A Hogwarts Adventure Book 2: River of the Spirit

Chapter 6: Tale of the Queen of Thieves

Days had turned into weeks.

Weeks since Sakura had vanished.

Since Kura had begun to wear the Slytherin uniform and robes.

And all her friends were beginning to worry.

Well, except Jack and Elsa, who saw her daily.

"I miss her. She's my best friend." Sydney said sadly. She poked her food with her fork.

Merida nodded, "She's different. Ever since Sakura left, it's like she's trying to-"

"Take her place..." Tsu paled, "Dear Ra, why didn't this occur to me before!"

The others stared at her.

Tsu shook her head, "Not here. Outside."

They nodded and got up.

Walking outside, Tsu began her explanation, "Sakura, Kura, Estrella and myself are holder of four Sennen Items. There are seven original and four that weren't made. The four that we hold. Sakura and Kura have the band and choker. I have the dagger and Estrella has the staff."

The others nodded.

Tsu took out the dagger, "I didn't think we'd ever have to tell you guys about the items...but..."

She sighed and continued, "5000 years ago in Ancient Egypt, an evil arose. Shadow Games played by great pharaohs threatened the world, until one vanished it. That pharaoh was the son of the pharaoh who had the items created. The Seven Sennen items. The Puzzle, the Ring, the Ankh, the Tauk, the Scale, the Eye and the Rod. All having great powers, but at a great cost. A village of thieves, slaughters, massacred of ninety-nine lives, with one sole survivor: Akefia Tozouku. The King of Thieves. Or, so that's how many believe the tale to go. He had friend. Zahra Re, abandoned by her family when her village was raided, Zahra lived in Kul Elna with her closest and dearest friend. Losing the other home and family she had, Zahra swore her loyalty to him."

"What does this have to do with anything?" Anna asked, leaning forwards as she got into the story.

"Over the years they became Egypt's most wanted criminals. And over the years, friendship turned into love, and one day, Akefia proposed-"

"Aaaww..."

"However, fate has its way of interfering. The day after he did so, Akefia perished. His soul locked away in the Sennen Ring he had stolen, while the Pharaoh he had sworn his revenge upon, had his own sealed in the Puzzle. Zahra, out of grief, lashed out at the God, Ra. Having her own soul divided and sealed in the band and choker she wore. Her soul in the band, her innocence and sanity in choker."

"Band and..." Hiccup trailed off, eyes wide in realization.

Tsu nodded, "The years went by before her Items were found and gifted to a young girl by the name of Sakura Yami. Seeing as Zahra barely remembered her name but rather the meaning, she took the girls original, while the girl became-"

"Kura..." Harry said slowly.

"But have posed as twins, never once separating, for when they do, they slowly fade away from who they were. Zahra would survive, but Kura would perish, as all light does. Sakura and I are the darker halves of a split soul, while Kura and Estrella are the light. We can't be apart for longer than a week before things begin to change. I believe I know where Sakura is, but I need some help."

Tsu stood, held her hand out to Estrella and the two walked away.

The others shared a look at the new information.

Four of their friends were souls split into two.

And one just lost her first half at the beginning of the year which meant...

"Kura's gonna die if we don't get Sakura back." Sydney whispered. They looked back at the castle, wondering, when, and how, they could get back Sakura and hopefully, the old Kura.

Review!

Short, I know, but they will get longer. As of right now, this series is my main priority on FFN. I won't be updating other stories, and if I do, all the chapters will be short, like this one. I already have another chapter finished, but it'll take some time to publish, seeing as to I need to figure out when I can bring it in.

Seeing to it as I have college four days of the week, all updates will be on the weekend.
