                                    The Sins of the Fathers-Part III      

                Harry dropped his sword towards the icy ground as he fell backwards from fatigue. It seemed that drawing and using so much power from the sword has tired and weakened him. It became obvious to him at that moment why the king had been so admired by his people. He had powers that not even the greatest of wizards of Harry's time had, and yet, he was kind and gentle and cared deeply for his people. He didn't let all of his power go to his head, which was something that many people in his position would have done. He was like the Albus Dumbledore of his age.

                'So why would an entire civilization betray him?' Harry wondered, as his panting started to slow down now that his fight had ended.

                'Are you ready yet?' asked the impatient Karwyn. 'We should hurry up.'

                Harry slowly tried to get to his feet, but he was still too listless to continue on the journey at the moment. Aside form that, he was once again starting to shiver from the icy surroundings, now that the heat of the battle was over. He clutched his arms around his body in an attempt to keep himself warm, but seeing as he was completely surrounded by ice, his attempt was fruitless.

                'If you stay like that any longer, you will freeze to death,' Karwyn warned. 'You must continue and get inside another memory.'

                Harry picked up the magic sword and started using it as a crutch in order to stand properly. Using all of his remaining strength, he was able to stand on his feet, while supporting himself with the sword.

                'Can you walk?' asked Karwyn.

                Harry eyebrows slowly curved into a glare as he looked over to the remains of the guardian that he had just fought. He stared at it for a few seconds. Anger filled him he continued to look at the remains of the monster. 'You knew about this thing didn't you!'

                'Yes,' Karwyn answered slowly.

                'And yet, you didn't tell me!' Harry scolded. 'Did it slip your mind or something!'

                'No. I was afraid if I told you it would prevent you from coming here. And even if you did come I was afraid that the anxiety of knowing about it would be too much for you.'

                'So instead you send me off into a battle completely blind!' By now Harry was so angry that he had already forgotten about the fact that he tired, or that he was freezing in the middle of a humongous ice maze.

                'I prepared you for the monster by having you create that sword for yourself, didn't I?' said Karwyn, in an attempt to defend his actions. 'And I studied the king in order to help you. It was your anxiety that severed my connection with you and forced you to fight that thing by yourself. That is why I did not tell you before. I thought that when it came down to the minute, you'd be able to pull through before fear overtook you.'

                Harry's jaw fell a few inches. He couldn't believe what he was hearing. He was just forced to fight one of the most and dangerous creatures he had ever seen, and now, Karwyn was trying to make it seem like it was his fault. He was about to explode with anger. All he wanted to do at the moment was yell as loud as he could. But, with a deep breath and with a lot of will power he managed to suppress it.

                'So what was that thing anyway?' asked Harry, while trying to keep his emotions under control.

                'He is the guardian of the memories here,' Karwyn answered. 'He is a legendary creature made completely out of diamond.'

                Harry's eyes widened a bit when he heard this. 'Diamond?' he questioned. 'You mean he's not made of ice?'

                'No, he isn't. I guess considering the type of place you're in, it would be expected of you to think that.'

                'No wonder fire didn't affect him.'

                'It is a small advantage that he has.'

                Harry scratched some of the icicles out of his head as a new thought came to his mind. 'How do you know all of this?' he asked. 'It's obvious that you never came here before?'

                There was silence for a moment.

                'Well,' said Harry impatiently. 'Are you going to answer me or not!'

                'I am sorry, but I'm afraid that I can not answer that question at this time,' said Karwyn after another moment of silence.

                Harry slowly sighed and once again fell to the floor as fatigue had once again overtaken him. Now that his anger had subsided, he was once again able to feel tired and cold.

                'Are you alright?' asked Karwyn.

                'I can't continue,' said Harry. 'Using the sword really tired me out.'

                'That is expected. Only the king had enough energy to use the sword properly.'

                'How was I able to use the sword anyway?' asked Harry. 'Didn't you say that only the king could use the sword?' Right about now, Harry was so cold, that that was really the last thing on his mind. The only thought on his mind was to keep talking so he could try and forget his freezing atmosphere.

                'Yes, that is true,' Karwyn admitted. 'However, the normal rules do not apply here in Memoritia. I would think that the fact that you can create a weapon that powerful out of nothing would be a more interesting question. When you used the sword against the beast, you also used the memories of the king himself. You used his body, mind, and power. Normally the sword would not react to anyone but the king, but because you are here, you were able to put all of the king's characteristics inside yourself. You could say that you tricked the sword into thinking you were the king-that is of course, if swords could think.'

