DISCLAIMER: Charmed and The Magnificent 7 weren't created by and aren't owned by me, and I only use them in fanfiction for fun without any money-making involved.
WARNINGS: There's a mention of blood in a later scene. Mild swearwords appear in a few places, but nothing really offensive.
MAIN CHARACTERS: Chris, Ella Gaines, Turner (OMC), Ezra
AU Type: The Charmed Seven. The tenth story written in the AU that puts the Seven in the modern-day Charmed world (instead of the Halliwells) where magic exists, but is kept secret from most humans. The first story written was "The Seventh Brother" which takes place after the end of this current series.
Closed AU until the whole of this series has been posted.
Author's Note: In this story, some of the demons and warlocks are named (mostly just surnames) after evil characters in "Charmed" and "The Magnificent Seven".
Series Note: The second story of three especially about Chris, predating "The Seventh Brother". Takes place about three years after Part 6: "The Fifth and Sixth Sons".
Acknowledgments: Thanks to Jessie Jane for her input which has helped me improve this story.
Spoilers: None.
Teaser
A few torches attached to the rock walls lit the inside of a large cavern in the Underworld. Sitting upon a black chair on a platform with steps, was a large being shrouded in a hooded black cloak. "The prophecy could still come true unless something is done to stop the seven uniting."
"My liege, the rules clearly state that we may not harm a witch whose powers are bound," replied a demon, who was the shape of a large, well-built human, but naked with dark green skin. "The bound powers must be released first."
"We still do not know how to unbind a witch's powers. We can stop the prophecy coming true by destroying the existing Potter witches."
"They are wary of everyone and everything; it won't be easy to destroy them."
The Source grinned. "I have a secret weapon which will aid us in their defeat," he informed the demon. He closed his eyes and chanted some long, unrecognizable words. A long wooden staff appeared in his hands, and he pointed it at the demon. "Now to test this." A blue lightning bolt shot out of the staff and struck the demon, causing him to smoke until he disappeared, still screaming in pain.
"Perfect. Now, I just need a servant who will use this to destroy the Potters for me."
