Hello everyone, I'm here with an announcement. Honestly, I don't know what to do with the story right now. The problem is that the plot has reached a blockage. My current plan is to send Rubeus to other universes after a big timeskip. That was the plan in the first place. Rubeus would travel to other universes thanks to a magic or item he found, while participating in various events in marvel and wizarding world. If you have any other ideas, feel free to suggest them to me.
Maybe I can even start writing another fanfic.
I have made great progress in writing rules compared to when I first started. Maybe I can write a new story without the mistakes I made in the beginning.
I would be happy if you support me on my pa(tre)on account.

15 July 1943
It's our third day in the bloody forest. All I can say is that I wholeheartedly agree with Emily's view that the forbidden forest pocket dimension is not a suitable holiday destination, and I'm a druid so that should say something. Never in my life have I been so grateful for anti-pest spells that repel small insects and mosquitoes. It would be nice if it was just various insects. We were attacked twice the other day, firstly by a group of wild crups that attacked us while we were travelling during the day. These were magical animals that normally look like jack russel terriers with forked tails. They are normally very friendly to wizards. I emphasise normally because there is nothing normal about these creatures. Firstly, they looked more like wolves than dogs. Secondly, they were not friendly at all. Even though I used Voxnaturae and various druid methods, they attacked us with great ferocity and I could not calm them down in any way. I think they were an artificial species created by mages living in the forbidden forest with various experiments. In the end, we knocked them out and imprisoned them in a suitable room inside the magic tent. The second attack took place at night while we were sleeping in the tent. A group of Amazonian salamanders attacked us. Or rather, they attacked our fire pit. God, we weren't even amazons. Thank Merlin they were friendlier than their crup mates, I had convinced them with voxnaturae to go inside the tent and stay there until they reached their new habitat. The reason for imprisoning them instead of killing or chasing them was very simple, I wouldn't want to release them all into my pocket dimension after this trip was over. My pocket dimension's progress has been very good. Veronica and I managed to get a few specimens of almost every non-magical plant and animal that could be found on the islands and put them there, and thanks to the pocket dimension's own magic, these creatures multiplied and grew rapidly. According to Radagian, the reason for this impossibly fast cycle of reproduction and growth was the pocket dimension. Just as the pocket dimension of the forbidden forest changed the shape of its land mass to prevent humans and other intelligent species from reaching its centre, my pocket dimension allowed creatures to multiply at impossible speeds without the use of magic in order to create an ecosystem within it as quickly as possible. According to Radagian, this process will stop when the pocket-sized ecosystem reaches a reasonable size. The problem is the magic species. Due to the war in Europe, the sale of many magical creatures was severely restricted. Veronica's contacts were in Russia, so she couldn't help much, so it was extremely difficult to get magical creatures. The pocket dimension also seems to be struggling to support magical creatures. So we decided to capture as many magical creatures as possible on this journey to the forbidden forest. Both plants and animals.
Anyway, today was the third day of the journey and thanks to Merlin, there was no attack yet. With what I felt with Voxnaturae, I immediately sat up and looked at the area behind us. God I hate my big mouth.
Behind us, a group of Thornback spiders were running towards us in last form. Don't look at me when I say a group, I felt at least a hundred spiders. Considering how fond Thornback spiders are of human flesh, I knew that we had no bargaining power. Veronica noticed the spiders at the same time as me. We both knew that we couldn't fight with such a large swarm. Without the need to talk, we started driving the heidels at full speed.
On the one hand, I cast the wild rage spell and strengthened my physical strength and battle instinct. I could feel a great rage and fight desire coming from my giant side. On the other hand, I drew my wand and turned it into a bo staff with the war staff spell. This spell was a druid spell that turned the wand into an extremely strong and hard bo staff according to the magic of the person who applied it. When I cast the spell, the staff was stronger and harder than steel. It also did not lose the properties of a wand. Just a moment later, I swung my staff at a spider that jumped towards me from a tree I was passing by, and I hit it and threw it to the side, this hit shattered its shell. At the same time, Vetonica sliced another spider jumping towards her into two pieces with a cutting curse. We were both riding heidels and casting as many spells as we could. Apart from occasionally dealing a solid blow with my staff to spiders that got too close to me, I was constantly casting lightning bolts left and right, along with anti-spider charms. When more spiders came towards me than I could handle, I sent out a thunderwave to fry them. My biggest problem was that I couldn't sustain such a large energy consumption for long. Veronica was riding with all her might about ten metres in front of me. This distance was necessary to avoid being affected by each other's field-style spells. If I was a threat to the spiders, Veronica was a walking natural disaster. Curses I had never heard of before and various weapons created by transfiguration rained death on everything in their path, making Veronica look like a goddess of war come down to earth. Veronica was surrounded by a black coloured energy shield that I had never seen before. An unfortunate spider had just thrown itself at the shield and was torn to shreds as if it had been through a meat grinder. Veronica angrily sent out another curse. The curse not only blew up the spider it hit. It exploded in the spider's fragments, killing at least twenty more spiders before the curse wore off. Unfortunately, the swarm was larger than the hundred or so spiders I had first realised, and it was all around us.