                'It kind of makes sense. Even before you helped me use the swords power, I felt like there was something helping me inside when I used it against those ice soldiers. I only held up a sword once before, but when I fought against them, I felt like I was doing this my whole life.'

                'You must have somehow received some of the king's memories before I came.'

                'Obviously not enough. Anyway, since everything is just a memory, does this mean that I won't be able to use this sword outside of this place?' asked Harry.

                'Yes. But that does not matter because you will not be able to take the sword with you. This sword is just a memory just like everything else here. And memories can not affect reality, no matter how much we want them to, if you know what I mean.'

                Harry looked down at the sword and frowned. He felt really disappointed, knowing that he had the power to defeat Voldemort, and finally bring peace back to the world, but being unable to use it, because in some sense it wasn't real.

                'Are you able to go on now?' Karwyn asked. 'If you continue to sit there on the ice it will only get worse.'

                Harry once again, using the sword as a crutch, stood to his feet.

                'Out of curiosity, could you use that healing thing to bring back my strength, like you did before?' asked Harry as he desperately tried to maintain his balance.            

                'I cannot,' Karwyn said simply.

                'How come? And what was it that you did anyway?'

                'It is another power of the Unicorn. We can heal those whom we shared our gift with.'

                'That sounds convenient. So why can't you use it now.'

                'Sometimes it is and sometimes it isn't,' Karwyn said.

                'I don't understand.' By now Harry was shivering harder than ever, and he was in no mood to put up with any riddles.

                'We can only heal a being once every twenty four hours, and the healing is only temporary, after we leave you'll have to get a permanent treatment at your school.'

                'How long is your healing going to last?'

                'It matters not. Time inside Memoritia isn't the same as time on the outside. Here a few seconds is equivalent to many hours in Memoritia. In fact, when our connection was severed, it only took me a second to reconnect with you. But as you probably already know, a long time past inside Memoritia. While my mind is connected with you, I am able to follow the time flow there. But since healing required a physical connection rather than a mental one, the time for which it will wear off is dependent on real time outside Memoritia, which could be many days inside.

                'Anyway, can you get to the portal yet?'

                'I think I have enough strength for that,' Harry nodded. 'But first I need to find my wand.' Harry straightened out and started looking around the floor.

                'Don't bother looking,' said Karwyn. 'It fell in the ravine.'

                'Okay.' Harry slowly walked over to the Ravine, knelt down-crutched by the sword-and started searching for his missing wand. It wasn't long before he saw it. It lay on top of a pile of rubble, unbroken. It seemed like it somehow fell in after the ravine was completely formed. "It probably slid in,' Harry said to himself.

                Harry stuck out his hand and started to concentrate on his magic.

                At the bottom the wand slowly started twitching.

                Harry gritted his teeth and concentrated harder. The wand slowly rose in the air and floated upwards. Halfway up the ravine the wand suddenly dropped and rolled somewhere under the rubble of ice.

                'What just happened?' asked Karwyn.

                'I couldn't handle it. My wandless magic is very limited. The most I can do is some small levitation, and even that is hard. And in this state I can't even do that.'

                'In that case use the power of the sword.'

                'What?'

                'Invoke the powers of the sword to get your wand back.'

                'I can't do that, it'll tire me out even more.'

                'A small thing like levitation will not tire you out too much. Besides if you stay here any longer, fatigue will be the least of your worries.'

                Harry sighed. Karwyn was right. By now he was so cold that he could barely feel any part of his body. His entire body was almost completely numb.

                Harry raised the sword and started concentrating on the king's memories. A second later the sword started glowing. Harry pointed the sword towards the bottom of the ravine, and almost it exploded with flying pieces of ice.

                "I overdid it," Harry mumbled to himself, as he lowered himself to the ground and covered his head to protect himself from the flying ice.

                Harry slowly uncovered his head and carefully looked around getting ready to dodge anymore flying icicles. When he saw that there weren't any, he got back up to his feet and started scanning the floor for his wand. Surprisingly enough his wand was right under him, lying next to his beat up glasses. He picked up both, and after fixing his glasses with his wand, turned his attention to the portal to the next memory.

                'Alright,' he though to himself. 'This is it. Now I'm finally going to find out what happened to King Helios.'

                Using the sword as a crutch Harry slowly stumbled over to the awaiting portal, took a deep breath, and stepped in.

