Chapter 33 Cold Weather brings a Warm Future
(Kleak, France)
"You wanted to talk?" Mynar asked.
"Tell me about this symbol." Danny said as he tapped the datapad and projected the symbol of Marik's organization.
It is the symbol that he had seen during his meeting with Marik.
"According to my sources the main image is an inverse hexagram." Danny said. "The extra symbols I do not know."
If their secret organization is as old as they claimed, then there was a chance, they had run into each other.
"It is an ancient symbol." Mynar agreed. "Few know its meaning."
"Do you know its meaning?" Danny asked.
"No. I was not high enough in the order to know of them." Mynar answered.
"Not even rumors?" Danny asked.
"No." Mynar denied.
"Ten I will just have to check the memories of your chief." Danny said as he stood up.
"I had heard rumors." Mynar said quickly.
Danny grew a smile on his face before he turned around to face Mynar.
"They are called the organization for lack of a better name." Mynar said.
'Really?' Danny thought.
"The Medjai have run into the symbol over the years. Usually in messages between cultists that they have killed for dangerous practices. This organization goes to a new land and creates these groups. Manipulating people and starting wars in search of power." Mynar said.
"What kind of groups?" Danny asked.
"The Order of the Ancients in Egypt, Al-Tharmen in Persia, The Cult of Kosmos in Greece and most recently The Knights Templar." Mynar said.
He would look into it later.

"That just looks wonderful." Danny said looking at the information displayed on the hologram is sent by satellites orbiting around the planet.
He had launched them from outside the facility.
"This will allow you to find the warlocks?" Qetsiyah asked.
"Yes. The moment my B.I.R.D.S. find a warlock they will send the information here. I can then use the information to hunt them down wherever they go." Danny said.
Expression for all their belief is an evil "magic" is still just energy and like all emery it has a signature. A signature that can be studied and tracked.
The "Organization" may have been able to hide before but now he is looking for them too.
"How are you going to move this from your workshop?" Qetsiyah asked.
"I have no need to move it. I have set it up so that I can access the information wherever I am." Danny said.
It also would be easier than having to rely on Qetsiyah searching through the memories of her residents on the chance that they would spend their afterlife looking for warlocks for him to hunt.
"Even if that is true hunting them down will not be such an easy thing. Warlocks are violent and the moment that they learn that you are hunting them they will do whatever it takes to kill you." Qetsiyah said.
"I will be careful." Danny said before turning back to the orb as new dots appeared.
"Are those warlocks?" Qetsiyah asked.
"Nope. If they were warlocks, the dots would be red. These dots are blue." Danny said.
"What does that mean?" Qetsiyah asked.
"It means that those are our people." Danny said.
People that hold the ATA gene. The problem about the scan is that it did not tell him if they had abilities or if they just carried the trait. Either way he is going to have to go and find them.
"There are so few of us around the world." Qetsiyah whispered as she looked at the hologram.
"The Catholic church has spent a long time trying to wipe them out." Danny said.
"I want you to remember that many of them have been caught because they were betrayed by vampires." Qetsiyah said.
"I am aware of the crimes that they have committed against our people." Danny said as he increased the focus on the globe.
"What are you looking for?" Qetsiyah asked.
"Witches living in France." Danny answered her.
He had given Queen Catherine and King Henry the task but given that the war is taking up most of their attention he figured that he should do it himself.
He heard the sound of his contact orb activating.
Looks like he was getting a response.
He had the information set to his datapad and activated the contact orb sending the call trough the chair to be projected as a screen.
"How can I help you?" The Foreign One asked.
The original had been thinking on it for a while and since the clones grown on Dinai had proved safe it was time to make their next request.
"I want to make a deal." Danny said as he looked at the face of the Foreign One.
"I am always open to conducting business." The Foreign One said.
"I have a desire to acquire some new chefs." Danny said.
"Where do you want them from?" The Foreign One asked.
"I want the chefs to come from Totsuki Academy." Danny said.
If they are going to buy chefs, then he might as well go and get the best that he could.
"You should know that I am going to clone them not kidnap them from their universe." The Foreign One said.
"That is fine." Danny said.
If they went to Totsuki and passed their tests, then that meant they had skills beyond most chefs on this planet maybe even his entire kingdom.
"I assume that you want the main cast?" The Foreign One asked.
"Them as well as the Elite Ten. Those still in school and those that have already graduated." Danny answered.
"Sure. That is no difficult task." The Foreign One said.
"I am willing to offer you ten crates of gold and silver, blueprints to build Ha'taks, and a statue made of naquadah." Danny offered.
"No, I do not want any of that." The Foreign One said.
"What do you want then?" Danny asked.
