Previously on Dance of Fates:
"The Dark Lord stole dangerous weapons, keys to rule the world," Sirius said, not posing a question.
"Give. Me. The box... please," Harry said, with a dangerous and venomous voice.
"I will give it to you but with one condition," Voldemort said. "Your Blood…"
"you better leave this body... Azazel," she turned her eyes to the man who grasped her earlier, and sheathed her blade in a flash at his neck.
"Daphne, stop it." Harry said, jumping to her side, holding her face between his palms.
"NOOOOO!" Daphne shot her eyes, pushing Harry in the air, lucky for him.
Pinning Argai to the tree with her sland fingers, digging in his neck, inhaling his magic… "Where did your arrogance go?" She smirked.
A loud growl was heard from the ground.
Harry's eyes darted to the beast, he saw dark and large foot landing, crushing down the ground, dark as night scales and giant claw.
Moving his eye slowly up, his heart almost stopping, his throat dry, fear.
He saw a giant dark scales Dragon with bloody two heads.
A Dragon!
Chapter 29
Why does IT always has to be a dragon! Harry screamed in his mind, he took his wife in his arms and jumped away.
Small and big animals alike were running away to safety. Their efforts were in vain because no part of this small forest contained safety. They were faced with one tragic fate: death.
The knights arrived shortly, splitting in all directions, raising wards around the forest to keep the beast from leaving. Doing the best they can although they are aware that everything they did was futile and not helping their current situation at all.
Potiphar fought with no waste of time, attacking.
The lieutenant woman jumped in front of Sirius and Remus pulling them to the side smiling.
"Sorry to be late…we will take it from here," she smiled and turned to put on her armour gown, before turning to the beast.
Sirius gave her a long stare up and down, at the strawberry short hair woman, feeling familiar with the voice. She glanced aside at him with a grin.
"Long time no see Black," she winked.
"Save greetings to another time okay," Another man landed beside them, with a dark curly top hairstyle, holding a shield similar to aegis.
Sirius blinked a few times before he gasped.
Those two, Sirius's eyes almost popped out of their eyeballs, out of shock and amazement.
There were two people like them in the back of his memory, two he and James trained with.
"Charlotte Elsher… Larcen Gray…" he murmured.
Cadets of 1975 of the Knights
"TO YOUR SPOTS!" The man that Sirius called Larcen shouted to the rest of the Knights.
Some kept throwing curses and blasted attacks at the dragon with black scales.
Kou, despite being heavily wounded, showed the same fighting spirit and charged with all the remaining power he had left in his body.
Everyone followed suit with the same determination, refusing to end their adventures.
Daphne clasped her own mouth, trying to fight back her loud sobs. She was trembling hard and her legs refused to move. Frightened was not the word to describe what she was feeling, she was horridly terrified that all of them would possibly meet their end.
The beast, the self-proclaimed Dragon and notorious Apocalypse Dragon was their enemy. This situation is not nearly close enough to their battles facing demons and Argai, this was on a whole different level.
They can't even put a tiny scratch on the dragon's pitch-black scales. The dragon before them had put their greatest nightmares to a complete embarrassment, he, himself was the destroyer of humanity and all living things.
When the dragon burst his deadly roar, everyone closed their eyes and released their magic. But it was already too late when the deadly roar had reached them with a loud explosive sound.
Harry, who put Daphne in the farest place for safety, while trying to gather his thoughts of surviving the battle, was distracted.
The winds nor the ground were in their favour, it was supposed to be easy, in Britain weather was always gloomy.
Everything happened in a blur, Daphne couldn't seem to see right when everything was turning into oblivion around them. She quickly calls Harry with what was left out, to him.
"Ha.." Her voice could not reach him, nor was capable of saying his name.
"Daphne!"
She tried to use her remaining energy to jump to him and reach him at least. She was desperate to hold her husband one last time. She was almost there, with a poor attempt, her fingers stretched to his direction. Harry did the same but suddenly a boulder came rolling down his way and he hit along with it.
Her lips wanted to scream and call him, but all she wanted was him, safe and unharmed, her painful scream echoed in her ears.
She went unconscious, all negative emotions drowning her to another pitch-black world.
Harry saw as earth rambled and swallowed Daphne, Sirius, Remus as well, and the others as well...Kou kept trying to keep his balance... even other knights that appeared along with the dead ones…
Starting to fall under the ground, Harry saw Daphne dragged unconsciously.
