Well sort of LOL
Ancients ascended is just not cooperating, I mean the next chapter is all planned out and I know what needs to go where it just is not happening.
So I do have this other little thing I have been thinking on.
A darker story in that it definitely involves non consensual sex and domination, of course it also involves a powerful Harry that kicks ass and approaches his 5th year with his eyes wide open. So that means it goes off on a tangent after the 4th book. Now the question is is the world ready for an Unseele Harry
Now without further what I have of chapter 1
Something strange was going on, Katre felt a crushing heaviness in his chest almost like he was having a heart attack. Not only that but there was this unholy pain in his stomach and head and his vision was going odd on him. Almost like something had placed tubes in front of his eyes to see through, tubes that were causing his sight to go fuzzy and like he was looking through watered down milk. If it was not for the fact that he was not sweating or did not have any of the accompanying other symptoms of a cardiac event like numbness in his jaw or pain down his arm he would be reaching for the phone to dial the paramedics.
Sitting down rather on the fast side next to one of the store displays Katre put his head down between his legs and gulped heavily trying to keep awake, it did not help any that he had a pounding headache from that horrible noise that started a few minutes ago and was rising in intensity. He must be really out of it he thought as he heard sounds of battle coming from over by the store room. Knowing that no one else was in the store and the only way in or out of the storeroom was to walk past him, he mumbled “Great just what I need hallucinations too.”
Lifting his head to look towards the curtained doorway Katre was shocked to see a rip in the air showing a scene of another world, a world that flashed with lights and curses as the participants fell in battle. Captivated by the scene unfolding in front of him he almost forgot the pain wracking his body as he took raged breaths.
Groaning in pain and quickly swallowing several times to keep from being sick Katre almost missed it when a blood covered teen in wild black hair and intense green eyes raced past the rift waving what looked like a wooden pointer that shot intense colored light. A wand a little voice told him through the pain filled haze that was his brain as he watched once more as the youth fought for his life once again. Words that were being shouted on the other side of the rift became clearer as the image wavered into clarity.
Then when he thought he finally had control of the nausea and pain a new wave hit him as the youth was hit once more and was thrown back towards the rift. He hovered for a moment before he finally fell back through the rift and onto his side and bounced off the floor unconscious, the teen’s wand falling out of his hand rolling towards his feet stopping near his hand.
Groaning as a new spike of pain hit his head and his vision blurred, Katre barely made out the screaming of frustration on the other side of the rift as he tried to move closer to the barely breathing teen lying a couple of meters away, half in and out of the back room. Before he could get very far his hand brushed up against the polished handle of the wand causing him to instinctively grab hold as the pain increased beyond reason and images and information suddenly and painfully unlocked in his brain.
Muscles locked in strain as his body fought with itself as it rearranged bones and organs Katre tried to hold back before letting loose with screams of pure pain in between raged gulps of breath as history and knowledge long locked away in his DNA was imprinted in his mind as his body changed. After what felt like centuries of agony, the sounds of pure song intruded in his consciousness as he groaned and opened his tri-color eyes and looked around.
Noticing how clear and vibrant everything looked, sharper and more detailed than even after his eye surgery Katre rolled over onto his knees and unsteadily stood up. Quickly noticing that his clothes no longer fit and his close cropped hair now hung down to his knees Katre put aside the changes that had been painfully wrought in his body and stumbled his way over to the too still teen intent on getting some answers.
Reaching out to the edge of the rift Katre reached out and hesitantly touched a finger to the edge of the energy phenomenon and the knowledge of what it was and how to modify the dimensional portal came to the fore of his mind and he quickly using his mind ordered the rift to shrink to the size of a small coin and dragging it to an out of the way corner where no one would stumble upon it decided to alter the temporal properties so that time on the other side of the rift crawled almost to a halt, thus giving him time to figure out what by the gods of old was going on.
Quickly going back to the teen that looked to be in pretty rough shape on the floor, Katre knelt down and fell back on his medical training to exam the injured teen. Quickly ripping the teens filthy shirt into strips and applying them like bandages to the slowly oozing wounds on the teens arms and legs Katre took a deep breath as an unpleasant tingling hit his hands as he moved over certain areas on the young man’s body as the knowledge of the strange energy patterns he was able to feel made itself known.