"I want to be granted four favors from the original version of you." The Foreign One said.
"What kind of favors?" Danny asked.
"Nothing too difficult. Just saving some people that are in danger of dying." The Foreign One said.
"How come you can't help them?" Danny asked.
"Do you want your chefs or not?" The Foreign One asked.
"How about two?" Danny asked as he started haggling.
"Three favors and they will not put you in danger." The Foreign One promised.
"Very well but you are going to have to warn me in advance of when I will need to help these people, and it cannot take too long. I have a kingdom to run." Danny said pretending to be the original.
"Very well. I will return to your universe in a week with your chefs." The Foreign One said.
The screen vanished ending their communication.
Now that their call is done it is time to work on the original's project.
Before he could rise out of the chair his contact orb activated again.
"Hello Fared." Danny said as he watched the face appear.
"Greetings my king I am calling you to report that Violet had delivered her first report." Fared said.
"Did she also have letters from Queen Catherine's children?" Danny asked.
"Yes, she has. All the information has been searched through and the important parts are about to be sent to your personal device." Fared said.
"Good work Fared." Danny said.
"I thank you for your praise my king." Fared said before ending the conversation and disappearing.
Danny rose and walked out of the center room to his workshop down the hall. He had his Jaffa empty out the original contents and replace with his chosen materials.
"How do you think Queen Catherine is going to feel when she learns that you have had vampires compel her children to write to her?" Qetsiyah asked as se reappeared.
"She is a pragmatic woman. In the event that she did find out she would probably think that she could use it to help them get over their anger with her for the way she raised them." Danny said.
The royal family of France needed a private therapist for all of the issues they held with each other but since such a field did not exist at this point of time, he would have to gift them the solution.
"Are you going to give them to her now?" Qetsiyah asked.
"It is still too early." Danny said.
Due to the time difference between Antartica and France Queen Catherine is probably still in bed, and he did not want to wake her.
"I have other ways of keeping occupied before the sun rises up in France."
"What are you planning on sculpting?" Qetsiyah asked as she looked around the materials in the room.
"I am sculpting Gargoyles for France and Scotland." Danny answered.
It had been something The Original had been thinking of ever since seeing the statues that laid upon Dragonstone. He wanted them to guard the schools he created during the night. During the times when they are awake, they could move faster and search farer than any baseline human could so if anyone thought of causing trouble at the school or the surrounding lands, they could prevent it. They would charge during the day.
"Once I am finished with the set, I would like your opinion on which one from looks the best." Danny said as he took a seat in front the clay.
Cybernetic parts would form the frame so he could get the design how he wanted. Then clay would be poured over it to form the features. Afterwards he would use his powers to transmute the clay to stone and concrete. He did not plan to use his powers to bring them to life until after the current set is done.
"Alright." Qetsiyah replied. "However, I came to see you today because another witch has a request for you."
She gestured as another woman appeared besides her.
The transparent woman had long dark brown hair that went down to her back. She looked to be about five inches shorter than him.
"Hello and you are?" Danny asked.
"My name is Patricia Halliwell, but most called me Patty when I was alive." Patty said. "I have come to you because I need your help to save my family."
"Save them from what?" Danny asked. "There are a lot of dangerous things in this world so I would prefer people requesting favors to be rather clear."
"My daughter is in danger. There is an dark witch that is coming after her." Patty said.
"dark witch? Not Warlock?" Danny asked as he looked at Qetsiyah.
"Dark witches are witches that have decided to ignore the will of nature and use their powers for their own benefit. They do not practice expression. Instead, their favorite hobby is killing other witches to steal their active abilities to add to their own power." Qetsiyah said.
It seems this is another group he would have to deal treat the same as warlocks. While they did not have the same goal of bringing the Dark One into the world, they killed people that belonged to him.
"How do you know all of this?" Danny asked.
"I had a bad feeling about him the moment that I saw him come to my city and start courting my daughter." Patty said.
"What is this guy planning on doing?" Danny asked.
"They are either planning on killing her for her power or turning her towards evil." Patty said.
"How can I help?" Danny asked Patty.
"I want you to kill him." Patty said.
"Alright. Do you know what he is capable of?" Danny asked since she spied on him.
"Like most dark witches he has the same abilities as any witch, brewing potions, casting spells, but he also has the active power to throw and manipulate fire." Patty said.
"What is this witch's name?" Danny asked.
"His name is Jeremy Rowe. He also has two brothers named Gregory and Paul." Patty said.
"Why is he going through all of this effort?" Danny asked wondering what the end goal could possibly be.
If he wanted her dead, he could have killed her by now.
"They are after the secrets that our family left behind in Rouen." Patty said.
"Tell me more." Danny said as he gave his full attention to Patty.
