James appeared in the library to find Dago and Bellatrix on a couch kisses heatedly while Mara was writing on the whiteboard angrily.
Dago jumped away from her as he noticed James. He held up his hands. "Mate. I'm sorry I-" Dago said but paused when James took his hand and tapped Dago's head with two fingers.
Dago blinked rapidly and almost pulled away but James held onto his hand jerking him toward him. Dago focused on James then. "Damn mate. That is a pretty wicked trick. It currently clears up the spider webs in the basement. It's time to pick up where we left off I guess."
"James! What did you do to him?" Mara asked.
James shook his head and he put a finger to his lips silencing her questions as he stared at Dago. "There's nothing to be sorry about bro. I told you before. I understand the situation you have with Bellatrix. We got a situation developing on our hands right now though. Going to need your thoughts on it." James said staring at Dago.
Dago suddenly focused on him. "Yeah. Give me the details. Mara get over here." He said.
Mara hurried over toward them and waited. "What is it? What's going on James?" She said.
"Changes. Because of me. Cole and Axe dropped by they saw the Green house. They'll be bringing over scholars and researchers over to work in the green house and library. Owls will also be here as well to act as security I think this place is about to get crowded and to popular again so it's time for you to get ready." James said staring at Dago.
Dago took a hold on James forearm. "How far did you push it? Was it enough?" He asked.
James let go his hand. Looking to the side. "Check out for yourself? You tell me!"
Mara frowned looking between. Dago turned. "Bring up a footage of the inside of the green house." He said.
Several images happened inside of the greenhouse showed. Dago stared wide eyes going up to the images. One giant image from a magical window appeared before them of Hawks the giant thunderbird in flight lightning the skies. They all stared in amazement.
"What the hell?! Mate! Mate is this all in the green house? One place here?" Dago asked glancing at the several window images.
"James. What have you done?!" Mara said in wonder. "This is much more then what the lost forest was in stage two." Mara said staring at him.
James smiled at the images. "Technically no. But, yeah it's in a pocket dimension with in the green house. It looks like it's able to hold Hawks and the other magical creatures." He said.
"Other magical creatures?!" Mara said in surprise. "James how many magical creatures are living in the green house now?" She asked.
James shook his head. "I don't know love. It's more then a handful but I did spot a new type of phoenix in the air with Hawks." He said.
Mara laughed putting her hands on his face. "What have you done? James what wonderful thing have you done. You created a phoenix. My dear. Do have any idea what you have done?" She said.
James smiled and nodded. "I know. I've created a shit storm of trouble for us. I didn't intend for it but I just wanted to get Hawks back but I also needed up adding more into the green house then I imagined." He said.
"Holy shit. Holy shit. Mate. You brilliant asshole. Do you know what this is? You brilliant asshole. Do you realize what this is?" Dago said.
James shrugged his head. "We raced past Stage 1 into Stage two again. Is all. Nothing more. Nothing less." He said.
"STAGE TWO?! No way mate this is it. This is the shit mate. This is the kick start we needed. You have several new types of neo magical animals. An entire mini realm in a single unit building. We've built the advanced safe guards in place. We have hit all the marks! Now it's time to fire it up to the next level. So my friend. Now with the wake up call you've given me. I can honestly tell you. We have officially hit the beginning of..." Dago said and paused to write on the whiteboard.
"STAGE 3!" Dago said with a grin.
The words glowed as Dago circled the words in a circle. He looked at James with a grin. "You ready!"
James stared at him. "Hawks Landing is gone bro. We lost. They won." He said but then a slow grin formed on his lips.
"James!" Mara gasped.
Dago snorted shaking his head. "You, me and Mara. We are Hawks Landing. We started it all together. We're going to finish it together. They tried to take us out. We came back swinging. It's three years later well six if your really counting extra memories and experience. The ride doesn't end bro." He said.
James smiled and he nodded. "Let's go!" He said.
Dago laughed. "LET'S GO!" He yelled out and turning he punched the words.
STAGE 3! ACTIVIATED. STAGE 3 ACTIVATED!
The library shook and then there was the sound of something turning and clicking into place. Bellatrix was up standing beside Dago as he laughed drawing up plans. There was the sounds of bells above them in the sky.
"Mate. Hit the sky. Create something wonderful! Go!" Dago commanded.
James leaped into an apparition he flew upward. Mara was with him flying upward on a grey enchanted cloud. He smiled at her. "You brought back the grey clouds." He said.
Mara smiled. "I did. Mother took the children for a bit until things settle down. What are those things you have on Bellatrix?" She asked.
"I told you their devices are meant to contain her train her in control and a couple of other things. Now get off that bullshit. It's time to create!" James said.
Mara smiled at him and nodded to him. "What are making?" She asked.
"A song for Silver and Emily." James said.
There was a music in the atmosphere around them. Mara stared at him. "What are you doing?" She said and then her eyes went wide as her voice took on musical qualities to it that echoed around them.
"Taking back our dreams." He said before flying up to spot and with his wand in hand. "Creational Pandorrarum!" He said in echoing voice. The white energy exploded from his wand hitting a spot in the sky and then from out of the tower of the magi appeared.
Mara came to stand back to back with him on her platform. "Let us craft the beginning for end we shall never see. Let us craft the journey for growth and imagination. Let us craft the dream that once was reborn again." She said in echoing voice her created a melody in the air. She took aim with her wand around her. "Somnia de camelot!" Mara said
Melody and white and gold light flowed from her wand as it rocked around them spreading out wide across the skies over the Potter Ranch and then a thick mist surrounded them.
James took Mara's hand and they floated down to a grey stony ground. He lifted his hand expanding out the mist clearing away until they looked around to see white streets around them along side white four white stone buildings and great lake stood just to the south of buildings.
