Harry couldn't believe his ears. He had heard legends about elemental mages, of the power they used to wield, but he couldn't believe that he could be one.

Draco shook his head. "That's not possible. I read about them. They died off thousands of years ago."

Merlin smiled, his eyes twinkling slightly. "I know how you boys feel. When I was fifteen I had two prophecies made about me. The first being that I would defeat the greatest villain of our time. But the second was more confusing. Hmm... Let me see if I can remember it exactly;

Dranocious Lester Merlin, child of the earth, son of Apollo, son of Diana, dawn of the light, caller of the power, future to the world of man. You shall receive a reward above any other wizard of your time. In the fifth millennium of the earth you shall meet the Son of Zeus. He shall bear the lightning bolt of the gods upon his forehead, and the wisdom of Athena in his mind. He shall be an orphan from birth, and he will forever be watched by Phoenix, Guide of the Spirits. He will be tested beyond any thought of mortal man, his mortal enemy being his double. His power shall always come from the water, the source of knowledge. You will present him with two gifts, one of power, one of heart. But remember that he will never truely know his abilities until he must save the one he loves most, the one watched by the Dragon, Friend of the Phoenix, Power to the wizards. And when this comes to pass, then you Dranocious Lester Merlin shall know your true destiny is revealed.

Merlin sighed, "I never thought my memory was that good. I even surprise myself sometimes."

Draco and Harry stood there, mouths agape. Finally, returning to his senses, Harry spoke. "I don't understand. Am I that child?"

Merlin nodded. "I needed more proof, but after the fight you had with my guardian, I am sure of it."

Draco shook his head. "That's not possible. I know for a fact that there is and hasn't been a living elemental mage for almost two millennia."

"Right you are." Merlin said, his eyes twinkling again. "For neither James Potter, nor Lillian Evans, was of elemental decent." After taking a quick look at Harry's confused look, Merlin decided it was time for a history lesson.

"You see Harry, Elemental Mages wielded not all of the powers of the world, but only the ones that they were born into. Fire mages could cast firestorms, throw fireballs, and move at incredible speeds. Just as Earth mages could move the ground, create great cities in moments, and were practically unstoppable in hand-to-hand combat.

"Water mages were a special type, they were few in numbers, because they believed that breeding with other elemental mages, or worse a human, would only soil the powers they had, and so it became harder and harder to find a wife for them.

"But even in small numbers, they were exceedingly powerful. They could move the water, summon it, and command it to do even the smallest tasks. But most of their power came from their knowledge. The water elemental's always searched for the knowledge to become immortal.

"Sadly in the end all elements began to inter breed, and some even fell in love with humans. So the powers they had were lost over the generations. Causing them to have to draw upon other powers, to use their own. Things were created to do this easier for them. Things such as Staves, orbs, rings, bracelets, and later on, wands.

"But with the other things, they began to becomes less and less useful for the user, and the people were less and less able to conjure the spells they wanted. So they discovered that using wands, filled with a magical animals hair, feather, or claw, would give them the power that they needed.

"So as you can see, the mages were soon completely diminished, having lost all of their great powers they once had. My mother was one of the last that was able to do wandless magic, and it was in such small quantities that I barely ever saw it."

"But that means I shouldn't be able to do wandless magic, or be an elemental." Harry said, beginning to become very confused.

Merlin nodded, "You are right Harry. Only thing different being that you are not only the son blessed by the love of his earthly mother, but one blessed by his goddess mother."

Harry blinked, totally confused, "My...goddess mother...?"

Merlin laughed. "I think I have seen dogs with smarter looks." When Harry began to say something, Merlin waved it off, "Harry you are the not only blessed by the powers of all those who fought to keep you safe, but by the power of the gods that brought you here to defeat the greatest evil to grace the earth in a thousand years.

"Voldemort is also one touched by the gods, but he is the son of Hades, god of the underworld. He is granted all the dark powers that he has, having only the will to kill all those around him.

"So in an act to stop the darkness spreading across the earth, Zeus and Athena gave a mortal named Lillian Evans a blessed child. I guess you cant say exactly that you were given birth by the gods, but they blessed you with more power than was imaginable by your parents."

Suddenly Merlin looked up, his grip on his staff becoming suddenly tight. "We are not alone..." He said softly, pulling Harry and Draco behind him.

Draco and Harry immediately pulled our their wands, staring into the darkness. "Show yourselves." Merlin said, his voice echoing around the chamber.

Almost instantly, three people dressed in long dark cloaks apparated around them. "Who are you? And why have you disturbed my resting place."

