"Whisper/murmuring"

'thinking' (Without the ' it is a flashback)

Sorry about the long delay as well my mind has been on other things lately.

Dreams were a source of pleasure for some, either for literal pleasure or just the pleasure of having a good dream, those dreams either being of a good life or winning the lottery for example. But with these dreams came the bad sort of dreams, the type that usually only happens when you've had a bad day or watched something scary/thought of something scary.

In a run downed ruin of a castle somewhere in the wild lands of England, a young girl slept on hard rock covered only by what material she could find within the ruined castle and even then she had to result to scavenging from the land to get something that resembled a blanket to cover her for the cold weather of Britain.

How did this girl come to be in this ruined castle you might ask?

This girl, this young girl who is only just approaching her eleventh year of life.

Was Evelyn Rose Potter.

Now you are definitely asking yourself, how did she come to be in this position?

Well its quite simple.

Her Family

It was supposed to be a fun and happy day for Evelyn, after all her supposed family was going on a small four day trip to central London, and whats better her Uncle had decided that she would be fine for those four days, this meant that she wouldn't be going to that cursed cat lady that lives across the road, honestly how many cats did she have.

But regardless, the day the Dursleys left for the 'trip' Evelyn was secretly jumping for joy, though the warning her Uncle had given put a small dampener on her mood for an hour or two. She was able to watch the Television! such a very, very, very rare occasion that was. She didn't have to wake up early the next day to cook food nor do any chores, at least until the day before her family came back of course, though Evelyn had that planned out.

The Day the Dursleys left for the trip was a day she considered for relaxing and de-stressing her body, nothing of import happened on that day other than finally understanding why people enjoy long hot showers or baths. That was bliss.

The Second day, she explored the attic again unfortunately the magical mystical 'whatever it is' trunk remained sealed shut. So that source of time passing was crossed off the list. However just because one option of wasting time was gone didn't mean all others were.

She decided to inspect her amulet, she never really had a chance since she got to truly have a good look at it, even at school. Her Uncle, Cousin or even school bullies would keep distracting her from doing so ... which was a pain sometimes ... literally painful in some cases.

It was beautiful without a doubt, the real gem of the amulet was the ... gem, it was red like blood and Evelyn thought that it might have been a ruby but for some reason something kept telling her that it wasn't, that it was a different type of gem something other than a ruby but she couldn't have answered it even if it was asked as a direct question.

She didn't know enough about Jewelry or Gems or whatever the proper term is.

But she did notice something that she never saw before, there were 8 other small little gems surrounding the big blood red gem, she didn't know if they were just for show or for something else but for now they came off as 'for show'.

Her inspection of the Amulet didn't even last an hour.

So bored was Evelyn that she decided to do the last thing she could have done on a 'vacation' like this ... a chore. To be more specific some gardening.

She quite enjoyed working in the Garden, it was usually always peaceful and calm ... yes she quite like Gardening.

Walking out of the house she headed to the small shed that was situated near the very back of the small property of the Dursley Home, opening it she was greeted with the sight of a somewhat stuffed shed. All things ranging from Work tools, gardening tools, broken toys that were 'lost' over the years.

With a small sigh Evelyn slowly walked her way through the shed to get the gardening clippers/snippers, she didn't bother with gloves she enjoyed working with her bare hands, plus any injuries usually healed within a few minutes anyhow.

When she did finally get what she needed, she was damned exhausted having to move things and junk out of the way, and yes with how much she enjoyed gardening you would think she would move what she used for Gardening closer to the door, unfortunately her cousin knew she enjoyed working on the garden and so took the time to throw the tools and gear she used sometimes all the way at the back of the shed ... stupid Dudley.

By the time she received her tools to garden it was already 12 in the afternoon, she worked on the garden that she secretly called hers, after all her aunt never did anything with it, close to four hours passed by in what seemed a blink of an eye but as she lovingly looked over her garden those were hours well spent.

Dusting herself off she stood to give herself a well deserved stretch, but as she stretched she heard nothing around her. No birds, no cats yowling off in the distance, no cars nothing.

