Chapter 7 – Pax Tharkas (Part 1)

The following day, Harry and Azure said their goodbyes. The dragon was relieved to hear Harry tell him that he had no grudges against the dragon.

"It was never anything personal," said Harry. "I only attack when I get attacked and that crazy man, that was riding you like a common mule was responsible for what took place. I have no intention of seeking out anyone and hurting them."

"You have my respect Lord Potter," said Azure. "Should you ever need me do not hesitate to call me."

With that the dragon pulled off one of his smaller scales and handed it to Harry. Filius looked thoughtful for a moment and waved his wand and conjured a necklace to hang it from. Harry smiled and placed the scale around his neck. With one final farewell pat, Harry stood back as the dragon flapped his wings and flew off. Ladonna and Justinius looked on in amusement.

"Not many people would do something so gracious," said good natured Justarius. "You are a remarkable young man. I now see why you are the one to walk with the medallion of Paladine around your neck. Blue dragons are said to be the most loyal out of the chromatic dragons. You have earned the loyalty of that dragon in particular."

"I actually love dragons," said Harry. "I just wish that my friend Hagrid could have come through and been here. He would have loved to be with the dragons. He is famous for raising deadly creatures as pets. A talking dragon would be right up his alley."

"What has you so sad Lord Potter?" asked Ladonna. "I know it is none of my business, but you seem so sad all the time. You have a wonderful group of people that love and care about you."

"I just miss my home," said Harry with tears in his eyes. "I am sixteen and I lead these people. Some of them taught my mother and father when they were children, yet I am given the mantle of leadership. I will never be able to visit the graves of my parents or go back to the first place I ever really could call home. I am grateful that things are going so well here, but I miss my home."

"We sympathize with you," said Justarius. "I know I would be sad if I were no longer able to go home. You may be young, but you are wise well beyond your years. At least now you do not have to worry about that Lord Voldemort person. From what I am to understand from your colleagues, you are also free of the machinations of that Dumbledore person."

"Head Master Dumbledore thought he could play with my emotions and my life," said Harry. "He is one of those types of people that the Dark Queen would have loved as a follower. He would have given your Ariakas person a run for his money with the maneuvering of people and such. Voldemort would have been her top lieutenant."

"Harry," called Tanis from the portal. "Come quick. There is someone attempting to access the gate on the boundary of the path. We need you to come and handle the interlopers."

Harry looked at the heads of the orders of the red and black robes and the trio took off. If someone was attempting to get into the tower, then it was a matter for all wizards. The trio raced through the portal and into the courtyard of the Dragon Tower as it was now being called. Harry gathered Sturm, Tanis, Hermione, Draco, and Severus and raced through the gates. They came upon a trio of elves standing there nervously.

"Gilthanas?" asked Tanis. "What are you doing here?"

"Tanthalas," said Gilthanas. "I heard you were here in Palanthas and I came to ask you to come with me to Qualinesti. The Speaker wishes to talk with you. You and your friends are needed as Pax Tharkas is now under the command of Lord Verminaard. He and a red dragon by the name of Ember, is holding eight hundred humans as slaves in the mines. We are going to go in and try and free them, but we can not do it alone. You are known for leading your friends into adventures and we need your help."

"Come into the tower," said Harry. "We can discuss this with the entire group. This is a big decision to be made just because the leader of your people insists that he do it. We can decide from there if we should put anyone at risk or send a delegation of warriors and or a group of my own people to go and rescue the prisoners."

The group made their way to the tower and Gilthanas was amazed at the change in the tower. All the studies he had done told him that the tower was unapproachable. Yet this teenage human was the leader here and it was obvious to the elf that he was in charge. He watched as Harry flicked his wand and mumbled a phrase and a silver stag appeared. Harry told the stag what he wanted to say and sent it off. Gilthanas was shocked once more when he heard the stag telling anyone he saw that a meeting was being held in the council chamber of the tower. He watched a young female do the same with a silver otter and watched as it flew out of the tower to the buildings surrounding the tower to tell other people the same thing. Soon pops could be heard as they appeared. It was not long before everyone took their allotted places. Gilthanas raised an eyebrow as forty people not including Tanis and his group sat in their allotted places and looked to Harry for guidance. What surprised him was that many of these people were years older than Harry and yet he was the one in charge.

