Chapter 3:

Godly Protector

"How do we get out?!" Lily shrieked as the maelstrom raged around the room.

"I don't know." James said back.

Just as Albus turned to the door the shadows in the room drew together at one corner. Lily, James, and Albus stared as the shadows rippled.

"What is-" Lily was cut off.

'Who has called to me?' a soft male voice said.

"We have. My Lord God." Petunia said.

'We have heard your prayers. We will answer your prayers and more.' The voice said again.

"Get out of my house you wanker!" James shouted. "What right do you have to enter my house uninvited?"

The voice chuckled softly.

'I, mortal, am known as Nuitari. I am the High God of Migard.' Nuitari answered.

"You? You are the High God? Of Migard?" Albus asked, somewhat in awe.

"Lord Nuitari. We thank you with ourselves." Vernon said.

"If you, Lord Nuitari, and the others will answer our prayers. Then, as we have said, we are yours my god." Petunia said.

'Come to me, and you shall rest at my feet.' Nuitari said.

"Yes my Lord God." Vernon and Petunia said.

Vernon knelt to Dudley and picked him up.

"I will always love you my son. I will do what I can to protect you." Vernon said as he kissed Dudley on the forehead and gave him to Petunia.

"My dear son. I will love you for always and protect you to the best of my abilities." Petunia kissed Dudley on the forehead and placed him back down in the circle.

Vernon and Petunia looked at each other and smiled. They clasped hands and walked to Nuitari. Vernon and Petunia kneeled on the floor at Nuitari's feet.

"We are yours my Lord God. Body, mind, soul. In every way." Petunia said.

"Take us now my Lord God." Vernon insisted.

Lily, James, and Albus just watched, not really knowing what to do.

'Rise now and take my hands.' Nuitari said and held out his hands.

Vernon and Petunia trembled as they grasped their God's hands and felt his immense power. Vernon and Petunia disappeared in a dark flash. Nuitari glided over to Lily, James, and Albus and looked at each of them.

'You will be punished for harming what is my own.' Nuitari said and before any of them could move, had briefly grasped their biceps.

Lily shrieked in pain and ripped her sleeve up to see her bicep. There was a hand mark, white, on her arm and it burned. The three held their arms and looked at Nuitari fearfully.

"What did you do?" James asked.

'I have branded you.' Nuitari said and walked to Dudley.

Nuitari picked Dudley up by his biceps. Dudley gurgled and grasped at Nuitari's clothes, smiling. Nuitari kissed Dudley on the forehead leaving hand marks on his biceps and a kiss mark on his forehead.

'I name you Moon Torrent. I will protect you.' Nuitari set Dudley back in the circle. 'We will meet again.' He said to the room in general.

Nuitari walked to the corner and was gone, all the shadows were back where they had been, it was like the god hadn't been there at all.

"What? What just happened?" Lily asked.

"I believe that our plans have altered some." Albus said. "We hadn't planned for those wretches to have powers."

A yawn had the three looking at Dudley lying all by himself on the floor. They looked at each other and planned.

But they didn't plan for chaos.
