Things you need to know:
I have no idea where Rebecca and Arthur Hawkins live so I am taking liberties and putting them in the state of New York somewhere outside the city in the country in a brick mansion. The one I am picturing for them is the Grosse Point Mansion picture that can be found online and they use the trailer for traveling.
Detecting Magic: Rare gift great for curse breakers. They can sense magic, see magical auras surrounding a person, and feel the intensity of the magic user. Spell has to be invoked to work. Some people have all 3 abilities some have only one or two.
Chapter 3
Home Again…
As September crept up on the teens they packed their belongings to head back to school. Shadi opened a mage portal to take Seto, Mokuba, Yugi, and Ryou to Japan to finish off their senior year of high school. Atem, Marik, and the girls were sad to see everyone leave but knew they would see each other soon.
Samira had gone to Amarna to see the teens off because Isis had asked her to help catch Mana and Kisara up in lessons while Kaphiri and Rishid worked with the boys. It was a good opportunity for her to get to know her Pharaoh and a couple of his priests since she was to become their liaison for communications with the non-magical Prime Minister. Plans were already underway for the royals. The press had announced their plans and the people of wizarding Egypt were quite pleased with the anticipated return of the royal family.
Isis had almost immediately left Atem and Marik in the tender care of Rishid and Kaphiri while she returned to Cairo to do some work at the museum. Their school year promised to be intense with those two in charge. Marik and Atem groaned simultaneously with the schedule the two men came up with. On September 1st the boys got up early to get ready for their new school year. They started the day off by warming up before their combat session with Kaphiri grumbling all the way.
"I miss Isis already." Atem groaned as they jogged a few laps.
"With her gone Kaphiri is going to run us into the ground." Marik agreed as he slowed to a stop to begin his stretches.
"The girls got lucky most of their studying at this point is with Samira and Shadi." Atem said scowling as they finished their warm-ups.
Their combat training consisted of sparring against each other and their teachers with various weapons and hand to hand combat. Kaphiri was a brutal weapons master he wasn't afraid to batter and bruise his charges. The rest of their classes consisted of clan laws and customs, the modern world, modern Egypt, classes a normal senior in high school would take, and mage magicks, a new class from Shadi. On top of all that they still had modern weapons and shadow magick to practice. Atem and Marik both enjoyed modern weapons. They thoroughly enjoyed some of the pieces introduced to them. By the end of the first week the boys were exhausted.
"By Ra that man is going to be the end of us." Atem groaned as he collapsed on a couch in the commons.
"I don't know which I feel more exhaustion from, the sheer amount of magicks we have been using or all the physical training we have been doing." Marik responded just as grumpy.
"On the bright side I talked to Isis today and she said we could go to the fall tournament Seto is planning to have in a few weeks." Atem told Marik excitedly. He couldn't wait to see the others.
"Is Shadi going to create a mage portal for us or is Seto sending a private plane?" Marik asked curiously sitting up in excitement.
"Seto's last email said he would be sending a plane to get us. As publicized as those tournaments are it would look a bit odd if we just showed up out of nowhere especially since my existence was only just announced to the dueling world last year." Atem said recalling the email he had gotten from Seto.
The four teens worked hard in the upcoming weeks and September flew by. Isis had finally come home long enough to give some attention to her charges and then took them back to Cairo with her so they could catch the KC plane to Japan for their tournament.
October began along with Seto's Fall Festival tournament for Japan. Seto and Atem only did an exhibition duel but it was a duel everyone would be talking about for months to come. Seto may have lost but the duel had been invigorating. He loved dueling his rival. Ryou, Marik, Joey, Yugi, Mana, Kisara, and the other usual duelists appeared along with many others from all over the country. It was a fun tournament, there was no shadow magic, no sabotage attempts aimed at Kaiba Corp. or Industrial Illusions. Yugi won the tournament with Kisara as the runner up.
October 31 All Hallows Eve/Samhain
Everyone along with duelists from all over had been invited to go to Rebecca's home in New York for a huge Halloween bash. Mokuba in particular was really looking forward to this since he found he got along with Rebecca particularly well. So Shadi the magical taxi cab had agreed to set up a mage portal to transport everyone there. There were days when the ancient mage really wished he could speed up the others training. While they may not be able to shadow port like himself, they were all fully capable of learning mage portals, at least eventually. He took Mokuba, Ryou, Yugi, Solomon, and the rest of the gang to New York. From there he had to head back to Egypt to get the others. Seto was in Cairo taking care of a new office he was setting up for Kaiba Corp.
