Here is the next chapter! I hope you will enjoy it!

Harry was furious, how could Brook have done this to him?! He screamed once again and smashed his fist furiously into the ground. He had returned as soon as the haze of confusion was lifted but the battle was already over. The Order had won and the city of Nature had a new flag waving in the wind above the towers.

Harry sighed; he had been here for too long. The Orders troops still patrolled the area for fugitives. Harry walked back to the clearing were he had left his zebra. The zebra looked up at him. It was a very intelligent animal, Harry was sure it was Brooks' own mount. He sat up and tried to steer the zebra away from the castle. He had never been a good rider and the zebra wasn't wearing a saddle but it was a very patient animal and seemed to understand Harry's wishes.

Soon they were out of sight from the castle, but Harry didn't know where they were headed. He had only been in the realm for a year and he'd never left the Endless Forest. He knew the names of the surrounding lands but they were unknown. In the north the barbarians lived in the land of Forever Snow, which didn't sound very appealing. In the south there were the deserts were the Order lived, definitely out of the question. In the west were the sea, Harry didn't know how big it was and he was not too keen on exploring it. In the east there was the land of Fire. Brook had once talked about his old master in the capitol of Chaos.

"Well I guess east then", Harry shrugged and the zebra made a noise in agreement.

Harry traveled for several days, the forest was not as thick as it been near the capitol. It was easier for Tiki, the zebra, to move and they had quickened their pace now that Harry was more comfortable on Tiki's back. Still, Harry now realized why it was called the endless forest, it truly felt endless. Harry looked up and saw the sky darkening as the sun set on a horizon far away.

"Let's stop for today Tiki", he said and caressed the zebra's flank. Tiki stopped and immediately started eating. Harry slid off and started collecting firewood. He stopped as he heard the sound of hooves. He looked around and between the trees, he saw a figure approaching.

"Who's there?" Harry called. He had succeeded in avoiding the Orders Troops this far, but maybe he was out of luck now.

"Not to worry young one, I mean no harm", a smooth voice answered. The man had a thick hood covering his face but Harry could see from the man's horse that he was not from the Order but from the land of Souls. The horse was pitch black with a red mane and a bone white horn on its forehead.

"Why do you hide your face?" Harry asked cautiously, even as the man reached him he did not take of his hood.

"Well as you see I am from the land of Souls so surely you can figure out why I hide myself from the light", the man answered with amusement. His voice was proud and regal; he didn't fit in well with the overgrown forest around him.

"So you are a vampire", Harry concluded and steeped back, ready to defend himself. The man chuckled.

"You say it like it's a crime young one, have I already not said I mean no harm? You simply must be from the land of Four Seasons. Such dull and prejudice people they are", the man mused as he dismounted.

"I actually come from the other realm", Harry answered following the man's every move.

"Oh! How interesting! I myself have never been there but one of my masters was, he could simply talk about it for hours", the man told as he quickly summoned a fire. Harry watched him in surprise as he soon had a pot boiling.

"Oh don't just stand there! Come here and sit, please tell me about all the interesting things that are happening in the other realm! I am Paskovich, what is your name young one?" Paskovich rambled as he kept summoning ingredients for the pot.

"Harry", Harry replied, still not moving closer. "I didn't know vampires eat regular food?" he added.

"Oh we don't, this is for you young one. Hopefully you will share some interesting information over dinner, yes?"

"Am I part of the dinner?" Harry said curling his fist, drawing power from the earth. Paskovich smirked and raised an eyebrow.

"Do you want to be... Harry?" he said Harry's name with a seductive and purring voice. Harry tensed and quickly prepared himself for a fight. Paskovich threw his head back and laughed.

"Oh young one! Do not fret; I have no intention of devouring you. You mortals are so easily frighten, assuming your blood all taste the same. No Harry your blood, strong as it may be, does not appeal to me. Also I have recently fed so I have no reason to taste you", Paskovich explained. Harry slowly approached the fire, still suspicious of the vampire.

As the night fell Harry grew more comfortable in Paskovich presence and told him of his mission.

"This Dark Lord of yours, is he immortal?" Paskovich asked. Harry nodded.

"Yes he made horcruxes and I am one of them", Harry sighed. The conversation was making him depressed. Paskovich chuckled.

"So old fashion! Horcruxes! Ha! Could he not come up with a better solution?"

"What do you mean? You think he should have become a vampire like you?" Harry asked confused.

"NO! Absolutely not! No one should become a vampire, it's very impractical. Everybody knows your weaknesses", Paskovich exclaimed with a frustrated frown on his face. Harry raised an eyebrow; he was going to ask about this later. But for now he needed to know more about horcruxes.

"So why are horcruxes so outdated?" he asked.

"Well they are so very easy to track and destroy, it's almost embarrassing thinking that the old realms most powerful dark lord uses such things when there are so much more secure things to ensure ones immortality".

"So how do you track them exactly?" Harry asked hastily, getting eager at the thought of soon being able to destroy Voldemort.

Paskovich seemed to think for a while.

"Hmm I can't seem to remember at this moment. It has been such a long time since horcruxes were relevant", he said thoughtfully. Harry seemed to deflate in disappointment. Paskovich chuckled at Harry's expression.

"You amuse me a great deal Harry. Why don't you join me in my return to Death City? I am sure you can get all information you need there".

Harry bit his lip, the offer was tempting but he could not just abandon Brook to the Order.

"I need to rescue my master, he was taken captive when the Order invaded", he explained. Paskovich frowned deeply.

"You mean to say the Order has broken the treaty of peace?" He asked with deep concern evident in his voice.

"Yes?" Harry answered tentatively, he had not heard of this treaty.

"Well then I must insist on you accompany me to the land of Souls, this can simply not be tolerated! We must send words to the capitols as soon as possible. The Order has truly steeped out of line!" Paskovich said in a stern voice.

"Okay", Harry said still a little confused. Apparently he was going to the land of Souls.

I was thinking that maybe Harry should have gone to chaos first but then... I love chaos but I think they are a little boring. They are mostly brute force and not much tactics. So now Harry is going to the land of Souls and he will meet my favorit Hero of all the games. Guess who? ^^
Til next time! Bye