                Immediately the cold feeling around him disappeared as his surroundings began dissipating. Soon Harry felt the ground beneath him disappear. It felt like he was floating in thin air. Darkness surrounded him. He gulped and got ready for what was coming next.

                "Now, I'll learn what truly happened to the king."

                Slowly the darkness began to lighten, and reveal familiar scenery to Harry. Clouds formed in a light blue sky, as Harry realized exactly where he was.

                "This is where the last memory left off," he observed.

                "It's been a while," a voice from Harry's upper right said. Harry looked up and saw King Helios hovering next a light skinned person, with short dark hair and a blue suit.

                "You shouldn't have come here Theolis," said Helios, with what sounded like regret in his voice. "I had hoped that you and I would avoid a fight."

                The man whom Helios spoke with, just hovered in the air silently.

                Harry looked over at king Helios. His face looked like it was filled with sorrow, anguish, and hurt. It was obvious that he did not want to fight with this man. He opened his mouth and once again he started speaking that strange language. "Kodolona itsa mora, ni ye jo-"

                "SHUT UP!" Theolis yelled. "Don't you ever use that language with me again! That language is only to be used between people that are close to each other! And you are nothing to me now!"

                Helios didn't say anything. He just continued to hover in the air silently.

                'What did he say?' Karwyn asked Harry, snapping him out of his thoughts.

                Harry shook his head for a second, trying to regain his position. 'I don't know. Something about always having an understanding or something, he never finished.

                'Speaking of which, do you have any idea why I can understand that language?'

                'It might have something to do with Memoritia. I still do not know all the secrets of this place, maybe since you are so close to the memories of the king, that you were able to pick up on the language.'

                'Then what-'

                'I do not know why I can't understand it,' Karwyn interrupted, sensing what Harry's next question was going to be. 'Maybe to understand something as complex as a new language you have to be insi-'

                'Quiet!' Harry interrupted. 'They're starting to talk again, and I want to hear this.'

                "Theolis," said Helios. "I do not know why you decided to start this war, but I do not wish to hurt you. Just leave now."

                "And what if I choose to stay and fight?" snarled Theolis.        

                "Then I will have no choice but to kill you," said Helios.

                "That's fine with me. It is the natural order of life. Yesterday's friends become tomorrow's foes; self-interest always takes precedence over the common good; betrayal is a virtue known to all, and eventually self-interest will awaken this sleeping virtue and transform friends into foes. So it always was and so it always will be. That is the reality. Reality that always was, and reality that always will be. If you try to go against reality, then reality will crush you; reality will step over you; and reality will continue to exist as if you were never there."

                Helios frowned. "That is a very nice pun," he spat. "But what exactly are you trying to get at."

                "I went against reality, hoping to bring about a new reality, until reality showed me that it is impossible. Reality has no forgiveness for those who stand against it. It showed me no mercy."

                "What are you talking about? You're the one who betrayed me!"

                Theolis threw him a glare as he gritted he teeth. "How dare you say such a thing!"

                "I'm saying it because-"

                "Enough talk!" growled Theolis, drawing his sword, and pointing it at Helios. "It's time to fight!"

                "You know that I am more powerful than you are, why are you even bothering to try and fight me," said Helios.

                "You're such a snob Helios!" Theolis snarled as he got ready to charge Helios. "Why must you always look down on people!"

                Theolis flew directly at Helios, his sword drawn ready to strike. He swung it in a diagonal overhead slash, only to be blocked by Helios' sword. For a minute the two were in a power struggle, each trying to overcome the other with physical strength. Since Theolis had the attack advantage, he was able to overcome Helios, and sent him flying backward. Theolis concentrated for a second and sent a beam of green light towards Helios. "Chew on this!" he yelled.

                Helios caught himself in the air, swung at the green light, and magically split it in half. "I'm not hungry," he responded.  He charged towards Theolis getting ready to slash.

                Theolis got in stance ready to block and counter. Helios headed for him, as he raised his sword, and then suddenly he disappeared. Theolis swung his head back and forth trying to find the place where Helios disappeared to, but before he could locate him he felt a hard blow to the back of his head which sent him flying downward. He looked up and saw that it was Helios' foot that was responsible for the hit. And now Helios was charging his sword getting ready to attack.

                Helios swung his sword in the shape of a star, which was enveloped by a magic circle, and shot directly at Theolis.