Atem, Marik and the girls were getting a break from their break neck schedule and getting to spend a day with Isis and Rishid in Cairo before they went to the Halloween party at Rebecca's home. They had plans to meet up with Seto at the museum and from there head to New York via mage portal from Shadi. Kaphiri was off taking care of business with his people the Nkosi clan so he left Mana and Kisara with the boys who were stuck with Medjai from the Bahariya clan for the day. It wasn't so bad except they were not very talkative at all. Seto was in the same boat as them. As soon as he set foot on Egyptian soil Medjai from the Amerys clan showed up to guard him. The four teens met up with Isis and Rishid at the museum along with their black clad guardians.
Isis looked up from her desk and smiled warmly at her charges who had just entered her office. "How was your day wandering around Cairo?"
The boys told her about their day and showed their excitement for the upcoming evening. Isis smiled listening to Marik and Atem talk about their day. She was sad she was going to not be able to join them at tonight's party.
"Are you looking forward to the party this evening?" Atem asked after he and Marik had told Isis about their day.
"Unfortunately I will not be able to join you this evening. The book of the dead has resurfaced that within itself isn't so awful but it was promptly stolen out from under the people who had recovered it. Thank the gods it wasn't the book of Ammun-Ra or the Millennium spellbook. However I need to speak with, Bill Weasley, the person in charge of the dig-site.," Isis sighed. It made no sense the book should not have been recovered last she knew it was buried under the sands where Ahm Shere once stood. No one should have been able to find the buried oasis.
"Do you need us to stay?" Atem asked worried about who would want that book in particular.
"No this isn't anything to concern yourselves with. There will not be a lot we can do until someone tries to sell it or use it. Why don't you four go find Seto? I am sure Kisara is ready to see him. He is wandering around the exhibit of the nameless pharaoh if you wish to join him while we wait for Shadi's arrival." Isis told the four teens not wanting them to worry about the book.
They all agreed and went to find Seto. They found him looking at the tablet of lost memories. "Sometimes it's hard to believe that I created this tablet but now I remember it as if it were yesterday." Seto said as he turned to face everyone who entered the room.
The teens greeted one another warmly and continued to look around at their past lives and talk quietly while waiting for Shadi to arrive.
Bill just arrived at the museum where he was meeting Isis Ishtar to speak with her about the ancient text that had been stolen. He wasn't sure what the book was but when he had described it to her she seemed shaken. He was really early so he headed towards his favorite spot in the museum.
To his surprise there were five teens in the exhibit looking at the ancient tablet. What surprised him even more was that two of the teens looked exactly like the nameless pharaoh and the high priest shown on the ancient tablet that resided in the museum. Bill invoked his gift of magical detection and flinched back from the intensity of the power he sensed. It was unbelievable. Bill walked in a daze to Isis' office. He just saw what had to be the decedents of the nameless pharaoh and high priest from 3,000 years ago. Bill finally reached his destination and saw Isis and Rishid talking quietly. He quickly made his presence known.
"Bill you're early," exclaimed Isis.
"Yea, I got done at the dig site early today and thought I would just head over," Bill replied. He nodded to Rishid whom he had met on previous visits.
Moments later the five teens walked back into Isis' office ready to get Rishid and head out. They were expecting Shadi in a few moments.
"It is almost time for you guys to head out. Why don't you all go wait for Shadi at the main entrance? Please attempt to behave and no ditching your escorts is that understood?" Isis said narrowing her eyes at Atem making sure her message was loud and clear of the consequences should he and Marik decide to break her rules.
Both boys shifted uncomfortably but nodded their heads in agreement. Seto just smirked.
"And girls the same goes for you two. Kaphiri would be most displeased if something happened to either of you." Isis added relaying Kaphiri's message for the girls.
"We will be good." Kisara promised not wanting to fall under Isis' wrath or upset her guardian. Mana nodded her head in agreement to Kisara's statement.
"Forgive me Bill where are my manners. This is my brother Marik, my ward Atem, Mana and Kisara Nkosi, and Seto Kaiba. They were just heading out to a Halloween party." said Isis.
"It's a pleasure to meet you guys," Bill responded.
The teens said their hellos and left with Rishid to meet up with Shadi and their Medjai guardians. Shadi arrived right on time and concentrated on making another mage portal. Bill felt a strong pulse of magic and assumed it was the two boys that had to be descendants of the ancients. He decided that he needed to tell Dumbledore right away about the two boys. He wondered if those boys were what Voldemort was looking for out here.
"So you have a younger brother and an adopted son? How come you have never mentioned them?" Bill asked Isis innocently wondering if he could get some information from her.
"I apologize Bill they are children of the clans. I am just so used to not talking about the children that I guess I did not think on it. I don't have many friends outside of the clans." Isis explained lamely with a slight blush gracing her cheeks.
"Shall we get down to business?" Isis asked changing the subject away from her family.
"Yes of course." Bill answered disappointed he couldn't get more information from the Egyptian beauty before him.
They talked about the stolen ancient text. He felt like Isis may have actually known what the book was and what was in it based on what she said but she never named the book which was frustrating. He needed to know. It was Death Eaters who had stolen it and he had no clue why.
