Chapter 2: The Dark Queen's Apprentice.
( Eostia, Dark Fortress)
Now in a guest room, Harry twisted and turned in his sleep as he was starting to stir, his eyes started to open up. His vision was coming back as he took notice of his surroundings, he is in some room as he looked around wondering where was he?
He noticed his injuries are gone, how? How did his injuries go away?.
"Where am I...?" The seven year old asked, he wasn't in his relatives house anymore. As he could tell.
Echidna who cracked opened the door saw Harry awake as she went to go inform her Queen that the boy is awake.
For the next 30 seconds Origa had appeared in the room with Chloe at her side along with Miria as Harry looked startled seeing the women.
He looked at them. They had long ears, and are dark skinned. Were they human? As he looked at Olga, Chloe, Miria and Echidna. Giving them a nervous glance.
"My Queen he's terrified of us?" Said Miria who looked concerned and noticed Harry's body language. Even Chloe recognized that, as she thought back on her terrible past.
"I'm well aware of that." Olga would say as she walked towards the child who flinched slightly and was nervous of her.
"Please don't hurt me." Harry says in a scared voice which threw them off.
"He's really scared of us?" Thought Chloe, Miria and Echidna.
Olga seeing this. Stared at him, he thinks she's going to attack him, well she's going to prove him wrong.
"I mean you no harm Harry Potter." She would say as he looked up shocked that she knows his name.
"I am guessing you want to know where you are perhaps?" She asks with him focusing on Olga.
"You are in another world my young human friend." She says with him blinking.
Another world? How is that possible? He's not in England anymore? Well at least he's away from his relatives.
"Where am I then Miss..?" He said with her raising a brow.
"Where are my manners? You do not know my name? I am Olga Discordia, Dark Elf Queen of Eostia. And these women behind me are my maidens and Warriors." She would say beckoning them to come and see the boy.
"Ladies introduce yourselves." Olga says
"My name is Chloe..." Chloe would start first
"I am Miria." Miria would introduce herself
"And I am Echidna. Nice meeting you kid." She says with her snake coiled around her.
"Nice meeting all of you. I am Harry Potter." He greeted.
"Now that we know each other you will see the rest of my court. You are living with us now, this guest room will be yours, we will get you clothes and such, your bath is being prepared by my maid Grace. Along with a meal." She would say as she nodded to Echidna to take the boy to Grace to give him a bath.
( Harry's POV)
These women that he's surrounded by, they are called dark elves, they seemed nice to him and they did not wish to harm him yet are showing him kindness. Kindness that he has never received from his relatives who would look down on him and belittle him.
He was starting to actually trust these dark elves who just maybe his new family. And since he's in a whole different world that he has no knowledge about. He's going to start anew with his life here. These girls don't seem to think of him as a freak like how his Relatives always say.
As he was being led to the bathroom to receive his bath.
He spotted another dark elf woman and her name is Grace Campbell she wasn't the warrior type but kind of the maid type. She helped him discard his clothes and got him In the bath tub to get all nice and clean.
Maybe living here in a castle with dark elves won't be so bad. This could be a new start of his life.
And so on. After his bath, he was escorted to dinner by Grace and Echidna.
Now at the table with the other dark elves including Olga who was at the end of the table eating her food looking at Harry.
( Olga's POV)
She watched the boy, her amber eyes focused on him, Tomorrow she's going to show him around the castle and maybe ask if he was interested in learning magic. Since she is after all a powerful dark sorceress with lots of magical knowledge to teach the boy, she can mold him as her apprentice in the dark arts of magic.
After looking at his memories she knows he could be Mage material.
The monsters she'll keep him away from.
When could she start his magically training?
It would be too soon to train him early, maybe at age 12 or 11 would be a good start.
Half hour later after he had dinner with them, she sent him to bed, she promised him to show him around the castle.
( 4 years later)
An 11-year-old Harry Potter is now walking around the castle. Having spent four years of his life living here in which he liked.
He formed good relationships with the Elves that live in the castle.
Olga is his mentor and surrogate mother. She and the other dark elves raised Harry Potter, teaching him on to read, count, speak elf language and whatnot.
Right now the boy is sitting in the hall. He noticed Echidna's snake wandering around.
"What are you doing here?" Harry asked the snake which raised its head and looked at him.
"The mistress is taking a bath, what are you doing?" Keltan says which surprised Harry.
"You can understand me?" harry asks with the snake nodding.
