Chapter 3: The Quest.
"Allow me to start from the beginning. As you are aware you believe that your parents are those referred to as James Potter and Lilly Evans correct."
Harry slowly nodded his head to the apparition.
"It was exactly 1971 when I met your mother, that dreadful piece of filth that was her sister was viciously ridiculed her from her realisation she was a witch. I shall never forget that day. It was the first time I met her, I was at the time still a wandering spirit travelling the world in any way to return to my former self, however, I knew this could only be achieved with a human host."
"Wait" bellowed Harry while rising to his feet, annoyed at standing so long he had decided to sit down to the tale of the demon only to rise to his feet again. "Voldemort seems to be exactly like you, he was once a wandering spirit until he possessed Quirrell, and then proceeded to try and kill me when I was 11"
"NO. My dear Luse I assure you that I am NOTHING like that vile man, he claims to be this so-called Dark Lord yet me and my brothers and sisters have witnessed greater evils and malevolent forces of this worlds that would make him scurry into the dankest pits that he came from" scowled Shendu while his tongue flicked out in distaste.
"Luse," said Harry
"That's right. Your true name is Luse Guizu from our prestigious family line we are descended from China in your English terms however this will translate to "Green Noble" it is an exotic, powerful and fitting name for your little one." spoke Shenu in a delighted tone. "I would also like to point out that we decided on green due to your eyes the day that you were conceived and the Noble would refer to your ancestor".
It was at this point that Harry staggered to the ground in a silent heap. How could he possibly perceive this as reality, how could he possibly understand the truth from lies anymore?
Wait. And then a small click goes off in his head. An Unbreakable Vow
"I have something that I want you to do to...Dad..." the words very foreign on his lips "what I am about to commence is what we refer to as an Unbreakable Vow. It shall work like this I will form a magical binding with you through contact, in doing so I shall ask you questions, should you answer all of them with the truth then I will have faith and trust in you from this point forth.
Harry's eyes opened in a vicious glare.
"However should you be found out to be a liar...then magic itself will deem you unworthy and proceed to kill you from the inside out. Do you Shendu accept this ritual.
Shendu seemed to ponder this for a few excruciating minutes before he laid to rest his body around Harry's neck.
"Very well Luse. If this means that I shall win your trust then I shall humbly accept the contents of your ritual." Shendu spoke softly while extending a long dragon tail into Harry's outstretched hands. As soon as contact was made a gold chain of pre-magic was forged linking Shendus tail and Harry's hand.
"What is your full name"
"Shendu. Lord of the Shadowkhan and Demon Sorcerer of Fire"
"Are you my true father"
"Yes"
"What is my mother's name"
"Lilly Evans"
"What is my name"
"Luse Guizu"
So far all the questions were answered and so far his magic had deemed him to be trustworthy. What else could he ask, the connection would not break until he allowed it to be released. How about...
"If you truly are my father then why am I just meeting you now. Why were you never there for me and I had to live with those disgusting Dursleys and be beaten to a pulp and treated like damn maggot for the past."
"When I was imprisoned in this place also known as the Netherworld" stated Shendu while gazing at the ever still dark orange horizon with disdain. "I was trapped in this damn place with barely a slither of my true power. I was confined to this place and unable to leave, while I was a spirit I would be permitted to travel between worlds but I was unable to do nothing but watch you, my son. But I want you to know that while you may not have seen me, heard me or even felt my presence in dreams or reality I never left your side, my child."
Harry or "Luse" gazed at the transparent form of his "father" in great respect. This being had been with him through every single aspect of his life. From his dreadful childhood with the Dursleys to the final battle with Hogwarts.
"You said something about your kind what did you mean by that as in brothers and sisters. Would that mean I have different uncles and aunts" said Luse eagerly. the idea of having ideal uncles and aunts seemed amazing, even if they might be demons he would receive no more treatment then he did with Petunia and Vernon.
"That is right Luse they are the other seven demons that reside here and I look forward to meeting you, however, my relationship with them is rather...rocky, to say the least. While trapped in this place they were rather upset due to not freeing then when I was at full strength also like me they also possess an aptitude. When you are ready I shall introduce you to them."
Luse nodded slowly while releasing the magical bond, his emerald green eyes connected with Shendus ruby red ones. He decided that he would from this day forward to be called Luse Guizu and that he was the son of Shendu and Lilly Evans. Shendu sensing the agreement of his son uncoiled himself from his son's shoulders and made his way towards the edge of the floating rock. Luse could hear mutterings under his father breath almost like chanting until another plume of dark vapour arose from the ground in front of him instead this one, however, was able to produce a physical form.
The being in front of them appeared to seem to appear with a human physiology, yet had the same ruby eye expression as Shendu. The man was dressed in what appeared to be a black carb around his body that resembled a ninja. From what you could see of the bare skin it was grey-bluish the rest of its body was lined with blue and red accents around the neck, arms and legs. It stared blankly at the two of them before it kneeled to the ground submitting his head low.
Shendu turned towards Luse with an "about to explain" look on his features.
"The being that you see before you is what has been dubbed by ancient civilisations as a Shadowkhan, have you ever heard of one," Shendu asked
Luse shook hi hed his eyes never leaving their third companion.
"Long ago another group of strong like creatures with what ancient times have called them as the Shadowkhan. They are originated from Japan and each one was under the direct control of another type of demon called an Oni General. Since there were nine generals in total then there were nine different forms of Shadowkhan to be controlled, sadly the Oni were sadly defeated by their adversaries and so began the fall of Tarakudo"
Luse blinked "What on earth is a Tarakudo"
"Tarakudo is the King of the Shadowkhana and the Supreme Lord of all Oni. We Demon Sorcerors are on par with the terms of power and knowledge. In ancient times Tarakudo leads his Oni generals to reign supreme over Japan. However, his reign was stopped and his loyal generals were trapped in masks to eternity."