"This elf has come here and said that eight hundred people are being held captive by a dragon High Lord in a place called Pax Tharkas," Harry told the group. "He is being aided by a red dragon named Ember and the leader of his people want help in rescuing them. I am all for assisting others, but I am not sure I want to trek across this country and not know what is going on. This elf is named Gilthanas and he seems to know Tanis. So why don't we hear what he has to say and make a sound decision from there."

Gilthanas looked to Tanis for confirmation. When he got the nod, he licked his lips and began.

"We have spies in the different areas and different groups that make up the High Lords," he began. "It has come to our attention that Verminaard has kidnapped many people from smaller villages and have been using them as slave labor in the mining camps surrounding Pax Tharkas."

"What is Pax Tharkas?" asked Hermione. "Is it a city or something that was taken by the High Lord?"

"Pax Tharkas is a bastion of strength that sits between the Elven kingdom of Qualinesti and the Dwarven kingdom of Thorbardin," said Flint. "It was built during a time when elves, humans, and dwarves were united to maintain the peace of that region. It was done before the Kinslayer wars where Kith Kanan lost his life thus ending the peace treaty between the two races. It is said that the walls are impenetrable. However, I am sure that with your help it should be easy to gain entrance to the citadel and remove the vermin that inhabits the place."

"The dwarf speaks the truth," said Gilthanas. "I am a descendant of Kith Kanan. I will be going to the citadel and attempt to rescue the human slaves. We elves usually do not interfere with the on goings of humans, but it is beneficial to us as well to rescue the humans so that we can stay safe in our own kingdom should the dragons and their armies take to the skies against Qualinesti. My father, the Speaker of the Suns, sent me to find Tanthalas to come and assist us in this quest. It was rumored that he was here in Palanthas and that he was with some strange people that had powers that rivaled the mages of Krynn."

"So how far is this Pax Tharkas?" asked Harry. "We need to be able to get there quickly and quietly if we are going to save these people. We are also going to need to be able to have a place for them to go once we get rid of the dragon army in residence."

"What about here in this city?" Luna asked. "We can always send them here. It will be a long trek across open ground, but they will at least be safe in this area as our numbers here are stronger."

"We can always appeal to the Lord of Palanthas," agreed Harry. "That useless lump of dragon shit isn't doing much but making himself look good. He is like another Cornelius Fudge. He says loads and doesn't do anything about it. We are the ones that are protecting this city and he is taking the credit for it. It makes me sick to think that he could sell out this city at any given time."

"Why not just remove him from power?" asked Gilthanas. "If he is that useless, then take it from him. It doesn't take much to remove a figure head when he is not using his power to benefit the populace."

"It is rather easy to just Obliviate him and make him step down," said Amelia. "Morally that is wrong, but he is a muggle after all. Either that or we dig up some dirt on him and get the populace to run him out of the city."

"I would rather do it legally if you get my meaning," said Harry. "Let's just get some bad publicity on him and run him out of town. That way, the populace can see that it is really us that are running the show. The city guard and the knights of the city already answer to you and Kingsley. The citizens already know that it is because of us that many thieves and other miscreants are no longer running around. I personally shut down the thieves' guild. It was easy to do that. The Lord even refused to do anything about it. Hermione was able to create a spell that was able to keep all kender away from this city."

"I will have a team of five get on outing the Lord of Palanthas, so that we can get one of us in power for this city," said Amelia. "What are we going to do about this situation regarding Pax Tharkas?"

"I think a team of us should go," said Harry. "The more support we have the better. We have finished with the Tower of Daltigoth, so we still have the last tower to deal with. The mages have agreed that we can take our time with that as there is no real rush. To be perfectly honest, I do not like staying in this tower all the time. The trees are not giving us the freedom that I would normally enjoy. If there was another place that we could take up residence that would make our lives easier I would take it in a heart beat. While I like this tower, I just can't seem to get comfortable in it."

"First things first," said Severus. "Who are we going to send to Pax Tharkas?"

"Let's think this through carefully," said Harry. "I for one will be going. I am the best at DADA."

"You are very adept in that subject," said Kingsley. "You easily match us in that department."

"I have been reviewing your test scores in your other subjects as well," said Minerva. "You and Hermione are the top in every single subject."

