Ch 2 The Search Begins
Lukedonia, Lord's Castle
Within the Country of Lukedonia, every Noble was in a stir but what they felt Hours ago.
Sitting on her Throne, Raskreia called the Clan Leaders into her Castle to address the situation. The black-haired Lord gazes down at her Loyal followers who were able to heed her call.
The Clan Leaders of the Mergas Clan, Ru Clan, and the Kertia Clan all gathered in the Throne Room of the Lord.
"Clan Leaders, thank you for heeding my call," Raskreia said to her Loyal Followers.
"Lord, is the reason you all called us because of the Power Surge we felt Hours ago?" A grey-haired young Noble asked Raskreia, he was Ludis Mergas. The Guardian of Lukedonia and the Sword and Shield of the Lord,
Raskreia nodded to Ludis's question. "Yes, that is correct Ludis." She said, looking at the Nobles before a large muscular white-haired Man spoke. His outfit lake of any Aristocratic essence,
"Lord, that Power Surge has caused a stir among the other Nobles." This Man was Kei Ru, Leader of the Ru Clan and the Strongest out of the current Nobles. "I'm pretty sure the other Clan Leaders and Nobles who aren't present also felt it too," Kei commented, never felt that kind of Power other than the Noblesse.
Raskreia merely agreed with her fellow Noble, responding promptly to his statement. "Indeed, I contacted Gejutel and Rozaria to investigate the source. We will know what the cause is once they return to Lukedonia." She stated before the youngest of the Clan Leaders spoke out.
"Forgive my outburst, Lord." A blonde young Noble spoke up, interrupting the Lord. "But we all know what the cause of that Power Surge. We've all felt it many times before, Ten Years ago to be exact-"
"Rael! Do not interrupt the Lord's statement!" Kei scolded the youngest Clan Leader. "I know you may be the newest Clan Leader, but you do know how to show respect to the Lord!" The Leader of the Ru Clan stated, despite his appearance, he still knows how to respect the Lord.
Rael Kertia clicked his tongue, glaring at Kei. "Kei, I'm merely stating the facts. There's no need to cover it up!" The blonde Noble stated. "Lord Raizel has returned from Eternal Sleep! It's clear as Day!"
"I know that! But show your restraints when speaking, Rael!" Kei exclaims, now getting into a glaring contest with the Kertia Clan Leader.
Ludis quickly intervened before anything could happen, "Lord Kei, Rael please don't do this now." He held his Hands towards the two. "We are in the presence of the Lord! There's no fighting among ourselves here."
The two flinched, realizing Raskreia was observing the two's conflict. "Forgive us, Lord-"
"There's no need to apologize, I completely understand how everyone is feeling," Raskreia stated she would be lying to herself that she wasn't excited at the prospect of Raizel returning to the Living plane. She maintains her composure as she speaks, "This is a delegate situation for all of us, even Frankenstein's group as well. But we need to be cautious."
"If Cadis Etrama Di Raizel has truly returned to our World. It's prudent that we must keep this secret," The Lord stated, doing her Part as Leader of the Nobles.
Raskreia then placed her Hand on her chin, pondering about something. She looks at both Kei and Rael, having an assignment for them. "Kei, head to the Werewolf Territory and inform Lord Muzaka of the situation. I don't want a conflict between Nobles and Werewolves over a petty thing such as keeping Raizel's return a secret."
The white-haired Man nodded, kneeling to her Command. "As you wish, my Lord."
"Rael, you are to meet with Sera and Regis along with the others who serve the Noblesse and inform them as well. I know you have a close relationship with them." Raskreia stated, feeling it was right to bring them into the picture.
Rael kneeled to her Command, obliging it without question. "Yes, Lord." He said, smiling underneath his mask at the thought of meeting the rest of the RKs again.
Ludis doesn't need an order to know, he is needed here in Lukedonia as its Guardian.
Raskreia sighs, looking up at the ceiling hoping that they will find Raizel.
Godric's Hallow
It was the middle of the Night, and only the sounds of Crickets chirping echoed through the Night. Many of the Houses in this small Wizarding Community were empty with a few Inhabitants occupying the Houses that weren't empty.
