----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Harry awoke sometime later that week. After the sword fight with Forge, Harry felt strangely drained, it was like he had been running 20 mile then decided to do 300 sit-ups. So to say that Harry wasn't feeling all too well would be an understatement.
Suddenly Harry's gut decided to make itself known with an almighty roar, which lucky no one was around to hear, so he climbed out of his bed and went in search of food.
After sitting at the table for about half an hour stuffing his face Harry began to feel like someone was watching him which was starting to really un-settle Harry. The longer Harry sat there the longer Harry felt like he wasn't alone.
Just when Harry was finishing up he saw something shimmer out of the corner of his eye, and before even Harry knew what he was doing, he had his axe in both his hands and had his eyes fixed on the slight glimmer. 'All those games of playing Seeker are starting to pay off'.
With a slight pop Forge stood there smiling down at Harry with pride flowing from him.
"Well done, you are the first person to notice me on there first true day of training"
"What do you mean 'First true day of training'?"
"Well yesterday I was just showing you down and how well you had bonded with your weapons, which I see is a great deal. You didn't even draw your axe, it just appeared in your hand. It took Arthur a few weeks before he could do that with Excalibur, but maybe its easier with the axe" Forge said with a shrug.
"So you mean you today your going to start my training?" said Harry, excitement started to show through.
"Yep, but don't be so excited, by the time your done, your going to hate me"
"Uh, ok. So what am I going to learn today then?"
"Today you are going to learn what powers and abilities you've got and ill explain to you what a Drake Lord is"
"Cool!"
"Indeed, now follow me if you would"
And so Forge and Harry left the kitchen and went into the Hall of Doors where there was two armchairs facing each other and a table between them. On the table were two stones and two pieces of parchment.
"We will just stay in here today for a bit I think. Now sit down and ill explain to you what's going to happen"
Before Harry could even move Forge and jumped across the room and was sitting comfortably on one of the armchairs looking at Harry as if telling him to hurry up. He sighed and dropped himself in the armchair facing Forge and looked into the Amber eyes of his trainer to nearly shout out when he saw a deep excitement inside them. This set Harry really on edge as he didn't know what was going to happen or why Forge was so excited.
"Now, are you comfy as this might be a long explanation, so you comfy?"
"Yup" said Harry with more and more un-easiness spreading through him.
"Right now, well I created these stones quite a long time ago so that I knew what to teach my students so that I knew what each special power they had. This blue stone will tell you what abilities you have and the black stone will tell you what powers you have. Each of your powers will show up written on the parchment! Ingenious isn't it, and it only took me 200 years to think of!"
"So why do you need two stones? don't they both do the same?"
"Ah, that's the clever bit, the purple stone tells you what your good at, and the black stone tells you what special gifts you have like Animagus or Elementalist"
"uh, ok, so what do I need to do?"
"Just pick up the purple stone for now and we shall go from there"
So Harry bent foreword and slowly picked up the purple stone. Nothing seemed to happen. Harry just sat there for nearly then minuets and was about to ask Forge if there was anything more to do when he felt the stone getting warmer and giving off a gentle glow. And as soon as it came it was gone and now the parchment was glowing and words appearing on it. Forge snapped up the parchment and told Harry he could put the stone down.
"This is interesting Harry, I've never seen someone this good at this many things! Its nearly unheard of"
"What, what does it say?"
Instead of saying Forge just passed him the sheet with all the information on. Harry nearly fell out of the seat when he saw the results.
Harry James Potter
Battle Magic - 25
Dark Arts - 200
Defence Against Dark Arts - 200
Transfiguration - 150
Potions - 100
Swordsmanship - 450
Battle Axe - 500
Hand to Hand Fighting - 300
Rune Magic - 230
Harry just stared at the paper in total shock. Then looked at the numbers, wondering what they meant he asked Forge.
"That. Harry, is the score out of 100 on how good you are, and as you see, you are well over the limit. Most wizards that score 90-100 are called masters in that art. I believe the only potions master alive at the moment is Severus Snape. His would say 100 and as you can see you match him. And your fighting skills are through the roof, in all my years of teaching I've never seen a score in anything higher than 150 and you seem to have smashed that score easy"
Harry just sat there absorbing it all in. he was going to match Snape in potion skills and he had natural talent for more kinds of magic than anyone alive or ever been alive so far. Even Forge thought that he was extremely powerful! Harry just sat there thinking the stones had gone wrong before Forge snapped him out of it.
"Now I want you to pick up the black stone, and this time lets see how much you know, but this one doesn't have a score, if you have this power, you have full control and its not varied like your talents are"
Harry just sat there and slowly picked up the black stone, still in a shocked state from when he had just picked up the purple stone and yet again there was a flash and the parchment started glowing writing down how much of a freak he was.
"Hmm, you seem to be full of surprises don't you, you've got some skills here that I haven't seen anyone with for a long, long time. You are going to be one bad ass hero when you get out of here"
Again he passed the sheet to Harry so he could absorb all the information on it.
Harry James Potter
Drake Lord
War Mage
Shadow Mage
Telepathy
Empathy
Wandless Magic
Lower Elementalist
Higher Elementalist
Magical Animagus
Parseltounge
Beast Talker
Apparition
Jumping
Harry read the list slowly through once more, just as Harry was starting to process the information he passed out and was unconscious yet again since his stay with Forge.