"Ok here is the plan then," said Harry looking around. "Amelia, Amos, Seamus, Raistlin, Bill, and Filius will look for information of wrong doings by the Lord of Palanthas to get his arse out of power. Amelia, I want you to lead the exposition on that. Tasselhoff, because you are able to get into places that are not easily accessible to most, I want you to join that team. Just don't lose your medallion, or you will find yourself outside the city gates with no way of returning."

"You got it Harry," said Tass happily. "I will get right on it."

"Aunt Minerva, Andy, Ted, Dora, Mary, Oliver, Caramon, and Poppy, you will join Justarius and Ladonna at the Tower of Losacrum so that we can do what we said and start repairing that tower. I am sure that one of the tower mages can create the portal from this tower to the location."

"We will get right on it," said Minerva gathering her team. "We will have it done within a few days at the earliest."

"Just don't overdo it," warned Harry. "Make sure that you bring loads of Pepper Up potions and such for fatigue. I don't want anyone getting hurt. Daphne, Dean, Cho, Mary, and Pomona will help Riverwind guard the portal and such."

That got nods all around as the team went to work.

"Tanis, Sturm, Cedric, Uncle Severus, Remus, Draco, Hermione, Rufus, and Charlie will come with me to Pax Tharkas," he said. "We will need a satchel with loads of healing potions and such in them as well as pain relievers and other potions for the journey. Gilthanas will need to come with us as he knows where we are going."

The group all gathered together.

"Goldmoon, I need you to lead an expedition to see about getting us a location that is not within this tower," said Harry. "I want us out of here at the earliest conceivable time."

"What about the High Clerist Tower?" Sturm asked. "I am sure that Lord Paladine will grant you and your group permission to live in the tower. It will also give us more area to work with. There are no magical groves to surround the area and it is the last place before the actual city to stop the dragon armies from approaching this area from that direction."

"That is fine with me," said a voice from the air. "As my cleric, you have my blessing to move into that tower with your family. It is plenty big enough to house all of you. This way, my son and his cousins can have their tower back."

"It is settled then," said Harry. "Goldmoon I need you to take a group of people to examine this tower. Griphook I need you, Dobby, and Kreacher to go with her as well as Neville and Blaise."

"Of course," said Goldmoon. "We will head out in the morning. The tower is just about a day or so away. We can always fly there and be there within a couple of hour's tops."

"Thank you for doing this," said Harry. "Winky, I want you to come with me. Dobby and Kreacher, I want you to start cleaning the rooms there so that we can get moved in as quickly as possible. Justarius, I think for now we need to get the slaves out of Pax Tharkas and start bringing them here. We can see to their welfare after they are safe. If Amelia is successful, they can stay in this city and we can appoint a new leader of this city. Eight hundred more people in this city aren't going to hurt things that much. If some of them have skills that will benefit the city it will be more beneficial. We can always help some of them get settled between here and the High Clerist Tower."

Justarius looked to Ladonna who nodded her head in agreement. He then turned to Harry.

"I think that we can help out in other ways as well," he said. "Once you get them here, we can see to it that they get some of the houses that you purchased in the city. The tower will not hold everyone. We will have some of the members of our order working with your representatives in getting them set up. That way we can all concentrate on getting more done. As you have so many projects going all at once, it may be beneficial to you to just trust in us to do our part and let us do what we can."

"We will need portkeys made," said Harry. "Those of you that can make them, we need at least two hundred of them. We will use a sack with a feather weight charm on it to hold them. Use steel pieces. That way they are not too heavy. We will meet back here in an hour and see what needs to be done. Supplies will need to be purchased for the trip. Dobby, Winky, and Kreacher, you will be in charge of gathering what we need. Narcissa, you are in charge of the tower in our absence. Keep whoever is left here safe while we get things done."

After getting an affirmative, the groups headed off to do what they were assigned to do. Later that afternoon, the groups all gathered into their respective parties.

"Harry is it possible to get us back where we were when we first met?" asked Tanis. "That will cut the trip down considerably if you can."

"I have never done a side along apparition with that many people before," said Harry. "Let me get right back to you on that. I think if I take Severus there, he might be able to make a portkey to take the whole group there once he knows the area."