A blonde Man steps forward onto the pavement of the Community, his blue eyes gazing around the Area. "Heh," Frankenstein chuckles after taking a good look at the place. "It's been a while since I've set foot in a Wizarding Community such as this."
-ZZZ- Hey Boss, I'm currently looking at your Position and you're in a rural part of Britain. -ZZZ- Tao said, tracking the position of his Boss like all members of RK. -ZZZ- Is there any reason why you're there? -ZZZ- The Modified Human asked,
"I'm not going to sugarcoat it, Tao. I know for a fact that you and assuming everyone else could feel that Power surge a few Hours Ago, am I right?" The blonde Man asked the Technician of the RKs about what they felt before.
Tao nodded on the other end, answering his Boss's question. -ZZZ- Yeah, it's strange. Both me and M-21 felt that Power from far away,-ZZZ- The black-haired Man said, confirming what his Boss suspected. -ZZZ- It was like a small feeling, but still…it felt familiar. Do you know what it is Boss? -ZZZ- He asked,
Frankenstein nodded, answering his curious Subordinate. "Yes, I do. Though you felt it in Korea in a small molecule; here where I am, it's like a Semi-Truck colliding into me." The Leader of the RKs explained their feeling a while ago.
-ZZZ- A Semi-Truck? Can something like that could really hurt People like us, Boss? -ZZZ- Tao asked, knowing something like that wouldn't harm them. But he could compare what Frankenstein's feelings to the pain he felt when Kranz grabbed hold of his face or when they faced Rael.
"I guess you can compare it to something else, Tao. In any case, that feeling we just felt means only one thing," The blonde Man said, explaining further to his Second-in-Command. "Our master has returned into the World."
Frankenstein could hear something drop from the other end of the line. "What was that just n-"
-ZZZ- Sorry Boss, but did I hear you right!? -ZZZ- Tao practically shouted through the Comms. -ZZZ- Did you say that Rai, our Boss has returned from the Dead? How could that be, Boss? Is it some Power that he as the Noblesse could use? -ZZZ- He asked, still eluded on the Powers of the Noblesse other than their purpose.
Frankenstein shook his Head, replying to Tao's question. "Not that I'm aware of, I knew master for the longest time and learned many things about him." The blonde Man stated, "However, I'm just as lost as you on how master can return from Eternal Sleep."
"Regardless of how Tao I want you to recall Takeo from Japan to South Korea to pick something up from me. Then meet me here in Great Britain," Frankenstein ordered his Second-in-Command on what to do. "If the surge we've just felt just now is an indication of master's return-"
Tao on the other side quickly understood what the Boss was saying. -ZZZ- Then his Power is unchecked, alright. I'll send the message and retrieve the Seal. -ZZZ- He said, taking the Comms on the side in preparation for retrieving the Seal they've stored as a memento of Rai. -ZZZ- Boss, if I can say something…how can you find Rai somewhere as big as Britain? Sure it's an Isle but it's still big, even for someone like you who's deeply connected with him. -ZZZ-
Frankenstein has to admit; Tao was right. Britain is still a large Country for a single Person to look for another Person. Even with the surge he felt, it disappeared as quickly as it appeared.
The Modified Human shifted his Head to the side, and his eyes then spotted a familiar face. "Don't worry about that Tao. I may have found someone that could help in my search," Frankenstein said to his Subordinate. "Just make sure Takeo has the Seal,"
-ZZZ- Roger that, -ZZZ- Tao cuts off, heading to retrieve the Seal.
Frankenstein turns his attention to the new arrivals of Godric's Hallow. "Gejutel K. Landegre, what a pleasant surprise to meet you here," He said sarcastically at the old Noble appearing before him.
Gejutel's eyes widen at who he sees before him, "Frankenstein," He said his Acquaintance's Name who he hadn't seen for quite some time. Shaking his Head, the Clan Leader of the Landegre Clan went and spoke to him. "It has been some time since we've seen you." He greeted the Servant of the Noblesse.