                Harry's jaw dropped when he saw this. "That beam is ten times bigger than the one I used against Gemini!" he gasped.

                The beam caught Theolis and completely covered him, blocking him out completely.

                Helios lowered his sword and sighed. "Forgive me my friend," he said.

                "I think me forgiving you is the least of your worries!" a voice snarled.

                At the same time both Harry and Helios looked towards the source of the voice, which came form inside the beam. They waited for the magical blast to subside, and both gasped when they saw Theolis hovering there completely unscathed.

                "Impossible!" gasped Helios.           

                "And yet true," Theolis gloated. "You and the rest of the Earth were so complacent with the protection that your sword gives that you ignored everything else. You ignored our technological advancements, you underestimated us."

                "No, we never did," Helios said in a low voice. "We just never expected you to betray us like you did."

                "US! Betray you!" Theolis spat. "You're the ones that betrayed us!"

                Helios charged his sword and sent a barrage of green beams of light directly at Theolis.

                Theolis just stood his ground, not moving an inch. "You never learn, do you Helios," he said.

                The beams all connected with Theolis causing a bright explosion around him.

                Harry covered his eyes trying to avoid the glare.

                When the light faded, once again both Helios and Harry were surprised to see that Theolis was hovering there completely unscathed.

                "Don't you understand yet," said Theolis. "I came prepared for you already." He pulled his left sleeve up and revealed to Helios what looked to Harry like an ordinary watch. "This is the latest battle technology."

                Helios looked at it for a second. "It looks like an ordinary watch to me?" he said. 

                "A simpleton like you would think that," Theolis barked. "But in reality this is the greatest military invention to date. It can be used as a communicator, it creates an antigravity field allowing me to fly without wasting my own magical energy, and-my favorite part-it is able to create a special absolute barrier, which is capable of absorbing all forms of magical energy, and convert that energy to its power cells, which can last many days thanks to your recharge."

                Helios stayed silent.

                "And to show you my gratitude, I think I'll let you have this barrier." Theolis pushed a button on his device and immediately a surge of light appeared around Helios.

                Helios swung his head back and forth. "What is this?" he gasped.

                The light quickly disappeared.

                "What just happened?" asked Helios.

                "I just gave you the absolute barrier. Go ahead, try and use some magic against me!" Theolis urged.

                "I had enough of your games Theolis!" Helios growled. He got his sword ready and charged at Theolis. He swung an overhead slash, which Theolis easily blocked. Helios followed through by spinning, and getting ready to slash him from his right side. Theolis descended and dodged the attack. Helios immediately went for an overhead slash again. Theolis blocked it, but this time Helios was ready with a kick in the face, which sent Theolis flying backward.

                "IT'S OVER!" Helios growled as he charged his sword and swung it in Theolis' direction, letting out a huge wave of fire.

                "What?" Helios gasped. "Nothing happened?"

                Theolis chuckled a bit as he regained his position in the air. "It's called an absolute barrier for a reason. It absorbs all magical energy, including the ones that you give off. So you see even your magic is useless now."

                Helios glared. "Maybe, but so is yours!"

                "True, but I won't need magic to beat you since I have technology on my side." Theolis reached into his breast pocket and pulled out what looked like a handgun.

                "Is that a blaster?" asked Helios.     

                "No," Theolis replied simply. "I'm afraid that the barrier absorbs blaster energy as well. This is an old fashion handgun. If you don't know what those are-"

                "I know exactly what a handgun is. A primitive weapon from over 2000 years ago. It carries around eight to ten bullets. If that's your secret weapon against me, then you should just quit now!"

                "Actually I was just about to explain that this is an upgraded handgun. Instead of using gunpowder, we used Crystalison."

                "The fuel that we use for our space shuttles?"

                "Exactly. And because it's so powerful, we were able to miniaturize the bullets to a half a millimeter in diameter. That way it could hold hundreds of bullets in one gun instead of just a few, and they do over ten times as much damage as well."

                "You fool!" Helios growled. "Even in such small amount crystalison is still very dangerous. I know that because we packed our jet boards with a few grams of crystalison, and look what happened."

                "If I used your primitive metal then my handgun would probably explode. However, I'm using a new experimental metal called Litanium, a metal that can only be refined in zero gravity. It's at least one thousand times stronger than any metal that you have."

                Helios growled.   

                "Instead of hiding behind your sword, you should've advanced your own technology. But considering what you're in the middle of building, our new metal is nothing more than plastic!"

