On earth 7-30-96
"Welcome to dragoons gate" said the tour guide "this used to be a portal to other realms. According to lore masters only the next chosen can open it through his aura." Harry didn't hear any of this because of the pain caused by the bright portal only he could see pulsing and shimmering wildly suddenly it stopped he felt at peace and he sang the one thing he could sing in spite of the world he lived in. "eight dragons of the ancient day bond to my soul this mage doth prey become my sword and armor that be grey combine our power this is what I say." At that very moment the world shook magic items pulsed and 8 gemmed figures came to life as the gate opened for the first time in 1996 years the world would be in stasis for 4 long years
