Lumorem Heré IV: The Wand Shop, Part II
^…^ indicates phoenixtongue

"About nine hundred years ago, my great-great-great-grandfather had four people come into his shop. They told him to keep it until their Heir came to get his wand. They placed that lock on there, and told him that it would only come off in the presence of the Heir. So he put it, I am assuming, somewhere in the wall."
"Those four people were Godric Gryffindor, Salazar Slytherin, Helga Hufflepuff, and Rowena Aloc y Hain, better known as Ravenclaw."

They gaped at him.
"They said that they had combined all of their wands into one single Source of Power," lectured Ollivander, "and that it would be in the first space in the box, disguised as whatever we use today to direct our magic. In this time, it would be a wand."
The group nodded.
"There's more. The second Source in the box was the one that Merlin himself used in his twenty-thousand year lifespan."
"So you are telling me," interrupted Severus, "that Morning now holds the Sources of Power used by five of the greatest elf-wizards of all time?"
"Exactly. In addition to that, his soulmate is the Heir of Merlin"
He looked as though he might faint. "Go on, Morning," urged Draco, "open the box!"
Suspense threatening to kill him, Morning did as he was asked. Inside the green velvet-lined box were two slots. The first one held a branch of what looked like fire holly. This was exactly like normal holly except that it had flickering veins of red and orange running through it. The second slot was empty.
"Well, what are you waiting for? Pick it up!"
As Morning wrapped his hand around the slight indented part of the bough, it started glowing. It soon got so bright he had to look away. He suddenly had a vision of three men and two women smiling warmly at him.
When the light cleared, he saw that he was holding a staff. However, it was nothing like he had seen before. He noted that it was made of fire holly. At the bottom, a portion of the wood was hollowed out, and inside was carved a badger. The grip was made by a winding snake, which had glittering emeralds for eyes. The next part was a slightly rounded flat circle. Four phoenixes perched on top of it, heads facing outward, wings up, beaks open, and tails falling gracefully to form the staff base. Resting on the tips of the wings was a sphere, currently collecting all of the light within itself. On top of the sphere was a royal eagle, poised to take flight, beak open in a hunting cry.
"Wow." breathed Draco and Severus. Morning, Lucius, and even Ollivander were totally speechless. Morning could feel something tugging at him, and, figuring it was the staff, gave it some of his magic. Gold beams of light shot out of the phoenixes open mouths into the sphere, turning the light within gold. The eagle started to glow, and a gold beam of light shot out of its open mouth. This formed into another beam of light, forming into another phoenix, this one silver with gold stripes. It joined Draco's silver one. The edges of the two blurred. They combined with a brilliant flash of white light, then separated. But Draco's was now golden with silver, white, and purple stripes, and Morning's was silver with white, gold and purple stripes. Draco's phoenix flew into Morning's chest and disappeared. He glowed white for a second and then stopped. Morning's phoenix flew into Draco's chest with the same result. Revolving in the air was an egg.
'Wow' thought Morning.
"Yeah, I know" said Draco. Then, "Hey! I can hear you in my head!"
The egg cracked, and two larger than normal phoenixes glided out. The silver one landed on Draco's shoulder. There was a flash of light. The gold one landed on Morning's shoulder with the same reaction.
^Hello, ^ the one on Morning's shoulder trilled. ^My name is Acaidien, Cai for short. What's yours? ^
^Morning. ^
^Hello, Morning! That flash of light you saw was me binding to your life-force and further connecting you to the Ice Dragon over there. Basically, I am an extension of both him and you.^
^What?!?!? Does this mean that me and him are-^
Draco was having much the same reaction, except that his had called Morning the 'Calenéun', and its name was Alecédeos, Alec for short.
After recovering himself, Ollivander said, "Well, Draco, it looks like you found your soulmate."

Pronunciations are:
Acaidien- uh-SAY-di-en
Calenéun- calla-NAY-un
Alecédeos- a-leck-ay-DAY-os
Review please! By the way, the title means 'Heir of Light', approximately, in Latin. Calenéun means 'Elven Lord' in the phoenix language I made up.
And remember, REVIEW!