The three slowly pulled back their hoods, revealing, Lucius Malfoy, Bellatrix Lestrange, and finally Tom Riddle, better known as Voldemort. "We are the ones here to take the orb," Came Voldemort's smooth voice, "And it appears we are not the first to disturb your sleep."

"I don't understand," Harry whispered, "The castle is protected from them apparating here."

Merlin shook his head, "I guess that is my fault. This area isn't really a part of the castle, it is protected by its own charms from the rest of the castle, and in my time apparating wasn't a problem, so my chamber isn't protected from it."

Draco sighed, "Great, just freakin great."

Suddenly Lucius noticed his son stand behind Merlin. "So I see that you have chosen the way of death over my way, Draco."

Draco seemed to go slightly pale at the sound of his 'father's' voice. But Harry immediately grabbed Draco's hand, holding it tight. Draco took a deep breath, before saying. "Yes father, I have chosen the side of light, over your side of pain."

Lucius snarled at this, raising his wand at Merlin. Voldemort quickly waved him off, walking toward Merlin. "So Merlin here's how it's gonna be. You will give me the orb you possess, and we will let the children walk free."

Merlin laughed at this, "You couldn't defeat me if you wanted to. I could kill you three in my sleep."

Voldemort nodded, "This is true, that is why there is not just three of us." At this, several wands around the chamber lit, reveal twenty or thirty death eaters around them. "Now I say again, give me the orb, or face my wrath."

Merlin shook his head. "I am charged to give this only to the one who is destined for it. You couldn't wield it if you wanted to."

Voldemort laughed softly, a sound that made Harry's skin crawl. "We shall see." Raising his wand he said, "Crucio!"

The spell flew at Merlin, but suddenly rebounded off some invisible shield. "You shall not have the orb for your evil causes." Said Merlin, the orb now a dark red atop his staff.

"Avada Kedavra!" Said multiple voices throughout the chamber. Causing several streams of green power to engulf the barrier.

The shield held for a moment, before breaking, the spells striking Merlin. A scream of pain escaped Merlin's lips as he fell to the floor. Voldemort laughed softly. "Old fool."

But suddenly Merlin pushed himself off the floor, the staff closed in his hand. "Nareth! Come to me!"

Out of the darkness, the tall angel appeared. "Master?" Merlin pulled himself up, "Fight them!" He said, pointing at the death eaters.

Nareth nodded, raising his arms level with the heads of the death eaters. "You are given one warning. Leave or face my wrath."

The Death eaters began to laugh, "Let's get him," and "Prepare to feel my wrath," was heard from the death eaters.

The angel nodded, "You have been warned." Instantly the room was alight with the multiple lightning bolts that shot from his finger tips, striking ever black cloaked figure in the room.

Voldemort finally was able to break away from the bolt. Pulling his wand from his pocket. "Another time Potter!" Then whispering a short incantation, he vanished, and all the other death eaters, from the black room.

Merlin sighed, leaning harder against his staff. Harry immediately rushed to his side, trying to help him stand. Merlin waved him off, saying, "I can't die twice."

Harry laughed slightly at this, then said, "Um... Merlin, sir, if there isn't anything else to tell us, I think we should probably get going. Dumbledore is probably be wondering where we are."

Merlin nodded. "You are right. Then I must give you these last two things.

First I must give you this orb." Reaching up, Merlin pulled the glowing orb from the top of the staff. "I believe it is called the Orb of Santinui." Draco's eyes went wide at this, but Harry didn't seem to understand the importance.

"Draco can fill you in on what it does later," Merlin said, laughing at Harry's confusion. "And lastly, I must give you this," Merlin reached up, taking off the pendant he was wearing. "This is the Tear-Drop of Morpheus, god of dreams. If you place it around your neck, he will grant you the noblest wish you have."

Harry looked up, "You mean my parents...?"

But Merlin only shook his head. "The Pendant can not bring back the dead Harry, sorry."

Suddenly Draco turned to Harry, grasping his hands. "Harry, your godfather..."

Harry turned away, a silent tear escaping his eye. "Sirius is dead."

Draco shook his head. "No he's not. Wish for him! Wish for Sirius back Harry!"

Harry looked at the pendant for a moment, before reaching out his hands and grasping it. A small light began to glow from it, increasing in intensity every second, until finally it completely engulfed Harry.

A smooth voice flowed into Harry's mind, encompassing his every thought. Harry James Potter, Blessed son of the gods, your request has been granted. The light immediately vanished, returning Harry to a dark, unlit, room.

Suddenly a voice pierced the darkness. "Harry? Harry is that you?"

"Sirius!" Harry practically shouted. The orb Harry was now holding lit, illuminating the large chamber. And in front of them, stood a tall, very long black haired, very naked, Sirius Black.


And that's it for now, not hit that review button and make me happy.
