Chapter 26: The Glade of the Unicorns Part 1
The trip on Moons back had just started, and Albus was somehow feeling happier than any other time in his life. He could not describe the feeling; it seemed like all his bad memories were drawn out of him, never going to be able to return.
That is the magic of the unicorn glade. No bad thought, act or memory is able to penetrate the home of the unicorns. This is why a unicorn is so pure. They are born here, live here and only come out to graze. The only thing that can change a unicorn into a fallen one is something terrible, something that is almost impossible to live through for a unicorn. Only the strongest ever make the change.
Lightning sighted as he finished and looked sorrowful at the stars that were over them. Suddenly he let out a loud scream and ran into the thick trees and the shadows seemed to melt around him and conceal him from sight.
[Where are you going lightning? Wait!]
#Do not worry, he will come back. Lightning just needs to mourn and release some of his anger. Do you wish to watch him and maybe learn some of the unicorn magic? I know he won't have anything against it. Even if he did, I am more that a good match for him.#
[I would be honored.]
#So will it be. But stay back by the trees. Lightning's magic can often get pretty violent and the dark creatures of the forest feel drawn to the energy and fight him. It is one of the most spectacular things I have ever seen.#
[It sounds like lightning is a very powerful unicorn.]
#Yes, that he is, and it was not easy for him. He has lost his parents in an early age, needed to live through hard times and always had many enemies. Plus he is a fallen one, so many hunted him and the others expected him to fight their battles for them.#
[Lightning reminds me of young Harry. Is there some connection between him and lightning?]
#There is, but you need to see for yourself to understand. But remember, lightning had a hard life. He may be a fallen one, but he is still the same. What he has done, was not to hurt you, but to protect you.#
[Ok, I will keep that in mind.]
#Here he is, climb of my back and stay by the trees.#
Getting of the unicorns back, Albus sat himself down on one of the many thick roots. Looking out at the clearing, he was astounded at what he was seeing. About twenty or so creatures had surrounded the unicorn in a ring,
[I don't even know half of the creatures out there, how does he know how to kill them?]
#He does not, he just fights them with everything he has.#
Then suddenly there were shadows all around the unicorn and kept it in a ball of darkness.
#Look closely and you will know Harry's and lightning's secret.#
Nodding, Albus eyes turned back to the ball of shadows that was currently getting smaller and smaller. Then he saw it, Harry was standing there, a broadsword in one hand and a ball of flames in the other. Totally shocked, Albus just sat there, watching Harry fight the rest of the creatures and then walk to him and Moon. Harry then started to talk to Moon, but made it so Albus would be able to hear too.
I hope that you are happy now!
#Very! You needed to tell him anyway. And what better way then when you are too tired to win in a fight against me.#
[Harry?]
Yes Professor Dumbledore it's me. I hope that you are not angry with me for not telling. There was this little annoying voice in my head that forbid me to tell you.
*I did not forbid you to do anything Lightning! I merely reminded you of what is best.*
[Who are you?] Albus asked, overcoming his shock quickly.
*I am Lightning, the spirit of the fallen unicorn.*
Very sorry to interrupt, but we need to go.
#We can stay here a bit longer, the others still need to get to the valley.#
*Sorry, but the kid is right. The unicorn are about to lift the charms on the entrance. Just use the shadows and transport yourselves there.*
Harry quickly turned to Albus.
I will transport you and Moon with the shadows to the valley. Do not worry, nothing can stop the shadows and I will be there soon. Just stay with Moon when you are with the others. He will show you the unicorn magic he promised.
#So you knew we were coming.#
Your thoughts were so loud, they could have woken the dead. Now stop blabbing and stand still. I will come later, I still need to do something.
With that, Harry held up both hands to the dark forest and the shadows began to fly around them. Turning to Moon and Albus, the shadows flew to them and in the next instance they were in a ring of darkness.
