Warnings and Disclaimer in prologue. Chapter 2: Dreams and Letters, Secrets Revealed! Part 2 Upon Returning to his room Harry noticed Hedwig had yet to return. As he lay on his bed he left his window open knowing Hedwig could return at any time. Falling asleep Harry's last thoughts were 'I hope nothing bad has happened to them.' %%Dream Sequence%% Upon arriving at the same clearing Harry looked for Lina. Finding her standing in the same spot as before Harry called out to her. "Miss Lina!" Turning around Lina smiled and said "Harry there is no need for you to call me Miss. Lina will do just fine." "Okay, Lina. What will you teach me today?" Harry questioned of his ancestor. "I will not be teaching you this time Harry. I plan on telling you some of my story. To start where I came from." "Okay" "I grew up with an older sister who, I hate to admit, I am completely scared of. Luna was a Knight for the god Ceiphied and I preferred sorcery. I learned all I could and then at 16 set out on my own to travel. I ran into a woman whom was known as Naga the White Serpent. She was a sorceress in Black Magic like I was; though she had a decidedly weird view on things. We often fought and ended up splitting ways plenty of times only to run into each other often. We fought against each other and alongside each other as well. We were enemies yet we were also allies. I considered her a friend and on one such adventure we ended up going to an island known as Mipross Island. We got caught up in an adventure of a lifetime.” Here Lina paused to take a breath. “The elves who had lived there before being massacred were strange. An old man dragged us into a battle to change the past of his fiancé, who was an elf while he was Human. This boy carried a sword known as the Sword of Light. Myself and Naga ended up being dragged into the past where I helped defeat an evil monster and changed History. Naga and myself had many strange and absurd adventures together until one day she disappeared and I never heard from her again. It was during my travels with Naga where I was given the name of Lina the Bandit Killer because me and Naga often stole from Bandits killing a good portion of them in the process." Here Lina stopped once again to let what she had said sink into Harry's head. "Wow!" Laughing Lina continued. "Shortly after Naga did her final disappearing act I robbed a bunch of Bandits and killed their leader. They were known as the Dragon Fangs. After defeating them is when all my trying and dangerous adventures began. The adventures that Naga and me had had were nothing in comparison to what I would face after that fateful day.” Here Lina paused to let that sink in and gather her thoughts as she also remembered that day. “I was walking through the woods with my loot when some of the surviving members of the Dragon Fangs surrounded me. They said they just wanted to talk but I didn't buy it so I played along telling them to go on. They said after I had turned their boss into a crisp using my Fireball they wanted me to be their new leader. I told them no; I wasn't interested in leading a gang of bandits, and then they attacked me. As I was fighting a man showed up spouting at them that it was rude to attack innocent women.” She paused as she remembered her anger at being called helpless and innocent before deciding to play along and be the damsel in distress. “He then proceeded to destroy the rest of them and cut the clothes off of the one who was leading the attack. I of course pretended to be a damsel in distress. Little did I know that this man would think I was a child of 10 or 12 because of my short stature and less than ample bosom. His name was Goury Gabriev. He ended up saying he was going to protect me until after we got to a town and had to fight a Black Dragon. That was when I learned that some people called me the Dragon Spooker. I wondered what that meant and asked the old man who was the head of this town, he said it meant 'Dragons Step Past Out Of Clear Revulsion.' I was not happy. Long story short I killed the Dragon using the Dragon Slave and we got chased out of the village because most of it had been destroyed on accident.” Once again pausing to remember the run from the angry villagers and take a few deep breaths before continuing. “Following that we met a man named Zelgadis and fought a man known as Rezo The Red Priest. Rezo had become obsessed with curing his blindness. Unbeknownst to us or him the Dark Lord Shabranigdo was sealed inside of Rezo’s eyes. Rezo released him and myself, Gourry and Zelgadis fought Shabranigdo and barely won. Both Gourry and Zelgadis were injured and I used the Sword of Light which Gourry had to boost my attack power and used the most Dangerous spell in Black Magic. The Giga Slave. It is Dangerous because if not done right it could mean total annihilation for everything in this Universe. Not something I like to use." "Wow sounds scary." "It was; especially after I learned the actual destructiveness of that spell. After Shabranigdo we traveled to Atlas City where we parted ways with Zelgadis. I was hoping to meet Prince Phillionel of Seillun. Though the prince was nothing like what I thought he would be he was a good guy. We ran into his Daughter Amelia and after defeating some bad guys traveled with them to Seillun. Upon arriving in Seillun we found wanted posters of us. After battling several groups we were caught by the real bad guys Zangulus the swordsman and the sorcerer Vruumagun. They planned on taking us to Sairaag for some unknown reason.” Here she paused once again to remember just how foolishly she had been caught by the two. “We escaped and with Amelia in tow headed to Sairaag on our own. Upon arriving in Sairaag we ran into an old friend of Gourry's; a priestess named Sylphiel. Sylphiel and her father told us Rezo was the one who put the bounty on us. He should be dead! was what ran through my head. After getting into Rezo's manor and fighting chimera’s of a dubious nature Zelgadis showed up. Turns out Rezo was a copy and wanted the Claire Bible so he could be normal and to revive the demon Beast Zanafar. He managed to Revive Zanafar and we once again defeated him." "After that it was one wild adventure after another. Zelgadis and Amelia became regular travelers as a part of our group. We were helping Zelgadis search for the Claire