"Why don't I just create a portal to Newport?" suggested Par Salien. "That will save some time and it is easy enough for me to do so now that I know where you are going."

"From there it is a day's journey to Pax Tharkas," said Gilthanas. "We can be in Pax Tharkas by this time tomorrow afternoon."

"Not with us," grinned Harry. "We can be there in a couple of hours. We have faster means of transportation than that. Also once we see a place, many of us can apparate there in the blink of an eye. I know that I can. Now that I have the basics, I can apparate to any location that I have been before."

"The portal is ready," said Par Salien sweating slightly. "It will close once you are through, so don't worry about anyone abusing the portal and invading this area."

With that, Harry and his party stepped through the portal and scouted the area around the exit.

"It is so quiet here," said Harry. "Where is everyone? It is like this town is deserted."

"Many of the slaves in Pax Tharkas came from Newport and the surrounding villages," answered Gilthanas. "We are lucky that the dragon armies are not able to enter the boundaries of our homeland, yet. The entry ways to our land are not many and then they can be stopped unless they come over head on the backs of dragons."

"It would seem that not everyone is so lucky then," said Harry. "We should get moving. Time is of the essence here and I would like to get to Pax Tharkas before sundown."

Goldmoon and her group headed out as soon as Par Salien closed the portal. With the flight on the brooms, it did not take them long to get to the High Clerist Tower. Dobby and Kreacher started cleaning the rooms immediately. Griphook found a room that was good to use as a bank of sorts and began his excavation of the room and its connections with the ground. As Harry was intending to make this place his permanent home, he was determined to start creating the vaults needed to hold their money. Neville and Blaise set out to start scouring the perimeter for defense and such. It was a highly defensible spot that would serve well for what they needed.

They all met back together and discussed what they found.

"This place is awesome," said Neville. "We can use this place easily. There is a spot for us to grow regular food as well as herbs and plants for what we need. There is plenty of room for classrooms, dining hall, bedrooms, and many other rooms."

"This place is easily defensible," said Blaise. "It will be easy to keep the pass clear from here to the city. All we will have to do is set up some sort of defense traps that can be triggered if needed. Piece of cake to get the roads blocked in case of an invasion. A building can be made halfway between here and Palanthas and it can be the center for our organization. That way we can pay the slaves to do work for us. It will serve in two ways. We can build a few houses along the way and they can help us by growing what we need to survive. That way, what we can't grow ourselves, they can sell to us. It will give them a way to start earning a living and such."

"Good thinking Blaise," said Goldmoon. "You are unique in the way that you think. Let's head back to the city and we can let the others know what we found."

"I will be staying here to start working on some of the things that I need to get done," said Griphook. "If one of the elves wants to stay here as well to continue cleaning, then that would be great. We can always apparate back to the tower later."

"Why don't both elves stay here," said Neville. "That way they can continue cleaning the rooms and then they can come back later. The three of us will go back and let the others know what we found. We need at least fifty rooms cleaned and prepared. There is no reason why we can let some of the slaves stay here in the tower with us. We are going to need all the help we can get here."

With that, the trio mounted on their brooms and flew back to Palanthas.

Amelia and her group headed into the city. They went about their task with efficiency. They scoured the records of the happenings of what was going on. They knew what they were looking for, but it was a matter of finding it. One false reference and the Lord of Palanthas would not be Lord for long.

Minerva and her group went through the portal built by Ladonna to the location of the Tower of Losacrum. They immediately began to work on repairing the damage that was around them. Unlike in Daltigoth, the ruins weren't as bad and they were able to make better headway. Hopefully, they would not be disturbed like they were at the other tower.

Harry and his group mounted the brooms and headed towards Pax Tharkas. It was not long before the bastion came into view. They dismounted from the air and trekked the rest of the distance on foot.

"Why did we not just fly the whole way there?" asked Draco. "I don't like all of this walking."

"The bastion is guarded by two red dragons," said Gilthanas. "If we are seen, we are going to be in for a fight. I would rather not have to deal with the dragons at all if we can get away with it."

"Well how do we get in then?" asked Severus. "We can't very well just knock on the front gate."

"We can always go in disillusioned," suggested Harry. "That way they will not see us."

"That will help, but it will not be a total insurance policy," he replied. "The dragons and draconians will still be able to smell us."

