Chapter Eleven: Heart of Atlantis
It was dark when everyone left Levia's front yard. The seven young people landed in what looked like a round crystal room. The floor was made of white granite, with the walls made of crystal marble. If you were looking from the sky you could make out an attractive black dragon in the middle of the floor that was made out of black stones. The seven looked around in awe.
"This has to be the coolest place I have ever seen," Ron told them while walking about the room.
His friends could only nod. They all started to walk around. The King, Princess, and Lupin watched them with understanding. It wasn't long before Luna and Ginny both squeaked surprise and moved away from the wall.
"We're under water?" Ginny asked and walked back up to the crystal and looked up. It was like looking through an endless abyss that went on forever and ever. They could see all types of fish and different sea animals.
"It's so beautiful out there…" stated Neville to no one really.
"Where are we? Are we still in Atlantis?" asked Harry, who was just as amazed as every one of his friends.
"Indeed we are, Harry; welcome to the Heart of Atlantis," replied Dahaka, who walked up behind them and smiled.
"Now, I know that you could watch the ocean floor for days, but we do not that much time left, so if I could get you all to turn away from the crystal, and we can get started," he asked them with an understanding behind his voice.
The seven of them turned around, and from their faces it was evident that they didn't really want to. Reluctantly, they strolled over to Dahaka, and waited for him to say something.
"Thank you, know that for now I would like all of you to get some sleep, and then in the morning we will begin with one-on-one fights as well as team fights," he told them.
Hermione
raised her hand; the King smiled kindly at her and nodded, allowing
her to ask her question.
"Why are you going to teach us how to
fight when we—as in me, Ron, Neville and Luna—already know how to
work as a team?"
After she was done speaking, Hermione glanced up at Harry and Ginny and saw that they were staring at their four friends in awe.
"That is what you were doing?" asked Harry. He then immediately turned to Ginny and asked she had been doing. Harry's friends all looked uneasy and were unsure of what to say until Lupin stepped in.
"Harry, I believe that I can answer these questions," he said as he took a step in front of the young man.
"Now Harry, when you and your friends went to the Department of Mysteries, something happened to the six of you without you even knowing it took place," he said as he got back into his professor voice.
"The six of you," he said pointing to each of them, "somehow formed a bond that's never been sees or heard of before; this bond, in turn, started to change your magic into what it once was."
"What do you mean 'once was,' Professor?" asked Harry who was trying to understand.
"I'm getting there—now the old type of magic had three parts; they are called Bonds of Fenrir—which Ron, Hermione, Neville, and Luna have—next we have the Wings of Seraph which Ginny has—and last we have Flames of Phoenix…"
"Which is what I have?" Harry speculated.
"Indeed," replied Moony.
"Now, I have spent the last month studying each of your types, and so far I can tell you that the Flames of Phoenix allows that person to feel anyone that is in the bond."
"What?" yelled Harry as he started to feel as if he was on fire.
"I believe I can answer this one Mr. Lupin," stated Creda as she walked over to Harry and placed a hand on his shoulder to calm him down.
"Let's put it this way, you know how Phoenixes can easily find the person they're looking for, and have way to draw power from the person or people they are around?" she asked him with a understanding smile. He nodded, and thought about it for sometime.
"Are you telling me that I draw my magic from my friends, and if need be I can fire-flash like a phoenix can to get to someone that is in this bond?"
"Yes," she said, happy that he was starting to understand.
"Is it dangerous to draw magic from someone else?"
"Indeed it is Harry, you see from what I can tell from my study, the bonds of Fenrir act as a base—like a base of a pyramid—and on top of the pyramid you have Ginny's type of magic, and in the middle of the pyramid you have Flames of Phoenix," Moony told them, with a wave of his hand he did the same thing the King did for him when he was told.
"Now this is very important, so I must ask you to listen very closely," said Moony, looking into each teen's eyes, "let's say that the flame went out from within the pyramid, and died. If this were to happen, the magic that helps the flame grow wouldn't be able to go anywhere and soon it would start to lose its magic altogether, and finally it too, would die."
They watched as the pyramid crumbled to sand.
"Now this goes for all of your magics, if any one of the types die, you all will," he told them with sadness, and force.
Harry started to feel sick; he put his head down, and tried to breath.
"NO. If I'm killed by Voldemort, they will all die with me.""Harry, listen to me, you need to tell them about the Prophecy, it is the only way for them to live," whispered a female voice that he knew in his head.
"Creda?"
"Harry, let us help you, they are the only ones that can help you stop Voldemort."
"I don't know if I can do this…" he thought to her.
Harry started to cry now, it was a soft cry—one that he would do when he was upset. As the tears hit the floor, the black dragon on the floor started to flash.
"Human!" exclaimed a booming voice that echoed through the room.
Everyone except Creda, the king, and the princess started to glance around the room.
