DISCLAIMER: I DO NOT OWN HARRY POTTER NOR THE BEASTMASTER
A/n: I made the whole thing slightly different then in the Beastmaster series due to the fact that these are wizards' not normal people. For wizarding folk it is more complicated then with a Muggle so to speak.
THE MASTER OF BEASTS
Chapter Eight: Birth of the New Beastmasters
As the spiders began to finish up what they had started and lick the blood off the ground content as they could not eat the flesh of their victims. The spiders with the help of the centaurs began to pick up the pieces of their victims. Every last piece of flesh was collected and then placed in their proper place in the center of the clearing. Overhead Fawkes soared down from the skies and with his tears sealed the wounds on both sides. By the death of your human selves may you be reborn not of man but of beast. With that said the phoenix spilled the rest of his tears to heal the wounds of the children. He then flew up to the branches along with Hedwig, Pig and Crookshanks.
Through the forest many animals came to watch the event from bugs to dragons. A single gnome and pixy walked into the clearing with a pot full of blood four bowls in total. They along with several other creatures began to mark the bodies in runes. The runes were in many languages including some that were lost to humans for centuries. Sheroc still watched from the skies as when the marks were finished they began to draw a symbol on the ground. Knowing what it means Sheroc waited.
The symbol itself represents the magic of all things connecting all of them. It was remembered by all creatures mostly the magical for they are more intelligent. A single dragon a Hungarian horntail drew the mark while a Norwegian ridgeback drew his blood and repeated the process. The whole time they spilled the drops of blood around in circles unicorns entered the circle and they too added their blood along with a basilisk. As the sun continued to climb and the shadows receded different magical creatures added their blood to the circle till finally as the sun began to set; a single shadow descended from the skies.
Sheroc swooped down from the heavens and landed in the middle of the circle as all the animals backed away. He stared at each and every body on the ground analyzing them. When he was finished Sheroc then began to chant the spell that would bind their magic and release it to nature.
Magic from within human flesh
Bound by human emotions
I bid thee release
Magic from within nature
Magic that surrounds us
I call you to bind the souls here before me
As he said this the bodies began to glow a golden color then silver as they began to float before the group. The ground beneath them began to glow as well as the symbols under them gave life. The ground first had a red then silver then gold then black and then bluish white.
No longer will they be bound to man
No longer will they be bound to their laws
No longer will they be bound to man's desires
The bodies began to move in a circle as they started going faster and faster as the light from the ground glowed brighter and the wind began to pick up. It was like a tornado of light with lightning dancing all around the circle.
They are to be bound to thee
They are to be bound to nature
They are bound to life
As they went faster and faster different colors and different parts of the circle began to make itself known. Sheroc watched as they began to activate one by one. The children began to glow as well bonding with the wild magic that is part of nature itself.
They are bound to fire and air
Earth and water
Heaven and hell
Living and death
The forest seemed to come to life as the trees started to light up as the magic within them began to fill the clearing. Other creatures began to emerge as well sprites, fairies, nymphs and the likes that have hardly every been seen in centuries. From the lakeside the merpeople emerged from the lake to see the magic that began to make the water around them glow.
Fawkes being a bird of fire began to sing a loud chorus which is followed by a cap of thunder as another bird took song as well. This bird looked similar to Fawkes but was bigger as big as a large plane as it too sent its voice in chorus. Soon others began to join in the song as the magic began to fill them.
Bound are they to each other
Bound they are to life
May their magic be tied to the earth
To life
May they become its guardians and keepers
May they be born not of man but of nature itself
With that said Sheroc screeched and spread his wings. The power of his voice carried to all corners of the world as if every living thing that is not human heard this and began to chorus their voices from roars to songs. As their voices carried the light began to fade and then nothing and as if on cue group by group they began to leave the clearing.
The only ones who remained were Hedwig, Pigwigdeon, Crookshanks, Fawkes, and Sheroc. Sheroc being the caster remained as he slowly walked to each and everyone of them. As he stepped up onto their bodies the marks that were put on them disappeared into their skin. Walking up to Draco first (since he was the last to die) he parted his lips and breathed life into them.
There was a gasping of breath and then they fell into a blissful sleep as their life had been renewed. He then turned to the familiars that had gathered around the group. I see you are as faithful as always Sheroc said and the familiars nodded all in their own way. We are in this together Hedwig implied as she settled herself down to her master's side, they will wake in three days it gives their bodies enough time to adjust to the change in magic he said before flying off.
