The Xarkian Epic

Chapter 6: The Falling Of The Curtain

Sunday, January 4th, 2026

Waking up in her officer quarters, Delphini got her uniform on for her mission she was to conduct. Xarius had assigned her and her squad to the mission to kidnap important American pure-blood family heads for the rally on the 7th.

Afterwards she got ready and had breakfast, she and her squad got ready for the day in their uniforms and armor. Delphini and two squad members were witches those two wore black waffenrock jackets that had blue lining and collars with a silver wing on each collar with silver epaulets and with the usual skin-tight body glove, underneath the uniform which replaced the function of underwear.

Along with black tights and rubber military high boots. And they're Ebony wands crafted by Xarius himself for them. Delphini wore a similar but newer uniform comprised of the usual body glove but with a black greatcoat with blue lining with the insignia of an Augury surrounded by blue on the jacket in the area over her heart she also had a pair of tight black dress pants with black leather high-heeled jackboots.

While the other ten members of the squad were No-Majs Xarius personally trained for the squad. They only wore the body glove until they said the phrase "Armor On" and then the armor given to a specific squad member would fly onto them covering them in the armor which this particular squad had their helmets look like Augury heads to intimidate their enemies. They then grabbed their Maj Guns, and they set off to do their patrols of the perimeter of the base.

In the afternoon while patrolling the mountains around the base they found three MACUSA Aurors outside spying on the base who they quickly stunned, apprehended, and imprisoned in the brig to later be processed for spying on the base. At 9:00 PM they got a transmission from Xarius saying it was time to board their squads personal M.A.T. (Magical. Aerial. Transport) known as the Augury's wings which they then boarded it and it took off.

During the flight, Xarius discussed the plan with them through a hologram from the projector on the table in the central cabin of the M.A.T. "Your mission is to capture the patriarchs of all the pure-blood families except the blood traitors in preparation for the rally on the seventh this Saturday, you are to do this with stealth as to not attract unwanted attention from the ministry do you understand," said the Hologram Of Xarius.

"Yes, Black Phoenix," said the entire squad including Delphini who was the commander and her and the rest of the witches were wearing a full-body black nano polymer stealth suit with invisibility capabilities. While the rest of the squad had silenced Maj Guns and were wearing black stealth armor which was of a lighter build than the normal armor they wore alone with night vision capabilities.

They then arrived at the first destination, Wampclaw manor. They then quietly left the M.A.T. at a nearby overlook, and they transfigured all the male guards into tiny objects they then stored them away for future processing while they quietly stunned the female guards. The squad climbed into the master bedroom from the outside wall and went in through the window where they found Samuel Wampclaw asleep in his bed. Delphini pointed her wand at him and said "undressio" which caused all his clothes and his underwear to fly off into a nearby corner.

"Now force him awake" commanded Delphini to the witches who started pointing their wands at him and said "Crucio" together at him which made him wake up screaming and spasming in pain. "WHO ARE YOU WHAT ARE YOU DOING HERE AND WHY AM I NAK-," Before he could finish Delphini said "Bongarrio" which then restraints began leaving her wand and began tying around his limbs and gagging his mouth.

"You are going to serve a greater purpose in the future," Delphini said to him before ordering her squad to load him into the brig cabin of their M.A.T. They then loaded up into the M.A.T and then headed for their next target which was the Blackthorn family estate.

They arrived and landed in the woods nearby they then crept up to the estate's edge. Once they got to the edge they climbed up the wall of the estate and sneaked in. There they made it to the main mansion and climbed into the master bedroom from the outside wall and found Darius Blackthorn enjoying the time he had while his wife was away. "Stupefy," said Delphini and Miranda together as they pointed their wands at them which stunned Darius and his hot female accomplice and found no need to undress them as they were both already naked. They then did the same as before and bonded both of them and took them back to the M.A.T. The next 10 targets were as easy as the first two were.

They captured more male guards, heads of pure-blood families, and more concubines from affairs they had the misfortune to come upon. Soaring above the country in the M.A.T. they approached the last target, target 13 # Piquery Mansion. The squad observed the mansion from the M.A.T. before they landed. "Ah fuck that place is closed as tight as Fort Knox," said Miranda.

"Well no shit Miranda, but we have to capture the target, so we can't just quit even if we had a choice," said Diana. "Commander what should we do," said one of the soldiers. Delphini nodded then replied with a smile, "I have a plan it's risky but I think it will work" said Delphini confidently to her squad. "What's the plan Commander". Said the squad as one.