Looking around she saw that the backyard of the Dursley home was as normal as could be so she headed back on inside the house, ignoring the strangeness of literally nothing happening around the house or street.

Walking into the kitchen, she washed her hands and started to pour herself a glass of cold water from the fridge ... and that was when she heard it, a sound as if something was being ripped slowly but so loudly. Nearly dropping her glass from the sound of this ... whatever it was, she placed the glass on the counter and quickly grabbed whatever she could for defense, a knife she had yet to clean.

Gripping the knife in one hand, Evelyn slowly made her way to where the sound came from or rather was still coming from, the backyard. Slowly and as silent as she could she made her way back to the door that lead to the backyard and when she did make her appearance at the door, she was stupefied by what she saw in the Backyard.

In the eyes of Evelyn it was if some type of doorway had opened up, but this doorway wasn't anything like a normal door oh no, there was streaks of energy flying off and out of this 'door' and in truthfulness it looked nothing like what she thought initially.

(For the readers imagine the portals in the witcher 3 ... yeah those type of portals)

She was shocked literally when a hand covered her mouth along with a hand to her shoulder, dragged her back away from the door with quite a bit of force, giving a small and hand covered yell of fright, she turned when she could and raised her knife at the intruder that got into the house somehow.

"Shush girl be silent before they hear you!" The Stranger whispered in a fierce tone, not even looking at her but having his gaze directly on the door/portal.

Miffed at literally being ignored, add on the intrusion of the stranger, Evelyn was both Angry and Scared

"who are you and why are you here!" Evelyn asked the stranger in a harsh whisper, or as harsh as a nine year old, nearing 10 years, could.

The stranger who was cloaked entirely, turned slightly and Evelyn could see what looked like a end of a beard falling out the shadow of the cloaked strangers hood, "If you don't shut up, you will draw the beings from that portal on us and i, no we do not want that. Trust me i will explain everything when that portal closes understood!" Again the stranger whispers to Evelyn in a slightly less harsher tone than his previous 'introduction'

"fine but don't ... don't try anything" Was all Evelyn could muster to say at that point, the Stranger then turned back to looking at the portal and for Evelyn he went still as a statue, and after what felt like hours to her but were really just minutes, the stranger started to relax as the portal started to disappear.

Hearing the Stranger give out a breath he must of been holding in, she decided that now was the time to let this stranger know what would happen to him, regardless of the 'strangeness' of what happened outside.

"Alright mister, i don't know who you are or what .. what that was outside but you better explain right away or i'll ... i'll call the police on you!" She didn't shout at the stranger but her voice was raised. The Stranger turned to her and well she took a step back, man a stranger cloaked entirely really was a scary figure especially if the hood was just shadow.

"Fine and put that knife down, you'll likely hurt yourself if you tried something with it" was all the stranger said, the man now that Evelyn thought about it his voice was definitely male

The cloaked male then moved around Evelyn directly to the lounge room that her family retired to in the evenings to both eat food and watch the television, she saw him take the chair her uncle used and to her she thought he just wanted the single chair to himself for their discussion but in reality, he chose that chair because not only did it give him a view of the backyard but also a small part of the front of the house.

"Sit girl"

As simple as a command as one would get, a command Evelyn noticed immediately and heeded, taking a seat in the family couch, she looked towards the cloaked man.

"Fine then, i'll start explaining. That portal that was just outside this home, was a portal that lead to a realm of pure evil do you understand. Dark creatures roam inside that realm, not wild i must stress but united and with a goal in mind."

The man started and well Evelyn was both scared and well suspicious of what she just heard, honestly another realm yeah and pigs can fly.

"I see that look and can tell what your thinking, but tell me girl, i'll need your name by the way, have you ... received anything as of late?" The Man asked Evelyn and by the surprise on her look he knew that she knew he was right on what he said.