"So..." said Luse while rather intrigued by the story "What happened to Tarakudo was he imprisoned in a mask like the rest of his generals." Luse seemed to sense that Tarakudo got an alternate end than his followers
"Why yes he did" chuckled Shendu eyes gleaming with humour. "Although it is true that a mask exists to trap him Tarakudo sealed the mask in the one place that no mortal would ever DARE enter if not on the verge of insanity. The Shadow Realm." eerily exclaimed Shendu.
"The Shadowrealm" began Shendu as if sensing the upcoming questions "Is a sort of nexus of reality it is the place where all the Shadowkhan reside and emit from should they be summoned as I have demonstrated to you. It is an alternate dimension, I myself have travelled there occasionally the experience is rather...unpleasant...to say the least. Only those with the use of Dark Magic or those like you and me that are of Demon blood can access it. Tarakudo left his mask there out of the prying hands of mortal men."
It was then that the Shadowkhan arose from kneeling and walk ominously towards Luse he stopped at just a foot away from Luse before kneeling again and bowing in front of him while extending his dark blue hand upwards.
Luse turned to Shendu with a look that asked to kindly clarify.
"I myself am rather limited in my past abilities and I doubt that the Shadowkhan will listen to the apparition of a once defeated dragon, you, on the other hand, are of demon and noble blood. Shendu spoke gently his tone, not one fitting his ghostly appearance."Luse, I have a request for you I would like you to hear this out and I urge you to understand that this is optional. I Shendu would like to humbly ask of you to collect my 12 talismans that were one once scattered to the four corners of the globe, by doing this I shall be able to be endowed with my true power once more and be blood and bone again. If you wish not to then the Shadowkhan shall instead return you to the Human World and you may live the rest of your days in peace."
Luse slowly walked over the edge of the rock and stared at the coral sky. He had no idea what he might have been unleashing if he let Shendu free he could wreck complete destruction on the world though Luse
That's what he would have thought 4 hours ago.
Shendu had told him the truth of his lineage, family and history in the speck of 4 hours that nobody had bothered to truly explain in his whole Hogwarts education. And besides, why did he even care what happened, he had never had much of a good relationship with Muggles if the Dursleys were anything to say about it and if anything the Wizarding World was probably even worse for the actions they caused him.
Luse turned towards his spectral father the biggest smile that he could muster. His emerald eyes gleaming with determination. This would be his choice and it would be his own action that made this happen. So shall arise the legend of Luse Guizu
"I accept...Dad. I will help you regain your previous form and I shall allow being free of this place." At once Harry was engulfed head to his toes in surprisingly warm scales until he came to the realisation that he was being hugged by the apparition. While slowly he wrapped his arms around the demon dragon allowing a few shards of tears to be released.
"Thank you, son and I promise that once I return to the land of the living that I will ensure your revenge against those that oppressed you. As a sign of your loyalty and lineage to the Demon Sorcerors, I will present you with the Mark.
The Shadowkhan wrapped his arms around left hand all the while a hissing of steam arose from the crevices slightly stinging the young demon wizard. When the hands were removed they showed a sort of tattoo of an obvious demon mask its eyes bore into his eyes. It represented sabertooth long fangs on either side and uprising horns.
(A/N I am kinda shit at describing stuff lately. It is the Mark of Tarakudo for those that wanna look it up.)
"This is whats known as the Mark of Tarakudo a magical symbol that is used to call forth the Shadowkhan do any of your biddings, even without the use of an Oni mask or dark magic spell. normally it is common for mortals to foolishly succumb to its parasitic abilities. However as you from demon blood, you will be able to stay the dominant combatant. This will allow you mentally contact me from the Human World and to be transported back here to you ever need it. I shall send you the locations of all my Talismans and transport you there immediately. Shendu explained while circling Luse and the Shadowkhan. His attention switched tot eh Shadowkhan who had been silently observing the two for some time.
"This here is Luse Guizu Heir of the 8 Noble Demon Sorcerors and my successor. The Ninja Clan of the Shadowkhan are now under his direct control I humbly pass that lordship over to him" exclaimed Shendu an orb of darkness coming out of the demon's chest while travelling to Luse. The orb seemed to pass harmlessly through his body all the while a strong resonance of aura surrounded his body the once emerald eyes momentarily flickered red. "This young man is to be protected and treated as a prince, should any harm come towards him..." Shendu appeared to grow larger his body extended to resemble the Basilisk from the second year. "Then there is nowhere in this world or the next that you may scurry from me" Shendu hissed menacingly. A being of pure darkness such as the Shadowkhan seemed to slightly shake at the sudden pressure in the void while nodding his head in respect.
Shendu turned to Luse his form somewhat shrinking down to regular size. " I am sorry that you had to see that over the worrisome exterior of myself, my child, although with your past I cannot imagine that you were given any form of family love before," Luse responded with nothing more than a sad smile.
Taking the hand of the Shadowkhan he allowed himself to seemingly fall into the vastness of darkness, the last look was the supreme amount of pride and love from his demon fathers eyes.
And thus darkness did its wicked work. So fell into the hands of the Fates.
A/nI would like to point out that I am incredibly sorry that it has taken me so long to get this chapter up as I have been busy with certain things in this sorry excuse that we call living. I will have my next chapter uploaded in the next 2 weeks if not message to hurry up.
As always your opinion is welcomed as are new followers and reviews.
I am working each of my chapters longer than the last.
Goodbye my little Minions
