A/N: When we last left the Great Sage, Professor Albus Dumbledore, he left the refectory with Sena in tow. Now, we shall see what happens...
Eighth Night-High Merlin's Council
Dumbledore, accompanied by Sena, exited the Pagoda itself and began crossing the lake casually as both were used to it. Sena, walking just one step from the Great Sage was wondering why he was needed. Although Sena's uneasiness was sensed by the Great Sage, he took no noticed and passed through a forest using a pebbled path. It was until they come in front of a pale indigo building that Sena came out of his wondering.
The building is similar to the Great Coliseum with stone pillars supporting each floor and has a round structure. The main difference is that it wasn't high, only two storeys in height, the circumference was not as big and that there is a domed roof over the top. The entrance seemed to be non-existent if looked from afar, but once in the radius of around five paces, a set of doors appeared in front of those who wishes to seek an audience with the Council of Merlins and Sages or the Order of Driuds. This building was known as a training ground for sage and merlin apprentices. Just outside of the building, a tiny coffee shop was set up. There were tables outside, overlooking the surrounding lush green trees. It was a peaceful and relaxing area to be in. However, something strange struck Sena. It wasn't the large umbrellas, nor was it the fact that there was no one manning the café. It was something that not many noticed, the ground that the café was set up upon seems to also be non-existent. The café seemed to be floating in the air as there was scenery below but when stepped upon, it is as solid as the earth.
Dumbledore gestured Sena to sit down and instantly, two cups of tea appeared in front of the two customers. Sena waited patiently whilst sipping his tea until the time when the Great Sage spoke.
"You are wondering as to why I've asked you to accompany me?" Dumbledore asked as he looked up into the eyes of Sena. The blue eyes were twinkling with a hint of mischievousness but also remains hints of power.
"I do not think asking was appropriate" Sena replied knowing full well that asking would lead to a more confusing answer.
"Ah! I see you've learnt it the hard was with Lady Dana," Dumbledore smiled at this. He could now see why Sena was also a prized student and how he is difference from the others. "Very well, I'll spare you the wait. The fact is that the school that I'm headmaster of has need for a Defence Teacher." Waiting for an answer from Sena, which he found none of, so he continued his tale, "I've been searching for quite some time in the Earth Realm, but none wanted to job. So I've decided to come back into Ragnarak to search for possible candidates and asked Lady Dana if there were any she'd recommend..." Dumbledore trailed off.
"And she recommended me?" Sena said more of a question than a statement.
"Yes, she did. So I am now asking you, if you'd like to take up the job. Bearing in mind that you'd have to keep this realm and your relationship with Harry."
"Since Lady Dana has said I have the potential, I'd like to give it a try. Though, only if there are no other suitable candidates for the job."
"Then I welcome you to join the teaching staff on behalf of the school." With that said, both sat at the café, discussing the details of the 'employment' until it was nearly noon when Sena said he should be leaving to attend to the duties in the Grand Hall.
Upon Sena's leave, Dumbledore walked towards the domed building. He did not only employ Sena because of the recommendation and the need, but because he knew that there would be no other way to separated Sena from Harry now that the bond is active.
Every time he walked up towards the building, he couldn't help but feel the energy radiating outwards from the walls. Once inside, there was a giant crystal floating in the air, glowing with white light, spreading its heat outwards. He walked passed the crystal into one of the elevating platforms situated in a little niche of its own. He bethought the destination of his desired location and the platform began to move. As this was a public platform, it was important for the user to think of its destination.
When the platform finally stopped, Dumbledore was facing a large doorway with a set of complex recognition system. This doorway was designed to give entry to those specific people, one of which is Dumbledore himself. Once passed the door, there were a few chambers and a staircase leading upwards. Although he was seeking council in the Order of Druids, as it was known to many, he still does not know where he should go. So, taking his chances, he resolved to take the staircase upwards.