Bible for you see Rezo had turned Zelgadis into a Chimera and he wanted to be human again. We fought a king and his daughter bent on world domination. Then we met Xellos the Trickster Priest. He used to annoy the hell out of us all. Always starting to say something then saying "That...is a secret." “We traveled and had many adventures searching for the Claire Bible. We never did find it on our adventures but we fought a lot of evil bent on world domination. My powers were stolen from me at one point and I had to search to find someone who could undo the spell. I also learned a new Spell; The Ragna Blade. We fought the chaos dragon Gaav and were introduced to Hellmaster Fibrizzo. He captured Gourry and used him as bait to lure me to him. We ended up back in the restored Sairaag with Sylphiel tagging along. We fought Hellmaster Fibrizzo and I once again had to use the Giga Slave. After using it I'm not sure what happened. Xellos said that The Lord of Nightmares whom the Giga Slave's power is derived from stole my body and I basically became the Lord of Nightmares. I also had my first kiss with Gourry. The Lord of Nightmares has a capricious nature I have since come to learn.” “After that there were more adventures where we met Filia a priestess and Gold Dragon and fought Valgaav an Ancient Dragon and the last of his race. Then once all of the adventures had ended we settled down. For the most part. Amelia finally convinced Zelgadis that he looked wonderful the way he was and they married. Had two kids and then Amelia died. Me and Gourry married and had six kids. Xellos and Filia cared for the reborn baby of Valgaav even though they didn't get along often. Then once Valgaav was older Xellos disappeared.” “He reappeared at Amelia's Funeral and helped Zelgadis out a great deal. It seems that him and Zelgadis had finally put aside their rivalry. So when we found out Zel and Xellos had been in an intimate relationship for two years and it had been almost four since Amelia died we were happy... somewhat. Xellos disappeared shortly after we found out and almost died. Apparently he was pregnant and afraid of Zel's reaction. He went back to the demon plane and spoke with his boss. She sent him on what was supposed ot be a vacation. Xellos was attacked and when his boss found him she brought him straight to us. By this point he was almost due and almost dead. When Zelgadis heard he rushed over, berated Xellos on being an idiot and took him back to the castle with him. They had three more children together after that and then both passed on, Kind of. Gourry passed away shortly thereafter and I followed. All of our children were grown, had married and some had even had grandchildren already." "Wow sounds like trouble just went looking for you. Kinda like it does me." "Yes Harry, trouble had a knack for finding me. It seems to have passed onto you now though." "Great." Harry mumbled dejectedly. "Don't worry you will learn that some trouble just makes you stronger. I must go now Harry. Please be careful." and with that Lina slowly disappeared and Harry began to awaken. %%End Dream Sequence%% Waking up Harry sighed. Looking over at the clock he realized that he would soon have to start dinner. Getting up he went downstairs running into his Aunt Petunia. She looked like she had been crying and... was that a bruise on her jaw? Harry was bewildered. "Aunt Petunia? Are you alright?" "Harry! He... Vernon...He...hit me." his aunt sobbed out. "Don't worry Aunt Petunia we will be out of here soon. He won't get away with this." Harry promised her hoping that Remus and Sirius would write soon. After he got Petunia calmed down he started dinner knowing that if it weren't done by the time Vernon got home from work there would be hell to pay. That night had been hectic. Vernon had got home and immediately started in on him and his aunt. Had even smacked Dudley across the face for whining about having to be on a diet. Later that night he awoke to Hedwig softly nipping his ear. "Hey girl. You have the letter for me." Hedwig hooted softly and held out her leg in which Sirius and Remus' response was tied. Untying the parchment from her leg Harry opened it and began to read. Cub, Yes we're both doing fine. We have some things to tell you. We will be there tomorrow. I hope things don't get even worse before we get there. Yes we remember Pet and will be there. We have already figured out a way but we need to speak it over with your aunt first. Love, Padfoot and Moony Harry couldn't wait for the morrow and immediately went back to sleep thoughts of getting away from Vernon on his mind. %%Dream Sequence%% "Welcome back Harry." "Hullo Lina." "It seems to me that things are escalating and it is time you started learning the truth." "Learning what? Black Magic? Which truth?" "Yes Black Magic and every truth dealing with you." "Start with anything dealing with me." "Okay. First off you are my descendant. My daughter Sakura married Xellos and Zelgadis' son Sora. So since you are descended from that line you have not only my magical prowess but Xellos' Mazoku blood and some Chimera blood in you. My son Hajime married Zelgadis and Amelia's Daughter Emiko. That line your friend Ron's mother is descended from. No real relation except as very distant cousins perhaps. Valgaav married Amelia and Zel's son Akihiko and from that line the Malfoys descend from. There is definitely no relation there. Which is good." "Wow. That is interesting. Though right now Ron and myself aren't on good terms." "Well of course that one would get Gourry's Jellyfish for brains and my temper. Uggh. Moving on to teaching you Black Magic. We are going to start with basic spells and what not before we go further into the more powerful ones. You won't be needing your wand either Harry." "Okay." With that the training began. Harry was pushed to his limit. The first spell he learned was lighting. Then Sleeping, Raywing, Levitation, Healing, Recovery, Resurrection and a few other spells. "That is it for today Harry. You need to wake up now. Later." %%End Dream Sequence%% As Harry awoke he realized something was off. There was a sense of dread in the air. Little did he know how bad things were. TBC... A/N2" Okay all. How did I do? Please Comment, criticize, Review, You've obviously read it to get here so :) I would appreciate some feedback please?