"Aye i know that look well, trust me i know it all too well, you don't have to show me the amulet, i know what it looks like again all too well, but i'll explain anyway. You have been given a great gift but also a massively heavy burden, one that many others have been given before you but failed in their task. This amulet is a literal gateway to dimensions do you understand that?"

"I-I do understand that an-and my name is Evelyn." Was all she said in reply

"A beautiful name that, Evelyn, it suits you" She blushed slightly at the compliment, "But i must tell you, that realm that portal leads to, they will be back once they realize that the Amulet and your blood is here on this realm and when they realize this they will not stop hunting you!"

"If we are lucky, if you are lucky, they will not return for sometime hopefully many years, but it's best not to hold out for that sort of thinking, all my previous wards didn't even see their 20th Birthday; despite how much i fought to protect them. Which is why i'm going to try and lead them away from here, i'll need your blood to do so"

Evelyn while shocked at what she was hearing, was uh what was the word ah right skeptical about this whole thing, especially after hearing what he just said, "Didn't you say that these 'things' will be back for 'my blood', if thats the case then how do i know that your not one of them trying to mislead me" She asked him in an accusing tone, one he was obviously expecting.

"You don't know and for that you will just 'have' to trust me, if you really don't trust me to give your blood to me then a strand or two of your hair should do the trick, hair is afterall the closest to DNA that i will get from you unless you want me to cut off a patch of flesh mhmm?" He ended his statement with a bit of humor in his voice but his intent was clear as day to Evelyn, who after taking a minute to ponder on what he has asked of her, agreed.

"Fine you can take some of my hair, but only two strands! you hear me!" She raised her voice at him, her hair was beautiful to her, but it was two strands of hair or her blood.

With her agreement, the cloaked man moved closer to Evelyn to take two strands of her hair, with a knife or anything he just plucked it right out.

'rude man'

Now that he had her hair in his hand, he looked definitely more relaxed for some reason to Evelyn but before she could ponder on anything, a very loud noise like glass breaking came out from the backyard of the Dursley home, no doubt those 'monster things' had returned.

"Oh no i thought we would have had more time but shit this is too soon" The man uttered to himself, moving in haste he grabbed into his cloak and brought out a ... stone, that was glowing. With a mental sigh mixed in with adrenaline-filled thoughts on what was happening, she just looked up at the man as he grabbed both her hands, placed the stone in one and placed the other over it.

"I will find you, i must lead them away from this place, that stone is a sort of teleport rune, it will take you somewhere safe on this world, one of my previous hideouts, just beware i haven't been on this world for well many years so i don't know what condition that place is in right now, but if i remember correctly it was stocked with food and water along with a bed so you should be fine until i find you." As he was telling her this, they were moving closer to the front door of the Dursley house.

"I don't understand, this is too sudden what abou-" Evelyn was cut off as both heard a crashing sound come from the backyard doorway, no doubt those things had finally entered the house.

"Take the Rune, hold it your chest and the words will come to you, i'll hold them off for as long as i can but you must do as i say right now if you want to live, and don't worry about your family, cruel as it is but they are already dead, these buggers hunt down all forms of blood relations" Was all he said before he turned to face back towards the hallway that lead to the kitchen, which lead to the lounge and the entrance to the backyard.

To Evelyn's shock he draw a glowing sword from his cloak, she knew not how but ... well he did.

"Quickly to your chest and heed the words and speak them!" Was all the man spoke before swinging his blade as if to block a strike and to Evelyn's surprise/shock, there was a sound of steel clashing against each other and if her ears were playing tricks on her then the sparks that flew from both the cloaked mans sword and this ... invisible enemy.

Of course her mind hastened as she saw the cloaked man start to really get into the momentum of pushing back this invisible enemy, remembering what he told her to do, she held the strange stone, rock ... rune or whatever it was and held it to her chest in some false hope that it would do something and to her utter surprise it was if the very world was slowing down around her, and as she looked around in awe of what was happening she saw ... the enemy.

