The ship fell to Earth at a break neck speed. It avoided complete destruction by the barest margins, a green shield appearing under it moments before impact. It slid and skidded on the on the ground the green sputtering out parts flying off the ship before it finally ground to a halt.

The ship's circular door spun open, blade like pieces of the door sliding into it and the green gloved hand managed to find purchase on the outside... then the ship exploded.


It hurt, why was it hurting? The man screamed his agony even as the doctor muttered "What the hell?" as cat scanners weren't meant to hurt. "Piercings maybe?" he wondered aloud even as he rushed towards the man but before he reached him the machine exploded.


His dream had come true, somehow and someway. He'd wished for an end to the pain more than once but rather didn't like the idea of dying, so it was a perfect fantasy.

["Still, being a ring is not the type of self-insert anyone would actually want, fucking Robs. Random Omnipotent Being indeed."]

He had all the rings database at his mental finger tips, and easily deduced the situation, but sensing around, the green light shining on the wreckage in the clearing there was no one around save the alien who had willingly did his duty, going far beyond to escape the creature of red and yellow after his ring.

It was automatic, really- he'd confirmed his bearer's death, as soon as he had he was doing a much larger scan, the green light so dispersed it was barely visible.

Then he started feeling them, the beings and their souls and their sheer willpower- then he felt it, a shining beacon that made all other lights look like matches, and with the barest wish of wanting to know why he was rocketing off towards it.


The young man stepped out of the tent on wobbly legs. With his friends abandoning him, he hadn't figured out any way to survive this. The idea of using a broom against something that big that flies is ridiculous, but Harry didn't have any other good ideas.

Still, he'd faced trolls and dark lords, manic house elves and bludgers, basilisks and dementors, he wouldn't, he couldn't give up without a fight.

Ducking behind a boulder out of sight of the mammoth beast, he waved his wand in a come hither motion saying "Accio broom." Nothing happened, he didn't even feel the spell leave his wand. "Accio broom!" He put his all into it even shouting the spell but... nothing. They'd.. they'd charmed the arena against summoning spells he realized dejected, feeling even worse when he realized he could have summoned the egg had that not been the case.

"Stupify maybe?" Harry muttered not having any other ideas and having heard that spell worked... If you had 15 or more people casting it at once. Several times.

Stepping out he focused harder than ever before, willing all his power into the spell, jabbing his wand forth shouting "Stupify!". The light was bright red with wasted magic energy it was throwing off, by the time it got to the dragon it was barely more than a nuisance.

It was enough to get the dragon's attention as it inhaled, and Harry ran.


The crowd gasped as Harry perished in an intense burst of dragon fire lighting the very ground on fire.

Then the smoke cleared revealing a boy in a green bubble with wide eyes.


["Shit shit shit! Put me on!"] the ring shouted at the boy as he drew closer.

Harry spun about spotting the glimmering thing falling towards him and with reflexes long honed plucked it from the air and jammed it on a random finger on his left hand just in time for the fire to get close enough to feel.

There wasn't even time for Harry to duck or cringe away, he wished for a shield the same time the ring did the same.

The heat was intense but soon died as the ring figured protecting from heat and smoke, but still the shield started cracking and straining.

Then it was all over.

["I'm almost out of juice kid, one more like that and we're done"]

"Merlin, what are you?"

["More important things to be worrying about, I think. Wait, why don't you just run away, the dragons chained up isn't it?"]

"I can't, I need the golden egg the dragon's guarding or I'll lose my magic!"

It didn't work that way but neither knew that.

["Shit, okay, how about as soon as the smoke clears you rush out and get it- the things got to think you're dead right? Once you get close enough you can lift it with, well with me, just will it and imagine it happening, a hand or a lasso maybe. Getting away will be trickier-"]

The smoke started clearing and Harry shot off, not catching whatever else the ring had to say. As it was it cut off a second or two after not wanting the kid to get distracted and roasted.

The dragon didn't stay surprised long enough and Harry was forced to dodge around dragon fire, his feet willed faster seemed to burst with green light each time sending him rocketing forward bit by bit.

The green light spread out and captured the egg in a net, and Harry pulled it forth just as the dragon unleashed a burst of fire too wide-spread to be avoided.

["UP! Put your all into it!"] The ring 'shouted', the boy barely bent his legs willing more than thinking, and they shot up in an explosion of green. The heat was intense as they kept climbing, the dragon firing after them.

Thankfully it was distracted by wizards starting to try to get it under control again, and cut the flame.

Harry panted barely noting he was in mid air.

"Thanks, but what are you?" Harry asked eventually.

["I'll tell you later- we need to get on the ground before-"] that's when the power cut off, leaving only enough for some critical functions.

Then they started to fall. Just to add insult to injury Harry saw his broom where he had summoned it, and considering how long it took the first time there was no hope of summoning it in time.

Just before they hit the ground the ring burst forth with what power it could, 'shouting' ["Shield!"], and Harry's will joined with the ring's own.