                Helios' eyes widened. "What I'm building?"

                Theolis quickly pointed the gun at Helios and started shooting at him.

Helios quickly reacted by doing an aerial back-flip and avoided all the bullets.

                Theolis charged at him, sword in his right hand and gun in his left, ready to strike with either. He swung his sword at Helios and was immediately blocked, and got involved in a one sided power struggle-in Helios' favor, being that he only used one hand to hold his sword and Helios used two. Before Helios was about to knock him away, Theolis pointed his gun at Helios' head and pulled the trigger.

                Helios was ready for his fire and started descending as soon as he saw the gun move. He easily dodged the bullet and continued descending as Theolis switched his position and started shooting downward. Helios looked up after descending a few thousand meters, and saw that Theolis was charging his sword. "Why would he do that?" Helios said to himself.

                Theolis shot a huge beam of green light directly at Helios.

                Helios gasped as he realized that the barrier around him had disappeared. He quickly pulled his sword in front of him and created a barrier to block the beam coming at him. The beam connected with the barrier and created a glare of bright light. Helios placed his arm in front of is face shielding his eyes from the bright light.         

                Suddenly Helios was forced to scream out in pain as he felt something drive through his chest. A second later he felt the same feeling in his left leg and stomach. He fell from the sky almost unconscious. It took all the energy he had left, but he was able to keep himself aloft somewhere in the middle of the clouds.

                Harry glided down towards him. As soon as he was near him he saw that Helios was in horrible shape. There was blood coming out of the front and back of his chest, stomach, and left leg. Breathing seemed to be a chore for him, and he was coughing up blood. 'Karwyn, what just happened?' asked Harry.

                'Theolis removed the barrier from Helios and shot him with a large amount of magic, forcing the king to block. Then when he was distracted by the bright glare of light, Theolis once again placed the barrier on him to remove his shield and fired his gun.'

                'He doesn't look good,' Harry observed.

                'It looks like one of his lungs was punctured. Although those bullets were small they were very powerful. They were able to puncture right through his body. And he can't even use a temporary healing spell, because if he does the absolute barrier will just absorb the magical energy he gives off."

                Helios and Harry both turned their attention upwards as they heard gunshots coming from the sky.

                "Looks like he doesn't give up," Harry said to himself.

                Helios dived lower and deeper into the clouds in order to hide himself better. "He had both magic and technology on his side," the king thought out loud. "He seems all but invincible. However, he forgot about one thing." Helios gathered all of his remaining energy and ascended out of the clouds and towards where Theolis was.

                Theolis noticed Helios come out of the clouds and immediately started shooting at him.

                Helios converted almost all his remaining energy to his speed and ascended higher to dodge the bullets.

                Theolis continued shooting at Helios, while Helios once again started charging his sword. "What is he doing?" Theolis thought out loud. "He knows that magic is useless? Did he find a way to dissipate my barrier?"

                Helios' sword started glowing bright red as he began to dive directly at Theolis. Theolis shot off a few bullets which Helios dodged by zigzagging downwards. Theolis got in stance ready for anything that Helios was going to throw at him.

                As soon as he was close enough, Helios swung his sword into a horizontal cross slash. Theolis immediately tried to block it with his own sword, but the charged up sword of Helios was so powerful by then that it was able to slice Theolis' sword in half, and threw Theolis back a bit. Helios spun and followed up his attack with a powerful hook kick towards Theolis' left hand and knocked the gun right out of it, and sent Theolis flying back even more. Helios spun one more time and brought his sword-still charged up-into an overhead slash getting ready to slice Theolis on half vertically. Luckily Theolis was fast enough to reach into his pocket, grab his second Litanium made gun and block Helios' attack with it. Although, the attack was blocked there was so much power behind it that it sent Theolis flying downwards.  

                Theolis regained himself and pointed his gun to where Helios was supposed to be, only he was not there anymore. Theolis started looking around while his reached into his jacket with left hand and pulled out another gun. He started swinging his guns back and forth, getting ready to fire at the first thing he saw or heard. Rage overtook him as his eyebrows curved into a glare and his teeth were clenched together. He was sweating and panting, and even had a small amount of blood dripping from his mouth. "It's no use hiding Helios!" he shouted. "Wherever you are, I'll find you!"

                "You are a fool Theolis!" Helios' voice said from behind Theolis.

                Theolis immediately turned around and started shooting. He stopped after ten shots when he realized that no one was there.