Covered in Black Armor that had spikes poking from its helm and shoulder armor, this thing was very scary looking it didn't help that it had what looked like a bone like face plate on its helm. Not to mention that it was much taller than the cloaked man who she could see had a faint but still glowing light surrounding him. While the thing he was currently battering his sword against was literally pulsing a dark looking glow and ... well that sight alone did not give Evelyn any feelings other than fear.

Focusing back on her task, she gripped the stone/rock/rune harder as she held it as close to her chest as possible, her eyes closed as she tried to block out the sight of that huge armored scary thing and then ...

She heard it

It was if someone was whispering music into her ears, the words she couldn't understand and unknown to her she was repeating them, her mind or mouth working on its own as if to respond or 'sing' along with the whispering music.

To the cloaked man, when he glanced back at the girl who he had now sworn to protect, he saw her start to glow as a long, very long forgotten language was uttered in the world again, a language that he had not heard in ... well he couldn't actually remember how long it had been, he was immortal after all.

Seeing that the girl was activating the rune he had given her, he focused his attention entirely on his foe in the hopes of giving the girl enough time to get away and then make his own escape, only to blanch slightly as more of the buggers started to appear behind his initial foe. Immediately seeing the impending defeat, he started to slowly walk backwards to his ward, luckily as he made his way back to the girl she had just started to finish her 'song'.

Pushing his hand out towards the growing number of enemies starting to fill the small hallway, his fingers in a weird position, if Evelyn wasn't in a trance like state she would see what was literally a wall of air push back and stagger the growing number of enemy and within seconds the cloaked man had gripped Evelyn's shoulder just as she finished her 'song'.

And in a flash of light the two were gone from the House of the, no doubt, late Dursley Family, gone from Surrey, gone from anywhere close to civilization but still within London.

And in a flash of light the cloaked man and his young ward, were dropped unceremoniously onto a ruined, debris covered floor. The cloaked man, used to such teleportation, was up in seconds and despite being slightly out of it from the sudden drop looked around his once stocked safe house. His safe house was destroyed and no doubt looted over the course of time.

With a sigh, he moved and picked up Evelyn and moved her to an area that didn't have the open sky above them; in the case it rained. Laying her on the ground he went about trying to find something to cover her now shivering form, the open ruins that was his safe house had one hell of a breeze.

And as he went about trying to scavenge some form of protective layering for girl, he never saw the amulet around her neck glow slightly, nor did he see a large chest drop from a small rip in reality. Of course he did wondering for but a second where the chest came from when he returned but he had seen something similar before and as he stood watch over the girl, sending out small pulses of energy he started to revisit memories of a long gone time, a time where he had been truly happy, a time where magic and other realms did not exist or were known of.

Alas those memories brought back bad thoughts of when that time was ripped from him by those creatures of that other realm, those cursed things oh how he loathed them, and as much as he tried to kill them off or block there portals they always found a way to reopen them.

But after he was found by his God many ages ago, when he was given his eternal life and mission. Well he would bide his time and do what he could to help the wards he was to look after.

After all those who hold the Amulet of Kings could rip open realms of different realities, but they could also shut them and if going by what he remembered being told; could destroy realities.

So he would do all he could to help his current ward, he had a damn good feeling about this one, a feeling he had never had before. This feeling didn't even equal the nervousness he felt when he asked his love to marry him; oh how he missed her and their children.

And so he stood watch, guarding the unconscious form of Evelyn Potter, not knowing that by having her use that teleport rune; a rune crafted by the energies that also created the Amulet of Kings, had unlocked her full potential, her access to the ancient magicks had been unlocked, she would eventually discover that she would be able to do things no other person could even dream of doing.

Such was the potential ... of a God.

So yeah, that first night when she escaped the Dursley Household had been one hell of a sleep, of course when she woke she gave one hell of a scream of fright when she saw that cloaked fello standing over her. And with that sudden fright had led to one hell of a kick to the nads for the cloaked man.

After fully waking up, she realized what she had done and had started to apologize to the man, after all according to her uncle; after she eavesdropped on the conversation of course; a kick to that location on a male was the ultimate KO ... whatever a KO was.

