"He's a panther, a black panther; his name is……Raiden." Harry said, "He's my guide, he says there are many things about myself I don't know. He says I'm strong in mind, and will be a great warrior."
Gavin smiled openly, Harry had just completed one of the hardest tasks by finding his spirit guide. "Welcome to Eden Raiden."
"Huh?" Harry opened his eyes and looked at Gavin in confusion.
"Didn't you wonder why Jenna is called Creide, Kaylee; Freya, Mariah; Skadi, Glen; Loki, Ian; Anubis, Noah; Vishnu, Carla; Bastet, and myself, Aidan. Those are our spirit guides names. My guide is a hawk. Everyone's is different."
"Gavin, may I be called Raiden all the time please?" Harry pleaded.
"Why, little one?" Gavin asked, wondering why he would want to use his battle name all the time.
"I don't want the name the Potters gave me; it reminds me of them, I….I hate it so much, please." Harry's eyes welled up with unshed tears at the thought of his ex-family.
"Sure, kiddo, I understand now, I'll tell everyone to call you Raiden, it's a very nice name by the way, it means God of Thunder in Japanese, you may be an elemental like Mariah, she's an ice elemental." Gavin stood and offered Raiden a hand up, which he accepted.
"One more thing Raiden, don't hate the Potters, pity them, for they do not understand what is right and wrong, and for that they will suffer."
"Yes Gavin, it's hard to do that but I'll try my hardest." Raiden said as they walked back upstairs.
"I know you will little one, now run along and have some fun, I bet you Kaylee will be looking for her best friend to go horseback riding today."
Raiden smiled and ran off to find his surrogate sister, while Gavin sighed, watching his retreating figure, 'when the time comes, Raiden will be ready', Gavin promised himself in his head.
By the time Raiden was ten years old he had mastered up to fifth year material, and was trained in the martial arts, sword-play, street fighting, use of muggle weapons such as guns, he was also skilled in using daggers.
Raiden loved his new home, he loved his family, and he loved his new life. He finally had learned to pity instead of hate. He understood more than a ten year old should about life death and everything in between. He wasn't a child anymore.
When Raiden turned twelve he was able to beat Gavin in a martial arts spar, proving himself as a true warrior. The night of his birthday, he received a tattoo, done by Gavin himself, of a black panther with emerald eyes.
Raiden enjoyed talking to his spirit guide that he affectionately called Rai so not to get confused. He spent hours a day training and readying himself for his destiny. Gavin was proud of his 'son'. Gavin was the father Raiden never had, Carla the mother, and the rest of the teens his brothers and sisters.
At thirteen, Raiden learned to control his element of lightning, just as Gavin predicted. Raiden was dangerous, as was everyone else at Eden, but Raiden trained till the point of exhaustion to prove to himself, and to show the Potters when the time came, he wasn't a worthless freak, but a warrior, this made him deadly.
At fifteen, the time finally came; Voldemort was back in full control, back to his killing sprees, back to making hell on earth. With Gavin's sources, they heard of an attack on Hogwarts, and as much as Gavin wanted to keep Raiden here, to keep him safe, he couldn't.
Raiden was ready for war.
Everyone donned their battle robes, Creide in sapphire, Freya in pink, Skadi in ice blue, Loki in red, to match his element, fire, Anubis in crimson, Vishnu in silver, Bastet in rose, Aidan in Gold, and Raiden in white. Everyone had something that signifies something special to them on the back of their robes for luck. Raiden's was a black rose.
Everyone concentrated on their power, and suddenly disappeared, they reappeared in two lines in front of the two large doors of Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry.