He ran and jumped down the earth hole.
Despite the screams of warning from the others.
Using the speed, he reached for her and held her and his arm, while using the other hand to grip a dagger from his pocket.
To help him stop in the middle of the falling.
The spread and gravity made it difficult but Harry kept his strength all on the dagger.
Until they finally stopped.
"You okay?" He asked.
When he received nothing but a heavy nod he leaned and looked up "are you okay!?" He shouted at the others.
"Aye!" The others shouted from the darkness.
Harry summoned a broom and flew out of the hole.
"I wanted to be brave…" she sobbed into his chest, hiding her face.
Harry wanted to deny the anxiety he was feeling, no; the agony. Her words pained him endlessly
"So that's a fucking dragon." Exclaimed Sirius, as the others stared at the beast. Potiphar and the rest were currently trying to defeat the humongous dragon that appeared out of nowhere. The dragon with two heads.
"ROOOOOOOOAAAAAAAARRRRRRR!"
"Yep, we should just escape and let them do the rest," Sirius commented, until Another roar freaked him out.
However, before any of them could exhale in relief, the Magic surrounding the beast began to distort and grow smaller. They all gasped with horror when they realized what was happening.
The beast was eating all of their attacks!
In less than a second, it had completely devoured every last drop of their attacks. What's worse, he was still unscathed.
Everyone froze with terror. Nothing that they threw at this beast had any effect. On top of that, their fights with demons had taken a huge toll on them to begin with. They didn't have enough power to continue fighting much longer.
"Come on Daphne, stand up." Harry encouraged, pulling the witch upon the dirty ground.
For the moment, Daphne laid her head on his chest, she felt his fast and hard heartbeat beneath and was comforted. She clutched on his jacket lightly, it may be the last time she'll be this close to him, the love of her life.
Her magic was completely drained off her, and the blood did not stop, her injuries were getting larger and the burning didn't stop.
If she continued this way, she may fell into a coma again and this time only God knows for how long?
Lilith disappeared like a scared animal from her mind, after the battle.
And now she was on her own, seeking safety.
The two of them went back to their friends' side who fought along to stop the dragon from destroying the land.
"I'm sorry, I can't move my body" Daphne said weakly to his chest, her legs were as weak as grass.
"What?" Harry said shocked, before he patted her on her head and kissed her on the crown of her head.
"You have fought well, rest for now.."Harry whispered to her. "Harry, you have to leave this place now." her response was "No way! If you can't handle that beast, then let me have a go"
''No, it's too dangerous, you don't understand it at all" she said in response. "I can't win if I don't understand?" Harry asked, confused. Daphne however was only staring helplessly at him, "Please, do as I say."
""Harry! Watch Out!" Shouted Sirius in their direction.
Daphne with a heavy breath looked up to see the dragon and guardian of the temple, aiming his tail to attack them, with the only last of her strength that was left in her, she pushed Harry out of the path of the tail.
The wave hit her square in the chest and sent her flying into the furthest distance. The power of the hit was as strong as she ever felt, feeling her ribcage breaking within her body. Even though she tried to create a one last minute shield to protect her, it was not enough with both the shield and body, she heard the cracking of broken bon.
She could not control the blood that flowed out of her mouth nor the pain she felt as she hit the stone as she finally landed.
Like a bomb from the air. She never felt so crushed this was before.
Not even when that horrible night happened.
And then it completely turned dark to her.
All, shocked at the attack. Stopped in their tracks.
It was frightening.
Harry froze in its place for a moment, unable to adjust to the scene that happened in front of him.
"Harry! Watch Out!"
A broken boulder quickly shoot his way and he hadn't even registered what was happening. He was embraced by a person and pushed down to the side in a hurry. His body went numb.
The world became muted, the voices all disappeared and everything seemed slower in his eye, his...his… he could not say her name.
He was paralyzed.
"Harry! Go back to your senses! It's no time to stare and watch! We gotta fight that bastard for trying to kill us!" Sirius exclaimed fiercely, his eyes were impossible to read because of all the different emotions he's feeling. Anger, Fear, Concern, and Hope. Sirius slapped him to bring him back to his senses.
The life at last returned to Harry's eyes and rushed to his wife in panic, both Kou and Yan Lin were already by herside.