Bill left the museum quickly after he had finished relaying what had happened to Isis and apparated just outside of the Hogwarts gates. He ran to the castle and reported his findings to Dumbledore.
"Ah Bill to what to I owe this unexpected visit?" Dumbledore asked.
"I have news you may be interested in. First off an ancient text from Egypt which may or may not relate to the shadow games has been stolen by Death Eaters. I don't know why you-know-who wants it seeing as I cannot verify its contents." Bill stated.
"There is little we can do about the ancient text if Voldemort has it." Dumbledore said sadly.
"There is something else I discovered while I was in Egypt today that you may find interesting. I found two teens who I am almost 100% sure are the descendants of the nameless pharaoh and his high priest. They are two teenage boys that Miss Ishtar knows. I used my gift of detecting magic and could feel their magic coming off in waves. It's like they were gifted with the ancient power of the shadows from 3,000 years ago. I am not positive they know they have such powerful magic, if they do they would make a dangerous enemy and are possibly the targets you-know-who has been searching for out there." Bill explained hurriedly.
"Hmm…I see. Well it seems to me we need to locate the boys and watch them to see if they indeed are shadow mages like their ancestors were. We also need to find out if there any others." Dumbledore said.
"Well locating the one I think is related to the High Priest will not be difficult at all. He is the one and only muggle CEO of Kaiba Corp and billionaire, Seto Kaiba. The other, with possibly the blood of the nameless pharaoh, Atem Ishtar might be hard to get near. He lives with the clans of Egypt and outsiders are not welcome on lands claimed by the old clans. If he is of royal blood the clans would know already and treat him as such." Bill explained to Dumbledore.
Dumbledore frowned at the news. Tom had been sending his people to Egypt constantly lately. It was a miracle the Egyptian Consulate had not figured out that there were dangerous foreigners in their land. These boys might be the reason. He had to know for sure. "Bill I would like you to go back to Egypt and keep an eye on the Ishtar's. We need to know if these boys are just magically powerful or if they are actual shadow mages. Do what you must to get the information." Albus said as he got up to fire-call Alastor Moody and Severus. Bill said his goodbyes and left for Egypt immediately.
Severus quickly left his private quarters after a summons came from the Headmaster. He was grumbling silently thinking the summons had to do with the Potter brat. He arrived at the gargoyle and gave the password snickers bar and went up to the office.
"You wished to see me Headmaster?" Severus said as he entered the office glaring at the other occupant in the room. He really disliked Alastor Moody with a passion.
"Ah yes my dear boy. Thank you both for joining me so quickly this evening. Lemon drop?" Dumbledore said with a twinkle in his eyes.
Both men declined the sweet and stood waiting for the Headmaster to explain his summons. He quickly filled them in on the problems at hand. He then assigned Moody to head to Domino City, Japan to keep an eye on Seto Kaiba and his friends to see if they possessed shadow magick. He then told Severus to report anything Voldemort was interested in dealing with Egypt and ancient magicks. Both men nodded and accepted their instructions.
Death Eater Meeting…same night….
"Wormtail are you sure there are people who can wield the ancient magicks of the shadows?" Voldemort hissed.
" my… my lord," he stuttered out. "I saw them my lord while we were in Egypt following that muggle museum lady before we found the ancient text. A couple of them seem to live in Egypt with her and some others seem to live in Japan." Wormtail informed his master.
"How many are there?" Voldemort asked.
"I believe there are at least five. I know there are three for sure. Two of them are the ones that took the souls of Amycus and Rowle earlier this summer. One goes by the name of Atem Ishtar and the other is Seto Kaiba. The third one is Marik Ishtar." Wormtail explained.
"Yaxley! Go to Japan find and watch these shadow mages and bring me confirmation on the others and keep an eye on Kaiba. He is dangerous don't get caught. Wormtail return to Egypt and watch those two. I want to know everything about them. Their power could be very useful to us and our cause. Severus see what Dumbledore knows of these shadow mages and report back to me with any information. Do not get caught! I want the shadow mages brought to me alive when the time is right." Voldemort issued his orders and yelled at everyone to leave and not to screw up.
Hogwarts, Headmaster's Office
Severus apparated out of Riddle Manor to the gates of Hogwarts and immediately went to speak with Dumbledore. He told Dumbledore of the three confirmed shadow mages in Egypt and Japan with the possibility of more living in Japan.
Dumbledore sighed this was not a good day. "If Voldemort recruits these boys we are in serious trouble. Bill Weasley has found little information on shadow magic but what he has discovered is that it is dark, very powerful, and almost destroyed the world 3,000 years ago. Even with Potter I fear we will be unable to win this war if Voldemort gets his hands on these mages." Dumbledore stated grievously.