After that ... event was over and the man recovered, he ended up leading her to a small alcove; ruined by time of course, conveniently now having a grand view of a massive landscape that took her breathe away; where a small campfire was busy cooking up some ... cute little rabbits, she glared at the man for the horror he committed.

But with a sigh she realized that she was very hungry, her stomach growling like a wild beast, with a blush on her face she quickly walked over the the 'meal' and sat down waiting for the cloaked man to hand her, her regrettably bad choice, of breakfast.

With a small sigh and the silent utter of something sounding similar to children, he also walked over and gave her a rabbit; honestly they were all could find when he went to go find some food; before taking his own and eating it.

He had finished his rabbit very quickly; the damn things were tasty; and decided to look out at the landscape to pass the time while he waited for Evelyn to finish her meal.

Evelyn seeing that the cloaked man's attention went to the great view, she started to eat her poor rabbit a bit more quickly, she had the sudden feeling that a massive conversation was about to happen. Finishing her meal, she gave a silent but loud enough "I'm done"

The man's attention went straight to her.

"Right then, i believe now that it is time i properly introduce myself. After all i can't always go by 'Cloaked Guy' can i?" He started off and finished with a bit of humor in his tone, Evelyn looked a bit shocked that he was able to pick up that she called the cloaked strange 'Cloaked Guy' in her thoughts, and while in the process of thinking how he did so, he cut her thought process off.

"How did i know? ... well when you live as long as i have, you tend to pick up a lot of things along the way, one of those is being able to read peoples body language. Comes in handy sometimes." He told her, before shifting his view back to the landscape they both could see from their current position.

"Its strange, i've been alive longer than any man, women, or beast on this world and yet despite having seen many numerous views, i always prefer this one. But unfortunately the view isn't what we're here for. What we're here for is about you ... Evelyn Potter, daughter of James and Lily Potter, descendant to the line of the blood of the first gods; The Elder Gods as they would be called."

"But first before we really get into this conversation that will no doubt bore you senseless. I must tell you my name, because as i said earlier i can't always be known as 'Cloaked Guy' can i hmm?" With a small chuckle, he turned to face her and he pulled the hood of his head.

"My name is Cassian, The Sworn Protector of the Line of the Elder Blood; your current protector; i will be your teacher in the arts of Politics and Diplomacy, of War and Power. But the main thing i will teach you ..."

In an ominous tone, he spoke directly at her, dead in the eyes, she paid attention to what he was about to tell her.

"Is how to survive against those that seek to claim your blood"

So this is all i will write for this chapter as i literally am stumped on what else to write so i think ill end it here and continue on the next chapter via flashbacks or just disregarding what i put up in the top author notes and add one more 'prologue' chapter ... but truthfully i won't as i want to get the story rolling a bit.

Now no doubt you might recognize a few things or similarities that i've written in this chapter, i think the main one that would stand out is - The Witcher; Elder Blood that sort of thing but i will of course be changing that so that is correlates with Akatosh and what not i'll somehow make it work ... hopefully.

Anyway, personally i think what i've written here is pretty damn good and excluding maybe around 120+ words this chapter is over 4,000 words. When is a damn feat for me i think.

Anywho leave a review if you feel like you need to add something or suggest something

OH

that reminds me, i need a name for the species of 'the other realm' that are going to be hunting Evelyn, i cannot think of one. In a way they are similar, appearance wise, to the Wild Hunt in the Witcher 3, but they are completely different in my mind and i'll somehow, somewhere put in that info in a future chapter. So as i said i need to think of a name for them so i would appreciate it if you could leave a suggestion-review about their name, their race and maybe a bit of detail into these 'hunters' i truly would appreciate it. If i think of something myself and i have a few reviews that have got some good info for a suggested name, race etc. I'll chuck up a Authors Note chapter stating that i will have a poll on my profile regarding choices that sort of thing.

Anyway as i was saying, leave a review for comments or suggestions and i hope that you stick around for future chapters.

Jazza out!
