An Odd Encounter In Vegas

by FlowerofAdversity

A warlock named Algernon is up to some nasty tricks to subdue the world under his control and destroy the entire Universe as we know it, but not if Odd has anything to say about it. Will he be able to convince Harry that there's a warlock loose and vying for ultimate destruction of all we hold dear ?

Chapter 4-Messing With Time

Algernon Cygnus was highly bemused and amused at Harry's search he started to become tense when Harry finally found information about him. He had thought he ingrained his intellectual property well enough with runes and spells that no one, not even the government, coudl trace him. He had faked his death so long ego to avoid taxes and was living high off the hog somewhere in the mountains of Switzerland unbeknownst to anyone but himself. He thought perhaps he had been overconfident and possibly a bit careless with his background information.

'At last, I find out who you really are. He has the ability to tamper with space/time. Holy shit...This guy is no laughing matter.', Harry said, a bit subdued.

'This is the one who manipulated my state. All I ask for is the bliss I knew before. I was happy with Stormy on the other side.', Odd complained.

'Don't worry, with our combined intellect we'll think of something.', Harry reassured him. Just then before Algernon could turn back the clock, Harry intonated a sacred chant for them not to forget what they had uncovered and to sleep on the formula for besting the warlock that currently had them under his thumb.

Algernon chuckled.

'Nothing you do is worth anything, you dolts !', he thought to himself, not realizing Harry had felt the warlock's attack in advance. The clock had already been wound back to the past and Odd was wandering around Vegas trying to find Harry Dresden once more. Somehow, someway, he would unite with him and stop this crazed lunatic before everything went berserk.