                "Your gloating was always your weakness," Helios' voice said from above Theolis.

                Theolis looked up and saw that no one was there.

                "You basically told me how your absolute barrier works," Helios voice came from the right. After this every single word Helios said started coming from every angle around Theolis. "It absorbs all magical energy given off, but doesn't affect stored magical energy. Furthermore, you explained how litanium was an experimental metal, so I assumed that it wasn't able to convey magical energy. And since you were able to use magic through the sword I assumed that it wasn't made of litanium, but of Tri Crystalic radial Alloy, the strongest metal that can convey magic. Therefore I was able to easily shatter it and get the upper hand."

                A small smile curved around Theolis' lips. "You have a problem about bragging as well. Even a five year old knows that invisibility is inner magic!" He curled himself up into a ball, and then immediately stretched out emitting a flare of light from his entire body.

                The light was so bright that Harry was forced to grunt and cover his eyes.

                Theolis immediately heard a grunt from his upper right. He aimed both his guns up at the source of the grunt and began firing.

                Immediately Helios appeared out of nowhere clutching his right shoulder.

                "And now to relieve you of that trinket!" Theolis aimed at Helios' right hand and pulled the trigger.

                Helios yelled out in pain and dropped the sword.         

                Theolis shot Helios again, and again, until he finally went automatic, and shot him at least twenty times. He then flew up near Helios, swung his right arm, caught Helios in a head lock and start diving towards Spiral Tower. As soon as he was near he swung Helios directly at the tower.

                Using all the power he had left, Helios stopped himself right in front of the tower.

                Before he could do anything, Theolis stomped on his chest and smashed his body against the tower. Theolis pointed his guns at Helios' face, each gun aimed at one of his eyes. "Long live the king!" he growled. He immediately started shooting as fast as he could. Helios yelled out in pain as his face start bursting out blood that covered Theolis hands completely. This didn't stop Theolis from continuing to shoot of course. He shot Helios at least another twenty times before he stopped and looked directly at what was left of Helios' face. "I did it!" he gasped in surprise. "I actually did! I beat him!"

                "No way," Harry said to himself, as he stared in disbelief.

                Before Theolis could celebrate any further, Helios' entire body transformed into a black puff of smoke and he disappeared. "A shadow?" Theolis thought out loud.

                Before he could do or think anything else, he felt his right hand being kicked hard. The kick was so hard that it knocked the gun out of his hand and sent it flying downwards. Theolis turned to his right and saw Helios raising his sword and panting.

                Helios swung downwards and sliced off a part of Theolis' left arm, sending it falling downward along with the gun and the special wristwatch.

                Theolis tried to scream out in pain, but was immediately stopped when Helios spun around and ground his foot in Theolis' throat, slamming him against the tower. Helios pressed his foot down harder on Theolis' neck, choking him.

                Helios remained in that position for a second until he saw that the absolute barrier disappeared. He swung his sword over his head and immediately and circle of white light appeared around him, healing his three bullet wounds.

                Helios removed his foot and grabbed Theolis by the shirt with his left hand.

                "How?" Theolis managed to choke out.

                "That wasn't a shadow," Helios said simply. "Your anger allowed me to attack you mentally. Everything you just saw now was an illusion, including my blood." Immediately the blood that covered Theolis disappeared. 

                "He's really powerful," Harry observed.

                "It's over," said Helios.

                "Not quite," grunted Theolis.

                Helios lowered his eyes on Theolis. "What do you mean?"

                "I was only supposed to distract you, while my army took out yours."

                "What?" gasped Helios.

                "Up until now, we were only using our old, out-of-date weapons. We took Spiral Tower to lure out your entire army. With the combined effort of our mages, our litanium alloy made weapons, and those little watches that you love so much, we were easily able to defeat your army. I got the message of their surrender about ten minutes ago."

                Helios took a deep breath trying to take in everything he just heard.

                "Now you have no choice but to accept our terms of surrender, otherwise we start attacking your civilians."

                Helios glared at him.

                "And don't even think of trying to pull a hero act and stopping the army by yourself. Like I said before, our weapons are made of litanium alloy, and we have plenty more absolute barriers just waiting for you."

                Helios gritted his teeth. By now he was doing everything he could to keep himself in restraint.

                "I can't believe this guy!" Harry cried. "Attacking civilians!"

                "If you wanted to avoid a direct attack on your cities," Theolis continued. "Meet me on the top of the Celestial Towers in Topaz city. You will take me the Council of Earth where all the council members will grant us our independence."

