Chapter 5: The Next Generation

Sir Eriador Potter looked around himself in grim satisfaction. All was ready. Eriador would prevail and live to serve his lord liege again. However not as the man he was now and not until the time came again for him to defend his noble master and his children. He was a tall man, proud and tall. Unbroken through the changes of the world. Glowing scarlet haired and bearded with flames was his great master. A leader with new fresh ideals. It was to bad the rest of England resisted these ideals for now. Such was his father's protégée master Arthur Pendragon the future King of England.

Strange though his master was, so to was Sir Eriador. And perhaps even more so. He was not horribly tall, and yet not short. A good height. For a knight though, he was strangely skinny. Not hardened and muscled like a good warrior should be. And yet still he was one of the most feared knights in medieval Europe. Perhaps what gave him a most imposing figure was his looks. They were black as Hell itself , and twas often said that the devil himself had such eyes. His hair, though twas most defiantly black, had a strange quality to it that made it shine blue. And his eyes though also though black were cerulean darkened over time by the hardships of his life and the loss of those close to him. And in contrast to all of this he was pale as the new dawn. No matter how much time he spend in the sun working and lounging about respectively , his skin simply did not accept the sun. And yet nor did it burn. Perhaps that is why they thought him strange as well? We will never know.

We will know however the main reason he was thought different from others. He was a Merlin Knight. His father's son. There were others like him. 6 or 7 others, he was not sure. For security reasons only Merlin himself knew how many wizards he employed. One being his own son. Yes wizards. Merlin himself was a wizard as was suspected. But few knew that his continent of knights actually included his own kind. And each of them was physically different. One of the few women had violet eyes. Another man had a green strip down his left cheek, a dying accident. A different woman had white hair. And these were only a few.

4 of Merlin's Knights were the Hogwarts Founders themselves. But you know. A Merlin Knight cannot be just anyone. For they are born with a special ability and a destiny each. They are born with the power. Sir Eriador Potter stood in a circle of the last Celtic outpost. Stonehenge. The giant stones began to glow with raw power. It would seal itself until the heirs came to claim the power.

The Power of the Shadow Wolves.

Slowly the other members of the inner circle stepped forward and added their powers to the mix. The twins stood there Gweith and Sara. Their eyes violet and lilac glowed with raw power. Bartholomew Mackay sat cross legged in front of another stone, green skin alight in the stones glow. The other gathered round. Lady Wolfe with her snow white hair stood across the circle from Eriador. Thrusting aside his cloak Eriador drew forth a sword. The brother of Excalibur. The blade was purely silver with strange runes along the side. The hilt was bound with inky black leather, well oiled. The pommel stone was a small diamond cut in the shape of a ravens head. This was the sword of the Lartuen's. Those who see gray instead of black and white.

Eriador's head snapped up to hold the eyes of each of his friends in turn before he said.

"Let us behold the brother of Excalibur! Now we decide who of our descendents shall wield the sword. Are we in agreement?" One of the twins stepped forward. The one with the lilac eyes. She smiled grimly at her leader and friend.

"I am a seer as you all know. And never have I been wrong. I will not reveal to you all for I simply cannot. But this is with whom my vote is cast. I cast Raven Eriador Potter into the ballot. The one who will take your place 1000 years from now and reunite us all. The man who lives under a false name but knows not."

The white haired woman raised her head and looked at every one who nodded their assent. She pierced Eriador Potter with her blank gray eyes. He shivered for if there was anyone to scare the Potter she was it. "We assent Sir Potter. If anyone can do it than it would be a relative of yours and your fathers. You have not steered us wrong yet." Everyone nodded again. The blind woman had put it right.

Suddenly a black man appeared in front of Eriador with the swirl of his cloak. Eriador frowned delicately. "Takuji…your late." Takuji swayed on his feet for a few moments before managing to stand up right. He gasped trying to take in enough air to make his report. "My lord! My assent to young Raven. But that is not what ails me. Hurry up and seal the ritual, an attack has come to Camelot! Seta Riddle is making her move. We must hurry!"