"My plan is for us to split up, Miranda and Diana you will lead eight of our troops and attack and surround the guards to create a distraction, while me and 2 of us, sneak in, and capture Johnathon Piquery is that understood squad."

Said Delphini with a stern stare of authority and confidence. The squad replied with a resounding "Yes Augury" they then enacted the plan. Delphini and her two troops quietly sneaked in from the back and climbed the wall into the master bedroom window and found it empty.

They decided to look in the bathroom where they found Jonathon in the shower. "Stupefy" yelled Delphini, and she stunned him before casting Bongarrio on him which tied him up. Delphini then with her two soldiers who were carrying Johnathon left to find Miranda and Diana who they found had not only defeated the guards but also undressed and bonded all the female and male guards for future processing.

"Well squad great job let's take them all back to Castle Blackfire for preparation for the Rally this Saturday," said Delphini triumphantly before they boarded the M.A.T. to go back to Castle Blackfire.

For a while, they saw the beauty of the world below as they started their descent to the castle they received a transmission from base command. "Auguries fist this is communications command the Black Phoenix himself has personally requested your landing at the courtyard for your commanders Solaris transcendentiam." All around her Delphini saw the look of equal surprise and pride on her squad's faces.

She heard some of the whispered rumors around her. They landed on the courtyard to see it lined with many banners with the usual Black Phoneix on it. After they got out the M.A.T. she noticed the large gathering of soldiers in the courtyard. And in particular, the large columns of the same blue glowing heavily armored warriors with wings sticking out of the backs their armor all lined up in military formation across the vast courtyard. She noticed they were carrying spears with blue glowing silver blades on the end. She approached the end of the courtyard where she saw Xarius and Circe beside a large raised obsidian which appeared to be glowing blue on the top. Delphini and her squad

They arrived at Xarius position. "Welcome Auguries Fist your commander has shown utmost loyalty and service towards me. Even so far as to put aside her past believes in my name. Now she is to be rewarded with the highest honor I can bestow upon one in my service."

Xarius said with a proud smile on his face. "Now Delphini I need you to undress for the ceremony," Xarius said with a disturbingly straight face of authority. Raising a questioning eyebrow at Xarius, Xarius saw this and answered her questioning look. "I assure you it is necessary for your ascension to one of my Solarchs," he said with a consoling smile on his face. She nodded before complying with his orders. She then waited for Xarius's next instructions. "Now step onto the platform so the ritual can begin."

Delphini complied and stepped onto the platform with a confused face. Xarius then pressed his wand and started chanting the binding words and at this as Delphini looked out into the crowd she saw the heavily armored warriors take off their helmets revealing they all had eyes which glowed blue iris. And behind her, Delphini saw Circe take off her own helmet and what she saw shocked her. Underneath she saw a woman with flowing black hair and blue glowing green eyes along with the scar on her forehead before she could ponder the implications of this Xarius started the binding incantation of the ritual.

"Magicae vires et Senex de Apollo autem nova lux mea invocabo: Ares tria Furor Promethus ignis, Aphrodites Medicamina faciei femineae Herculis Virtus tenebris inferni ascendere, et mortale Coram me. In ignem æternum renascentis plus illa fuerit, quam uno mei Solarchs." At this blue fire spiraled around Delphini, and she felt her face grow avian features and black feathers sprouted all over her body.

And she felt a feathered tail form on her body. Then she felt her skin become dry grow black feathers like. And sharp talons grow from her hands and feet. And she felt her body grow taller and more muscular until reaching 6,8 ft in height until finally sprouting a pair of large black feathered wings on her back. At the end of the transformation she let out a loud eagle cry and her body erupted blue fire around her entire body.

She then saw with her now more focused and better eyes she saw "Circe" and the rest of the towering heavily armored soldiers transform their own forms under their armor into similar forms to hers judging just by looking at their heads sticking out of their armor. After this, she changed back to her human form before Xarius faced the rally before them.

"This is how I reward loyalty and service to me. Through loyalty and diligence she has ascended through my power into one of my Solarchs she shall have her own legion of my Phoenix Guard and will be their gene mother. I see that you all look to her example." He then paused before yelling loudly across the entire courtyard in a fiery and determined tone."FOR THE GREATER GOOD."

