lightning hit and the ground split open, swallowing the wave of earth. Suddenly air went limp and tumbled from the sky, it head nearly torn off. The Aaron had seized its momentary confusion and deafness to twisted up from under it and slice its throat. Earth pulled away from the Aaron shortly before they both hit land again, as it twisted away it back claws raked down the Aaron and across one gleaming emerald eye.
The Aaron's tortured scream pierced the night, blood gushed form its mangled eye, it got up, roaring madly, earth charged. Lightning crashed down around them and the earth shook as the two powerful creatures charged and attacked. The two met in a clash of claws and teeth and roars of rage. The ground shuddered and rippled, lightning burned the air, now the full power of the wizard came into play, the Aaron's glow increased and it sent a huge wave of freezing air at earth, freezing the rain into small sharp daggers of ice. Earth reeled away from the wind before one of the flying ice chunks blinded it, the Aaron tossed its head, its mane turned to flames, hot acid ran from its claws deep into the ground, the soil began to melt, the Aaron lashed out, the elemental screamed as the acid bit deeply into its flesh and bone. One powerful sweep of a fiery wing sent the molten rock cascading straight onto earth who leaped and tumbled away, howling in pain. The Aaron stopped the flow of acid and snarled, it charged the elemental, roaring a battle cry. Earth slammed the Aaron aside, it ripped at earth's wings, abruptly the Aaron dropped low and snapped at a back leg, the crack of breaking bone echoed about, earth's scream of pain followed. The two clashed, even as earth's leg gave way. It's teeth fastened at the back of the Aaron's neck and trailed down its back, leaving flowing rivers of blood. The Aaron's teeth tore at the elemental's underside, slashing it apart, trying to disembowel it. They rolled and fought, suddenly they were in the air again and clashed, despite it's blood filled eyes the Aaron fought like it could see perfectly.
Harry slipped away gracefully from his attacker, twining about it at top speed like he would on a broom, drawing earth into the air then back to land again, never missing a chance to slash of whip the elemental with his tail or claws. He speeded up and rose higher, the elemental became confused, its enemy seemed to be everywhere, the Aaron slid away from earth like fog only to rip at it from a completely different angle, Harry kept up the pace despite his growing exhaustion until it had no idea where he was, then he shot in, ripping at the back of the earth elemental. It finally struggled free and kicked him rapidly in the face, gouging deeper into his wounded eye, with a roar of pain Harry abandoned that attack.
Through a haze of red, exhaustion, and overwhelming pain Harry saw his chance, and took it, knowing what the consequence would be. He flew and rolled, and twisted his neck sideways to bite. His jaws ripped open the elemental from just under its chin down to its front legs as he flew at it then dropped under it at the last second. The throat poured blood, even as he righted himself he felt the way the jaws and claws twisted at his left wing, and screamed as he felt it crack and break. Ignoring the pain he managed to land, the elemental slammed into the ground. Mortally wounded it tried to continue its attack and leaped forwards, the Aaron met it and with a skillful twist of its neck and jaws threw it onto it back and ripped open its neck even further before backing off, staggering and nearly falling as the front claws of the elemental lashed out one last time and horribly lacerated its left front leg.
The elemental slowly thrashed its life out on the ground, the rain stopped, but the black clouds remained. The Aaron turned silently, one wing hanging brokenly, one eye a mass of torn flesh and blood. Wounds covered the graceful body and blood flowed heavily from them. Its head dipped and it walked back to stand before the rock encased castle, head hanging in sorrow and pain and exhaustion. It was dead tired, and suffering from blood loss, the head swayed and eyes blinked away blood, the tail hanging lifelessly and the wings battered and drooping like the tattered ears. Then it sat and slowly tilted its great tattered muzzle upwards and let out a single long howl.
As he howled Harry felt a strange presence dip into his mind in wave of gold, the Aaron and he joined, now he was in control. A symbol began to emerge in his mind even as he sang the song of the Royal Aarons, the sad cry ripping through a throat torn by past roars and screams. As his tired eye closed and he sank sideways to the ground in utter exhaustion the symbol slowly solidified, burning white and black in the gold.
