The Crystal Council
Chapter 5
The Vaults and The Call
Hermione stood quietly at the center of the elevator with both goblins flanking her. Hylboirm was on her right and Klobtes was on her left. Both goblins still wary of Hermione and her anger. Hermione was trying to keep her anger under control and was fuming quiet as she ran through the prophecy in her head. She was the only one who could fit the description of the child of first and fae. However, her main concerns were with the kings of light and dark and the four knights and lovers. The kings were too obvious, Dumbledore and Voldemort both of which were going to be massive headaches and would make her Hogwarts years a living hell. The knight however would be a totally different beast. The first two were obvious and she was grateful that at least two of her best friends would be around to help her. The third knight was a complete mystery to her as to who it could be, and the last knight was completely out of the question. The fourth knight could only be Bellatrix and she refused to even allow the woman within stunning range much less into kissing range. Hermione let out an angry sigh the entire thing was bullshit she would have words with Viskara later but for now she had to focus on gathering as much information from these vaults and suppress any knowledge of her lineage for the time being. Hermione was pulled from her thoughts as the elevator came to a stop with a loud screeching noise. Hermione looked up and was surprised at how dark the area was despite the small light on the walls. The goblins had already gone ahead into the dark tunnel, so Hermione quickly cast a silent and wandless Lumos spell and began moving down the tunnel. The three came to a large cavern that contained two twenty-foot-tall doors. Hermione could feel the magic thrumming throughout the cavern, and she could feel both doors pulling at her as she moved to the center of the chamber. Hermione closed her eyes and felt as the magic flowed around her pushing and pulling at her the magic on her left was light and gentle like a slow river gently pulling toward an unknown destination. The magic on her right was heavy and wild tinged with darkness and more akin to a deep-water current pushing relentless towards its destination. It was overwhelming as Hermione closed her eyes and took a deep breath and for a single moment both magics harmonized before falling back into chaos. Hermione open her eyes and turned to the goblins who were both on their knees and staring at her with awe in their eyes. She ignored them and turned to the door on her left and walked until she stood directly in front of it. The door was made of flawless white marble that had a faint glow, a gold border rose from the floor of the door to the top before rainbowing out to the sides, rubies, sapphires, and emeralds were socketed in golden stars. Hermione felt as if she was staring at the night sky if it was possible to see the stars while the sun was out. The magic pulsing out from the door was stronger now but still just as gentle and held a sense dignified age. Hermione reached out and laid her hand upon the door and a massive pulse of magic that shook the earth and was felt around the world causing chaos in the street above particular in the potion shop resulting in a powerful explosion that destroyed several stores and multiple injuries. Hermione fell backwards as the door began to open light spilling out from inside as Hermione's Lumos vanished as did Hermione.
Hermione opened her eyes slowly still feeling her retinas burning from the sudden light that had erupted from the door. As her eyes adjusted, she found herself in a massive entrance hall made of the same white marble as the door. The room had high wall with three crystal chandlers hanging down from the ceiling. Directly in front of her was a fountain with a statue of Merlin with water coming from his wand. Behind the fountain was a large staircase leading to a second landing with three doors one was massive much like the door in the cavern with two smaller doors on the left and right. It was just after Hermione finished surveying the room a loud bang emanated followed by a crashing sound from the large door on the second floor causing Hermione to jump. A minute later an older wizard burst through the door looking rather ragged as if he had just come from battle. His cloak was scorched around the hem and his hair was frazzled. He was muttering under his breath and Hermione could only just make out what he was saying "A visitor now, really? Right in the middle of battle too, how rude." The one and only Merlin rose to his full six-foot-tall height waving his and upward as he rose. Magic filled the air as his robe repaired itself and his hair and beard cleaned and straightened and dust rising from him and disappearing. He opened his eyes finding Hermione's instantly and a warm smile formed on his face.
"Greetings young witch I can only assume that since you managed not only to ring my doorbell but actually get inside my sanctum, that you are my descendant." Spoke Merlin as he walked down the stairs
"Yes, I am… or at least I'm pretty sure I am." Squeaked out Hermione. Simply being in Merlin presence was overwhelming and Hermione could fell herself trembling.
"How wonderful! That means our plan worked." Said Merlin with a light chuckle "Now then, what's your name little one?"
"Hermione Granger, sir." Replied Hermione
"That's a good name, a strong name. Now then why did you come here" asked Merlin
"I have questions that need answers and maybe you can explain what is happening to me." Replied Hermione.