At this, his army returned the same catchphrase he took from his predecessor. "FOR THE GREATER GOOD." Xarius looked to them one last time before leaving. "Now you are all dismissed remember tonight is movie night we have three options Dune (1984), Star Wars: A New Hope, and The Lord of The Rings: The Fellowship of The Ring. You will all get to vote using your personal Arcanet devices in your quarters and I hope to see you at the theater complex tonight. Delphini seeing everyone leave couldn't help but stare in shock and wonder at Circe who she realized no doubt was Harry Potter but whether she was the real Harry Potter was a question that tortured her.

Tuesday, January 6th, 2026

Harry woke up in the mansion in the Tribeca neighborhood they had gained from MACUSA for their mission and saw a Thunderbird Times article left on the nightstand by the bed by the owl earlier.

Breaking News: The 13 Patriarchs of the five most Ancient and Noble Houses in the country have disappeared.

This morning the house of elve and family members of the 13 most ancient and noble houses in the country went to the head of their families bedchambers to scream upon finding they're master completely vanished.

The Department of Magical Law Enforcement has been baffled by the disappearance of not only the patriarchs but also the families bodyguards as well along with the ones that have disappeared having no memory of the night of January 4th suggesting obliviation. They have been trying desperately to find them to no avail.

"This is the most troubling news in our community since the era of Gellert Grindelwald many years ago. But do not fear the Ministry has this perfectly under control." Commented Minister Uriel Thunderbird on the situation. This reporter can't help but wonder does the ministry really have the situation or is this the rise of a new threat to the Ministry considering the disappearance.

Signed Diana Cottontongue of the Thunderbird Times.

As Harry read the article he couldn't help but realize the past four days have shown only bad news for him and his friends. Not only did the Thunderbird Times report on the morning after their visit, that the owner of Blackfire wands disappeared the night after they visited him. But they also heard on the 5th of the disappearance of the patriarchs of the 13 most ancient and noble houses in America along with a great number of their bodyguards. Harry went downstairs to the dining room where Ron and Draco were eating some oatmeal.

"Hey, Harry good morning. So you heard the news then." Ron said to Harry with a slight smile. "Yeah, everything has gone to shit. And we've only been here three days." Draco said angrily with clenched teeth. "Yeah I'd have to agree with Draco's assumption of the situation Ron this has gotten much, much worse than before. I mean how are we going to handle this.

Not only has the person who was our source for the rally disappeared without a trace but the patriarchs of the 13 most ancient noble houses in the country have disappeared as well along with a great number of their bodyguards." The Draco and Ron looked shocked upon hearing the news. "Now that's a problem," said Ron loudly in shock.

"Well, for now, let's look around the city to see if we can find more information on this Black Phoenix. They then gathered their dirty dishes and cast a charm to make the dishes be brushed autonomously through magic, before heading out the door.

Harry, Ron, and Draco were looking around Sayre quarter asking people about the Black Phoenix when Harry saw someone interesting nearby the center of the magically hidden quarter. It was a woman, a beautiful woman with long black hair, green eyes, and mocha-colored skin. She looked at him and blushed before giggling.

She then walked over to him after putting the book she was reading in her purse. The woman then walked over to him with a smile on her beautiful features. Before coming in front of him and greeting him, "I saw you looking at me and I couldn't help but see your looking for something perhaps I may assist," She said in the most beautiful and sultry voice Harry ever heard in his life.

"Ow um of course," Harry said in a state of shock as if he was her beauty. "Oh I almost forgot my name is Raina, and judging by the scar on your head I'm guessing your Harry Potter," She said with a smile. "Well uh yes I am Harry Potter," Harry said slowly with an awkward tone of voice. "Well then what are you looking for," she said with a smile.

Saturday, January 10th 2026

Harry, Ron, Raina, and Draco with Raina's help had finally found the location of the meeting of the Black Phoenix's followers and people interested in his message. That night they went to the large warehouse in heavy fall and winter clothing to make sure they were not easily noticed where the meeting was being held. A large and obese man was guarding the entrance into the warehouse with a stern face. They approached the man. He simply said "Invitation" when they approached him. Harry then pulled out the flier they got from Erebus.

"Here's our invitation," Harry then handed the man the invitation. The man then smiled and said "Welcome brothers and sister for you are about to hear the truth." He then moved out of the door way, and they entered the warehouse to find it was packed with hundreds of people in casual and run down clothes which Harry though were muggleborns, half-bloods, and half-breeds who he notice were all looking at the stage at the back of the warehouse patiently.