"It has, Gejutel, I heard the Lord has made you and a few Nobles into Delegates of Lukedonia," Frankenstein said, aware of the current Events that took in the past Ten Years. "Tell me, how are you fairing now you and the others are involved with the Modern Human World?"
The white-haired Noble chuckles, turning away from the Person he still doesn't trust to some degree. "To answer your question, the Humans are far too curious about our internal affairs. But I do not blame them," Gejutel responded to Frankenstein's question. "We too are curious how the Human World has changed during our Centuries of Isolation. The younger Clan Leaders are better suited due to them being mistaken as young Human Adults." He commented,
"Regardless, I've found the Human World innovating. I'm impressed by their Inventions and their information networking," Gejutel said what he likes about the Humans of the Modern Era.
"(Goes for show of how out of touch Nobles were for many Centuries,)" Frankenstein said to himself what the Old Noble said.
Gejutel heard what the Modified Human said under his breath before changing the subject to something urgent. "Frankenstein, our meeting isn't a coincidence. I'm sure that you of all People and your Subordinates have felt it," He glared at him,
"Yes, I don't know why or how, but my master has returned to the Mortal Plane," Frankenstein said what the two of them were thinking. "It's imperative that we locate and ensure that he's alright after using his Power once more." The blonde Man stated before asking his Acquaintance something else.
"Gejutel," The Old Noble paused, looking at Frankenstein after saying his Given Name in a serious tone. "Your presence here means that the Lord of Lukedonia is aware of master's return?"
Gejutel merely nodded, receiving specific orders from Raskreia to seek out and investigate the Power surge that spread out throughout the Planet. "Yes, Lord Raskreia wants me to investigate the Power surge we all felt moments ago. Rozaria and the other Nobles are keeping the Humans out of our Internal Affairs. Especially now with the prospect of the Noblesse returning."
Frankenstein nodded, relieved that the Public wouldn't be involved in this situation. "Yes, I much prefer that master stay out of the Political spotlight." The Modified Human stated. "In any case, both Lukedonia and my People have the same interests in mind."
"Indeed we do," Gejutel agreed with Frankenstein, sharing the same interest. The Old Noble then gazed over to where he sensed the surge, noticing some debris scattered on the ground. "There's debris over there, based on how they look…"
"They seem to be recent, I could even sense some remnants of my master's Power nearby," Frankenstein said, following the trail of debris that led to a small Cottage.
Gejutel nodded, trusting in the Bond between Frankenstein and Raizel. "I sense it too. Some residue of his Power still lingers here." The Head of the Landegre Clan followed the Modified Human to the Cottage, beginning their investigation.
Upon arrival, the two sensed where they believed the Noblesse had awakened.
Frankenstein and Gejutel stood before a small Cottage, the lights were off, and the Front door was busted open. "This….is the place," The blonde Man said, gazing up at the Cottage. "I could feel master's presence was here, but he was moved."
"Hmm…" Gejutel steps forward, examining the door. "It looks like we've missed whatever happened to this Cottage. The door looks like it was opened on its own," The Noble said, observing what he saw before them.
The white-haired Man looked at Frankenstein entering the Home. "Frankenstein, wait. Do not just enter the Cottage without the Owner's permission." Gejutel said to the Modified Human, seeing him ignoring common decency.
"I know it's not proper etiquette, but this is the master we're talking about, Gejutel," Frankenstein said, determined to find and reunite with the person to whom he had sworn Loyalty. "With what remains of the Union, I want to ensure he is safe."
The Clan Leader of the Landegre Family couldn't help but agree with his Acquaintance. In this new Era, they found themselves in, it is prudent that Raziel is found and protected.
Regardless of how uncouth this act is, Gejutel has to admit Frankenstein does make a valid point. "I can't believe I'm doing this…" The Old Noble said to himself before he heard his Acquaintance speak.
"Are you coming, Representative Landegre?" Frankenstein turns his Head towards the Noble, finding the time to tease him on his new Position.
A vein popped on Gejutel's Head, knowing that the Modified Human was teasing him. He cleared his throat, not even humoring him on his comment.