Hermione then proceeded to relay her story from when she fought Bellatrix to meeting Viskara to arriving in her new world to find out she was the descendant of both Morgan and himself and of the prophecy.
Merlin stroked his bread thoughtfully "That's quite the predicament you're in though not an unfamiliar one. Both Morgan and I had prophecies as well and ours are about to be fulfilled and as for Viskara… you could call him a family friend."
"Wait that means that you've met Viskara too?!" exclaimed Hermione
"Yes, I did and so did Morgan and he gave both of us powerful magic. I received the power to bend space and time to my will, Morgan received control over the natural world and all its creatures." Replied Merlin
"Wow that's amazing but it really doesn't help all that much does it? I mean you and Morgan got magic super powers but where does that leave me?" asked Hermione
"To be honest I'm not sure but I know one way to find out follow me." Replied Merlin as he headed towards the door to Hermione's left. Hermione quickly followed the old man who was surprisingly spry despite his age. Upon entering the corridor Hermione stopped dead in her tracks the hallway went on forever and she could see no end to it, doors lined both sides of the hallway. Hermione stood in awe of the complete impossibility of what she was seeing whereas Merlin was quickly moving towards one of the doors further down the hall. He stopped and looked back at Hermione and let out a small laugh at her awe-struck face.
"Hermione! Over here please." Merlin called
Hermione snapped out of her state and looked down to see Merlin waiting for her at one of the doors Hermione blushed lightly before running to meet Merlin at the door.
"How is this possible this hallway even exists? We are hundreds of meters under the earth and yet your vault stretches beyond reason. It should be impossible and yet…" Hermione trailed off
Merlin let out a loud laugh before replying "I'm surprised you can still use that word after experiencing what Viskara can do first hand."
"Just what is he capable of? How powerful is Viskara?" asked Hermione as Merlin pushed open the door.
"I have no idea. Viskara could be a god or simply a beyond powerful dragon that has lived for eons. What I do know it that he always has a reason for everything he does no matter how odd it may seem. He always has a plan even if we don't know what it is." Replied Merlin as he entered the room.
"So we're left to wander the world without his help until we come to a point where we need his help? Well that's absolute bullshit." Said Hermione as she followed Merlin into the room.
"I wouldn't say that, more often than not he gives gifts of power to those whom he chooses as his champions. For example, I was gifted the magic of space and time which allowed me to create this space we are in now. If want to feel free to explore while I try to find my tools." Replied Merlin as he began to rummage around the far side of the room
Hermione shook her head light still not fully believing what he had told her much less that everything around her was even real. Hermione closed her eyes and took a deep breath before opening them again. The room was circular with a table and chair in the middle and shelfs lining the walls. The shelfs held a variety of objects ranging from books to magical instruments and a thick layer of dust. Hermione decided to look through one of the shelfs containing books and after blowing dust off of the books and coughing from the sheer amount of dust she was surprised to find that the books had no titles on them. Randomly taking one off the shelf and opening it and found not words but equations filled each page of the book and with each equation becoming more complex as the book progressed. Hermione was entranced and could barely understand the math despite studding Arithmancy at Hogwarts even the advanced math she learned was noting compared to what was written in these pages, from what little she could gleam the equations hinted at the possibility of using time-space magic to bend reality. Hermione turned around to see Merlin gently picking an odd-looking instrument off one of the other shelfs and gently carrying it to the table in the center. Hermione was in awe of the man he had managed to write equations that made the most advanced Arithmancy look like simple math, she quietly closed the book and put back on the shelf. Hermione turned again to see Merlin cleaning the instrument with his wand.
"Merlin, I have a question about these books you have." asked Hermione
"Hm." Responded Merlin
"What is the purpose of those equations?" inquired Hermione
Merlin turned and looked up "Oh! Those are my attempts to share time magic with others. The problem being the spells are so complex to a normal wizard or witch that to master the most basic time manipulation spell would take roughly fifty thousand year give or take a few centuries." Replied Merlin "Not to mention the difficulty of special magic, combine the two and you get space-time magic which only I can use at the moment.
"Wow." Replied Hermione stunned by the revelation
Merlin smile and said, "Indeed but enough of that for now though its time to test your magic."
Hermione moved to join Merlin at the table and saw the strange contraption he had placed and cleaned. The bottom of the device was brass and had two distinct sides on the left was a dinner sized plate and on the right was a square holding bracket. The top half was gold on the left was a half egg shaped dome that could move to cover the plate and on the right a box with a large glass cube situated inside. The center of the device held a rod that glowed with an arcane energy.
