Dumbledore sat down in his chair and opened the large tome. It was thousands and thousands of pages long. He flipped through the pages for several moments. Eventually, he seemed to find what he was looking for. He pointed his wand at the book and stated a translation spell for conversion from Gaelic to Modern English. Once the text had changed, he cleared his throat and began reading from the pages in front of him.
"Today, I find my self seeing visions from Merlin's ideals. Merlin was destroyed a few weeks back; I cannot in good faith call it his death. No mind, I must continue with the contents of Merlin's works. For future reference, I am writing my thoughts in verse form. However, I am also keeping notes in another tome. This should help make all the following verses very clear… I will be hiding this tome to keep me and the other apprentices safe from the local authorities. If you are looking for the true meaning of this verse, you will need both tomes. Here is the verse…
The man from Myriddin began the saga. When he was born at the hands of the worst kind of violence, he overcame. He overcame his negative nature at the hands of those that serve the Leader of good.
For his job, he stood by the side of the people's answer to good and offered his guidance. One night, he was accosted by a member of his father's family who informed him of his past and future. He tried to fight it, but was denied. Eventually, he would have to fulfill his destiny.
One day, he was visited by a foreign entity that took him away on a long, long trip. As he did, he left a message for one of his followers in a common cup.
The message was explicitly for a great Prince of Dragons and a Woman of Many Secrets.
The Prince of Dragons is an equal mix of good and evil…a balance of great parenting.
His mother is the result of a race of spiritual beauties with the ability of the melodious voices.
The mother of the mother mated with a man of the sea to complete the voice of the angels. The voice of angels is a gift from the Leader of the good. It was created to save.
His father was born of the Takers of the Night. They come to one's dreams and make them real. He was born to pilfer that which was not his.
His father of the father mated with the Queen of the Ring. She lures them into the ring, flutters her wings and drives them mad. She failed but once and created His father. Evil begets Evil.
The Prince of Dragons, with this parentage, is the result of equivalent evil and good. While growing, he will present one face; but will be on the side of the unknown face.
The Woman of Secrets is the Union of Flames. Her mother is the Teller of the Souls. She can see the light from the dark with colors of the rainbow.
The mother mated with the Keeper of the Souls to complete the cycle. The Keeper of the Souls guards the light with their undying interest in all. When these two mate, they create the Predictor. The Predictor arrives once every millennium to search, reveal and defeat. If the Predictor fails, the dark will rise and shade the world in grief. If the dark rises, the powerful couple will fail and release the evil of the Dragon.
The Evil will make his mark through time, lying in wait. Once the Man from Myriddin has presented himself, it will begin. First, there will be the union of the Dragon and the Secret. Together, they will find themselves.
After the union, those that were deemed the saviors will become pawns. Their strategy will fail and one will cease.
The one that ceases will become the moon and the tides will change. Conflict and war always have two sides, yet it is not black and white. Grey will reign supreme for a time.
The one of Grey will have to choose. His choice is his and his alone. The one of Grey will be known and is known, just not realized. Once the realization comes to pass, the conflict will surmount to levels never seen before.
The Ones will work together with the Order Leader to stop the Evil. However, a worse road could not be taken. However, a bad road does not mean disaster; a good road does not mean safe travel. It simply means a smooth ride.
The wills of the Ones will be substantial. Their belief in one another will be solid, but even a solid can be severed. So, too can the Ones be separated and turned against one another. As long as Love remains, the sun will rise. However, the sun may not rise because of storms. These storms with be full of lightening and fire. They will reign down on the earth and scorch it. Only the Prince of Dragons will be able to cultivate the land and stop the storms. The storms will split and become red and black again.
Once all the colors are revealed, the covenant of the Leader will once again become apparent and the moon will show its dark side. Thus, the dark becomes light and the light dark. The tides will change again. The Prince of Dragons and the Secret Keeper will reunite and all will reveal. Only they can survive the Man of Myriddin and only together can the Man of Myriddin survive in his christened form. If this comes to pass, all will be at ease and the Man of Myriddin will become spirit bound to the Order Leader. Peace will reign for as long as hope remains, but man is fickle. All is nothing and nothing is all. Time will tell.
That is the story that I need to share. Once the time comes, all will play their part and one side will win. Of course, it cannot be forever as nothing is forever. However, it will be long enough to impress hope throughout the vales again."
Dumbledore looked up from the flaxen paper he had been reading and looked at Draco and Ginny. "You are chosen, by Reilly, to decipher this tome. First, you must find the code breaker. The Knights of the Round Table were guardian to this. Begin there.
I will begin by contacting Madame Pince and letting her know that you are to have unlimited access to the restricted section of the library. After this, I will contact the Headmasters' of the other schools throughout the world. I will then allow you to floo to them with a specialized cobalt blue floo powder. You need to get to work on this immediately. You have ten days until school commences for the start of the second term. If luck is on our side, we will have this under control very shortly. I have already contacted the Ministry of Magic and they are sending two aurors to protect you while visiting the other libraries. Let me know what you find. If you need anything, anything at all, let me know immediately and I will do all in my power to make it yours. Do you have any questions?"
"Can we start?" Ginny asked.
"Please." Dumbledore responded.
With that said Draco went to Dumbledore's desk and picked up the large tome. He placed it under his left arm and grabbed Ginny's hand with the right. He pulled her through the door and down the stairs.
As they traveled to the library, Draco asked Ginny, "What did you mean our love will die? Has something changed? Do you know more than you let on to Dumbledore about this whole Merlin and Reilly thing?"
"Last night, I had a dream. It was about you and me. We were here at Hogwarts out by the lake. We were on opposite sides and we were engulfed in opposing auras."
"Opposing auras?"
"Yes, yours was black and mine was white. Harry was on a boat in the middle of the lake. His aura was grey, but he also had a black eye and a white eye. He seemed to be seeing both sides of the situation."
"Great, just what we need; Harry Potter intervening in our lives. Joy!"
"Draco, I think after speaking to Dumbledore; we are dealing with more than childish scuffles. We are going to need everyone to fight this. This is the ultimate good versus evil. This will make Voldemort look like a bunny rabbit."
"Ginny, you and I are the strongest witch and wizard since the ultimate wizard, Merlin. It is believed we are probably more powerful than Merlin! We will prevail."
"Draco, dear, I know that. However, we may be taking on a dormant, evil Merlin that has had hundreds of years to plot, plan and verify. Our powers will not be good enough by themselves. We need all the help we can get." Ginny said as Draco pulled open the heavy door to the library and held it open for his wife.
It was time to get down to business.