Forge on the other hand just sat there and chuckled. 'If he keeps this up he's going to spend more time out cold than he is training'
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Slowly Harry began to come round and his back felt awful. Forge had obviously not bothered to take him to his bed this time. Harry just moaned and cursed Forge as he slowly started to come back to the land of the conscious. Just as Harry had finished his string of words describing Forge in not such a polite was he noticed the man was still sitting the same chair that he was before Harry blacked out with a glint in his eyes.
"Hey, glad to see your awake, because for that I'm going to train you so hard this week everything you just said about me is going to come true" said Forge with a slight chuckle that didn't sound like it was in good faith and the whole room seemed darker and colder. Harry shuddered involuntary
Then with a snap the room returned to how it was before but with that evil gleam still in Forge's eyes making Harry still feel endangered.
"Uh, um, would you mind explaining to me what half of this list means, please?"
"Of course I would"
Forge took the list and began reading through it again and started his list of them all going through it.
"Well lets see here, a War Mage. Being a War Mage means that you have incredible physical strength but it also means that you can contain a lot more magic inside of you because the more power you have, the more stress on the body, so yours is naturally refined and toned, and I shall be training you to make you even stronger than you already are. Being a War Mage is nothing exactly special except strength. Now then, what else have we got here…Shadow Mage. This skill is a lot more interesting though. This allows you to become a shadow. This means if you are about to be hit by a weapon or a sharp object you can turn into a shadow and anything your holding will too. It can also be used to avoid spells but the killing curse will still hit you, because it kills anything in its path, shadows included. Hmm what else have we got here…Telepathy, you should know what that is, to put it bluntly, mind reading, and Empathy is feeling someone's emotions so you know if there hostile or not, things like that. Wandless Magic is self explanatory so I'm not going to even bother, Your also a full elementals, meaning you have control over the lower and higher elements. This means that being a lower elementalist you can control Fire, Water, Earth and Air but only in there raw forms. Being a higher elementalist means you can control things like Volcanoes and lightning where two elements cross over causing and even greater force. But being in control of just the higher abilities does not mean that you can control the lower ones in there raw forms, but you on the other hand can. And you must be the first person that has ever been able to do both for about a millennia. A Parseltounge you should know what that is, as it has been used before and halfway been to fully mastered. A beast talker is self explanatory it just means that you can talk to ALL animals not just snakes. You were never meant to be a Parseltounge so its kind of pointless once you become a beast talker as you can talk to everything in the same language. You should also know what apparition is because it is incredibly common in the wizard world but jumping is a lot more complex. The only other thing I can think of that you will know is house elves. They do a kind of jump, where as in no wards can get in there way, but there is also no noise when you do a true jump and you just fade from one spat to another but its a lot harder to do and takes more concentration and power. Meaning that apparition is safer and easier. Any questions?"
"Wow, I can do all that? that's amazing! But the list said I was a Drake Lord and you never said anything about it, why not?"
"Ah, you've caught me out" said Forge looking a little sheepish, "to tell you the truth I'm not really sure what one is, all I know is this. A Drake Lord has power that is equalled by none and has the universe resting on his back, he has a heart of gold, and will always fight to help and defend what is right, he will carry the ancient axe and be the Golden Knight."
"That is all I could really find out about it, oh yeah, you also wont die of old age, you wont age past about 20 till the next Drake Lord is born and you must teach him everything you know and you also have a dragon animagus but you will also have at least one more as the dragon form is actually your birth right and not an animagus"
"Are you a Drake Lord?"
"Are you stupid, if I was I would be able to hold that axe wouldn't I?"
"Ah, sorry" said Harry starting to feel a little stupid now.
"Hey its ok, but no I'm not a Drake Lord, I'm the Forger of Heroes, and I have a lot more restrictions on me than you do."
"Ok…so is that it for today?"
"Yep, now go have a shower then go to bed, you stink! When was the last time you got cleaned up?"
"Oops,. Sorry" and Harry ran off to the bathroom.
Inside the bathroom Harry stared at the full length mirror. This was the first time he had looked at himself properly since he came into his powers, and to say he was shocked was an understatement of the centaury. He now stood at 6'5" and his body was lined with toned muscles that covered him. His body resembled Forge but not quite as pronounced and he didn't have the air of power around him. But he guessed by the time he was finished he was going to be easily as strong as Forge if not stronger if being a Drake Lord meant his power was unrivalled. Then he thought about all his friends and how they must be missing him, then realised they wouldn't be because time worked differently here and they probably wouldn't even know he was gone, but that didn't mean he wouldn't miss them for all the time he would be stuck here. Then his thoughts went to Voldemort and how it was his fault that Sirius was dead and if he didn't stop him soon his friends would be dead too and everyone he knew. His mind suddenly went calm and everything seemed to flow around him and his Golden aura become visible around him as he thought of Voldemort and ridding the world of him, the reflection looking back at him wasn't a 16 year old boy but a strong proud man that could and would fight the darkness with everything he had till he didn't have anything left.
Harry was suddenly overwhelmed with tiredness and he climbed into the shower to wash off all the grime he had collected over the time since his last wash and felt like a heavy load had been lifted from him while he stood under the constant pounding of the hot water on his back.
Yes, he would train here with all that he was worth and make Forge proud of him. He was GOING to beat Voldemort one way or another and he wouldn't stop till he did.