"What is this device and what does it do?" asked Hermione
"This is my magic analyzer we can use it to determine magical heritage." Replied Merlin
"Why? We already know I'm your descendant what more could this test prove?" asked Hermione
"True but this test is slightly different. This test will tell us the composition of your magic and if you'll be able to use time magic or not." Responded Merlin
"Okay. What do you need me to do?" inquired Hermione
"Conjure something small like a glass or rock then place it on the plate." Replied Merlin
Hermione shrugged before casting a wandless Lumos. She guided the light to the plate causing the top half to snap down capturing the light. Merlin used his wand to tap the center pole and set it spinning into a circular motion. The machine began to hum as is spun faster and faster until it vaporized completely, and three orbs appeared in the glass cube. Merlin had a look surprise on his face as he got a closer look.
"Now this is unexpected and very interesting result it seems you have both my magical signature as well as Morgan's, however I've never seen one quite like this third one," said Merlin
"How odd is my magical signature?" asked Hermione
"Well most people only have a single orb, the lucky get two, you on the other hand have three and I only recognize two of those orbs." Replied Merlin
"Okay… What does that mean for me?" asked Hermione
"It means that not only do you have the affinity for space-time magic and Morgan's wild magic but a third unknown magic which I odd considering I've tested a lot of people with this machine and none of them have had this type of orb before." Replied Merlin
"So that means I have an affinity to a new type of magic?" asked Hermione
"That appears to be the case and while I would love to preform more tests, we have no time for that. I have a war to return too and you have a destiny to fulfill but, before I return to my own time, I have a few gifts for you." Replied Merlin as he began to leave the room
"Wait... why? What do you mean you have to return? Can't you just jump back a sec after you left?" asked Hermione as she followed him
"That only works if I don't move at all after the time transfer. Traveling through space-time is far more treacherous and require incredible skill to pull it off. By the time I get back to the fight anywhere from five to ten minutes will have passed" Replied Merlin
"I suppose time travel is fairly complicated and one misstep and your dead or lost in time." Mused Hermione
Merlin led Hermione back to the main hall up the stairs and through the giant doors. The room on the other side surprised Hermione with its simplicity it was circular and had three small enclaves in the back and each held a glowing portal. In the center of the area was a large desk with a large chair behind it. Merlin immediate went to the chair taking a seat and began rummaging through the drawers. He pulled out several items a coin pouch, a book, and a leather strap.
"Hermione, you are without a doubt my heir. This means you have access to my tower and library. I also have homes across the world as well as several artifact vaults, however as you are too young the age wards will prevent you from entering most of the artifact vaults. Therefore, I will give you these three trinkets until for the time being. First is this coin pouch which contains a portal directly to my galleon vault. Second is this book which will change as you read it, right now it is an introduction to using time-space magic. Finally, a wand holder that fits on your wrist and will hide your wand from others and allows for easy access as well." said Merlin
"You traveled through time to make your fortune, didn't you?" asked Hermione
"It was necessary, and I did it for you, with money comes influence and power." Replied Merlin
"While I can't deny the truth of that statement, I still dislike the idea. However, the other two I'm very interested in though I'll save the book for later." Said Hermione as she reached out to take the wand holder and strap it to her wrist.
"Indeed. Now it is time for both of us to leave. I assume you can return here whenever you wish?" asked Merlin
"Yes." Replied Hermione
"Very well return once you are able to cast a corporeal Patronus and I'll begin teaching you my portal spells and more advanced space-time magic." Stated Merlin as he rose from his seat and began moving towards the door. "Come I'll open the portal back to the front door."
Hermione nodded and grabbed the book and money pouch before following Merlin into the main hall where she found him opening a portal back into the cave where she could see the two goblins waiting for her to return.
"Right then I'll see you in a few years young Hermione until we meet again." Said Merlin holding out his hand.
"Thank you for everything Merlin. I may not have found all the answers I wanted but I got you and Morgan on my side now. See you soon." Responded Hermione after shaking his hand before jumping into the portal.
Hermione landed with a dull thud back in the cavern and caused both goblins to jump in surprise.
