Chapter 15
"I call this meeting of the Order to order." Booms a male voice. "We have a few issues to discuss."
"Yes. The first being the return of my…well you know… to the good." Booms another male voice.
"The second being the revealing of the final heir elemental. As you might already know 3 weeks ago the one we thought lost and dead was found though barely alive. The… well, I trust you know what it is… was used to keep said person alive. Einx (A/n: This is pronounced ayncks and all names used from now on in this segment are codenames) here performed it. Several sub-elementals have been revealed lately as well. Yarrtop has been revealed as the final one. Close friends of his have also been revealed as the sub-elementals I just talked about. Our guard must be raised though, for we have a spy passing information to Voldemort. We have narrowed it down to Vaultweas or Prankeas. The red haired turncoat we had attacked before was not the right one. Dracoweas was not the traitor. I acted to impulsively. I suppose since he was so easy to get at the way we did I had him attacked. When I realized my blunder I sent Einx to fix it. There was an attack on The Burrow 3 weeks ago and two were killed. One was left traumatized… for life probably." The first voice starts to break as he lets out a sob.
"Eroc sent me on this mission as well." Says Einx. "Either he likes my work or is just too lazy to do it himself."
At this comment there is an uproar of laughter and then a loud bang and silence.
"As I was saying the true spy must be figured out and killed." Says Eroc. "As well, the issue of the piedra culebra must be handled. There is also the issue of the Kaiso Juelos, and it must be handled."
"The red haired turncoat… I know who he is." Says Einx suddenly surprising everyone.
"How do you know?" says Eroc.
"You just told me buddy. Not directly or anything but what you said a minute ago told me who it is." Says Einx as Eroc gets a look of understanding on his face.
"Vaultweas." They say at the same time.
"Exactly. He has access to the tombs and chambers where the piedra culebra and the Kaiso Juelos were said to be." Says Einx.
"Brilliant my friend. The transfer, it appears, has not altered your thinking ability." Says Eroc. "We must eliminate Vaultweas A.S.A.P., or find and secure the piedra culebra and the Kaiso Juelos before he does. Either way it will probably come down to both in the end."
"Yes, yes. It will most likely have to be both. Eliminate Vaultweas so he can't get them to Voldemort and secure them ourselves because Voldemort will go after them anyway. I now ask that you, the 13 members of the order, rise." Says Einx as 15 chairs are heard scraping on the stone floor and the 15 rise to their feet looking up at the 2 on the platform above them.
"NOW, MEN! And women… I MUST ASK YOU IF YOU ARE WILLING TO GIVE YOUR LIFE FOR THE CAUSE! VOLDEMORT HAS RISEN AND HE WILL STOP AT NOTHING TO GAIN POWER!! IF YOU ARE WILLING TO DO ANYTHING TO STOP VOLDEMORT FROM REGAINING THE POWER HE HAD YEARS AGO REMAIN STANDING IF NOT SIT DOWN!!" yells Eroc and everyone remains standing.
"Now repeat the pledge after me." Says Einx.
"I pledge to give my life should there be cause.
I pledge my abilities to help those is need.
I pledge my loyalty to the side of good and the order.
I pledge my loyalty to the cause of the order.
I pledge my secrecy and understand I will be obliviated if I break my vow of secrecy.
In this pledge simplified I give all parts of my being to the order to be used in anyway they see fit."
With the pledge said Einx and Eroc explain their plan and where to go and that it will happen in two days.

Two Days Later"People of the order we are here in Egypt today to strike down Vaultweas and obtain the items we have spoken of." Says Eroc to the 5 members chosen to come other than him and Einx who is waiting in the tomb. "Now you all remember the plan right?"
There is a general murmur of agreeance(this might not be a word but you get the point) and Eroc continued. "You must now get in your positions Vaultweas is coming."
The group hid around the pyramid waiting and waiting until the signal (2 whistles and a tongue click) was sounded from the one who was watching. Slowly, the group came around to the entrance as Vaultweas entered the pyramid's tomb.