The four of them saw the banners with the same black bird surrounded by blue fire were hanging from the back of the stage and along the sides of the ceiling of the large warehouse. The crowd then began to applaud when Harry saw a large elevator rising from the center of the stage on it were 15 figures the one in the very front of group was a man wearing black dress pants, black slip-ons, a blue tie, a black suit, and a very fancy open black wool overcoat.

The man had very handsome features although Harry guessed the man was around his age. He had full black hair in a short ducktail style along with a black goatee. Along with slightly glowing blue eyes. The two figures who were closest to him were both feminine and wearing what appeared to be heavy metal armor with a avian shaped helmets yet when he saw them walk closer to the man they were moving like they weren't wearing any armor as they were walking normally.

They both had wands and also carried blue glowing silver swords. There was a slight difference between the two as the first one nearest to the man was wearing pitch-black colored armor with red glowing helmet lenses on a phoenix head shaped helmet, with a black wolfs head with red eyes with a Latin 1 on the side of the wolfs head which was on the left side of her chest The emblem was surrounded by a dark gray border which separated the emblem from the black color of the rest of the armor while having the black phoenix symbol on the top of both her shoulder plates and had black wings sprouting from the back of her armor.

The other feminine figure near the man wore dark gray armor with black and green Celtic paint patterns on the Augury head shaped helmet. She also had emblem on the left side of her but it was a Augury with the Latin number 2 on it and it was surrounded by black to separate the emblem from the other colors of the armor. She also had the same black phoenix symbols on her shoulder plates.

Along with having Grey colored wings sprouting from of the back of her armor. Harry knew the one with the Augury shaped armor was Delphini recalling the name she gave herself. Both of the figures were also very tall. The last figures all appeared to be wearing advanced muggle body armor painted black with full head cover helmets. Then the tall man in the front walked to the front of the stage and got his wand out and pushed it to the side of his neck. Then he began his speech, "Welcome everyone to this event, this gathering of people like us. You have accepted our invitation because you seek the truth. And I am here to tell it to you."

He then paused and looked straight out into the crowd with a look of honesty and desperation. "My friends our kind has hidden from the world for too long. Once there was a time when the magical and the non-magical would work together in unison during the long-gone days of Rome. But when Rome fell our worlds separated from xenophobia and bigotry towards our kind."

"But that is leading us on the path to destruction for both worlds. As the No-Majs, The Muggles, The can't spells are dying and ruining the world with their pollution and sickness they spread. While our own demise is coming as our people will shrivel away from years of inbreeding until we are infertile and all our blood is spent on it."

"The only way to prevent this is to unite both worlds where our kind and their kind can use the others gifts to save both worlds and bring unity to mankind, so we can prosper in a new golden where all can prosper from science and magic alike. And now I will show you what will become of those who seek against this path we must take to save the world."

He then gestured to his soldiers who then pressed a button on their belt and disappeared only to reappear later with 13 men harry recognized as the 13 family heads who disappeared with some of their bodyguards. They then forced them on their knees and bound them. Xarius look at them then turned to the crowd. "These heads of pure-blooded society are the reason why our worlds can't work together and prosper for they even persecute our kind who come from our No-Maj brothers and sisters its time they pay their debts."

Xarius said before walking in front of them and pulling out his wand before pointing it at the 13 men and yelled "Mutatio Phoenix" then the 13 men screamed in agony as they slowly and painfully changed into black phoenix's.

The crowd then cheered fanatically to Harry and the teams scared and worried faces. Harry couldn't believe that the people in the crowd had been treated that badly that they actually cheer at seeing pure-bloods suffer. Xarius then turned to them again with a fiery and fanatic look on his face.

"This what the wicked get for their crimes against the weak and those who deserved love and only got hate and xenophobia for it. The man then stepped to the front of the stage and put the wand to his throat again."

"I think many of you already guessed this, but I am the Black Phoenix. I am the one who will bring order to this unbalanced world. So no one can suffer the fate my parents got," He then turned to the crowd and began telling his life story. My real name is Xarius Blackfire, I was born in the town christened with Cincinnatus' name in a state between the west and the east alike. My parents were average people.

"My mother was a No-Maj women named Betty who was a successful professor at the University in the City. My father was a pure-blood man named Aries Blackfire," Then the crowd started booing at the mention of the Blackfire family. Xarius then calmed them with a look of understanding and a sympathetic smile.

"Yes my father was a member of that dreaded family but he was different he was unique in fact he hated his family for their ideals of blood-purity and xenophobia. Two years before I was born my father met my mother for the first time at a No-Maj library and that day they fell in love simply out of each others literary interest. But then my grandparents," He said with a hateful and dreadful tone in his voice.

