A/N Thank you to Fanficnewbie and Outerworldgal. If it wasnt for you two I wouldn't be rewriting this story. Inspired by Midnight Ember's Inheritance story.
Prologue
Elementals are some of the most powerful magic users ever to walk the earth. Only the Heir of Slytherin can control them.
To be an elemental wizard they must meet two requirements. They must have trained under one of the five Heavenly Way masters and be the only living disciple.
After Lord Voldemort's return, he noticed a group of five seals on the inner part of his left forearm. Each seal indicated a living elemental one of fire, water, air, earth, and lighting.
Marvolo's POV
He was contemplating on how to find his elementals when Lucius Malfoy walked in unannounced and uncalled. Dragging his 15-year-old son behind him.
Marvolo sat on his throne in his plain black robes. Normally when meeting his men he wore his Slytherin robes that held the crest. With the help of Lucius, Corbin, and Benjamin he was slowly preparing his return into the Wizarding World. Not just as Lord Voldemort but also as Marvolo Slytherin the man to become Lord Slytherin.
To the Wizarding World, he was a cousin to Lord Voldemort. One who refused to join the Dark Lord. Only his elite would know the truth.
His looks and sanity had begun to return in the weeks since he rebirth. Pettigrew had botched the ritual and it had almost cost him everything. It was only with Severus's help that he was able to regain so much so quickly.
Lucius said bowing low in greeting drawing him from his thoughts, "My lord I have found one of your elementals. It is my son Draco the air elemental."
He said coldly to the boy, "Show me your right wrist."
The boy displayed the wrist in questions there was a silver and black Celtic band running around it. This was his air elemental.
He turned back to Lucius and ordered, "We will do the claiming ceremony tomorrow night. He needs to choose his mentor before then."
Lucius nodded. It would most likely be the elder Malfoy who would be chosen as the mentor. He wanted his elementals to have their mentors to be from his inner circle. Though he didnt have any control over who they choose.
Mentors had to be someone they trusted beyond all others. If the elemental didnt trust their mentor the bond would never form. Then they would never reach their full potential.
Before anything else could be said however the door opened. Benjamin and his grandson entered. Even at the distance, he could see an emerald green and black band on Theodore's right wrist.
His earth elemental then. Two of the five elementals showing up so easily. Somehow he didn't think the other three would be so easy.
It shouldn't have surprised him. Benjamin was one of his original Knights. His strong heart and loyalty allowed him to rise through the ranks quickly.
The very heart that his grandfather possessed was passed down onto young Theodore. While Benjamin could no longer fight Theodore could. By the look in his brown eyes, he would as well.
Benjamin bowed as he greeted, "My lord. As per your request, I have kept an eye on Theodore. This band appeared on his wrist last week. On top of that, there have been signs of unusual magic around the manor. In fits of anger, the parts of the manor would shake."
Fits of anger brought out their powers in the beginning. It would take time with him before they would learn control. Air and Earth. They were gentler than Fire and Lightning. Water would be the gentlest of the five souls. Fire the most violent. Lightning the most unpredictable.
The tattoos on his arm linked him to the five elementals. As he found each one they would gain color. The more he added the easier it would be to sense them.
Tomorrow he would claim both boys. For now, however, he would let the boys choose their mentors.
Harrison's POV
He laid out on the rooftop of the school that he found. Yoochun left him in a barely familiar country. Not that he blamed his master for it. As he was now he was useless.
In his fight with Voldemort, less than a month prior destroyed the ki lines in his shoulder. Part of the problem with having the ki lines destroy in a single part of the body was that ki couldn't follow there. He wasnt able to use any of normal fighting techniques because of it.
Lightning fang had to be used on his left side. Thunder Break also had to be used on the left side. They were the only techniques that did require having elemental ki going over his entire body.
The second issue was the ki was leaking into his body unregulated by his center and lines. Leaking ki into the body would poison it. According to Yoochun, he would be dead within a year.
A sigh escaped him. Unless he could find a way to fix that lines his shoulder he was going to die. Currently, there were no known ways to fix it. He wasnt one to give up without a fight.
His broken lines wasnt the only problem he had. Holding up his right arm he looked at the azure blue and black band that encompassed his wrist. It had appeared a few weeks ago along with hellfire like pain coursed through his body. When the pain faded the mark was there.
It was just like when he became the Lightning Tiger's disciple. Yoochun also is known as the Lightning Tiger performed a disciple master ritual. Under his shirt lay on the right side of his back lay a white and black tiger with blue lightning coursing over it. It had a single claw outstretched to where it lay just above his heart.
His disciple mark was his pride and joy. Yoochun treated him as a son and disciple at the same time. To Harrison, he was the father that he never had. Being left by the man was too painful to describe. He understood why. It still hurt.
Questions ran through his mind without answers. For now, he would just have to wait and continue searching for a cure for his predicament. It wouldn't be easy but it was the only plan he had.