Eriador gasped and took the sword into this hands. Quickly he drew a dagger from his arm and slit his arm allowing the blood to run dripping from it's silver blade. He looked around to see that each of his companions had done the same including Takuji. Raising the sword he allowed each dagger to drop blood onto it's blade.

"By the power invested by my father in me, and in these desperate times we name our heirs. Their leader shall be my grandson to many times great to say. The sword Atsuhiko shall seal our power until the time had come for the Power to be realized again in the reign of terror by Seta and Salazar's heir."

He slammed the tip of the blade into a great rock in carved with Celtic Runes. He buried it to his hilt and then quickly thrust his dagger up to the hilt also. The rock began to glow a sickly green the grew brighter as each dagger was thrust into a circle around the sword. Each Knight raised his or her hands and the shouted together.

"Raven Eriador Potter Atsuhiko!" A powerful bolt of lightning struck the rock from the storm of power they had created. Eriador Potter sent a prayer to his father Merlin for the final seal. One by one they apperated away. Quickly preparing for the battle that would surly bring about their deaths and hopefully that of their enemy.

"YOU JACKASS!"

"I CANNOT BELIVE YOU DID THAT!"

"SHUT UP! YOU STARTED IT!"

"I DID NOTHING WOMAN!"

"Would you guys give it a rest? Some of us want to eat dinner in peace." Kari yawn lazily and leaned back into Harry's shoulder. Teddy looked at her like she was crazy. "Are you nuts? This is the best entertainment we've had all night. You know at least they can up a good fight? What do you think, am I crazy?" Kari looked up at him half asleep. "I dunno. Ask Lee."

"I can't he's two busy letting Sara pick him apart again."

"Well I guess he was being a little insensitive. But I don't think that was a good reason to kick him where it matters. You know they would make a great couple." Harry stated indifferently.

"WHAT!" Both Lee and Sara looked up at Harry with a horrified expression on their faces. He smirked glad he finally drew their attention. He looked down at Kari and resumed their conversation on the Quidditch World Cup. Chances were on Ireland again since Bulgaria lost Victor Krum. Lee and Sara looked at each other and then looked down at the awkward position they had been stopped in. Sara yelped and gave Lee a final slap before retreating to the couch with Eli. Lee rubbed the cheek she slapped before grinning insolently. "Oh ya. She digs me."

Suddenly a loud popping was heard. Mackey and Jade appeared out of breath. "No hunting tonight dear Harry." Mackey announce happily. Harry lifted an eye brow. "Oh and why not? Ruin my fun will you?"

"Oh I think your going to like this much better."

"Oh?"

"You mean Oh Yes!" Jade replied happily. Harry sat up a little straighter a grin being to unfold across his face, that was slightly maniacal. Kari became awake very quickly. Teddy stopped in the middle of his and Eli's game of Poker. "You found it?" the whisper came from Teddy. The almost identical girls nodded. They lifted their heads proudly as everyone began to whoop wildly.

"TOOK LONG ENOUGH!"

"YES! FUCKING RIGHT!"

"Ohhhh…….." Harry moaned in pain and clutched his chest. Kari put her arms around him and he allowed himself to lean onto her. She looked at him worriedly. "Where is it…where did…you…fi..find it!" He gasped. Kari looked up at the 2 girls expectantly. "It's time. It has to be tonight. Harry must be feeling the pull of the power stronger than ever."

The girls looked at each other. "Stonehenge." came the quiet reply. With 7 pops, Harry had to be side a longed, the Shadow Wolves headed toward their destination that would show them who they truly are.

Woo…an intriguing turn of events no? Let me know how you liked it. I personally thought it to heavy but hey I'm more of a comedian in real life. My mind however seems to have a different idea for the destination of this plot.