"Princess! What happened!?" asked Klobtes
"I met with Merlin. How long was I gone?" replied Hermione while smoothing the wrinkles in her shirt
"Less than a minute, you've been gone for less than a minute." Replied an astonished Hylboirm
Hermione let out a laugh "Of course I have, I suppose Merlin is just that powerful. However…" she turned to look at the other door and could feel the magic radiating more strongly from it than before.
"Hylboirm, would you please hold my book for me?" asked Hermione
"Of course, my Princess." Replied Hylboirm taking the booking from Hermione
Hermione let out a sigh before moving to the other door the magic grew stronger and wilder and felt like a combination of strong winds and rushing water flowing past her towards an unknown destination. Hermione stopped to examine the door and found the only door in existence that could rival Merlin's. The door was a deep royal purple and made from a wood Hermione could not determine. A massive tree was carved into the wood and showed the contrast between a bountiful living tree and the decaying branches of a dead one. The trunk of the tree had amethysts gems embedded into the wood moving upward into the branches spreading to diamonds on the living side and opals on the dead side. Hermione placed her hand on the door and one of her fingers touched one of the gems causing it to glow. Purple light began to spread from the gem she had touched to the others around it slowly at first but gained speed as the light rose up the tree. When the light reached the branches, it changed to a white and glowing black. Eventually the entire tree was glowing three separate colors and a large gem at the very top of the door which she had failed to notice before was also beginning to glow. The gem was glowing a rainbow of colors a slow pulse growing faster and faster until Hermione thought she could hear the light. Then the gem's light exploded send a wave of light through the cavern and into the world.
The magic spread quickly around the world touching every magical creature along the way. Every werewolf and unicorn stopped and looked skyward as a new age dawn for them. The wave passed over Hogwarts causing both the black lake and forbidden forest to come alive the giant squid and merfolk splashing and singing at the surface. The centaurs in the forest began to sing and shout as the felt the magic pass by even Hagrid having stubble from his hut stared skyward feeling hope welling up inside him. The wave continued waking every dragon some roaring others taking to the sky. The wave passed over a small uncharted island in the Atlantic Ocean causing the island's foundation to shake as it awoke from its long slumber and it began to move. The beings upon the isle also began to awaken from the slumber they had been placed in. The first were the small fairies followed by larger creatures such as griffons and unicorns to the largest like the dragon and chimera. The island was soon bustle with life as massive celebrations began marking the birth of a new princess. The light also passed by a certain mansion in the French countryside sending almost all the Veela were in a frenzy, those able to change were an those who couldn't were crying unable to fully comprehend what was happening to them. The only one who was immune to the effects of the light was Fleur Delacour, who despite the chaos going on around was calm. She could feel it deep inside her and her Veela was ecstatic about something, a strange powerful calm with a gentle tugging of her soul, she had a mate and that mate was strong and every Veela knew that now and were celebrating.
Hermione felt a sudden pull on her heart as the light faded from the door's gem. Hermione attempted to turn and speak with the goblins but found her hand stuck to the door and slowly being pulled into the door. It pulled her hand through first then her arm and eventually Hermione was pulled completely through the door and found herself in a long dark cavern. Despite the darkness in the cave was diminished by the presence of small lights that floated along the walls as if trying to guide her deeper into the tunnel. Hermione still a little shocked from having just passed through a door gladly followed the flashing lights. Hermione recovered quickly from the shock and noticed that the lights were actually glow bugs moving along the passages walls towards some unknown destination as if trying to guide her towards it. Hermione's instincts kicked in at full force rapidly clearing away the remaining fog left in her mind. She snapped into a hyper aware state as she noticed a strong glow coming from the end of the tunnel, she slowly moved forward hoping that a trap wasn't waiting for her at the end. Hermione made her way to the end of the tunnel and emerged into a stunning underground garden. The first thing she noticed was the small stream flowing through the middle of the cave surrounded on both side with a glowing moss with the occasional fungus poking through. Small insects floated through the air each a pure white having adapted to living in the darkness of a cave. When she looked up she saw beautiful yellow flowers raining down glowing spores. The entire thing was breathtaking and when she saw the giant flower at the back of the cave nestled between a set of stairs leading to s series of doors, she felt her jaw drop. The flower was absolutely gorgeous the petals had purple backs and were pink on the inside and in the center was a beautiful young woman made from a strange smooth plant material. She wore a dress made of leaves and had thin vines for hair, her eyes were closed, and arms crossed over her chest with her head lifted high as if searching for the sun. Hermione was entranced by the woman and felt a small breeze push her into the room causing her to stumble into the underground garden. Hermione's footsteps squelched upon the moss as she caught herself mid fall, she righted herself quickly and began the carful journey across wet moss cover stone towards the river. When she reached it she realized that wading through the water would soak both her shoes and socks therefore she simply removed them. When Hermione's bare feet touched the rocks, she suddenly felt different, lighter and freer that ever before as if the earth had taken all her burden. She could also feel a deep vibration run through the stone and dirt it pulsed consistently. Hermione felt as if she could fell the entire earth breathing beneath her and it was incredibly comforting to Hermione as her stress melted with the beat of the earth. She stepped forward into the river expecting it to be freezing but to her delight it was slightly cool, Hermione sighed she wanted to submerge herself in the cool water and just let the world float away. It was a voice that pulled her out of her trance like state.
