Hogwarts during the holidays is quiet especially since most students are gone and the halls empty. I silently sneak around towards the library and entering it under the invisibility cloak I'm using for now. I silently creep to the restricted section and start making my way to the antheum where the book is located. I start to wonder how peeves in the game was able to get the pages in the game. Can ghosts or poltergeist go through the archways without needing the ancient magic because they're already dead?
As I past a bookshelf I hear muffled voices and see Ron Weasley with Seamus and Dean looking around the books. So stupid every older student knows that the books are charmed to scream if taken without permission.
Ahhhhhhhhhh
And the idiots drop the book open still screaming and run past me but well the idiots need to be taught a lesson so I trip Ron and cause all of them to fall as I continue onto the chamber. As I get to the storage area I start looking for stuff to take. A few books containing spells, Some old potion stuff, old rune carving kits, and the giant troll armor. Getting to the chamber archway i activate the ancient magic and enter the antheum. I fight my way through the sentries and collect the various chests before collecting the book and seeing the pensieve memory. I make my way back to the library and just in time seeing Snape and filch having caught Ron and the others. Oh what idiots first thing to do is try to lie but seriously stating your looking for information on Flamel now makes things a little bit harder. Hmm maybe I can have them do the tasks and I confront Voldemort and use a floo- flame to the great hall where Amelia and several aurors will be waiting from a letter prepared ahead of time. Oh Dumbledore is going to loose almost all trust that the teacher's have in him. He'll be watched closely and possibly loose his position as headmaster this time. Then I couldn't get to Lockhart and second year won't happen. Hmm decisions decisions. No I won't involve the aurors yet but I'm not going to let this slide. Anonymous letter to Rita Skeeter detailing the entire encounter. Soon leaving the library and making it back out of the castle I head straight for the forbidden forest.
Ding free gacha refilled.
I draw my gacha for today and get.
Summon - scàthach (permanent)
I don't know how to feel about this draw on one hand I have arguably the best lancer in mythology but I know she wants to die and her life is now connected to mine. Out of any summons I could grab several scare me to hell.
Eldritch beings, any person from 40k Warhammer, scàthach, esdeath,then sakuya izayoi.
Yawn. I'm tired so I might just get some sleep. I wave my wand summoning the knight bus and paying the fee for the worst yet best ride in a bus. Getting home and hitting the bed I dream of you know who.
And no it's not Voldemort but scàthach. I see her cutting down wraiths and other beings of the land of shadows. Her form even better than Artoria's her Celtic magic runes and her use of gàe bolg, and its alternative. Soon I wake up from the dream with Artoria shaking me awake. A large smile across her face.
" Kyros I've brought the fake Excalibur fragments and the ones you created are actually better than these poor excuses of swords." Says Artoria happily showing the Excalibur fragments. I immediately put them into my sacred gear and we begin to spar after breakfast. As the swords clang against each other I start using my sacred gear creating small caltrops to keep her on uneven footing but she lives up to the name of Pendragon still beating me. Around midday I go back to hogsmeade and slunk off into the forbidden forest.
The forest is huge larger than what is shown in game, it took me close to the evening to find the bird bath for the entrance to jackdaws tomb. After saying the password " intra muros".
" I'd advise you to stop what you're doing this power belongs to the dark Lord " says a death eater behind me, " it be a shame that I have to spill pureblood but if you continue to defy me I will."
I immediately whip around and cast expelliarmus and a accio glacius diffendo combo covering the area with severed frozen body parts. Death eaters are really weak but then again I haven't met the inner circle yet, and I have no qualms in using brute force when I have to. Entering the tomb , fighting spiders and collecting everything into my inventory I find jackdaws remains or the outline on the floor. Grabbing the still preserved pages I then fight the guardians before entering the map chamber. As I exit I check my watch and see if is morning meaning I got another free draw which I immediately use before meeting with the portraits.
Rare - sinister cloth (Pokemon)
I enter the chamber and put the book onto the pedestal activating the map chamber.
" Ahh looks like someone found the book we were beginning to loose hope that ancient magic wielders would be no more." Says Percival Rackham," may I ask who you may be?"
" My name is kyros Black and I'm a first year in Hogwarts." I say surprising him.
" A first year I'm surprised they teach all the advanced spells needed to get here during First year." Says Rackham.
" Actually my friends and I are ahead of everyone by several years. " I say," we have to be because of the current headmaster is a manipulative old man. A dark lord hiding in the light he portrays. "
" Oh dear that's concerning, I take it that isn't the only thing." Says Rackham.
" No sir there is another dark lord whose escaped death and has used horcuxs as a means to prolong the inevitable. He also knows about ancient magic but I don't know how much he knows." I say.
" Oh that is concerning. We the keepers will help as much as we can training you for your trials we've set up ,but we have to judge you on your mentality after every trial. I hope you understand." Says Rackham worried for the knowledge he's about to give.
" Of course professor Rackham I understand. " I say knowing the danger that Isidora caused with the knowledge she wielded on ancient magic, " sir I have a question. "
" Ask away " says Rackham
" Have you ever come across the other supernatural factions during your time?" I ask.
" Yes we the keepers have come across the other factions. We had to be careful due to ancient magic being rare even among them." Says Rackham," I believe you encountered some."
" Yes my friend Lyra and I have sacred gears and another friend Hermione has a aunt that is one of the top ten exorcist for the church, as well as a cousin and friend who's able to wield Excalibur fragments. "
" Oh that is quite the group you have I believe you also want to include them on this secret?" Asks Rackham. I nod my head and prepare to leave.
" I wish you well on these trials when you start them. " Says Rackham as I leave.
As I exit the map chamber to the dungeons I decide to go floo to the room of requirement. As I get there I see Helena huddled up on the sofa crying. I immediately go to her and hug her as she cries. When she calms down she tells me about the mirror of erised and what she saw. I console her and hold her till she cries herself to sleep. I drape the Hufflepuff quilt over us and fall asleep.
Step two is now complete I now have to wait till they believe I'm ready for the first task.