Ascending the white marble staircase lead him to another circular chamber with a round table in the middle, a miniature bar with stools and a couple of light globes on the wall between the many arch windows. The roof was doomed and closed at most time but this morning its owner decided to open it.
"Albus old friend, do join us for a cup." A voice called out from the direction where the bar table stood. Sure enough, when Dumbledore looked in that direction, he spotted two men, one behind the bar table and another sitting on one of the many bar stools. Both men wore long robes that matched his own, with a different coloured sash/belt. The one behind the bar counter looked quite young in comparison to the one that sat in front for his hair was burgundy brown and had a tan, which accentuated his pale grey eyes. The other, sitting there drinking from a long glass with a tiny umbrella and cherry wore a robe of midnight brown colour contrasting his long silvery grey hair and bright blue eyes that matched Dumbledore's.
"Taliesin, Myrddin." Dumbledore acknowledged them and walked towards bar table, took a sit and their offer of the drink.
Myrddin, handing over a drink to Dumbledore from behind the counter asked "Why are you visiting us all of a sudden? You haven't been back for so long, we thought we'd never see you again! There's hardly anyone that matches our chess skill and playing it again and again with Taliesin can bore you out real soon..."
"Of all people here, both of you should know..." Dumbledore replied as he took a sip of the cobalt blue liquid in the glass.
"Yes, we do." Was an answer which came from Taliesin, "And the answer to your question is that this realm is being invaded by the negativity that you saw many eons ago in the Earth Realm. We'd never thought that the Darkness could cross between realms and plane to reach the harmonious realm of Ragnarak. But it seems once again we are being deceived."
"Finally, our High Merlin agrees to the fact that he has been cheated! I thought I'd never see this day."
"Yes, and stop calling me 'Merlin' for the sake of the Goddess. I've had enough with the wizards in the Earth Realm using my title as a curse! It's 'For Merlin's Sake' or 'Merlin's nose'. I just don't know what is wrong with my nose!" Dumbledore watch the antics played out between the two High Merlins, head of the Order of Driuds.
"But what of the matter concerning calling HIM back all of a sudden. As I recall, before HE left the realm, we made an agreement as to not affect each other..." Dumbledore decided it was time to clear things up. Even though the whole of the wizarding world in the Earth Realm thought he knew everything, there comes a time when he needs to seek out the answers through asking.
"Yes, that was the case, however, things are beyond the control of the Council, let alone the Order. Both of us" Taliesin nodded at Myrddin to indicate he gave his opinion in this matter as well, "thought that no more time should be lost. Hence the decision. We've allowed HIM to investigate but there is not much time." There were hints of urgency in his voice, which has already been carefully masked but not well enough as it was not often used.
"I see..." Dumbledore pondered for a while, "Then I suppose both realms should work together to overcome this then?"
"I second Albus' idea. Drastic times calls for drastic actions." Myrddin looked at Taliesin but only saw a face full of concern, "sure you can recall the many times realms co-operated. And its not even the first time between Ragnarak and Earth, though it has been a long time. There's nothing to worry about!" Being the most carefree in the whole Order, Myrddin feels nothing could go wrong.
Taliesin, on the other hand, being more experienced and older, can think of many ways that this co-operation could go wrong. But he wasn't going give up the idea completely. After a sigh, he finished his drink and put down his glass, he had come to a decision. "Fine"
After settling the 'petty' issue, the three age-old-friends sat down and enjoyed a drink over idle chat following with a chess game. But this was no ordinary chess game. Although it still follow the rule of being played by two people, the chessboard is comprised of three circular checkered board of the same size stacked on top of each other with a pole through the middle to hold it up. However, the difference in this game is that on each level, there are tiles of different colours as well as the black and white tiles. The different coloured tiles can transport, delay, convert, capture and release one of the many pieces on the chessboard of the player. It is like a cross between a game of snakes and ladders, monopoly and a chess game.