"Found out about my fathers love for my mother and only a year I was born and lived with my family, they kidnapped my mother and oblivated all memory of my father and me forever," The crowd then gasped in shock and pity towards him. "My father went looking for my mother the night they did this and couldn't find her. Then the next day on Halloween night 1981," Harry then gasped when he heard this.

"He found her walking down the street as if nothing happened. He went up to her and asked if she was okay and where she was the night before. Only for her to tell him she didn't know him and didn't care."

"My father was heartbroken and he righteously took our his revenge on my grandparents that night murdering them for a crime I will never forgive. But the ministry they turned a blind eye to what my Grandparents did and only saw my fathers revenge and they captured him after finding him in my house looking upon my crib crying in pity and sadness as he looked at me realizing I was all he had left."

Yet the ministry heartlessly and cruelly sentenced him to life in prison for the rest of his day." The crowd then gasped again shocked that MACUSA could be so heartless and cruel. I was taken to a orphanage by the ministry and never told me who my parents were or anything about my life before the orphanage. They only told me my name. Then overtime I grew and I studied harder than anyone around me I didn't just study the weird and colorfulness of our world even before I knew what magic was in my search of who I am."

"I also studied No-Maj technology and how it worked along with the science behind it all. When I was 11 a professor from Ilvermorny brought my acceptance letter and explained what I was and that I could do magic. During my schools years I worked hard above everyone else to prove I was the most powerful. But then one faithful walk I had on the ground I heard a voice calling from the lake."

"It told me to come to it for it had to tell me my origins. I then walked to the lake to find no one there except a huge horned serpent looking at me intently." The crowd then started murmuring among themselves at this point. "That's when I realized no person was talking to me it was the serpent who was speaking to me. The Horned Serpent told me I was the last magical descendant of Isult Sayre and I was her only heir."

"This lead me on a path of combining my immense research of both Magic and Science together to create devices of wonder and weapons of destruction. In my final year I was visiting the ministry prison in New York for the classes I was taking to become a Auror. When in the middle of the prison I heard someone murmuring a name and sobbing. The name they were repeatedly murmuring was Betty my mothers name."

The crowd then gasped again at hearing this. "I then walked to the cell where the murmuring was coming from to ask what was wrong only for the prisoner inside to charge at the entrance where I saw he was dirty and had long black hair and a long beard. I then pointed my wand at him until he saw something in my eyes and noticed how I looked like him when I was younger."

"He then said Xarius is that you in a sad and pitiful voice. I responded asking how he knew my name. He then started to cry but these were tears of happiness. He then told me he was my father. I then questioned this before he explained what happened to him and my mother. I then left the prison in fury after I was crying and accusing him of lying about me.

"After that day I vowed to punish every pure-blood, destroy every ministry of magic, and end the statute of secrecy for those things caused all these things against me and people like you to be possible all because were not allowed to be ourselves and work with our No-Maj brothers and sisters."

Everyone's attention then turned to the entrance when suddenly the obese man who was guarding the entrance was thrown inside. Then Xarius sharpened his eyes as he saw a squad of Aurors enter by the entrance. They then yelled across the warehouse.

"Xarius Blackfire you are under arrest for conspiring to break the statute of secrecy along with everyone el-" Before she could finish Xarius merely point his wand at them, and they were instantly engulfed in blue flames which vaporized them in seconds before the flames went out.

"Now that those who would seek to persecute us have been judged for their sins it is time to end this gathering goodbye and remember spread the word of the Greater Good."

Xarius said right before he and the rest of his soldiers disapparated back to their base with the 13 phoenixes. The crowd then exited the warehouse leaving Harry, Ron, Draco and Raina with their thoughts on the situation.

Ron then faced Harry with a grim look on his face. "Harry this is bad news for us. I mean look what he just did to an entire squad of Aurors and the 13 heads of the 13 most powerful pure-blood families in America.

We have to tell Hermione and the other ministries around the world." Ron said in fear and desperation. "You're right Ron we have no other choice otherwise the world is doomed." Draco said in agreement and fear.

"Well its your call guys but I have something to do, so I will meet you back at the manor," Raina said with her strangely happy smile before disapparating. "Well lets get back to the manor to contact Hermione about this." Harry said before the group disapparated to the manor.

Well, I hope you guys enjoyed and there are things to come as the world will soon see. Please leave a review as your feedback is valued greatly by me for edits and opinions can't wait to release Chapter 7.