"Greetings, Child of Morgan." Spoke the voice
Hermione's eyes snapped open and she found the eyes of the plant woman. Her eyes were a light orange and held an odd kindness that Hermione couldn't quite place.
"Hello…?" inquired Hermione
"You are the lost heir of Morgan and you have awoken me." Replied the plant woman
"Okay and you are…? Asked Hermione cautiously
"The name I was given is Illylia." Replied Illylia
"And what are you exactly?" asked Hermione
"I am a child of Morgan the youngest of ten." Replied Illylia
"Why are you here?" asked Hermione as she began to relax again.
"I was placed here to wait for you, heir of Morgan." Replied Illylia
"Morgan made you but how? You look like a human crossed with a plant." Asked Hermione
"We are chimeras made from different magical creatures I, myself am made from a dryad, fairy, and magical beetle. We also carry the blood of Morgan within us." Replied Illylia
"That means you are guarding something it the only reason you would be here." Stated Hermione
"Correct, Morgan wanted to help you in any way she could, therefore she left several items in the rooms behind me for you to use. In fact, you're even looking at the first one." Replied Illylia with a smile on her face
"Wait you mean that YOU are one of my gifts from Morgan?!" exclaimed Hermione
"Yes. My purpose is to assist you in any way possible as such before I send you to get the last one, Give me your spellcasting hand please." Said Illylia as she held out a ring
Hermione stretched out her right hand and Illylia placed a black-sliver ring on her middle finger. The main part of the ring was black with a silver M made of sliver and shaped like fangs or claws. The ring began to glow before shrinking to fit her finger and Hermione felt it pulse with wild magic.
"With that ring all magical creatures must recognize you as Morgan's heir, however, do not think this give you authority over them, you are still too young and have much to learn about the world of magical creatures." Warned Illylia
"You might be surprised about how much I know about what is to come however, you are right about learning about the workings of magical creature hierarchy, but I'll do my best." Replied Hermione
"Good. If you ever need to contact me place you right hand upon earth and whisper my name and I will answer. Now go Morgan's final gift waits for you use the door above me and please be careful." Informed Illylia
"Thank you Illylia. I'll take your words to heart." Replied Hermione as she turned to walk up the stairs and opened the door.
Hermione found herself standing in a stone-grey room with blue light hanging down from the ceiling. The room was barren except for a simple stone pedestal holding what could only be a wand. Hermione moved to get a better look and the door snapped shut behind her causing her to jump slightly. Hermione took a deep breath to calm her self before moving towards the wand and found that as she did so the lights above her changed from blue to purple. The lights also began to center on the pedestal the closer Hermione go to it. Hermione was almost at the pedestal when an image appeared in front of her. It was the head of a woman in her late thirties or early forties and she was beautiful though it was hard to tell due to the quality of the light. She had sharp features with high cheek bones, her eyes and hair were both a dark color though Hermione couldn't tell what color they were. It was when a voice that sounded distorted yet feminine did Hermione realize what she was looking at, a magical recording or Morgan Le Fay.
"Greetings my young heir, Hermione and while I know you must have many questions this is not the time for that. With your appearance in the world a new war begins, Merlin was always to lax in his preparation and I've had to pick up his slack. Regardless I will save the details for later and for now I will tell you about the wand sitting in front of you. I made it myself took over a century I grew the elderberry tree from a seed. I then traveled the world to find the best wand cores I could, and I found three. The first is a unicorn hair from the matriarch in France, the second a phoenix feather from an old friend in America, and third a dragon heartstring from an ancient beast that dwelled deep in the Himalayan mountains. I took the wood from the trunk of the tree ensuring no one else could use the wood to make another wand. I carved the wood slowly using no magic keeping the wand untainted by other magic. When I finally finished it I placed it here never having used it. The wand is yours now use it well and be careful its untested." The voice faded as did the image leaving behind an oppressive silence.