The two Immortal Men entered the Cottage, taking a good look around. Frankenstein noticed that there was a rather large gap in the floor.
His eyes could tell that there was a Body here before, but it was moved.
Gejutel walks over to an empty Fireplace, noticing the few pictures on the shelf. The white-haired Noble went over to the shelf, taking one from it. His eyes widen, seeing what was within the Photo.
Frankenstein stood up after investigating the gap, "Frankenstein, come over here." The blonde Man heard the Noble calling for him, responding to his call.
"What did you find, Gejutel?" Frankenstein asked, taking the Photograph that was handed to him by the Noble.
The Modified Human took a look at the Photograph; his eyes widened at the moving Photo almost like a GIF. However, that wasn't what caused him to react in such a way. "I-Is this…master?" He asked, seeing an Infant that had a stark resemblance to his master. "H-He's a…a…Baby…"
Gejutel stroked his beard, watching the blonde Man looking at the Photo. "It seems that Lord Raizel has reincarnated into an Infant, born to this Wizard Family." The Clan Leader said, astonished by what they discovered. "Reincarnation…such a thing that existed in Myth…"
Frankenstein quickly turned around, placed the Photo on the coffee table, and headed up the Stairs to look for a Nursery. In a split second, he found the Nursery where his master was being cared for, well…what's left of it.
The Nursey was open; the roof and parts of the Walls were torn apart much like something inside blasted out. There were bits and pieces of Wood and debris scattered across the floor and another gap was located near a flipped torn chair.
Gejutel followed Frankenstein up the Stairs, catching up with the blonde Man. "Frankenstein, I understand your hurry. But don't be too hasty in thi-"
"He was here," The Clan Leader of the Landegre Family paused, hearing the Noblesse's servant speak. "Master, he was here and we were moment, no…hours late in finding him. Now, he's been taken to who knows where in this Earth."
Gejutel understood Frankenstein's plight, he too was disappointed to see an empty Room where Raizel was cared for. However, he knows that this isn't the time for what-ifs, "Frankenstein, you know much as I that we will meet Lord Raizel again." The Noble stated, comforting the Loyal Servant. "We have discovered so much in this short time we're here. We also know what the reincarnated Lord Raizel looks like in his current state."
Frankenstein turns to the Noble, hearing him talking sense as he continues. "For now we should focus our Resources on finding him, no matter what," Gejutel said, getting through the distraught Man.
"You're right," Frankenstein said, shaking his Head from his distraught. "Master is alive and that's all that matters." He said, looking up at the Moon shining down upon them.
"No matter how long it'll take, we will find him,"
9 Years Later
It's been Nine Years since Rai was dumped on the steps of his Maternal Aunt's doorstep by an Old Wizard and a few of his Companions. Though he does admit, seeing his Godfather hand him to a shaggy-haired Half-Giant Man was peeving,
Rai understood that Sirius was distraught at the loss of his Parents. He was disappointed that he didn't return, he just hoped that he didn't get himself into trouble.
Now that his New Home was taken away rather quickly, Rai found himself in a new Living arrangement with his Mother's Sister.
To say the least, his Aunt Petunia was a sorry sight. Rai could tell that she harbored jealousy and hatred for his Mother by the way she glared at him when he was younger.
That could be said the same with her Husband, his Uncle Vernon. Both were unsightly both in personality and appearance,
His Uncle wanted to put him into an Orphanage, however, Petunia denied his request. Explaining to him why they can't just dump him there,
Rai has no idea what his Aunt said, only picking up a few things such as Blood and Ward. Regardless, from the moment Rai could walk and talk, Vernon decided to put him to work.
At first, Rai was curious about what type of work Vernon said, but he soon discovered that it was the tasks Frankenstein and Rajak did back in South Korea.
Rai would be lying to himself that he doesn't want to learn to clean like those two did for him. When Rai tries to do some cleaning back at his previous Home, Frankenstein quickly dismisses him, doing it for him. (A disappointing situation on Rai's part)
Regardless, Petunia instructed Rai on how to do and use the cleaning supplies around the House by the time he was Three.