"We can use the secret entrance," said Gilthanas. "That way we have a better way of getting in and it is more efficient and quiet. We could still use the disillusionment that Harry suggested."

Harry nodded at Severus who helped him go around and disillusion the party. Sturm flinched when Severus pointed his wand at him, but did not remark. Gilthanas was severely impressed with the magic performed.

"The rumors were true then," he said. "It doesn't take much for you all too just flick a wand and use magic. Follow me and we will use the Sla Mori to enter the bastion. It will also lead us through any underground passages that we come across. If you see any draconians, it is best that we kill them before they kill us. Be careful when you kill them, because even in death, they have the power to hurt or kill you."

"Not if we get them from a distance," said Harry with a smirk. "That is the best thing about our power. Unlike tower mages we can cast our spells repeatedly and from a distance."

As the group was heading around the base of Pax Tharkas, the gates opened up and a contingent of draconians marched out. There were about one thousand of them marching strong. Leaning off the battlements was an enormous red dragon. Harry watched as Tanis, Sturm, and Gilthanas paled and started to shake slightly. Gilthanas led the party away from the area and when they got to a small clearing, they found the entrance of the Sla Mori. Gilthanas opened the entrance and they entered Paz Tharkas for the first time.

They wandered through and met a group of five draconians guarding an area. Seven redactor curses flew from seven wands and the draconians died instantly before turning to stone. With a wave of his wand, Severus banished the evidence that they were there and the group continued on with their journey. Soon they came upon a room that had a throne sitting in it. Upon the throne was an elf. Both Tanis and Gilthanas bowed their head in reverence.

"This is the remains of Kith Kanan," said Tanis quietly. "This is where it was rumored he was put upon his death."

"Harry Potter Sir," said Winky pulling on his sleeve. "We is having company."

Into the room a gigantic slug appeared. Tanis and Gilthanas pulled their bows and started shooting arrows at it. Sturm pulled his sword and raised it in defense. Harry and Severus studied the creature for a moment. Seven stunners flew at the beast and it stopped dead in its tracks.

"A feel so useless more often than not," said Sturm. "No matter how good I am with my blade, they do not seem to need steel. Their sticks of wood are more powerful than the head of the mages."

"Well we knew that they were powerful," said Tanis. "They really don't need us for protection. They just need us to guide them through this world as ones who know the areas that they don't. Our main goal is to just watch their backs as we know the terrains better than they do."

Harry glanced at the body of Kith Kanan and noticed that the sword in the hand of the Elven king was glowing. He approached and the hand of the king lifted in salute and handed Harry the sword. Neither Tanis nor Gilthanas were able to speak. Both were stunned that the Elven King would give a human the legendary sword named WormSlayer.

"Do you know of the honor you have just received?" asked Sturm in shock. "That sword has not been seen in the world in centuries."

"Well I think now is as good a time as any for it to come back into the world," said Harry. "With all of the dragons around that are evil incarnate, this sword will come in handy."

"I know I should be jealous, but I am also amazed," said Gilthanas. "My ancestor gave you the sword. That is amazing."

"Well I am the only cleric of Paladine on the planet at this moment," said Harry with a cheerful grin. "Come on then. We have men, women, and children to save."

The group made their way through the throne room and into another door. There were huge chains hanging there. Harry was examining them.

"This is the fabled defense mechanism of the place," whispered Gilthanas. "These chains hold boulders that weighs tons to drop in front of the gates effective sealing off the entry way."

"I have an idea," said Hermione. "How about we release the boulders? That way no one can get in or out of the place except us. We just witnessed one thousand draconians leaving the place. Why not ensure that more can't come in? I am sure that there are other things besides draconians in this place guarding it."

"That is a brilliant idea," said Tanis. "Do you have something in mind that can cut through these chains?"

"Severing Charms," said Harry. "On the count of three then. One, Two Three!"

Upon three, seven severing charms hit the chains. A large booming sound could be heard as the boulders that were the defense of Pax Tharkas hit the ground effectively shutting the front gates. The group entered the next room and it was then that they noticed that both Harry and Cedric's medallions were glowing.

"The Royal Guard," said Gilthanas. "They are awakening. We should not be in here."