                Theolis looked down at Helios' left hand. "By the way," he said. "You can let go of me now."

                Helios reluctantly released Theolis, and hovered away from him.

                "Well, I'd love to stay here and continue to talk to you Helios," said Theolis. "But I have to get my arm treated before I lose too much blood. I suggest you have that lung looked at. I seriously doubt even your magic can repair vital organs." With that he descended downwards and was lost in the clouds.

                Helios just continued to hover in the same spot for a minute, before he flew away.

                Harry sighed as he watched the king fly away. "Poor Helios." He took out the sword of Helios and looked at it. "I guess there's more to war than fighting."

                The scenery around Harry started becoming fuzzy.

                "It's transforming."

                Soon the blue skies disappeared and were replaced by metal walls, giant columns, and computer-like hardware. Lights were blinking from everywhere, and there were computing sounds surrounding the room. Harry looked around the room obviously impressed by their technology.

                "It's amazing what can happen when wizards and muggles combine their talents," he said to himself.

                He immediately turned when he heard a sound come from behind him. The sound ended up being the footsteps of Helios and Theolis as they walked side by side towards where Harry was standing. Harry was about to move out of the way, when he noticed that it was a thin metal ledge he was standing on. He turned back to them. "No wait," he said while shaking his hands towards them.

                They continued to walk like they didn't even notice him, until they just walked through him.

                "It's only a memory," Harry told himself. He looked around the place one more time. "But it seems so real." He turned and started running after the two.

                "Remember," Theolis said to Helios. "If my army doesn't get a message from me within the next hour they will initiate the attack, so don't try anything funny."

                Helios nodded.

                They continued to walk a bit further, until they came upon two extremely large doors. "This is the place," said Helios. "OPEN!" He shouted towards the door.

                A small panel on the door rose, and a robotic voice started coming from it. "Voice response recognition accepted," the voice said. "Retinal scan required." Helios bent down and placed his face near the panel. It blinked red. "Retinal scan accepted." The two doors started opening to reveal a large, dimly lit room with a panel full of twenty four people. They were all wearing hooded cloaks, and they kept their hoods up so it was impossible to see their faces.

                "Greetings council members!" said Helios, as he and Theolis started walking towards them.

                Theolis leaned in and whispered in Helios' ear. "Why did you have to go through all those procedures if the members are already in here?" he asked.  

                "Protection." Helios said simply.

                "Why? Didn't you tell them we were coming?"

                "No, I didn't have enough time."

                The two walked up to the podium in front of the panel and stood in front of all the council members.

                "I have some news," said Helios.

                "We already know," one of the members said.

                "You have failed us Helios!" another one snarled.

                "We were unprepared for their assault," said Helios, trying to defend himself.

                "We believe that you are no longer able to lead the people of this planet," said the first one.

                Helios nodded. "If the council wishes it, then I will step down from my position. However, first I-"

                "You don't understand us Helios," Another council member interrupted. "This is not a proposal, this is a coup de'ta !"

                Helios' eyes widened a bit. "What do you mean?" he asked.

                One of the Council members removed her hood to reveal a blond woman around the age of twenty. "For the past 1000 years foolish words such as equality and tolerance have reigned over this planet. You as well as those who reigned before you preached these things to us and forced us to believe in them."

                Helios frowned. He obviously didn't like where this conversation was going.

                The woman stood up and glared at Helios. "For over 1000 years we have been forced to lower ourselves to the same level as those vermin!" she growled. "At birth it was decided that we were the superior ones. We received the power to rule over all. Yet all this time we were forced to suppress our powers and live like the commoners instead of like the true superior beings that we are. It is natural selection Helios. All life forms exist for only one purpose; to give birth to, and to sustain a newly evolved superior being. That is how it was, and that is how it always will be! You and your ancestors foolishly tried to break this great cycle. You thought that you could disrupt the course of nature. And for a time it seemed like you were succeeding. However, it all ends now! It is time for nature to once again take over!"

                "I fail to understand what you're trying to get at," Helios gritted through his teeth.

                "It is time for the mages to take their rightful place as rulers of the muggles!"

                "HOW DARE YOU USE THAT WORD!!" Helios burst out. "That word is a symbol of hatred between the mages and non-mages! It was illegalized over a thousand years ago!" he growled.