"Of course I can, master potter. Even since you lived here I could understand you. My mistress or her queen are not aware of that." Keltan spoke
Harry was stunned, he didn't know he could talk to snakes.
"Kinda wish I had a snake for a friend." He says with keltan looking at him and then smiled.
"Perhaps I could help you with that." he says with Harry looking at him.
"Really?" harry replied.
"Sure. Come follow me, I may have a way to help you have a snake friend." Keltan says leading Harry to the kitchen.
"Why are we here at the kitchen? Harry asks with the snake turning to him.
"To get a chicken egg." the snake replied as Harry looked confused
"Why a chicken egg?" the boy asked confused still.
You desire a snake companion do you? I am helping you make one. You will have to hatch it. I will capture a toad while you hold the egg." The snake says as he slithered off to go outside the castle to find a toad and capture it while Harry goes to take a Chicken egg from the kitchen.
7 minutes later.
The snake brought the toad captured in its coils.
"So explain why we need a Toad?" Harry asks
"This is an uncanny way to hatch the most powerful snake of all snakes, sit the toad on the egg then we speak in snake language as an incantation let's go to your room." keltan as harry followed and held both toad and chicken egg.
( Harry's Room)
Now in the room both are alone.
"What's the next step?" He asks
"The toad must be placed on the egg." He replied
"How long will this take?"
"Most of the night. We shall sing when you need rest, but you must keep the toad in place." keltan says
Harry carefully took the squirming toad and placed it on the now-warming chicken egg. He held it there between his fingers, as He spoke little of the snake language as Keltan helped him chant.
The process took hours.
Echidna is looking for her snake and noticed he was not around. She normally wears him as ( Underwear) she is currently wearing a thong at the moment until she wears him.
Olga noticed Harry was not around either. As her Chloe and Echidna went to his room.
Olga being the first cracked open the door slightly as she eyed Harry holding a toad and talking like a snake.
"There he is-" Echida says but Olga snapped at her.
"Quiet!" Olga hissed wanting to see what Harry is doing, amazed that Harry can talk to snakes.
The chicken egg shivered beneath the toad. Harry blinked, as Keltan chanted frantically.
"What's happening Olga-sama?" Chloe asked
"I do not know but I'm interested." Her Queen replied
"Sing! Sing to it so it could recognize you!" Keltan says as Harry started singing. The previously dead chicken egg, impossibly, began to shiver again and twitched beneath the toad and his fingers.
They kept up the song for five more minutes when the egg cracked from the inside. Keltan went silent as Harry watched. Not unaware Olga, Chloe and Echidna were watching, a small, Black snout jabbed out of the egg. It was followed by a long, lithe body, covered in ebony scales, as it opened its Deep amber eyes which glowed slightly.
Olga widened her eyes as she began to realize what Snake Harry had created.
Harry moved to take the toad off of the broken egg and the amber eyes snapped towards him. He felt a shiver run down his spine as the eyes met his own—as if his body was warning him that it was unsafe. The infant snake hissed, too young to speak its language, but Harry interpreted the hiss as displeasure.
"Feed it, it must eat the toad." keltan added.
He felt a little bad for the toad, but Harry offered the amphibian to the newly-hatched serpent. The snake eyed it greedily, then lashed out. It didn't bite Harry, but he was surprised by the ferocity such a small and young creature possessed.
Devouring the toad took just a few minutes, and then the snake flicked its tongue out and assessed its surroundings once again. Harry hissed to it in the serpent's language.
"He hatched a Basilisk..." Olga said in utter shock as Harry turned around and saw Olga and Chloe and Echidna as Keltan flinched at his master's glare.
"Olga how long where you there?" he asked.
"For awhile... I'm quite impressed with what I saw. You hatched your basilisk." she says
"That's a basilisk?." He says.
"Yes and since you hatched it. You are its Master. It will obey you. It's an infant right now and will probably want more food." Olga says as harry watched the snake he hatched coiled itself resting.
"Come Harry. It's time you learn some magic since it's your first time in hatching a very powerful creature." She would say taking his hand and lead him to her lab.
( Olga's lab)
Now in her lab with countless books, potions, and whatnot.
(An: Picture it like the Archmage's lab from winter hold in Skyrim.)
Harry glanced around and looked at everything.
"Now. Harry. I've got a question for you? How would you like to be my apprentice? Want to learn how to use magic?" she asks as he nodded.
"Of course I want to learn." He says as a small smile played on her face.
"Then let's get started." She says
To be continued