After many games, a few drinks and more discussions, Dumbledore along with Myrddin, left The Council Building, as many like to call it. The three highest in both the Order and the Council set about their own course of action to deter the catastrophe coming upon the realm of Ragnarak. They had come to an agreement that no more time should be wasted on investigating about the Darkness and how far its power spread. Taliesin, whilst remaining in the Council Building, called forth all his contacts, mostly those who govern the other realms, to enable their plans would run smoothly and to ensure that there were co-operation between other realms. Meanwhile, Myrddin set about visiting those he trusted and those who has power. He gathered them together to prepare for the worst should the damage spread beyond the Earth Realm. Meanwhile, Dumbledore would return back to Earth to continue with his work with the Order of Phoenix and to continue with his educational work with those potential few in the wizarding world.
These three had reached the agreement, much to the dislike of Dumbledore who had grown fond of Hogwarts and its presiding realm, to contain Darkness at all costs. Even if this means sacrificing the Earth Realm, as they cannot let the rest of the realms be infected. Even with the combined power of these three, they cannot banish if completely. There is little chance of defeating Darkness and may lead to death, but all three were willing to pay the price for peace and happiness even if it was their destiny to die.
As they set about their separate way, they recalled the events long ago when there were only one realm of existance. Events that had it not be contained, it would have lead to Ragnarok, also known as Apocalypse, Judgement Day and The End Of The World. These all correspond to the one thing, the total annihilation of the place they were occupying at that time.
There were five in the group to defend the realm from the First Evil, but one went astray and never returned. The Sages and Merlins took on the job to look for the one that went astray and to keep the peace and balance of the realm. However, the one that went astray had found the 'mistakes' of people and wanted to 'correct' it. This person was also known as Darkness as it wants to gain peace and protect the realms through destruction and demolition.
Its way of thinking was not appreciated and so it went about on its own. Knowing this, the other four tried to persuade and talk some sense into it but they had failed. When they finally realised that its mind was corrupted beyond the Principles, which everyone of the realm swore to abide and follow, they had no choice but to banish it. Yet, these four were not able to banish it, they only removed the threat from the heart of the realms and had restricted Darkness's powers.
They continually tried to fight of both First Evil and Darkness and finally they could continue no more, they created realms for people to escape to but it was only limited to those who were pure of heart, mind and soul. The realm that First Evil and Darkness lay dormant in was called 'Earth', a realm that beings first emerged from.
Taliesin, Myrddin, Dumbledore, Lady Dana and a few other chosen were the Sages, Merlins and All-Knowers that were given the heavy responsibility of maintaining peace. Only two did venture back into the heart of the problem. Taliesin and Dumbledore went back into Earth on various time frames. Both had found and tried to destroy the two that plague their homeland but did not have much success. Now, they were faced with the situation were both First Evil and Darkness is merged into one form. Thus worsening the situation. The four had resided in Ragnarak once, but they went away, leaving it in the care of those chosen Sages, Merlins and All-Knowers.
Thinking back, Dumbledore remembered how he had wondered around the many continents of the Earth before settling in a little property on the coast. Not long later, he found out about the magic potential of the people that still inhabit the realm. He decided to find out more about these potential and became one of the many teachers of Hogwarts. What he did not know was that Darkness had already started on its scheme of things and had invaded the magical community. Many in the realm of Ragnarak had come to the conclusion that, with its powers restrained, Darkness would not be interfere with its imprisonment. However, the powers of Darkness were beyond their imagination, even the imagination of the Great Dumbledore, that it was able to control people's minds. Invading and twisting them to its own accord.
Dumbledore stood in front of the dimension door that leads back to Earth, more specifically his office. From there, he would contact the relevant people to make arrangements for ambassadors from various realms to gather on Earth. They all thought that it would be best to meet on Earth as it is the place of beginning and so it shall be a place where all shall end. Dumbledore himself did not like it, but there was nothing else he could do.
'There's only so much one can do to protect the place he loved' He thought as he stepped through the dimension doors.