"Hush Gil," said Cedric. "They will not harm us. Harry is a cleric of Paladine and I am a cleric of Mishakal. See? They return to their sleep already."

Sure enough the movement behind the tombs ceased and Harry and his party moved onward. They entered another room and felt a coldness that was beyond anything they could imagine.

"The Royal treasury," said Tanis. "It is rumored to be guarded by the spirit of a dark elf. One scream and we will all perish."

"Alarmists," muttered Harry casting a Lumos Maximus. "Everyone always panics when they shouldn't. She is no match for us. How many times do we have to tell you that we are not from this planet? A banshee is nothing to worry about. Severus please cast a silencing charm."

Severus did as he was asked while Harry went on muttering about alarmists and complaining about everything. The banshee came at them and the seven people from Earth took care of her quickly.

"Who does this gold belong to now?" asked Harry. "Are you telling me that it has been sitting here all this time?"

"To be honest no one really wants it," said Gilthanas. "It is worthless these days. As you are the defeater of the guardian, I guess you could say that it is now yours."

"Winky would you please see to it that this gold is sent back to my special treasure room at the Tower?" Harry asked her.

"Of course Harry Potter sir," she replied snapping her fingers. The others just watched as the gold disappeared leaving an empty room.

"That gold can be used to help the slaves we are rescuing," said Harry. "I have no need of a treasure this size. It can be distributed to these people and they can use it to restart their lives."

"That is very generous of you lover," said Cedric with a smile. "I like how your mind thinks."

"Yes well," said Severus interrupting them. "Aside from Harry's generosity, don't you think that we should get a move on? I want to get this over with and get back to the Tower so that we can complete the rest of what we are trying to do."

Both Harry and Cedric blushed. Severus grinned at the two of them before the group moved on. It was not long before they came to the cells of the women slaves. Harry had Rufus and Charlie quickly scan the halls to make sure nothing was coming their way. From there, he posted guard while he and Cedric along with Gilthanas and Hermione went in to speak to the women.

"We are here to rescue each and every one of you," said Harry. "We are going to use magic to get you out of here, but it will take us some time. I know that you do not know me, but if you look into your hearts, you will know that we are the only option you have to get you to safety."

"How will you do it?" asked Maritta. "Many of us have husbands or children or both here as well. It is how he keeps the men working so hard. They would never do anything that would cause harm to either."

"Give me a few moments to speak with my comrades," said Harry. "I am sure that we can come up with a plan that will ensure that not only will we get you all to safety, but we will be able to free the children and men as well."

Harry and his group all spoke together in hushed tones with the apparent leaders of the women slaves. They would offer a suggestion and then see how the others would react to it. Of the thirty four women that were in this cell. Twenty two had children. It was agreed that those that did not have children would go to the Tower with Winky, Severus, and Remus, in a side along apparition.

"The key to getting to safety is to hold on tight and not let go," said Harry. "They will get these women to safety. While we do that, we need to know how many women in the cells next to us do not have children as well. We can get them to safety also."

Maritta led Harry to the cell next to theirs. Of the sixty women that were in the cell, forty had children. Harry debated about this for a few minutes trying to figure out what to do.

"Ok here is what we are going to do," said Harry. "We are going to get all of these women out of here."

The women started to protest, but Harry held up his hand for silence.

"Hear me out before you start complaining," he said. "We get you out of here first. Maritta and her women will stay with me to help us get to the children. Once you are out of the way, that is less people we have to worry about here. We will need someone on the other side to console the children when they arrive. Travel by portkey will shake the nerves of an adult. I can only imagine what it will do to a small child. We have twelve women already on the other side waiting for you. Please just trust me. We are doing our best to help all of you."

"We believe you Cleric of Paladine," said Janice pointing to his medallion that was glowing. "If anyone would tell us the truth it would be like you. I would like to learn the ways of the old gods."

"I am sure that Goldmoon will be able to teach you much of what she knows," said Harry. "She is a cleric of Mishakal and she is knowledgeable of the ones you call the old gods. I only know of them from what I have learned since I arrived. I want you to stay with me and I can tell you about what I know as we work on freeing the children."

AUTHOR'S NOTE – I will stop right here on this chapter. I have a long way to go and I don't want the chapter to turn into a whole book. I will update again soon. Thanks for following along.
