Anotharoce
*Okay by popular demand. And I do mean popular. I will be making this a multiple chapter story. I mean really 131 people are following this thing and I never even said it would be more than maybe a weird way to offload the idea in my head. Also thanks for the reviews . for the 94 of you people how didn't review/message me, you know who you are, thank the ones that did. I would probably leave this story if I didn't get spammed in the first day and every few hours sense for them.
* So here are the warnings. This is going to be different and not like the canon at all. I never understood the who 'true earthborn people thing.' Also while I get the whole heaven earth thing going on I honestly feel like if the rating in the manga didn't begin to drop that there would also be flames of the Sea so I will be adding those as a concept.
Chapter 2(1?)
The first thing that Harry felt as he woke up was peace and contentment. It was as if someone had taken phoenix song and turned into a bath and he was submerged in it.
Despite the hardness of the ground and stiffness he was feeling Harry refused to get up, after all, he was warm and content and moving was a weird feeling like he was an overfull water balloon that any pressure that was placed on him would make him pop.
"Well isn't this a surprise," a female voice said. The voice was like a mix of fire and ancient music filled with nothing but perfect tones and ringing harmonic harmony.
"Who's there," Harry asked as he cracked an eye open but didn't see anyone.
"Be a calm child, for there is no one here but you and me. I am the ancient memory of this place. The people of Anotharoce often called me the 'Flame Keeper' in your language, but a more accurate way to portray of me would be to call me the flames them-self," the voice explained as Harry managed to find himself sitting up with his back to the warm bowl with seven meter tall orange flames spilling out the top.
"Okay. I really have no idea what is going on but if you could explain that would be great. They last time I met a sentient entity that didn't have a body it sent a basilisk on me," Harry replied dryly while hoping that by talking about this thing he would have his life force drained or something like that.
The voice seemed to crackle in glee before it began it's explanation, "well to understand what's going on you first need to understand what this place is."
Harry nodded.
That seemed to be enough for the entity of the flame as Harry had started to dub the thing, "The island you are on is the island at the heart of the sky as the people who lived here once called it. It went by the name of Anotharoce."
"Now Anotharoce was created around the dawn of civilisation. As were two other civilisations: Avalon and Atlantis. Now each of these civilisations was different than the other four 'cradles of civilisation' as your people call them now, in that they were mostly magic based peoples."
"In the beginning everything was fine. The tribes were gathered and magically solved most of the problems of the people and they were peaceful. This, of course, changed when people wanted to be in charge of one another."
"War broke out in all areas of civilisation. Tribes made villages only for them to be burnt down. In retaliation, someone would raise the dead and have them detract their enemy's while they would poison the lakes and springs. Magic went from being a thing used to help to be a way of war."
"While this bad at least the number of magical were few as it took the time to train them. This meant that for every war mage there were six mages that focused on add others with their magic and in turn, it created a balance."
"That balance was broken when black magic was created. Unlike normal magic where once cast the energy returns to the circle of energy in nature once it's job is done. Black magic or as you call it now the dark magic of magic of evil intent doesn't return the energy back to the way it was. Black magic corrupts the energy leaving it incomparable with anything and eventually creating what are called toxic pocket effects."
"Now while most of these effects could be ignored or written off as nature balancing itself. Some like dementors couldn't."
"Eventually it became so bad that it had corrupted magic itself making it so only those with magic tied to their blood could use it."
"Realising what was happening Anotharoce, Avalon, and Atlantis put aside their difference as they had the most magic users left and with the magic of Anotharoce allowing it to move between the other two civilisations and pool their efforts to find a solution. They did find one eventually while looking to see if humans could right the wrong that they had made."
"They found that humans could use their soul as the filter of sorts. It was also quickly decided that something else was needed though if they were going to use their souls to repair the energy of the world and stop all the corrupt magical energy from warping the world."
"It was a young boy who found the answer they were looking for. He wondered why the people didn't just light the corrupt energy on fire and get it over with."
"The realisation that this was what the ancient people were looking for was overwhelming. There was a way to fix the problem. They could burn the corruption out of the world."
"Like all problems that are rushed to be fixed the execution fell short. The first problem they hit was that there was no way for the few hundred mages they had to even one percent of what was being made at the same time in other parts of the world. After all, one really powerful item could produce enough corrupt energy that it would take a hundred mages to match the output. With this in mind, they created three rituals to create soul fire in every human in the world."
"Depending on your soul would depend on how the fire would manifest in you. If you were part of the sky set it as because you were bound by the sky as a wander. If you were of the earth it was because you were bound to the earth and the same applies for the sea."
"Everything settled for awhile after that until it was found that the soul fire that they had given humanity to help heal the world was now causing harm as well."
"The soul fire did destroy the corrupt energy but in its wake, it left dead energy. The energy had no energy if you will."
"This became a new problem for the people of the magic civilisations because it meant that now they not only had to deal with the corrupt energy they now had to deal with the dead zones. Places that used to thrive where now dying from starvation because while the energy was there it was doing nothing."
"This lead to the creation of new rituals to try and fix this problem. The first two rituals that were completed were done by the earth and sea flame users to pull the dead energy from the land and sea where it settled and throw it into the air."
"It's the sky's job to re-energize the dead energy. This is done by using sky soul fire to rip a howl into the demotion void. This, in turn, allows the natural power of the void to spill into our world. That power, in turn, refills the dead energy and makes it magic is the cycle that was created by the ancients."
"This place you are sitting is the sight of the turning the processes that the people of Anotharoce used to renew the energy in the air."
"You started the process by being able to use the sky type flames and touching the ritual bowl."
"The process has been maintained by using your soul and destroying anchored corrupted energy."
"More specifically the Horcruxes of Tom Riddle and the Tri-ni-set of the true earthborn demons. After those were gone the 'Turning Ritual' has simply gone after anything that is anchored corrupt energy."
Feeling that the being was done Harry chose to ask his next question, "If you don't mind me asking. Why do I feel like I have seven strings tied to me?"
"Those are your elements,"the entity began, "Or more accurately they are the leftover elements that the true earthbound demon was feed off of at the time."
"You see a sky your flames get grounded by your elements. Unfortunately, you had no elements when you began the turning and as a way to prevent the turning from harming you your flames used the natural boost in power to find the most compatible elements. This resulted in you bonding to the elements that were used as food in the Tri-ni-set as while they were all bound to each other they weren't bound to their sky."
"Well, that sucks," Harry mumbled as he felt something land on his lap. Looking down he found himself looking at a bag filled with gems.
As he was looking at the gems he didn't realise that a phoenix had landed on his leg until he was consumed by fire.
Please tell me what you thing.