Rai's time doing those things was…not spectacular.
Rai's first attempt at cleaning the dishes led him to use stainless steel instead of a sponge causing the plates to have scratches on them. He thought that if metal is strong, maybe use it to clean as well…he was wrong,
The next thing Petunia has him do is mop the floor….leading Rai to spill the Water everywhere and begin mopping.
Another time is when Rai was tasked to vacuum the carpets. He did so…only to have the vacuum unplug as he tried to vacuum the carpet.
Petunia tasked Rai to take out the trash, only for him to bring the entire trash bag while there was a hole in the bottom. Rai was confused about why the bag was empty when he lifted it and discovered he made a trail of trash.
Seeing no hope in teaching Rai, Petunia, and Vernon had enough. They were about to hit Rai for being incompetent only for him to retaliate.
Rai used Mind Control to stop his Relatives from committing harm to him. As much as he dislikes using his Power on Humans, he won't tolerate anyone who harms him or anyone else. This caused the two to become passive to Rai, teaching him properly how to do things rather than move from task to task.
Speaking of tolerance, by the time Rai was old enough to go to Primary School, he attracted much attention to himself due to his appearance, and he gained more attention when he picked up a Book for one of the Girls who dropped it before him,
From that moment, many of the Female Students couldn't help but swoon over him. He played it off as a School Girl crush from what he saw on one of his Cousin's Television Shows.
Speaking of Cousin, Dudley, Rai was unsure what to make of him. He has seen him bullying other Kids, however, he was still a Child who didn't know better. He may have controlled his Aunt and Uncle to be less rotten, but he commanded them to raise their Son properly.
Nowadays, events in the Dursley Household are like every Family on the Street. Rai stood before the Window of his Relatives' Living Room, observing the outside World while drinking his Tea. He saw a Car entering his Relatives' Driveway, as someone got off.
A doorbell rang, causing the young Noblesse to gaze over to the door. "Give me a moment, I'm coming," Rai heard his Aunt rushing towards the front door.
The dark-haired Woman paused upon seeing her Nephew, prompting her to speak. "R-Rai, your Aunt Marge is here; I'm not sure you remember but she can be…trouble…" Petunia warns the young Noblesse.
Rai gazed over to his Aunt, nodding to what she said before returning to his Window to watch.
Petunia opens the door, revealing a Woman who shares a similar appearance to Vernon. "Petunia!" Marge Dursley greeted the tall dark haired Woman.
"O-Oh my, Marge. I didn't know you were visiting today." Petunia said, greeting her Sister-in-Law. She then heard a snarl from the ground, seeing Marge had brought her Bulldog, Ripper. "And I see you have brought Ripper, how lovely." She said, trying to be welcoming to her and her Pet.
"Well, I can't leave my Baby all alone at my House." The blonde Woman looks down at her Dog. "Am I right, my little precious…" Marge continued to coo at her Dog, sniffing around his surroundings.
Petunia grabs hold of her Sister-in-Law's Suitcase, "Please, please come it, Marge. Vernon and Dudley are out for his Wrestling Lessons." The Horse Woman informed where her Son and Husband are.
Marge hums, hearing where her Nephew and Brother are. "I bet my Brother is making my Neffy Poo into a strong strapping young Man-" The blonde Woman paused, looking at the Living Room where Rai is standing, seeing his back as he drank his Tea. "He's still here? I thought you'd gotten rid of him." She asked Petunia.
Petunia stopped near the entrance of her Living Room, hearing Marge speak. "O-Oh, well, Rai has…grown on us." She said to the Walrus Woman, "We could hardly depart from him, he has become a part…o-of the Family. You only met him when he was a Baby, he has grown-" She said, looking at the young Noblesse.
"Hmph, I doubt that. Petunia, I've told you once before a Child who is left on a doorstep is no good. If he was left at my doorsteps, then I'll ship him off to the Orphanage." Marge huffs, walking into the Living Room to confront her Nephew.
Ripper went over to where Rai was standing, minding his own business. He took a sniff at him before growling at how foreign his scent was, however, when Rai looked down at the Dog, his eyes flashed from Amber to Red.