'On three.' Mouthed Eroc to the group. '1… 2… 3…'
At 3 they all moved into pyramid behind Vaultweas hidden in shadows or with a camouflage potion. Vaultweas took a series of tunnels and passageways before he came to the tomb of the piedra culebra. Einx was waiting for him the piedra culebra hidden.
"What?! Where did it go? My master can't gain his immortality without it. GRRR!" Vaultweas looks around trying to see if it could be anywhere else as the others come in to the tomb and get in front of the entrance sealing Vaultweas in.
The camouflage potions wear off and everyone becomes visible again. Vaultweas looks around and sees everyone. He tries to run but all exits are blocked and apparation blocks were placed on the pyramid by the other members of the order after the first few went in.
"What?!?! NO, NO, NO!!! How did you get in here?" screams Vaultweas other known as Bill Weasley.
"We're with the order. We are the best of the best how else?" says Einx stepping out holding the piedra culebra a.k.a. Jeweled Snake. "Looking for this?"
Bill dives at Einx trying to get the Jeweled Snake. Three people dive on Bill and hold him up against a wall. One of the other three pull out a vial and the other two plug his nose and hold his mouth open. Einx has the vial and drops 3 drops in Bill's mouth.
Bill stops struggling and his eyes sort of glaze over. His face gets slack and he hangs kind of limply in the three(who have been holding him against the wall)'s grasp. They let go and he drops to the floor knees up head hanging between them.
"What is your name?" says Einx as a Truth Quoting quill records his words.
"William 'Bill' Weasley." replies Bill.
"You have been accused of being a traitor a spy and attempting to help Voldemort gain immortality. How do you plead?" Says Einx the quill scratching against the parchment.
"Guilty as charged." Says Bill eyes un-glazing for a second but glazing back quickly. "I was threatened with my family's life…"
"How?" says Einx.
"When Voldemort took them 3 weeks ago he confronted me and told me to become a spy for him and help find the Jeweled Snake for his immortality. He said either I comply or they die and it would all be on my head. I didn't want to see my family dead because of me. I changed… I turned evil… I became one of them. I helped him figure out more and more information. I figured out he was still going to kill my family, but I was too far into the dark by then. I couldn't find my way back to the light." Says Bill shaking his glazed eyes watering. "I COULDN'T FIND THE LIGHT!!"
Bill's voice echoes in the tomb as his eyes roll all around in his head and he starts to convulse. The three men hold him back again.
"The light is gone… the light is gone… the light is gone…" mutters Bill until he slumps over eyes closed and limp.
The 7 members of the order float bill up and out of the pyramid and then Apparate with him to the ministry offices. They walk through the offices silence following them. They then reach their destination (Department Of Magical Law Enforcement) and walk to the Head Of Department's office.
"We have here the red haired turncoat." Says Einx setting the floating Bill down in a chair in the office and binding him with ropes. "I also have his documented Veritaserum questioning with a Truth Quote Quill."
Einx pulls out the parchment that was written on and the quill and says, "You can check them to make sure they are valid."
The Head runs a check and finds them clean. He studies what is written and looks up at Bill. He does this several times.
"Hmm. He seems to have lost his mind. You expect me to believe this?" says the Head.
"Yes sir as it is valid VERITASERUM questioning. Are you questioning my ability to create Veritaserum?" says Einx.
The Head Of Department starts to stutter out a reply but Einx cuts him off. "Well, let me remind you that I AM ONE OF THE, IF NOT THE, VERY BEST VERITASERUM BREWERS IN THE WORLD!" The Head cowers in his chair and mutters that he's sorry.
"In that case," says the Head straightening up in his seat "I feel that this man should be sent to Azkaban and tried to see if he deserves the Dementor's Kiss."
"That will not be necessary." Says Eroc. "We have seen to it that will not wake up unless administered the cure within 2 weeks of today. Einx here is the only one who can make it. We will take him with us and when the trial begins we will bring him out of it."
"Very well then." Says the Head.
"G'day." Says Einx as they turn and leave the office with Bill.
