Disclaimer: I do not own the magnificent works of J.K. Rowling or Tamora Pierce, all I can do is try to imitate their great works. Alas I do not wish to be sued so that is why I beg those two great goddesses of literature to NOT smite me for what I'm about to do. –grins evilly-
A/N: I don't know if there will be any explicit scene in this story, It's implied Harry/Tom however but so far that's only been in the first chapter, Daine is a little OOC in this chapter but then wouldn't you be too if voices where screaming in your head 'forbidden, forbidden.'? I mean really. Light Dumbledore bashing because we won't be there very long anyway. And there's a vague reference to English Literature that not every one will be familiar with. Don't like don't read. Thank you for reading this blurb and please review.
Chaotic Magics. Book:1.
Ch:1. When Titans Clash
The Final Battle.
"Tom."
"Harry."
"Forgive me?"
"I already have love." And with those last words Tom Marvolo Riddle also known as the Dark Lord Voldemort took his last breath leaving Harry James Potter better known as The-Boy-Who-Lived to cry over the corpse of the only man who had ever loved him for himself.
"Harry! Are you there?"
"Harry, you've done it!"
"Mr. Potter you have completed the prophecy at long last." Came Dumbledore's voice through the noise, "Your parents would have been proud. However Harry, because of your actions here today I'm afraid we can not allow you to remain outside of jurisdiction of the Ministry. The Wizarding World is just not safe with someone of your power running lose. Come along Mr. Potter . . . I said come along my boy."
Slowly Harry stood up but instead of moving to follow his former Headmaster he kept staring at the lifeless body at his feet.
"Have you ever heard the story of Harrison Bergeron Headmaster? It's a muggle short story of a young muggle man who was smarter and stronger than any of the other muggles. Due to the current government that superiority was considered a bad thing. So they put blocks on his power so that he would be lowered to the same capability as everyone else. But even that was not enough and one day Harrison removed those blocks forced upon him 'for his own good'. Though he was eventually killed that was not the point of the story; No the point was that communism was a bad thing and trying to make everyone the equal to everyone else was impossible and often did more harm then good." Harry turned around and lifted his head causing his audience, those that had survived the final battle, to gasp in horror.
Harrys trademark emerald eyes were no more. In their place were two completely white orbs with two tiny black dots that could have been pupils if there were any actual iris to define them. As they were they were disturbing in the extreme.
"Do you think me a fool Dumbledore? Do you think I wouldn't find out what you did to me?" Slowly Harry raised a hand that was gently cupping something small and shinning. "More importantly old man, do you know what this is?"
During Harry Potters speech emotions had flickered across the Headmasters face ranging from grandfatherly amusement to all out horror. "Wha . . . Bu . . But how?"
"Tom." Harry snarled as his fingers curled around the soul of the man whose life he had just taken and brought it swiftly to his chest. A blinding light filled the area that could be seen and felt by all the magical and muggle communities across the planet. When the light at last faded there was nothing left of Harry Potter or the corpse of one Tom Riddle. Instead there was a towering stone in the place where they had been; for years to come both good and evil, light and dark, beast and man, muggle and wizard, of all walks of life would be drawn to that place in order to look upon that stone and the words engraved there.
Only in the arms of my Enemy did I find Love.
Only in the house of my Ally was I Tortured and Abused.
Only One Truth was made known to me.
There is no Light without Darkness.
There is no Darkness without Light.
There is no Light or Darkness.
There are only Shades of Grey.
Ego Veniam Petere Ad Exsequi Et Supra, Ille Lux Ex Meus Nodus Anima.
I ask leave to follow to the grave and beyond, the light of my bondeds soul.
"Thomas! What are you doing in my class room at this hour boy!"
"Master Numair! uh . . sorry. I was just practicing some runes I found in a scroll from the library. I er . . thought you were gone for the night sir. Again sorry." And with that the boy fled from the dark classroom and his teachers glare. Numair sighed, he hadn't meant to snap at the boy but whatever he had been doing had begun to cause a reaction in some of his more delicate experiments. Looking out into the darkness of the room he sighed once more before closing the door promising himself he'd clean up the boys mess in the morning.
As the night wore on the runes splayed out across the floor in salt and blessed chalk were illuminated by a beam of moonlight from a high window, as they flashed and pulsed with power animals across the country were sent into a frenzied startlement as they felt the 'forbidden' magic unleash itself into the night.
Veralidaine Sarrasri also known as Daine the Wildmage woke from her peaceful slumber with a heart rending scream. The company of the Kings Own she had been traveling with were up in arms instantly. Alanna the Lioness came charging into the girl's tent sword drawn.
"Daine? What's wrong girl?"
"FORBIDDEN! Please stop! PLEASE!" the girl-child shrieked before tossing herself at the lionesses feet and curling into a small ball chanting 'forbidden, forbidden, forbidden . . ." hesitantly Alanna reached down with a violet glowing hand sending the girl into blissful unconsciousness. The Lioness scooped up the magelet and leaving the tent she began barking out orders to the wary soldiers.
"Break camp, were leaving for Corus within the hour!"