                "One of the problems that we will fix, when we take over the earth and the space cities!" the female council member snarled. "As the new head of the council, I will make sure that that will happen!"

                Helios started reaching for his sword. "If you think that I'm must going to stand around and watch you turn the non-mages into second-class citizens-"

                "Actually," said another member of the council, as he stood up and removed his hood revealing a dark haired man. "Second-class citizens is a bit high for the muggles! We were thinking slaves to be a more appropriate term!"

                "I shall never allow that!" growled Helios. "I swear that I shall fight you to my very last breath to prevent that from happening!"

                "That's fine," said the head of the council. "But if you do, you will die!"

                "The army is loyal to me," said Helios. "They will not go along with your twisted ideals!"

                "Who needs them," scoffed the head of the council. "While you were off fighting that foolish war, we have been breeding our own army. By now we have over two million powerful soldiers, ready and able to fight. Do you actually believe that your weakened army will stand a chance?

                "And don't think that we didn't come prepared for you, Helios!"

                "What?" gasped Helios.

                "Have you ever heard of the legend of the Holy one and the dark one?"

                "The battle that took place hundreds of millions of years ago?"

                The head nodded.               

                "Of course."

                "Well, it turns out that it wasn't a legend after all. Two yeas ago, we discovered ruins that contain the DNA of the dark one, and for the past two years, w have been studying the dark one. Now we have enough knowledge to bring him back to life!"

                Helios eyes widened with fear. "No!" he gasped. "You can't! You don't know what you're doing!"

                "Save you breath!" Theolis said for the first time since they entered the room. "Look at them." He pointed towards the council members. "Don't you notice anything weird?"

                Helios narrowed his eyes and looked at them carefully. "They don't give off any shadows.  They're holograms."

                "Did you think we were dumb enough to reveal our plans to you in person!" snarled the head of the council.

                "But you did make one fatal mistake!" gloated Theolis. He pulled up the sleeve of his left arm, revealing his special watch. "While you were babbling all this time, this little device was tracking your signal. At first I thought that your army was being bred here, but now I see I was wrong! But no matter, because now I know your exact location, and the location of the army!"

                Helios turned to him. His face had a shocked expression on it. "You knew about this?"

                "It was the reason why we attacked you," said Theolis. "Of course, we thought that you were in on it as well Helios, considering that you were head of the council." He turned to Helios. "Let me guess, you also didn't know about all those depositions that we sent the council requesting independence either?"

                Helios shook his head.

                "I expected as much," Theolis shrugged. "You must be embarrassed. A king not knowing what's going on in his kingdom!"

                Helios lowered his head.

                "But it doesn't matter now! Because now that we know who the real criminals are, we can join forces against them!"

                Helios smiled and nodded.

                "I'm afraid it's too late!" snarled the head of the council. "We have almost finished all the procedures to reawaken the dark one. In a few hours, we will have the most powerful weapon ever! Not even you two will stand a chance against him! Farewell!" Immediately all of the holograms disappeared.

                "Wait!" cried Helios. "You can't reawaken that thing! You won't be able to control it!"

                "Save your breath Helios. They will not change their mind. Bigotry and hatred have taken over them. Our only hope is if we can stop them before they are able to awaken the dark one!"

                "I think it's time you told me everything you know Theolis," said Helios. "About the depositions, the army, and why you started the war."

                "Okay," Theolis nodded. "I'll tell you on the way to the ships."

                With that they both took off and ran out the door.

                "I so confused," said Harry, as he started shaking his head in frustration. "What does any of this have to do with me and Voldemort?"

                The scenery around Harry started disappearing and once against a large ice filled room filled the scene. Harry once again started shivering from the cold. 'Karwyn,' said Harry. 'If this is their world, then they never made it did they?'

                'It doesn't seem so.'

                'You know the more I look at it, the more their culture seems like a more advanced version of ours. Are you sure that these are the people from our past?'

                'That's what I heard,' Karwyn answered nervously.

                'From who?' asked Harry.

                'That is not important,' Karwyn said quickly. 'Let us continue to the next memory. Maybe we'll find out what happened.'

                Harry stood in spot for a second. 'Do you know what this has to do with me and my world?' he asked.

                'Memoritia will only lead you to memories that are important for our future. Somehow, this knowledge will affect this planets future. Now let's go.'

                Harry nodded, and without a second thought he headed down a maze of steps towards the next memory.

a/n- Obviously this chapter was supposed to be a lot longer, but once again I decided to split it into many chapters.
