Chapter 11

The voice was impossible to place, one couldn't tell if it was male or female with the way it seemingly distorted.

The hair on the back of Harry's neck stood on end and next to him Emma was growling lips curled back to expose fangs at this xeno that has found their homeworld. Harry calms himself and reminds himself that even if the Harlequins are dangerous he has the advantage in both numbers and fire power not to mention training and leadership.

"And to what do I owe the illustrious privilege to speak to one such as you follower of the laughing god, last I checked you did not speak with humans unless it was useful to you."

Though it burned his throat to say he knew he had to treat them with respect less they do something he wouldn't know about until it was to late to fix it, the Harlequin on screen chuckles placing it's hand Infront of it's grotesque mask.

"You honor me Great Wolf of Death by speaking so honorably to one such as I, but we are here for the simple reason of helping you achieve your mission."

Immediately suspicion spreads through him but he knows better then to spit in the face of such a gift, after all Lukas said out of all the xenos he's fought only the Harlequins have his respect.

Considering that he shows no respect to even the chapter master of his own legion that is something to truly take into consideration, after all if even the jackel wolf gives praise to your skills you must be a fierce foe indeed.

"I must ask what this gift is before you give it to me, I wouldn't want to have something I know nothing about after all, and perhaps you could tell me your name, after all I do not know if it's rude or not to simply call you the Harlequin."

Another chuckle from the xeno on screen before it moves slightly to the side and gestures to a plinth in the middle of the room it has been standing in.

"You may call this one Strasa Great Wolf of Death, and the gift is simply this, a necklace made with some of our strongest psykers working on it to ensure it's success. We know that you plan to rely on your abilities to blend into the schools population but it will ultimately fail."

Harry can't help but grunt at this feeling insulted that his powers are being slandered in such a way but knowing that he cannot be to quick to anger lest he runs the risk of a fight.

"This artifact will provide the same out come using your energies to fuel it, you will be de-aged back to that of an eleven year old allowing you to blend in seamlessly. Another function is that once you stop feeding it you will once again be back to your full form allowing you access to all your skills and abilities."

Harry is not only shocked but surprised that they would make such an item for him let alone a human he begins to feel the inklings of a much grander plan then simply amusement at his pain.

"And wait if I may be so allowed to know is the reason such a gift is to be bestowed upon me when it is well known that you and many of your fellow Harlequins do not care for us Strasa."

Almost unnaturally it tilts it's head and seems to study Harry or be listening to something far away from where they currently are, but before Harry can think of something to say to apologize without really apologizing to the xeno it snaps it's head back in place. It stares down Harry and in a voice completely different from what it had been using before it speaks.

"We have asked our followers to make this so that you may complete your mission Great Wolf of Death, once you have completed it I would ask you for a simple favor. I would ask you to make a chapter of your own Astartes and to give me control of ten of them for my own purpose for a total of ten earth years."

As the laughing god spoke, for what else could it be Harry thought, he at first felt trepidation then anger and now he felt confusion at the request this being has made.

"So all you wish for me to do is become a Primarch for a chapter of my own and then let you have ten of them for ten earth standard years, this seems like such a minor gift for a large request. what else does this artifact do that makes it worth such a request , what do you see that makes this such a worthwhile endeavor to choose?"

A cackling that seems to come from all around yet is not being produces by anything reverberates the ship seemingly making it seem like it will shake apart.

"Your jackel wolf prepared you well Great Wolf of Death, yes it has more secrets but I don't think it's something to be spoiled, and yes what you go to do will impact the warp more then you could ever know. But I will make it so the deal seems less stacked in my favor, ask me any favor within my power and I shall grant it Great Wolf of Death."

To say Harry was shocked was to say Fenris was nippy, a xeno God has just promised him anything he wanted so long as it was within his power with no other add-ons besides the previously stated terms.

Harry had half a mind to tell it to give him the keys to the black library, but knew this would be something he could do nothing with. So he thought long and hard on what he could possible gain that would benefit the Imperium as a whole.

Then from the back of his mind a memory appears, something that he hadn't thought of in the centuries he had been training and performing his duties as a space marine.

"Very well then laughing god this is my request, I want you to put a healing function upon the golden throne that will activate only if the subject that sits upon it survives a total of fifteen millenia, it will heal them to full health no matter how bad their physical form has become."

Once again a laughter that is every where yet no where fills and rattles the ship but now it is even stronger the laughs full belly things that lead to several warnings to flare up around the ship.

The Harlequin that the laughing god has in habited seems to almost be dying from the laughing fit the god is going through, but luckily it soon stops and gains control of itself. saving it's follower and making it so no more damage will befall Harry's ship but light chuckles escape the gods lips as he address Harry.

"Very well Great Wolf of Death we have a deal, once the golden throne is made I shall have the healing function emplaced so that your emperor may walk amongst you again in return for this artifact."

As the god seems to be leaving the Harlequins body it imparts a final message.

"I can't wait to see what you accomplish Great Wolf of Death."

The Harlequin slumps to the floor and stays there for a minute before with what appeared to be great difficulty it stood up and continued to have their previous conversation as if nothing happened.

Hours later the Harlequins ship leaves the Sol system with Harry now in position of the artifact and a team of Mechanicus looking it over to wnsure no tricks had been left behind.

Harry leaves them to this and heads to the bridge sending a data burst that he wishes to speak to the war master and the Primarchs about this new development and what this may mean for the future. After all none of them knew of the great betrayal that was to come and though he wished he could tell them, he knew that even he could not mess with the time line.

MEANWHILE AT HOGWARTS

As the beginning to the school year began drawing closer Albus couldnt help but feel a slight trepidation at what was to come.

For while he may not know how young Tom survived he was running a large risk by placing the stone within easy reach of him, along with the one that stopped him the first time, Albus felt he may be slipping in his elder years if this was the best ppan he could come up with.

But even wirh revision and looking at it from different angles this seemed to be the best approach to the problem, he just hoped no colatoral damage happened to his students.

Hope you all enjoyed the chapter sorry it took so long i have no excuse, anyway please leave a review and i hope you have a good day or night.