Ripper saw the eyes change, causing him to whine and back away. His Animal Instincts were telling him to back away.
"Boy, do you have any manners to greet..g…reet…m…e…." Marge froze when Rai slowly turns to face her,
Marge couldn't help but be enamored by her nephew's appearance. His hair was inky black and long, flowing to the back of his neck. His skin was as white as porcelain, shining in the light, and his eyes were a mix of Amber and Crimson, speaking of elegance yet holding a mysterious quality.
Marge was at a loss for Words, never had she met a Person let alone a Child this Beautiful. "I-I…u…uh…"
Petunia steps between the two, trying to change the atmosphere. "R-Rai, I'm sure you don't remember Aunt Marge since you were only a Baby." She cleared her throat, explaining things to them. "Marge, this is Rai. What do you say, Rai?"
The black-haired Boy closes his eyes, placing his Hand on his chest. "It's a pleasure to meet you, Aunt Marge. I am Rai Potter, I'm looking forward to being acquainted during your stay properly." Rai gracefully greeted his Aunt,
'Even his voice and way of speaking is elegant! D-Did I just misjudge him?' Marge asked herself before clearing her throat and quickly recollecting herself. "Y-Yes, w-what a g-gentleman you are, B-Bo-I mean, Rai." She corrected herself,
Later that Night during Dinner, Marge couldn't help but watch Rai gracefully cut his steak into small pieces and eat it. She could tell his face was a bit disappointed but ate his Food regardless.
Any normal Child would whine about how they don't like their Food after one bite. But Rai was different, almost like he was one of those Nobles she heard about on the News.
"So, Marge could I temp you with a spot of Wine?" Marge turns to her Brother, holding two Glasses and a Bottle of Wine.
"Needn't you to ask, Vernon?" The blonde Woman said as her Brother poured him a Glass. Her eyes returned to Rai and her Nephew, seeing a stark difference between them.
Dudley was biting the steak with his teeth only for Petunia to stop him and show him how to properly cut his steak. "Diddy-kins, stop that. You'll hurt yourself," Petunia put down the steak and taught Dudley how to eat.
Marge had enough, prompting to look at her Brother. "Vernon, may I talk to you privately please?"
The tubby Man flinched, causing him to oblige his Sister's request. "O-Of course, Marge."
The two Dursley Siblings went to the other Room to speak in a private setting. Vernon turns to his Sister, "Marge, what is it that you wanted to speak abo-"
"Vernon, your nephew. I've never encountered anyone who looks like him before!" Marge hissed, expressing her disbelief to him. "He's like an Angel that was sent from the Heavens or those Nobles from that Luke-place on the Telly."
Rai's ears perked, hearing his Aunt speaking about Lukedonia. He never really looked into Lukedonia or any of his Old Friends, mainly because he wanted to experience what a Human Childhood is like. Regardless, his interest was piqued by his Uncle and Aunt speaking.
"Marge, I don't get what you're trying to say." The Walrus Man said to his Sister,
"Vernon, don't you realize? You have a Gold Mine right here," Marge said, explaining further to her Brother. "I breed Dogs for a living and I know what Dogs are good for Dog Shows. That Boy's appearance will get you all the Money you need." She suggested to him, planting the idea.
Vernon thought hard and gave his answer to her. "A-Alright, I'll ask if Rai is alright with this idea." He said unsure how Rai would react to this. He paused, realizing that Rai rarely expresses any emotions but does know what he wants.
Marge placed her Hand on her Brother's shoulders, smiling at him. "Atta Boy, Vernon." She said before continuing. "I know a Person who can set you up for a Modeling Job. He's responsible for helping me give my Dogs away by taking pictures of them." She said, giving the details to Vernon.
Rai overheard everything his Uncle and Aunt said, 'A Modeling Job? That was Im Suyi's Occupation back in Korea…' He said to himself, thinking of trying the Job that his Friend did back then. He ate another of his steak, mentally sighing to himself. 'I miss Ramen…I wonder if they sell some here.'