Hermione stared at the wand on the pedestal wonder if it was a good idea to take it. The wand was an off-white color similar to porcelain the wand had designs from top to bottom. From the tip of the want to the top of the handle vines wove their way down and the handle had a root system carved out of the wood making for a strong grip. Hermione was both curious and cautious if Morgan had really made this wand the way she said she did it should be the most powerful wand in existence even stronger than the elder wand Dumbledore possessed. The idea of having such a powerful tool at her disposal was tempting but Hermione knew the risks that might come with a temperamental wand. However, Hermione knew that she would need the wand eventually after all she had a war to fight and having a weapon like this at her disposal would be advantageous. Hermione made up her mind she would take and use the wand and so she picked up the wand and braced for the worst.
…
…
…
Hermione felt nothing the wand was unresponsive or dead or never worked in the first place. She waved the wand around hoping to get some reaction out of the wand. Once again nothing Hermione frowned and wondered if a spell might awaken the wand. She waved the wand and called out "Lumos" and while nothing happened Hermione could feel a spark of life within the wand. Hermione tried casting the spell again this time the tip of the wand lit up and she could feel the wand pulse with magic. Hermione continued to cast until the wand could produce a strong light and magic flowed freely through the wand again. However, the wand was clearly still not at the level it should be and made a mental note to continue practicing with the wand and hope that it would continue to improve. Hermione rolled up her sleeve and placed the wand into the wrist wand holder Merlin had given her. Hermione turned and left the room returning to Illylia
"I'm back Illylia and I found Morgan's final gift." Spoke Hermione
"Ah Hermione. It seems you were able to overcome any challenges Morgan left for you." Replied Illylia
"Not really it seems she only left me a message and a wand." Replied Hermione
"A message and wand you say?" pondered Illylia before her eyes snapped open "Wait… She gave you the wand now?! But it still too early and you're too young?! That wand will overwhelm you." Exclaimed Illylia
"I doubt it the wand was dead when I found it and I had to cast a few spells for it to even act as a normal wand but, at the same time I can feel its staggering potential it just needs time to awaken, much like myself it seem." Explained Hermione
"I see…" replied Illylia
"It seems that my fate and the fate of this wand are bound and so we must grow together." Hermione said
"Indeed… I suppose it is time for you to leave. Return the way you came when you come to the wall place your ring hand upon it and the way shall open. Good luck Hermione." Illylia said
"Thanks, Illylia. I'll be sure to check up on you from time to time." Replied Hermione as she turned and crossed the stream and into the tunnel she had emerged from. Upon reaching the end she placed her right hand on the dirt wall, which shifted forming an archway out. Hermione could see the two goblins waiting for her and smile crept up on her face. Hermione knew the task before her was insurmountable on her own she would need friends and allies and she knew that these two goblins were the beginning of a movement that would shake the world.
Note: Merlin died at age 1009 and Morgan died at age 1578. Morgan died roughly 10,000 years before this story takes place. Both Merlin and Morgan were born in the same year and Morgan outlived Merlin.
I won't apologize for how long it took me to get this out. I've had writers block and far too many damned distractions in my life. It should also go without saying but all errors are mine. However, I refuse to let this story die before I'm done with it. All that being said, time for reviews responses!
BluTiger13: I'm glad you like the story so far. This Chapter is a bit later than I would have liked but I hope you will still enjoy it.
Kaoru Takeda: Indeed, but it's not just Merlin but Morgan too both halves will play an important role in her future development as a character in this story.
omaribacache316: I will do my best. Thanks for the encouragement 😊
kpop1392as: I like Amy too and intend to have a lot of fun with her in future chapters. One of the kings already knows of her and the other will upon his return both will have the same goal of trying to turn her and if that should fail well… it won't be pretty.
xefan: Trust me when I say the bad-assery has only just begun and will get better.
Serenity: I'm glad you like it. As for the goblins let's just say I'll be bringing in a whole lot more of them later in the story.
DschingisKhan: Thank you again your review was invaluable and has help me grow as a writer. You may consider this chapter as a dedication to you.
ZoELuTaR: Glad you like. Here's the new chapter.
PeaPrince: She is not a dragon, however through her connection with Viskara she can use his draconic magic though this magic will generally drain her much faster than human maigc.