Veronica 'How could they surround us so quickly.' Just the tone of her voice showed the extent of her anger.
Rubeus 'I don't know. The voxnaturae were quiet until we felt the first spiders.'
Damn these spiders, they shouldn't even be here. The Ministry of Magic had cleared this area more than once in the past 10-20 years. How could they have allowed such a large swarm of spiders to exist? Was the Ministry of Magic doing anything useful in any universe?
Veronica let out another scream of rage as she walked in front of me. Then she pointed her wand straight in front of her and cast a spell in a language I had never heard before, but it sounded like it was coming from hell. As she finished her words, a huge pillar of fire with a dragon's head, wide and big enough for five cavalrymen to pass side by side, came out from the tip of her staff and burned everything in front of us. The fire was not limited to this, but instead of going out, it broke into pieces as if it had its own intelligence. It began to hunt the surrounding spiders. Veronica was not satisfied with this, she moved her wand in a complex way and cast another spell. This time the rocks and soil around us turned into golems and shot towards the spiders that were still trying to intercept us, giving us enough time to leave the blockade. The spiders chased us for another minute or so and then turned back with an angry sound coming from the back of the swarm, but it seemed like hours to me. Veronica was strangely silent during this time and didn't cast any more spells.
Ten minutes later Veronica's heidel stopped on its own.
Rubeus was like, 'What happened? Why ...' and I saw Veronica's face and my words caught in my throat. Her face was white as paper and her hands were shaking uncontrollably. It was obvious that the great magic show she had performed had cost her dearly. She was running out of magical energy.
I immediately jumped off the heidel. I went to help her down.
Veronica tried to resist for a moment, as if to reject me, but she was so weak that her resistance lasted only a moment. 'We have to keep going. We can't stop now.'
I continued to lower her without listening to her.
Rubeus said, 'They gave up on us ten minutes ago. We're safe now.'
With those words, she was so relieved that she collapsed on top of me and fainted. I think the last thing that kept her going was the thought that we were still in danger. I immediately took out my staff and turned the nearby soil into a bed. I had no time to set up the tent. Then I took out a potion from my backpack that would help Veronica recover faster. Unfortunately, there was no cure or potion that would cure this kind of magical energy depletion immediately. The only remedy was to rest as much as possible. Even the potions I gave her were more like nutritional tonics than healing potions. As soon as I noticed some colour returning to Veronica's face, I immediately started making protection and alarm charms around us. I didn't know how to set up a ward yet, and as you might expect, I wasn't as good with charms as Veronica was. Still, it was better than being unprepared in case anything went wrong.
After setting up the tent, I carried Veronica into the tent.
Then I went out and stood guard. The Heidels were standing near the tent as they had been trained.
Unlike Veronica, I didn't use very powerful spells. I only used thunderwave once as an area effect, but other than that I was content with simple single target spells and my physical strength.
Veronica, on the other hand, always used complex curses and shapeshifting. Especially those last two spells; the pillar of fire was almost 70 metres long and wide enough for five cavalrymen to pass side by side. It also began to disintegrate and hunt spiders as if it had a mind of its own. The only spell I know of that could act as if it had a mind of its own was fiendfyre. Maybe what he used was some kind of derivative magic like Grindelwald created. After all, countless geniuses had been born over thousands of years. Some of them may have created derivative spells of fiendfyre like Grindelwald.
When I felt tired, I drank a potion to keep me awake and vigorous. Today I had to stand guard until the morning, as there were no wards that Veronica normally set up.