Kou wrapped her in his fur gently without breaking her like shattering glass, Daphne was unconscious from the blastic hit.
"Her ribcage is utterly shattered…" Yan Lin checked her and demanded to be taken to the safest area. "I can't do this here, We need to put her into the Last sleep to save her,"
Harry's breath caught in his chest. As he looked at the healer for explanation. "It's a sleep like a coma to gain strength again, at least, it was used once on–" Yan Lin stopped and moved away.
Kou glanced at Harry giving a comforting nod.
She waved her wand and A golden aura surrendered around the young witch.
Pulling her up in the air, Yan Lin climbed on Kou and the fox flew away followed by his side Daphne As if she was in a golden caterpillar.
Harry's fists tightened, biting his lip til it's bled... It was all his fucking mistake, if only he paid more attention to his surroundings.
'anger won't help her, child...but that beast need to be sleep,'
sleep? It needs to be killed!'
'death is not a solution to all the matters but in that beast case, do you want to finish it off,'
'Look at what is it doing!' Harry shouted at his magic voice.
"When she wakes up, I hope she'll be the Daphne I knew." Harry's eyes snapped open showing nothing but anger towards the beast " That's what I'll fight for!"
The other knights let loose their attacks, combining them into one incredibly powerful blast that scores a direct hit on the dragon. They all thought from the huge distraction, that they won, so when the smoke cleared.
"Dammit," Harry shouted as they saw that it had no effect. He jumped out of the way as the dragon stomped his foot down, shaking the earth.
"Mermanio de ...," the girl that saved them earlier, summoned a ghost in addition looking like a giant Virgin Mary in the air.
"Everyone. Attack at the same time!" Shouted Potiphar, as he required his sand waves to attack.
Even Harry compared to the Knights level used his magic, Remus and even Sirius and the rest of the warriors attacked together, barely scratching the dragon.
"SHIT!" Shouted Sirius.
"You! Runaway. Get out of here!" Shouted Potiphar as he grew into a giant, roughly the same size as the dragon.
"No way, Captain. We must stay and fight!" The girl argued back.
"That's right. As knights, each one of us is supposed to be able to defeat a dragon. And the fact that a quadruple dragon-slaying attack did nothing is unacceptable. We must redeem ourselves!" Larken shouted.
The beast with two heads roared and spun, sending Potiphar to the ground. He groaned and shrank.
The Knights scattered, as the beast used his breath attack. Harry used his wand and summoned a broom out of nowhere to him, but was overpowered almost right away, the breath attack sending him flying through a huge boulder.
The beast did a second breath attack, but this time the Knights did another combo attack., which caused both attacks to be negated. However, while they are distracting the dragon, the rest of the Knights have split into smaller groups as they try to go after the breast wings and belly. "Ice arrows live and fly !" shouted a man, blasting the beast with ice.
"telas igneas, sparge!" Another shouts, making a huge flame web appear above the dragon. The beast just flapped his wings and destroyed the net, as well as sending the guild members flying backwards. The beast then swings his tail around in a circle, pulverizing boulders, sending the big chunks flying all over the place. Now, most of the Knights members are either unconscious, struck by debris or too weak to keep fighting.
Harry cursed the situation, the beast of two heads was unstoppable.
And Daphne was not in any condition, between life and death.
Harry gulped, there was no chance that he would survive without blastic injuries.
But survival was better than death.
Skipping every wave and roar of fire from one of the heads, left and right on his broom.
It was as if he was playing quidditch, that what he kept saying to himself. Instead of a mad quaffle, a giant tail was the danger here.
Unfortunately distracted by the waves of flames.
He did not see the tail in front of him. It was an unguarded hit, making him fall off his broom.
Far away from the sight of the eye.
The female healers in the healing room were mending the wounds of Berz who finally closed up, as they used the antidote on him.
It did not prevent the fever after taking the antidote from hovering over him.
She wiped the sweat from his forehead, as it dripped down like raindrops on the leaves after it stopped raining.
In the name of the healthy healer, despite the power and magic that the healing soldiers possess, it is a supreme law for them to mention the healer that he is God.
Seeking And trusting in the treatment for their patients.
While they kept treating him. The old man dreamt.
He dreamt of his days by the side of the king.
He dreamt of the man that was his companion.
