Chapter Thirty-Nine
"Come seek us where our voices sound,
We cannot sing above the ground,
And while you're searching, ponder this;
We've taken what you'll sorely miss,
An hour long you'll have to look,
And recover what we took,
But past an hour — the prospect's black,
Too late, it's gone, it won't come back."
I rose out of the water with a slight frown as I closed the golden egg. I recited the words over and over in my head while setting the egg down outside of the bathtub. I followed moments later and dried off before sending the egg back to it's place in my pocket space. I walked out of my bathroom and into my room before heading over to my desk. I sat down and quickly wrote out a note before summoning a phoenix. The phoenix appeared and I quickly handed it the note before saying, "Give that to Fleur Delacour please. She'll need to see it as soon as possible."
The phoenix trilled before bursting into flames. I settled down in my chair and propped my head on my hand as I tried to figure out the riddle. It's obviously the merpeople in the lake, but the thing is, what could the founders be playing at? The only items in my possession that I would miss badly are my jacket, Onmyo, Black, my necklaces, the sash Shanks gave me, the little items I've gotten for presents like my invisibility cloak even if I don't need it. Sure I have those things, but I can easily summon them with my power if need be, so what are they playing at? I sigh softly just as I heard the door open. I turn my head and smiled upon seeing Law. He looked at me with a raised eyebrow and set Kikoku against the wall while asking, "What are you thinking about?"
"I found out what the eggs message was," I answer causing him to nod, "But..."
"But you can't figure out what it means," He finished for me causing me to nod.
"Yeah," I sighed deeply, "I really hate it when Wizards try to be logical,"
"What's the message?" He asked while taking off his jacket and his hat.
"The message is more of a riddle," I inform him before taking a deep breath and reciting it, "'Come seek us where our voices sound,
We cannot sing above the ground,
And while you're searching, ponder this;
We've taken what you'll sorely miss,
An hour long you'll have to look,
And recover what we took,
But past an hour — the prospect's black,
Too late, it's gone, it won't come back.'"
Law frowned before muttering, "It sounds like they're going to take someone you love."
Upon hearing that, I growled deeply as Tundra rose up, "Find them. Kill them! No one takes what's ours!"
I was agreeing with her on this matter. No one tried to take what was mine without getting chunks taken out of them. I smile cruelly at that thought. Oh that's if they didn't die first! I almost lost myself in my thoughts of blood shed when Law's fingers trailed across my marks. My attention snapped to him immediately and suddenly I noticed that the room was starting to ice over. I blush slightly and quickly will the frost away. Law ran a finger across my mark again causing my eyes to close slightly in pleasure. He murmured, "While it's hot when you're angry, I don't think you want to ice over your room."
I hum in acknowledgement, "Yeah..."
"Kaileara-ya," I look him in the eyes when he took his hand away, "What are you going to do?"
"I..." I trailed off before realizing just how hard it's going to be to protect my Nakama when we're at the school during the next week since the next task was in a week, "Shit..." I groaned softly and lean forward to press my face against his chest, "I'm in a fucking bind,"
"We'll think of something," He assured me.
"I hope so," I mutter and leaned heavily against him, "Can we sleep first?"
He chuckled and easily picked me up from my chair. I allowed it with a tired sigh. The potion was still affecting me due to the fact I had not one, but two diffrent gods in my blood. It would only take maybe another day before I was alright, but it was still a daunting thought of it still affecting me.
Time skip End of week
I smiled as I walked into the great hall bright and early Saturday morning. I felt confident that I had kept my Nakama safe from being touched by the idiots in charge of the event. I plopped down across from Daphne and smiled at the blonde before I began to eat. I had just finished when Draco came running in. His face pale and I realized with a start that I had yet to see Luna. With panic gripping my heart, I shot up from my seat and ran out of the great hall. I ran up the stairs and while ignoring the calls after me. Tundra rose up and shouted, "Damn it! We failed Fea Child!"
"I know!" I shouted back at her as I climbed up the stairs, "We should have left someone to watch her!"
"Fucking hell," Tundra howled as I stopped in front of the portrait and said the password.
"I'm going to kill them if it was that bearded bastard that did this," I hiss darkly both out loud and in my mind.
Tundra growled in agreement as we ran into Luna's room. My heart sank upon not finding her and without a thought, I transformed into my wolf form before howling. Rage, anger, resentment, and many other emotions swirled through me as I howled. My mind was stuck in a perpetual wheel of those emotions as I thought of Luna. Failure rang through my mind and my need to kill someone rose up. I stiffened when I felt a hand on my shoulder and shuddered slightly as my anger hazed eyes met those of Makino. My anger slowly fled and she murmured, "Draco told me what happened. You can't lose yourself to anger. Wait until after you have her back in your arms."
I nodded as I shifted back into my human form. Makino wrapped me into a hug and I leaned into her embrace. I murmured softly, "I failed to protect her Mama. I failed her..."
"You didn't fail her," She murmured in reply, "You may not have watched over her enough, but if you save her, you will not have failed her," She moved away to smile at me, "Save her Kaileara. She's waiting for you,"
I nodded in determination and she smiled. We walked out of the room and met the others. They looked at me and I growled, "They took Luna. I'm going to get her back. If Dumbledore is responsible for this, I will reveal our secret as I kill him. No one takes my Fea child. NO ONE."
"We'll support you," Tracy smirked at me causing me to nod.
"Not as subtle as I would have wished, but it's as good a time as any," Daphne commented.
"No one is allowed to take our little sister," The twins chorus as their eyes glittered darkly, "We'll help you kill them,"
"While Luna may be fucking annoying," Hermione said as her eyes narrowed, "She is our little sister and Nakama,"
"If you think we'll let you leave us out," Blaise gestured between Neville and him, "You got another thing coming,"
"I'm bound by my honor to save her," Susan said, "But since that's your job, I'll be happy to help kill Dumbledore,"
"I'll heal you up after you're all done," Hannah said causing me to smirk.
"No one takes my mate," Draco added as his eyes glowed darkly, "Save her Kai,"
I nodded before turning, "Let's get going then."
Gods P.O.V
They landed on their various forms of transportation and were met by the founders. They were led quickly over to the stands where a group of screens sat ready to show the champions journey through the challenge. Zeus and Odin nodded to each other before Zeus looked over at the champions. He turned to Godric and asked, "Where is Kaileara Ashferd?"
"I don-" The founder began when suddenly the air grew tense.
The crowd turned as one to see Kaileara walking towards them with her group behind her. In addition to the students, a green haired woman, a hawk eyed man, a giant of an old man, and a one armed red haired man walked with them. The group paused and Kaileara's eyes scanned over them, paused, and her lips thinned. She turned and muttered something they couldn't hear before walking straight over to the other champions. The group she had traveled with walked over and sat down in the stands. Hermes looked them over before looking at Kaileara, "This will be interesting."
"How so?" Thor asked the man.
"Kaileara's pissed," Hermes answered as he looked at his old friend, "Most wouldn't see it, but if you actually knew her, you could tell she's angry,"
"And not the I'm-going-to-kill-you kind of angry," Apollo asked.
"It her I'm-going-to-torture-you-with-a-smile-on-my-face-before-killing-you angry," Eris added with a grin, "I wonder which of these idiots did it,"
"You can tell?" Loki asked while eyeing the three.
"She was a close friend to the three of us," Hermes answered.
"It's starting," Hecate pointed out just as a cannon went off.
Kaileara P.O.V
I waited as the other champions jumped into the water before taking a deep breath. I ignored the commentary about what I'm doing as I took out my wand and mimed wand movements. With a deep breath, I used some of my light aligned devil fruit to flare around me as I transformed into a small version of my Lunar dragon form. I heard gasps as the light disappeared. With a roar, I dove into the lake. I swam quickly through the water as I used my connection to Luna and my past knowledge of the merpeople's village to guide me. I paused however when I saw her being attacked by the grindylows. With a low growl, I sped forward and wrapped my body around Fleur as I sent out a pulse of electricity. The beasts screeched in pain before disappearing back into their nest. I quickly returned to swimming towards the Merpeoples village as I let go of Fleur. She looked at me in shock before smiling in thanks. I nodded to her and we swam on. We were quick to reach the village and I scanned over the captives as we reached them. I recognized all save for one. The girl was rather plain looking, but I guess she was Viktors captive. I chose to ignore her for now as I went over to Luna. I cut her lose and wrapped my body around her as I looked at Fleur. She had cut her sister away and nodded to me. With a burst of air under us, I shot us all towards the surface. In seconds, we were above the water and Luna began to cough. I quickly got us to the beach where Hannah was waiting. I shifted back and fell to my knees beside her as my magic reached out to help her wake up. I ran a glowing hand through her hair as I asked, "Fea Child who did this to you?"
She gasped softly as she stuttered, "D-dumbled-ore."
"Hannah," I hissed as I stiffened, "Get her all healed up. Get to the others and do not let her out of your sight,"
"Yes Captain," Hannah said before she began to work on Luna.
I stood as my body trembled lightly. Lightning sparked off my skin as I slowly turned towards the judges. My eyes focused on Dumbledore as I made my way towards them.
With the gods
"Someones about to die!" Eris said with glee.
The other gods were silent as they watched the girl walk towards the judges. They were amazed at the power she was showing off. While only a few of them knew about her being a pirate, even they were shocked at seeing her anger. She had always been polite and friendly when she was near them, but now, now it seemed as if the legendary anger of the female Ashferd was going to rear it's head. Hermes muttered, "No shit. It's about to turn into a war zone."
Kaileara's body was literately sparking with lighting as the area seemed to freeze over. With each step, the frost on the ground got worse and worse until it finally iced over. The world seemed to ice over as the very air became laden with frost. A deep boom in the distant echoed as clouds began to gather. The waters of the lake turned choppy even as the other two champions made it out. The most striking thing about this was the way Kaileara began to change. Her form seemed to swell slightly. Her eyes began to change into burning gold. Her hair spiked as her markings seemed to come alive. Her teeth changed into fangs as her aura seemed to literately cover her. Her movement became even smoother as her lips drew back in a snarl. Artemis gasped and murmured, "Wolf."
"A very pissed off and protective she-wolf," Eris grinned, "Oh which one of those idiots did this? I want to get a picture of their face as she tears them apart,"
"How the hell are you pleased with this?" Fenrir rumbled darkly while glancing at the slightly insane goddess.
"Easy," She answered, "I love chaos and this is chaos at it's greatest. Damn even I wouldn't have been able to think up a plan to make this happen," Eris chuckle, "Who woulda thought? All I needed to do was piss Kaileara off and give her a target,"
Kaileara P.O.V
"Kill!" Tundra growled as she rose.
"Together," I growled in reply.
"Of course. Luna is our cub after all," Was her reply.
I felt the slightly dizzying cloud of gold that had settled over my mind disappear. Tundra and I moved forward as one as we approached the judges. I growled deeply in my throat as Godric stood in front of Dumbledore, "Move Godric. He's ours to kill!"
"I can't do that Kaileara," Godric said as he stood calmly in front of the pale man.
"Why not?!" I growled darkly as ice gathered more thickly around me.
"Because it's part of our contract," He answered causing me to growl in rage.
"Fuck the damn contract!" I roar, "He's Harmed Our Cub!"
"Luna was not harmed in the process," Godric assured me causing me to growl deeply at him.
"The lake is cold enough for me to feel it," I glared down at him, "I demand blood!"
"He is needed for the rest of the tournament," Godric said causing me to hiss at him.
"He Must Die!" I howled causing Godric to sigh.
"Ms. Ashferd," I swung my head to look at Salazar, "I know that you are not happy, but now is not the time," I was about to cut him off when he held up a hand, "If you will allow it, we will set up a duel. You against Dumbledore. No one will interfere,"
"Will I be able to kill him?" I asked with narrowed eyes, "I know the way of your people. They do not like blood shed,"
"You will be allowed to kill him," Salazar agreed causing me to nod my head in approval.
"Very well," I nod to the man before turning, "I agree to this duel, but," I turned back to glare at him, "If we find that you are not truthful, our agreement is over and I will kill every single person that I do not see as innocent,"
He nodded and I walked over to my Nakama. We grouped together and headed inside without looking back at the shocked crowd. Oh this would have repercussions, but they would learn to not fuck with me.
With the gods
Eris stared after Kaileara with a pout, "She didn't kill anyone."
"She a beast," Zeus growled, "An out of control beast,"
"She is a wolf," Odin corrected him, "A wolf is many things, but protective and possessive mostly. The little blonde girl must be important for her to act like this if what I've seen so far of the girl is correct,"
"Father," Loki spoke causing Odin to look at him, "Her powers...They felt off,"
"What do you mean by off?" Artemis asked causing Loki to look at his once wife.
"Kaileara's magic felt more frigid then it should even if she has frost giant blood inside of her," He answered calmly, "The power she used to transform and to create that light was not magic, but something...deeper...older," Many of the gods stiffen as the next set of words left his mouth, "Almost like the sea spirit, Thalassa was using that power," He looked at everyone, "It felt as if I were staring one of her children rather than my own daughter,"