"What was that?" asked Hermione with a little worry in her voice.
"I think it sounded like a dragon," replied Luna with her dream-like voice.
Hermione just stared at her with a what-the-hell look. The next thing that everyone knew was that Harry was on the floor, screaming. Creda was just watching him. She then turned to everyone and told them all to stay where they were. Ginny on the other hand was about to draw her wand and curse her. When she felt something on her shoulder she turned to see Carbuncle shaking its head. Ginny moved her hand away from her wand and waited to find out what was going on.
The black jewels that made up the dragon in the floor started to glow. Then five unusual jewels came off the dragon and moved around the room like little snitches flying around. The jewels started fluttering around Ron, Luna, Ginny, Neville, and Hermione. Then they flew right into the side of the crystals. As the jewels hit the crystal walls, five different doors appeared with what looked like different stone-carved animals on them.
"I was wondering when they would show themselves," mused Kaida, walking over to each door. By this time, Harry had stopped screaming and was trying to stop his head from pounding. Creda was next to him, trying to make sure that he was right.
As if it was calling her somehow, Luna walked up to one of the doors, one that had a Pegasus carved on it. She put her hand up to the door and it started to glow like the dragon had.
"Young one, do you wish to be with your friends?" asked a dream-like voice in her mind.
Luna then fell to the ground screaming, and soon Neville, Ginny, Ron, and Hermione were identical. Harry glanced around; he knew what was going on. He was sitting down now—his face covered in beads of sweat. He gazed up Creda and smiled a little. She smiled back. She offered her hand to help him up, and he happily took it. He then turned to his Professor, who looked like he had an idea on what was happening.
"Professor, don't worry, they will be fine in a little while," Harry told his Professor with a calm and understanding voice.
Remus just looked at the boy and then noticed that his eyes were all black.
"Harry?" he asked with a little worry in his voice.
"Mr. Lupin I believe I can help you understand," replied with Creda, who was now walking up to him.
"If you would, my Ms. Rose"
Creda smiled kindly at him, and began to enlighten him by telling him that each of the six children was making a bond with a Magical Creature that was in their soul.
"So, could I ask how you know so much?" asked Moony.
Creda smiled and closed her eyes. When she reopened them they were a golden-red color.
"This is my bond color with the Creature that saved my soul from my past self," she said as she turned around and glanced up at the abyss. A small tear fell from her eyes.
Harry watched her and knew that she would be all right in time; his eyes went back to their attractive emerald color. He could feel his friends getting better. He couldn't hear their screams anymore, but they were still lying on the floor. He then walked over to Luna and bent down, put his hand on her arm and closed his eyes. When he reopened his eyes, he saw Luna and her magical creature talking. It was a Pegasus. This beautiful four-legged winged horse was Luna's Atlantis Guardian.
"Luna, are you alright?" he asked a little worried, but with understanding in his voice.
Luna turned to him and smiled.
"Harry, is this what happened to you?" she asked in her all-so-dreamy voice.
Harry smiled at her and laughed little.
"Same old Luna," he thought.
"Yes, Luna, I see that you got the Pegasus."
"Oh, yes, isn't it lovely!" she said oh so dreamily.
"Yes, it is Luna, but you need to leave now, we have to wake the others," replied Harry with an understanding voice.
Luna nodded, petted her guardian, and then walked over to Harry. He held out his hand and she took it with a happy smile.
"I'm very happy to be your friend Harry. And don't worry; I won't let anything happen to you or to any of my other friends," she told herself as she opened her eyes and saw Harry helping her up.
"Now, Luna, who would you like to get up next?" Harry asked as he pretended to think of which of his friends he wanted to wake.
Creda laughed at him, and that put a bigger smile on his face. He then turned to his blond friend.
He could tell that she was laughing from the way her eyes were gigantic and seemed to have a chuckle in them.
"I think Ginny should be next, then Neville, then Hermione, and last Ron."
As they both bent down next to Ginny, he asked her why Ron last, and she just told him that his guardian was going make him laugh very hard. This put a very amused look on Harry's face. Then they both put their hands on Ginny's arm and did the same thing that Harry did to find Luna.
What they saw was a fire-like creature that was on four legs. It had brownish-red fur and was very big. They walked up to it and Ginny. Ginny turned to them, and then back. Luna walked over to her best friend and gave her a hug. Ginny smiled at her and then at Harry.
"So, what do you have?" asked Harry.
"It said that its name was Ifrit—a fire demon," replied Ginny who looked over-pleased.
"It fits you perfectly, with your fury," replied Luna dreamily.
Harry could only nod; he hadn't seen her fury, but if it was anything like Creda's he didn't want to see it. Harry then told them that they needed to go. Ginny petted her guardian and left with her friends. Next, they went to Neville and found out that he had a Cerberus, and was very shocked but happy. When they got to Hermione, they had to push her out of her mind to wake up because she couldn't stop asking her guardian—which was a Hydra—questions. As the five young ones walked over to Ron's body, Luna couldn't keep herself from giggling.
