So, I have many plans for this fanfic. If you would rate that would be awesome. This is a crossover between The wheel of time and harry potter, so If you need to brush up on lore from either book, I recommend both highly. enjoy.
Lan rose from his knees. The world around him was different. Much different. He reached for Moiraine, but could barely feel her and she was hurt. Lan started to make his way towards her. The environment paved with flat rock, filled in somehow and painted... Tall buildings and metal things on wheels seemed to transport people around. They all dressed strangely as well which was concerning. He stuck out like a sore thumb.
Gripping his sword, he made his way towards Moiraine. He would need to find a horse and quickly for his didn't make the portal she created. More than likely it was unintentional. He had never seen Moiraine use so much power at once. She was weak and hurt. He could feel her reaching for him. I must hurry, he thought to himself... Finally he came across someone who stopped him. A man, short with a grubby mustache and beard.
"Sir, are you alight?" He asked Lan, giving him a once over. Lan nodded.
"What is this land?" The man stared at him strangely.
"England? You are in London." Lan nodded but the man was more and more suspicious of him, or concerned, Lan couldn't tell the difference. He only cared about Moiraine in this moment.
"And horses, where can I get those around here?" The man pointed off in the distance.
"There is a farm just outside the city. They breed Arabians. You should be able to fetch a fair price." Lan nodded and pressed on, ignoring the man calling back after him. He must get to the horse so He could go to Moiraine faster. Hang in there, I am coming.
Moiraine awoke and jolted up in bed, followed by a wince. A stoutly woman with blond hair looked at her startled. Moiraine rested back into the bed, propping herself up with the pillows. "You must be Poppy." She stated bluntly, eyeing the woman up and down suspiciously.
"Yes. Severus told me of your ordeal. I was changing your dressing. I have something for your to drink, should help with removing the poison." She handed Moiraine a cup with a liquid in it. "It will taste horrible, but it will help."
She drank it and winced. It indeed was disgusting. Poppy giggled and Moiraine glared at her. She stood up, quite a bit taller than Poppy. "How long have you practiced healing?"
"About 10 years or so..." Poppy was a bit deflated. Moiraine stood up taller, head high.
"I see." She then made for the door, walking briskly and putting her boots back on. she checked her hair and noticed it unkempt. "I require a brush." Poppy handed her the hairbrush and Moiraine quickly brushed it out and made her way out the door.
"Where are you going?" Poppy asked while trailing quickly behind her. She knew that Moiraine would need more treatment. Moiraine still trudging ahead.
"That is none of your concern." She put bluntly. "You may follow, I don't care, but I don't have time or energy to entertain any of your questions." She began to climb out of the dungeons and Poppy left her alone. Moiraine smirked, Of course she doesn't have the guts to follow me. Moiraine reached out to Lan. She could feel him coming faster to her, He must have found horses.
She moved aside the double doors to see the outside, and the forest she must have come from. She made her way across the lawn and towards the trees. She must make it to Lan and quickly. They must find a way out of this wretched realm and back home, she had a dragon to find. She could feel someone following her again. It wasn't Poppy, she could sense it by the footfalls behind her, they were too heavy to be hers.
"Leaving already?" A sulky voice behind her asked. She recognized the voice as Severus's. She stopped and turned to him. He was disheveled attempting to keep up with her.
"Yes. I must find Lan. Too much to explain and I'm running out of time." Severus reached his hands for hers openly, not touching her, but mid motion he froze there.
"Please come back inside and at least have a meal and rest some more. You said Lan is coming already. He will come to you. I'm sure you will benefit from the rest." Severus implored. Moiraine thought about it for a moment.
"Fine. But then I will leave unhindered. He is maybe a week out at most. I need to find a way back to my realm."
Back in Severus's private rooms, Moiraine became quickly aware that Severus and Poppy's medicine she was being given was slowing the spread and giving her temporary energy, but the poison was still spreading, and honestly, quickly. They had bought her maybe a week at best. The pain seared her and she crumpled to her knees, gripping at the floor with her fingertips and gripping her wound with her other hand.
Severus helped her to the bed and covered her again. "It's getting worse isn't it?" Moiraine, lay her head back against the headboard.
"It's slowed the spread, but I'm afraid the only way I can be cured is by one of my sisters back in my realm. I'm not even entirely sure I can go back." Moiraine stated bluntly. Severus looked concerned. He knew there was going to be some major changes this year with Potter out there destroying the horcruxes. The Dark lord growing restless. He hoped she could get out before it's too late.
"We will find a way, for now rest and wait for your ward." Severus went to exit the room and stopped before turning back around. "I never did ask where your wand is." Moiraine looked slightly confused.
"You require tools to touch the source here?" Severus was also confused at this point. He realized that they were built different. Moiraine looked over to the candle at her bedside and made a few small fluid motions with her hands and the candle lit. Severus's jaw slacked.
"Impressive." He droned, giving a nod of approval. He made a mental note to ensure that the dark lord would never catch wind of this. Surely he would want her for his own reasons. Power, heirs, who knows. Severus held his wand out for her. She took it and inspected it, clearly intrigued.
"So, this is what you call a wand here?" She turned it over in her hand, tracing the intricacies with her fingertips before handing it back. Severus felt himself beginning to grow hot as he grabbed it back from her.
"Yes... I do have headmaster duties to do.. I just received word I am to take over the position, so I will be checking in on you later. You are free to use these rooms as long as you require." Moiraine nodded as Severus left the room. She lay back in the bed and allowed her mind to drift and her eyes to droop shut. She reached out to Lan once again... Lan, Where are you? I am poisoned and we need to get back to my sisters immediately. She thought to herself as she drifted back to sleep for some much needed rest.
Lan reached the stables that he was told about. He realized that the currency he had at the moment would not satisfy anyone in this realm and it was imperative that he got to Moiraine urgently. He could feel something about to happen. She was weak and he could feel her becoming fainter even as he got closer. He spotted the horses and decided to wait until no one was around to grab two and be on his way. there were several horses grazing in the pasture near the farmhouse.
He waited, and when after several hours no one came outside, he approached the horses with one hand raised and his fingers spread to calm them. He clicked his tongue and caught their attention. This would be so much easier with her here, he thought to himself. He caught a hold of one horses halter and mounted a fiery red Arabian mare. She was feisty and tossed her head, scraping her hoof against the ground in irritation. Had to pick the wild one, he thought bitterly.
He spurred the horse with his heels and it ran ahead, leaping over the fence with ease. He thundered on in the direction he felt her presence in. The closer he got, the more he felt her. She was fading. The poison would take her if he didn't get there fast. Lan knew he couldn't overwork the horse and Moiraine wasn't there to give the horse energy for the journey. He felt her reaching out to their connection. I'm coming Moiraine. Hang on...