Mara smiled looking around then looked at James and froze at the sight of him. He was dressed in a simple misty blue shirt and trousers. A staff was in his hand as he stared off and then he looked at her. "Come on, love. I expect they will be arriving soon." He said in quiet voice and drew her with him as they walked down a grey stony path toward an open square area that was in the middle of the four buildings
They walked in peaceful silence hand in hand. Mara still questions in her head. James chuckled. "You have questions."
"Yes. I'm sorry." Mara said.
James shook his head. "I don't mind. I just might not have the answers to all your questions. You did good though. You crafted the right spell for the right time. Look whose finally." He said pointing a head to lady with a staff and two young men standing with her.
Mara smiled at the lady. "River Song. You've finally come." She said.
River Song bowed her head. "Your Highness. My lady. I figured it was time for me and the boys to come visit you." She said.
James took River Song's hand and bowed over her hand. "Teacher. Thank you for coming. They will be arriving soon. Do you wish to stay and see them?"
River Song shook her head. "Oh no. I just wanted my sons to see what future they would building on." She said in echoing voice of melody and energy.
James bowed over her hand one last time. James nodded to the young men. They bowed to him. "I will so you two soon." He said.
The three magi disappeared then as James turned as Nick and Angus appeared before them along with several other members of the court of owls.
James waved a hand a wide table appeared. He leaned on his staff and waved them forward. They all followed his silent command standing around the table.
"James. What is this?!" Nick asked.
James waved toward the tower of the magi. "Welcome to Camelot. That is the tower of the magi. That is the sleeping courters for the scholars and researchers. You created the spell for that building. The buildings around are what each member of the table can agree on them to be. Research will be conducted in neo Camelot. A secondary library will here. A back door to the Enchanted glass hour will be made available to you here."
Axe along with the rest of the owls laughed. Neither Nick nor Angus laughed nor seemed happy about the arrangement. Nick sighed and tapped a finger to the table. "What is this supposed to be the round table for the king here?"
James shrugged. "It is simply a place for you and the court to hold your meetings if you so choose for matters concerning business and such." He said.
Nick shook his head. "James could Mrs. Potter leave us for a bit?" He asked.
Mara looked at James. He nodded. 'I'll be fine dear. Go check on Dago and see how he's doing." He said.
Mara nodded and disappeared. Once she was gone Nick and the others drew in closer. Nick waved a hand at the table. "Could you remove the table for now." He asked.
James waved a hand and the table was gone. Nick loosened his tie around his neck. "You don't make things easy for us do you?" He said.
James smiled. "What the fun be in that. What do you think of the place?" He said motioning around them.
Nick stared at him. "It's fine for the researchers and scholars. They'll find it fun and charming. Who thought of the spell you or Mara?' He said.
"Mara of course. What's the problem you're having with the set up here for the researchers?" James asked.
Nick shook his head. "I have no problems with this step you have created for the researchers." He said.
James smiled. "But?" He asked.
Nick smiled back. "However, as we discussed not more then half an hour ago. The owls intend on getting closer to you and your family. It's past time for it. The Calhoun will they be visiting here or on the ranch?" He said.
James sighed. "On the ranch. I think making the trip up here would be to much for them." He said.
"So the owls will also be visiting you and your family on the ranch as well. The researcher don't have to set foot on the ranch unless authorized by you or your father." He said.
James nodded. "Sure." He said.
The others all frowned at him. James stared back. "What?!" He said.
Nick shook his head. "Your up to something." He said.
James shrugged and let go his staff. It disappeared and his gun-belt and peacemaker returned. "Project Hawks Landing is at stage three. It's pretty much coasting along until the end from on or some asshole pops up again to kill me or burn everything down." He said.
Nick stared at him. "James. You promised me." He said.
"I keep my word husk." James said bluntly. "I just can't have strangers I don't know walking around on my land where my kids sleep. You get your researchers. Now. What aren't you telling me?" He asked.
Nick stared at him. "I explained what I wanted and told you honestly what the court wants from you. If you can't trust-" He said.
"No one can hear or see us here. In this place the only people allowed in this space right now is the court of owls. The brothers of the night. So let's talk like equals for once and cut through all the bullshit. In this moment I ain't hiding nothing. This space is for us. I'm fine with letting go of the past if squash any war between us. I'm willing to gamble and trust you and everyone here around my kids and my people but I need something in return." James said.
Nick stared James. "Name it." He said.
"What's his name?" James asked.
Nick stared at him. "The dark Lord behind-" He said.
"Yes. What's his name? It's been three god damn years and you have to have name. A clue, a face or a location. I want that name." He said.
Nick shook his head walking around. "I don't have it James. I've failed it that regard. We all have. He's mystery to this day. Hell I'm not even sure it's one man we're fighting or group of them. We're at stalemate." He said.
"Bullshit!" James said.
"I'M NOT LYING!" Nick yelled back.
"Wait hold up!" Angus said holding up a hand and stepping between them He stared at James. "James. What makes you say that?" He said.
James pointed at Nick. "Who do you think your bosses are? Who do you think told you to come after me and mean? Whose been whispering in your ears about me and my father? Whose been trying to get you to rein me in and get control of the situation. It's not complicated Nick? I already told you. You just wasn't listening." He said.
Nick along with everyone else stared at him. James nodded his head glaring at Nick. "You been looking all around the damn world when the enemy has been sitting right next to you whispering in your damn ear. Shit talking about me."
Nick was shaking his head. "No. No. Shit!" He cursed.
"I want a name Nick. You owe us that much." James said.
Axe nodded his head. "He's right. Nick. Who are they?" He said.