Thinking to himself it was a good thing he was open minded Katre moved his hands and using the newly unlocked knowledge felt the strange energy trying to bond with the teen and slowly started to unravel it as he felt his way through the strange energy and the unfamiliar let alone unconventional healing methods. Picking up speed as he felt more comfortable manipulating the strange energy and with the strange knowledge quickly finished removing all traces of the foreign energy from the teen before sitting back and letting his eyes roam down the teens thin torso as he quickly did a mental triage of the injuries and needed treatments.
A groan and pain filled hiss came from the teen as he started to stir and attempt to wake, Quickly reaching over Katre gently placed his palm on the lads forehead and softly told him as he gathered the energy from his surrounding, “Sleep. A Deep healing sleep until I wake you.”
With the visible bleeding under control Katre stood up and made for the front doors to turn the open sign off and close and lock the doors, thank the old ones it was almost closing time and no one had come in during this strange unearthly event. If they did it would not be long before the government swept them both up and transferred them to some deep hidden lab to dissect them to find out the how’s and why’s.
Making his way to the bathroom and grabbing a roll of towels and a large cup to carry water in Katre grabbed the trash bin and the first aid kit and made his way back to the sleeping teen and started to clean the blood dirt and grime of his body. Cleaning the blood from around the teens face he noticed some minor lacerations along with several that would normally need sutured. Since they were not actively bleeding he continued washing away the drying blood and dirt checking the other lacerations along the teen’s chest and left arm. Noticing the dark wet patch coming from his right thigh Katre pulled the scissors from the kit and slit the teens pant leg and with an indrawn breath sat back on his hunches as he took in the long deep gash that separated several muscle groups thought out loud, “How in the name of all that has gone before am I going to fix this without a surgical suite?”
Feeling a tickle in the back of his mind as information opened up like a flower blossom Katre took in the information on how to manipulate the very cells of life and moved to one of the deeper gashes on the teens face and placed his fingers near it and felt for the energy that was part of every living thing. Closing his eyes as he concentrated, he finally let go and felt the energy of the skin cells and slowly sped up the processes just like the knowledge showed him. Directing the energy of the teen’s cells he opened his eyes to see his hand glowing as a web of veins grew in the open area of the laceration reconnecting the blood vessels and pulling the skin taught as it slowly filled in and closed.
Smiling in satisfaction at the slight pink area on the teens face Katre knew that there would not even be a scar as he moved down to the wound on the teens leg and once again placed his fingers near the wound and reached out with his mind to determine all that had been damaged. Frowning when his concentration was not able to get the detail like he had on the minor injury Katre moved his hands back and reached over for the iodine in the first aid kit and opening the bottle he poured some in his hands as he used the liquid to scrub his hands.
Placing his now somewhat sterile hands in the open wound Katre slowly moved some of the injured flesh aside and once more concentrated on his medical training and visualized how the muscle and veins should be as he pulled energy from the environment as he once again accelerated the division of the teens cells and directed how fast they reconnected and re-grew the destroyed tissue. Moving his fingers back as the tissue re-knit under his hands until the only thing left to heal was the skin.
Slightly tired and very hungry for some odd reason Katre once again took a look at the teen and deciding to cut off his pants and roll him over as he remembered the golden rule of emergency medicine, if you can’t see it you can’t treat it.
Seeing no more major injuries Katre stood up and walked over to the bathroom and started to wash the blood off his hands and forearms as he thought about all the new knowledge and the strange event that brought the lad to his shop. Not coming to any conclusion other than it would not be a good idea to carry a half naked young man out of his store to his car and his home he walked over to the back room and opened the side door to his office and pulled the cushion of the small couch to reveal the hidden bed and set it up and gathered the bed linen from the file cabinet and made the bed, looks like another night in the office, but first time that he would have company he thought.
Going back to the lad Katre bent the lad’s legs and braced them against his own before squatting down and grabbing the lads arms and carefully pulling him into a sitting position, reaching down he grabbed the lad under the arms and pulled him close as he stood up. Bracing the lads limp body against him for a minute he quickly bent down and forward which caused the lad to fall over his shoulder before standing back up and picking the lad up and walking into the office he gently set the teens down on the bed before lowing first his upper body into the bed then picking his legs up and arranging him on the couch and covering him up.
Arranging the cushions on the floor next to the hide a bed Katre went to the other couch in his office and laid down on it with one of the blankets covering him and closed his eyes and fell asleep as the history of his people unfolded in front of his eyes, a history that had been locked away and hidden for Milenia.