"Why are you giggling Luna?" asked Neville with smile on his face, he loved to hear her laugh, it always made him happy.
"Ron is not going to be very happy about his guardian," she replied with an all-knowing voice.
Hermione was just looking at Luna as if she'd lost it.
"What is Ron's guardian?" asked Ginny who was bent down with everyone else.
"A Chocobo," she said dreamily as they all went into his mind.
They found Ron just staring at the big golden-feathered bird with a what-the-hell look on his face.
Harry walked up to his best friend and put his hand on his friend's shoulder.
Ron, are you alright?" he asked with some worry and also not trying to laugh.
Ron turned his head a little toward his friend.
"Harry, what is that?" he asked pointing at the gigantic bird in front of him.
"It didn't tell you what it was?"
Ron nodded and told him that it said that it was his guardian. Harry just nodded.
"But what is it?" Ron asked again.
"It's a Chocobo, they like to move around and eat a lot," replied Luna as she walked up to the big bird and hugged it.
"It can't be, Luna. Chocobos are not real," replied Hermione as she stepped forward. Luna disagreed and they started to clash again. Ron and Neville just gave each other a knowing look and took Ginny and Harry a little ways away from them.
"Man, when did my best friend get a back bone?" asked Ginny, as Harry just shook his head.
"After the first time that they had to work together in the Ifrit forest," Neville told them.
"I'm going to have to go with Luna on this one, and say that it is whatever she said it was," Ron told the others.
After awhile Harry had about had it with their fighting, so he walked up to them and put one of his hands on each girl and fire-flashed them out of Ron's mind. He then walked back to his other friends and smiled at them and they all left.
As the four got up, they saw Creda had an understanding look on her face, as did the King and Princess. Moony was just shaking his head and pointed at Luna and Hermione, who were still going at it.
"Alright, now with that out of the way, the guardians will help you six, and over time you will learn how to use them," replied the King with a very loud voice that ended the fight between Luna and Hermione. Ginny glanced over at Harry and smiled a little.
"Harry, what was your guardian?" she asked him with a little knowing smile.
With that being said his friends faced him and he smiled and he closed his eyes and reopen them. His eyes were black again. Then out of nowhere a huge black shadow of a dragon was covering him. When he opened his mouth the voice was Harry's, yet it wasn't.
"I'm this body's guardian, I'm known as Bahamut," it said in a very powerful and hard voice.
Then it was gone, and Harry's eyes were back to their real color. Everyone but Ginny, Luna, and Creda was shocked.
After awhile, the Princess told them they should get some sleep for tomorrow. Puzzled, Neville asked where they were going to sleep. The Princess laughed, and told them that the doors with their guardians on them were their rooms. One by one, each of them went to their room and told Harry good night; Ron told him that he could sleep in his room if there wasn't another room. Harry thanked him, but told him that his room was on the top floor. Then staircase appeared on both sides—one to the right and another one on the left. The King, Lupin, and the Princess took the left one. The Princess turned around and looked at Creda.
"Creda, are you coming?" she asked with a knowing voice.
Creda smiled and turned to Harry.
"I will see you soon, sleep well," she told him. Then she slowly and passionately kissed him, and then gradually stepped back. She giggled at him because he had a very shocked face. Slowly turning away, she saw Ginny, who was looking like she was about to kill. Creda smiled all-knowingly at her and thought with a song-like voice, "Just wait, Ginny, you soon will understand what I have planned for you."
The message was sent to Ginny's mind and when a shocked look fell on her face, Creda strolled over to the Princess and they walked upstairs to bed.
There were only three people left that were in the main room. Harry was still just shocked at what had happened. For the life of him it felt like he was kissed by Ginny, but it wasn't Ginny who kissed him, and he had never been kissed by Ginny. It was very weird. Ginny was just as shocked as he was. Carbuncle walked around her and then it went to her room. Ginny gazed over at Harry and saw something that shocked her even more; he appeared to be confused, like he didn't understand what had just happened. She started to move, when her fire guardian spoke to her.
"Young one, now is not the time—sleep would be better for the time being," it said with a wise voice.
She just sighed and followed Carbuncle into her room, wondering what would happen next.
The other person was Luna, who was just watched the whole thing, and she seemed to be very happy and understanding about what was going on. She was about to walk over to Harry and ask him if he was alright, but, like Ginny, her wing guardian told her the same. So she bid Harry a good night and then walked into her room and fell asleep.
Harry stayed there for some time, until he heard a loud "grrr" in his head.
"I know that, Bahamut, right now we can't beat Voldemort, and I still need to tell them that they are friends with the person who has to kill him."
He heard another grrr and smiled.
"I know Bahamut, it's time," he said and then walked up the stairs and into his room.
