Chapter 4: The Past and the Beginning
"There was a time many many years ago when the wizarding and the muggle worlds lived together. There was no fighting, no wars, no anything. They fit together like gloves and for many centuries they got along.
However this peaceful period was not meant to last forever.
War abruptly broke out among the wizards and muggles, when a muggle king, a power hungry tyrant, sent out the word of eradication of wizards. The selfish king called them abominations, demons, a mockery of their race and that they were not meant to live. They would only steal from them, murder their children in the night, and curse their farms and families to become barren and seedless.
That spread poisonious slander and hate was the start of a very dark time for both worlds. Thousands died, families were ripped apart and many newborns were needlessly silenced permanently.
As the years wore on and the war showed no signs of stopping a group of nomads, travelers, made themselves known to the Wizard Head and and council and offered their skills in exchange for two things, the muggle kingdom, and the right to join in war alongside the wizards should there ever be a need for them.
The Head and council accepted and within weeks the war had all but ended, and with the death of the muggle king and the crowning of a nomad woman, the war ended permenantly.
On the night of the coronation of the new Nomad Queen, the Wizard Head made an appearance to show his peoples gratitude and to give thanks for her peoples help in ending the war. She accepted but made one more request.
Anything he told her.
Anthing at all.
A child she asked for. A child by him.
And so later on that night in her chamber she became swollen with his seed and begote his child.
Five monthes later she gave birth to a 2 pound baby boy with emerald green eyes and wheate blonde hair and a black birthmark above his heart in the shape of a single black flame.
On the night the child was borne she made one more request to the Wizard Head.
His world was to split away from the her and the muggle world permanently.
Half a year later when rogue muggles began killing wizards again he agreed.
Within less than a year all of the wizarding world was completely hidden and erased from the muggles history and memories and the Wizard Head never saw his child or the Nomad Queen again."

Severus stared at Albus unblinkingly. " Okay so what does that little tidbit of history have to do with this box that contains Lucius and Bellatrix's severed heads, and that psycho sitting right there?"
Albus looked into the box at the heads and before turning to the young man sitting across from him and chuckled softly. "You really invited Tom into a game of tag?"
"I believe that is what the note says. You know the one that was nicely placed in Lucuis's eye socket." Severus interjected. " Now Albus would you be so kind as to answer my questions?"
"That little tidbit has everthing to do with it." The young man answered. "Well actually the last bit, really, has everything to do with it."
Severus glared at him.
The young man chuckled.
Severus's left eye twiched and his jaw clenched tighter.
Albus just stared at the two.
Fawks blinked.
"Okay so to answer your questions Severus, my dear boy." Albus began after clearing his throat to catch his two guests attention. "This young man is a desendant of the Nomad Queen. Her and her people were essentially a warrior group, but they had a certain quirk to them. I believe they had a bit of creature in them...similar to that of a veela...only deadlier. They were agile, strong, brilliant, the perfect race, only they had a very strong taste for blood. They thrived on violence, fighting, and war. They also had one very unique talent. They could create a type of fire. It was called the shadow fire, and this fire could be used for anything. They could use it to create these...portals...or weapons, like swords and whips. Anything they could think of, they could create. This fire could be used for anything, as well as being used for either destruction or purification and healing.
"Oh really." Severus stated skeptically.
"Yes really." Albus said.
"Prove it."
Albus smiled and shrugged his houlders before he turned to the young man and nodded his head.
The young man turned to Severus and smiled, raised his right hand and ...
Severus leaned back in shock, his eyes wide as he stared at the young mans hand before him.
It was completely engulfed in black flames.
And instead of screaming in agony like the young man should have been he was smiling and laughing at Severus's facial expression.
"I...I've never seen anything like this."
Albus's eyes twinkled. " I know. I believe he is the last of his kind, and if their are more they have not either awakened or hid themselves."
Severus turned to inspect the fire, moving in closer towards the young man's hand. "Oh and the Dark Lord called all of us Death Eaters for a meeting tonight. He says we are to find Potter and turn him in to him tomorrow. He was completely enraged when that 'present' showed up."
The young man smirked at that.
"Why did you only put a sickle in Bellatrix's mouth and not Severus's?" Severus asked?
"Lucius was a greedy man and besides he was rich. He deserved to go to the afterlife a poor man."
"Oh. So what else can you do with this?"
"What ever I want."
"For instance, If I want to fly with out a broom, " He began floating a few inches off the chair he was sitting in. "I can."
"If I want to make a person fall hopelessly ill, towards the brink of death or even die, "Severus started coughing and struggling to breath, it felt as if something or someone was cutting off his air supply, as blood came spilling out of his mouth, when the young man touched him with his flame covered hand. "I can"
"And if I want to heal someone," the other hand, now covered in black flame as well, touched Severus and Severus watched as the spots before his eyes disappeared as he gulped down air and quit coughing up blood. "I can."
As he sat back on his haunches, gathering control of himself and doing a self inventory, Severus looked upon the young man with trepidation and a small amount of fear. To have that kind of power at your beck and call. At just a thought. To be able to do anything and everything...no limits. Severus shook his head to get those thoughts out of his mind and went back to his seat.
"Why don't we just send him to the Dark Lord and have him kill him. Everything would be over right then and there." He remarked to Albus.
The young man scoffed.
Albus again shrugged his shoulders. "While that is a great idea. I'm afraid he won't do it."
"Why for bloody sakes not?"
"Because the game isn't over yet."
"Game? What are you talking about Albus?"
Albus pointed to the young man. "His game is not finished."
Rounding on the young man Severus drew himself up to his full height. "You have the power to end this god for saken war and you won't all for a stupid game? Peoples lives are at sake here!"
"That may be so," The young man began, "However since I have woken up at the tail end of this war I intend to have a little fun."
"FUN!" Severus yelled. " War is not fun! You stupid child! How can you prance about and pretend this is some game? Well it isn't!"
The young man stood up and looked from Severus to Albus. "Well Albus, Severus, it's time for me to go. I'll see you when school starts."
"School? You're a student? Who are you?" Severus questioned as the young man began to walk towards a wall.
Turning backaround the young man smiled mischeviously at Severus. "Take a wild guess Snape." and then he turned around and walked right through the wall.
Severus stared at the wall the young man just disappeared through before sitting down in his seat.
Turning to Albus Severus closed his mouth and made an effort to make his eyes unwiden.
"Was that...Potter?" he asked Albus once he was capable of formulating a coherrant sentence and was again capable of speech.
The twinkle in Albus's eye just got brighter before he pulled out his bowl and said, "Lemon drop?"