His brother and king; Dorian the raider.
Who United the forces of vampires and werewolves to leave in a peaceful truce.
Berz saw with him the glorious days of the wizarding world.
He saw in his dream the young Diane in the garden of roses where she chose to rest in her final sleep, he saw Eva as she gave him the tender smile. He saw in his dream his final handshake with Eros. Daphne who idolised him and respected him.
And he saw the boy who raised him as his own son. The same boy who stabbed him.
Argai Vasilian who Berz took the responsibility of raising him alongside Potiphar. They got orphaned at a very young age. And he took upon himself and brought them to the castle.
The man saw in his dreams all the people he raised and loved as his own. He does everything to make them happy.
It was a different fatherhood.
Even in his dream he wept for thinking that his kids were against each other while he was on the bridge of death.
Berz was the father of every brave, the comrade of a king, the hope of a child.
...
Aurelia stood with her handmaid outside the healing room were the head commander rested, with every breath she took, she prayed for his death.
Once she saw the healers leaving, she crawled like a silent snake, to the room.
Her eyes darted at the tools and towel.
She got to see the small vial of potion,and understood it to be the antidote. She removed from under her sleeve a small glass of potion to remove it.
With a fast beating heart.
She gulped as she gave a glance of disgust to the unconscious man.
Aurelia could not believe how this will end, he was one of the pillars that she couldn't remove from the castle.
Nor her life, even her husband couldn't let go of him.
What was so special about this old stupid man?
"Your Grace?" She heard a young female gasping.
Aurelia bit her lips, cursing her luck. She adjusted her pose and turned to her, with cold venomous stare.
The girl was frustrated and bowed her head."I am sorry but it was required not to let anyone enter, for the health of the commander,"
"Are you trying to dismiss me ?" Aurelia accused.
"No, Your Majesty, but it is an order."
"Order! I'm the final thing here." Aurelia approached the girl.
"What is happening?" Corvina walked in
"Lady Corvina, I am—"
"This girl says I'm not allowed to visit the commander." Aurelia snapped.
Corvina glared at her then at the girl, "Do you dare?"
"No madame , but HealerbYan Lin said that the poison is dangerous and can be inhaled, it is forbidden to approach for the health of the patient and others." The girl cried.
"Then why all the fuss is for Aurelia, the young healer is sacrificing her own health for us and you snap at her,"
Aurelia pursed her lip and then moved pass her,"I just wanted to pay him a visit,"
Kou kept looking with sad eyes at the condition of Daphne.
She was in a deep sleep while Yan Lin was treating all her injuries.
Putting her into The Last sleep, was something rarely happened, the last time she chose the sleep by her own choice, however this time, Yan Lin pulled her into a one
She tried to say something before she was put to sleep but there was no voice coming out.
Yan Lin felt her head gently and brought a flow of water to her lips. In her sleep she tried to take a huge gulp of water.
"Easy now. Don't drink too much at once." Kou heard the healer tell her. She was given a few more sips. The hand gently lowers her head onto the pillow.
"Potiphar and the others are fighting a beast..." Kou said, to Daphne. Despite the dark glares he kept receiving from Yan Lin.
Daphne was trembling. She was insanely relieved to hear that all of them were alive, but she was deathly afraid of the danger that was approaching.
"We have to do what we can to defend Iraq." Yan Lin commanded, trying to maintain order.
"The Dragon form won't be kept forever inside the wards, once the wards fall, it will be coming this way, and we're the only ones who can stand up against him." She paused for a minute, "If we fell, the king will come,"
Daphne wanted to open her eyes and tried to move but all her body was Paralyzed from the last sleep spell. If Potiphar and Harry didn't intervene she would have killed Argai and almost anyone else.
She wanted to bit her lip till it bled. held her breath, trying to ease her nerves. However, she couldn't shake the feeling that none of them had a chance to stop the beast. Not only did he nearly succeed in killing her by just its tail, but managed to kill the demons with little effort. And if what Yan Lin said about being able to eat all Magic was true, then there was not even a sliver of hope of defeating him.
What's more, Harry and the other knights were fighting it inside. and there was nothing she could do to help them. She had just gotten him back, and now she was going to lose him again. Just the thought of that made her heart hurt so badly that it was unbearable.
She won't let someone else she loved go again. She couldn't lose him again. Not for good.
"Harry..."
"Daphne."
Daphne gasped in surprise. It wasn't a voice she had heard before. At the same time…she felt like she knew this voice.
"What's wrong?" Kou asked Yan Lin, worried. Now that he looked human again.
"She may be dreaming of something" she took out a long cigarette.
While others struck towards the beast's belly. It hits, but does nothing. Potiphar shows up in the air, using his sand powers to form a hammer hitting of the heads, the dragon lost its balance and fell on the ground,
"Commander Potiphar!" Harry shouted as he flew next to his brother in law.
Potiphar stopped for a moment and looked at the strange warrior who served his sister-in-law
"I think I know a better way to finish it,"
Potiphar regarded him for a while. Soon however, they too were struck down.
So he agreed to listen to the offer.
When Harry explained his idea, Potiphar was angry at first but sometimes sacrifices were needed.
And the wards can't hold this dragon forever.
Harry went to the face of one of the heads to get its attention.
Using the fireworks spell that he learned from the twins a month ago... those two were brilliant, and he never thought that he would use such an energetic and funny spell in a condition like this one.
"Is he using fireworks!?" The girl in armour raised a brow.
The dragon ran straight after him, causing the earth to crackle at the heaviness of its feet.
"It's working!"
"What the fuck is he thinking!"
Harry saw the entrance of the temple at the sight and ran straight to the inside. Glancing behind him, he saw the head near the entrance.
"Nice," he smiled as he saw the head entering.
He spun around, facing the beast, who roared as it aimed a breath attack at Harry.
"I DON'T THINK SO YOU DAMN DRAGON!" Harry screamed, his magic's strength increased by a thousand per cent so suddenly as he ran at the dragon.
Harry knew that the idea was suicidal but meanwhile while the head entered, the entire body stayed outside.
...
The Knights jumped at the dragon and used magical giant chains to wrap around the entire body outside, pinning him hard to the ground.
Alongside the second head.
"What about that knight?" The vice commander Charlotte, rushed to Potiphar as they both looked at the gates.
In the beginning, Harry almost forgot why he was on the floor, he winced from the pain in his arms.
He fell badly. Feeling the bitterness of blood in his mouth, he spit it, gathering his energy to raise on his knees and hands, looking for his wand around.
Until he found it, not far away from his sight, slowly walking to catch it.
Everything was dark around him, and he felt like he was floating in a warm, bottomless lake. He didn't know how long he had been lying there when he heard the most beautiful voice that had ever reached his ears. It was soft and gentle and reminded him of a summer breeze. Harry could spend the rest of his life listening to this voice.
"Harry wake up." He was awake, why was the beautiful voice trying to get him to wake up when he was awake.
"Harry, please I just want you to wake up." The voice was begging him now, the voice was very close to him and whispering to him.
By now the darkness was giving away to the uncomfortable light and he was starting to feel pain everywhere in his body. Why in god's name was he in pain? The more the voice begged him to wake up, the more pain he was in.
He was starting to realize that he was indeed waking up, as the lovely voice was begging him to do. Now he didn't feel like he was floating in warm water. No, now he felt like all his limbs were made of lead and he felt like he could barely move them.
He could hear the voice even better now, he had heard it before, he was sure of that. But it was still as beautiful as before. The person who the voice belonged to had to be holding his hand, the voice was so close that it had to be the person whose voice belonged to the one holding his hand.
The hand was small and warm, he tightened his hold on the little hand and gave a low grunt.
He did his best to open his eyes, but it was slow work. As he opened his eyes, light stung his eyes and the pain was so great that he thought that his body was on fire.
'Harry.'
He froze, his eyes wide with shock. He knew he heard a voice that time. The voice sounded like it came from inside his head. It was a woman's voice, that much she was sure. But it only pulled him within the temple.
"Please, do not lose hope. You still have a chance."
"Who are you?" His thoughts said to the voice in her head.
"Someone who knows how to defeat it," the voice replied, her tone serious. "You are the key to putting an end to this terror."
"What?! Me?!" Harry froze in shock.
'child... listen, what do you know about dragons?'
'they easily gets angry,'
The voice chuckled 'and what else?'
Harry started to think for a while, remembering his last fight with one of the kind, only a year ago.
"I got an idea," he said 'i will help you,'
Harry looked hidden behind a pillar, with heavy breath as he looked at the wand in his hand. The wounds were not helping him, his clothes mostly were covered in blood.
It was a risky chance but the only one. So he listened to the voice with hope. And stupidity.
The dragon released its Magic, and it blasted in a blinding light. All the outside warriors became caught up in it and were sent flying in all directions, screaming and howling.
The dragon was trying to release itself from the chains.
'boy...you could use this trick once and your magic will be drained, are you Prepared?'
Harry did not think twice. Daphne was in a dangerous condition, his friends were out there.
He thought of something like a giant pillar or a giant sharp needle, he tried to find a way in the back of his head to create a thing.
He remembered a spell, Professor McGonagall thought them one in transfiguration.
And he cast it, loud and clear.
For Harry was surprised that the giant pillar or needle was controlled by him.
It hit the for right between the shoulder blades, causing him to roar in pain as he slammed into the ground.
His hope rose for a moment but the beast struggled to free himself. Fuck his luck, he needed more. They could not hold him forever, he needed someone like….the blade of his wife no… not that.
"Now What?!", another pillar appeared and fell straight into the top of the beast mouth, causing it to shut together.
Harry's breath hardened at the move. But his battle hasn't finished.
"Listen to me carefully," the voice saidcalmly, "the knights need you. They will call for you. When they do, I will guide you to them. But you need to be ready when they do. Now, do as I tell you. This is our last chance."
Harry listened carefully to every word the woman said, He started Walking east the entrance, he felt a growing excitement. He turned south, where the air grew sweet with the scent of blooming jasmine despite being in winter. He continued south with a heavy breath and a fast-beating heart, until he saw what he was looking at: a giant expanse of polished black marble. Moving onto it, Harry scanned the surface beneath his feet. It shined.
His eyes darted to the walls, and he saw statues of many men and women, in their glorious stand.
The last stand.
Within seconds, he found what he knew was there—several bronze medallions embedded in the ground in a perfectly straight line.
He turned due south this time, letting his eye trace the extended line formed by the medallions. He began moving again, following the trail, watching the pavement as he walked.
He heard the roars of the dragon but he kept walking down.
There he discovered the significance of the sacred path it traced.
He found a dead body lying in its blood, on the floor.
The priest… he assumed.
Harry gulped and hurried across the long corridor, he could feel his destination within reach. Less than a block away.
The revelations were coming now in waves. The ancient spelling of her... the tomb adorned with creative magic art. Now he understood the voice.
He broke into a jog, feeling a pull beneath his feet, guiding him, pulling him toward his destination. As he entered the long tunnel the hairs on his neck began to bristle with anticipation. He knew that at the end of this tunnel stood the most mysterious grave in wizarding history.
The first witch.
He could feel the air grow cooler. When he reached the bottom,
With a final surge of energy, Harry burst from the passageway into the familiar and came to a stop. Breathless, he raised his eyes, slowly, disbelieving, to the glistening structure in front of him. The long storey statue of a woman. Gleaming in the darkness.
He admired it only for a moment. He was more interested in what lay to his right. Turning, he felt his feet again tracing the Golden path, carrying him across the floor to
The grave of the mother.
There in the centre, resting against the grave.
A sword, a great sword, the length could be Four feet long and shine like ice when light reflected on it, but from far away looked like a dark smokey Steele.
Harry walked toward it and peered down into it.
He felt like Arthur grasping Excalibur that made him a king.
His eye was trained on what lay behind it. There, on the floor of the chamber. He felt himself awaken fully now to the thrill of unthinkable possibility. Raising his eyes
again to the Statue, he sensed the huge wings of the celestial spirit enveloping him…
There, directly beneath it, stood the tiny structure. Like the murmurs of spirits in the darkness, forgotten words echoed.
He understood the meaning of history at that moment, the meaning of magic.
The meaning of his quest.
He wanted nothing But to kneel before the bones of Vasilia the first. With a sudden upwelling of reverence, Harry James Potter fell to his knees. Despise the rivalry.
"You don't want this...do you?" Harry whispered, with pity.
He thanked her for leading him here.
"What's the Magic he can't devour?! Tell me, please!" Harry asked the voice
"Celestial Magic."
Harry caught his breath in shock.
That was the beast's weakness? Celestial Magic?
"The reason for this is because Celestial Magic is an otherworldly Magic," the woman explained. "The beast can devour only the kind of Magic that originated in this world or under it. Celestial Magic's power comes from another world. It connects one world to another, as well as time itself. Therefore, he cannot devour it, or any Magic imbued with it."
"I don't get it." Harry rose an eyebrow. "How do you know all of this? Just who are you?"
The woman became silent.
"To be honest," she said, "we will meet again and you will know who I am but for now focus on that evil thing!" The woman then became very alert.
"He's on the move!" she whispered fearfully.
Harry turned to the beast nervously.
"Harry, listen!" she said, her voice strong and urgent. "We don't have much time! While the beast is attacking you in the temple of time, the wards are weakening and he is going to attack the city!"
"What?! But that's where-!"
"The only way to save both worlds is by defeating it now! For good!" the woman explained. The moment the strange woman said.
"But I…" he hesitated.
The woman sensed Harry's worry and Gently, Harry felt as if someone took both of his hands and held them. He jolted in surprise. The hands were soft and warm, but also strong.
The thing that surprised Harry was the fact that the hands were solid at all. The last time he met people inside his heart, they were all illusions he could easily walk right through.
But not this one. This woman was a solid form, with the warmth of a human.
There was no way he could argue against that. He knew this woman was right. This was their last chance, and he had to take it, regardless of the consequences that might follow.
Still, he couldn't deny the growing fear of what might come, or what he might lose. Just the mere thought of losing anyone else to that monster made his stomach drop and his heart squeeze.
"Don't worry," the woman said, "as long as I will be with you."
"Okay," he nodded. "I will."
The woman lowered Harry's hands...
"Now go," the woman ordered. "Awake and end this once and for all."
His clothes were starting to become tattered, and the blood-stained from his injuries were painting back onto his skin.
"Wait!" Harry yelled. "I still don't know who you are! Who are you?!"
"Just someone who can help," she said. "But if you want, you can call me…"
At that moment, Potiphar outside the temple was struck with a powerful sensation. It was enough to stop him dead in his tracks. His eyes widened, and for the first time in a long time, he had an unmistakable look of surprise.
He looked at the entrance where the source was coming from.
This was a power that he knew all too well. He had felt it many times in the past. It was so powerful that it was enough to make even him shiver.
Now, he was feeling it again. It was way stronger than any of the previous times. So much stronger than it almost felt like it was a physical presence.
And it was close.
The moment the beast realized this, its face changed to a very dangerous scowl. He looked down at his right hand and curved his claws, digging them in the ground.
Trying To free itself.
The beast couldn't help it. raising his head towards Harry despite the pillar that prevented him from opening the giant's mouth and roared in a fit of rage.
"ARUUUUUUUUUUUU!"
Harry felt as if the Sword he was holding in his hand was beating alive, he looked down at it and the steel glowed brighter.
He felt funny because it reminded him of the Laser sword of star wars movies.
His regularly calm emerald green eyes turned a dark green, dark as the deepest depths of the sea. Piercing in the dark hall of the entrance of the ancients.
He let out a long breath before he turned to his fight.
This was his only chance… the dragon prepared to fire.
And Harry aimed the sword.
Daphne woke up with a startling to the sound of explosions. So nearby?
She glanced, despite her sore body, only to see Yan Lin smoking away.
'What happened?' her frowning eyes asked, she was still unable to talk.
Yan Lin kept her stare in the direction of the explosion.
'Help me up!' She tried to yell, Kou helped her adjust her posting, gently, like a broken glass.
"Look at you, you're recovering fast," Yan Lin breathed.
Daphne was trembling in pain under the hold of Kou, even though he was gentle as if he was holding a bird feather.
"Your bones are broken, rib cage broken, leg broken, arms...burned…" Yan Lin touched the wounded places, making the blonde princess fall in pain if it wasn't the hold of Kou for her.
'I can't fee him'' she frowned her brows at Kou, breathing hard.
Kou eyed her carefully, sad face.
Kou glanced desperately at Yan Lin, who examined the young girl.
"Her body apparently is still in the last sleep…" she paused,when Kou said nothing she sighed,"paralyzed,"
"I do understand,I'm not idiot, " Kou groaned.
"You're reaction said otherwise,"
She hated that look, unable to believe him, she gaped unbelievably, it could not be, her eyes darted at the giant smoke of dust in the air from the forest with frustration. Her stomach twitched in pain and fear, face pale. Praying for the safety of her love. She wanted to cry. Please God don't be that unjust with me.
Quickly a soft breeze came and kissed her cheeks.
"MY GOD," a voice yelled. "I am going to be feeling that for at least a (ow) week or two!"
Daphne's eyes darted hard, to the source of the voice only to see a grin formed on Harry's face, while Sirius was holding him over his shoulder."We did it!"
"We defeated him! Hahaha, bad move. Bad move." Sirius said, scolding Harry for moving. Who tried stupidly to jump in his body's condition.
Harry let go of his Godfather and kneeled in front of her, taking her hand in his, insuring her of his well being.
Yes, Daphne was bloody broken but his face as he laughed and the relief that overwhelmed her.
Fuck the pain.
Fuck the strength.
Fuck the entire thing.
Nothing was compared to this man's love, this man's smile.
'You idiot!' Daphne smiled at him.
"Ow!" Harry exclaimed in pain. But smiled and drew circles with his thumb at her wrist "We did it, shorty…"
For him, all the wounds, chase and fight was worth compared to having her in his arms, if it wasn't for the audience he would have kissed her at once. It reminded him of Hermione's hug after the tournament. He raised his eyes at the grinning faces. He could not hold the peace he felt, the joy within him.
Daphne glanced up at him through her still weakling, for the first time in hours. 'Yeah, you did,'
Harry stopped and his smile faded. Kou approached him, whispering to him. Harry's eyes widened and turned to her.
Harry did not need to hear her words out loud, just by the look and smile she was giving him, he understood.
"Wait," Harry said confused, "why are you down? Did you think I was dead or something?"
She said nothing, only smiling with her eye, Harry helped her, knowing her inability to do that. He smiled.
'I thought I'd lost you forever. But I didn't! You're here! You're alive! Oh god, I'm so happy you're alive!' she would say but truthfully, Daphne was happy to be able to smell him, it gave her peace.
Harry smiled tenderly before his smile faded away and was replaced instead with sadness.
Both Sirius and Remus gave each other a strong shake then a firm hug, celebrating the success of their mission, laughing.
"You have a good soldier, sister-in-law," Potiphar smiled.
Before Harry could even comprehend what Potiphar had just done, they were surrounded by the rest of their friends, if he should call them friends? all of them are so happy to see all of them still alive.
"Oh thank goodness!"
"Welcome back to the land of the living princess!"
"I'm so glad to see you're alright, Rhaenys!"
"What a huge relief, little Black!"
"Don't call me that!?"
"I like this, little Black?"
"Remus!"
"We were all so worried!"
"It's so wonderful to see you safe and sound!"
"Great to see you still in one piece, man!"
"Were you trying to scare us?!"
"Gihi! How is your body Rhaenys, still broken!"
"Cheating death is so manly!"
"I'll drink for that!"
"We must celebrate for you Dragonslayer!"
Between the laughter Daphne caught that and looked at Harry who chuckled weirdly at the comment, rubbing his neck.
'Dragonslayer?' Daphne frowned.
"This boy here was the one who finished the dragon," Potiphar patted his head, proud of him.
Daphne smiled before losing her battle with consciousness and caught blood, breathing hard. Yan Lin rushed to her, treating her again.
"It's over at last," Sirius took a deep breath.
"We wanted to be here first but we had to save the city first," Charlotte told him.
Harry blinked and preferred to stay quiet to the latest comment, giving a weak chuckle, saving the city. He glanced at the distraction that was left behind, if that called a salvation.
The epic battle that lasted for what seemed like an eternity. It finally came to an end with a massive Dragon Roar combined with all the knights magic elements.
But left an incredible distraction around, collateral damage.
it could be seen from across the continent as it wiped out the entire forest. When the dust cleared.
The sunset kissed them a kiss of victory as the dark clouds disappeared during the battle before they even noticed.
It took them a whole day with no notice, but it was over, that's what Harry told himself.
Smiling at the scenery in front.
Wondering what was still ahead of him, this was just the beginning.
Mission was completed and the sanctity were nowhere with them.
He made allies for sure today, but more enemies in return, the enemies of his ran away but at least they won what was important.
It's finally over, Harry could breathe in relief, at last... See ya soon
