Calming Down

Kai was currently standing inside the underground cavern that was Harry's training field, the one that he had built to train Harry when he was still volatile. He knew that he would see him in a few days but that didn't stop his heartache from nestling in his core being and plague his thoughts constantly.

The training field was a large empty cave under his small house, the house that was inside the Court's main HQ (the large city). It too was underground, he hadn't measured the depth, but he was sure that it was at least 50 metres underground.

He could still see phantom images of Harry running over the field, slowly learning to control his speed. The many small craters that he had created when he couldn't control his strength. They were happy memories and Kai deeply cherished them now, it was a tragedy that he learnt how important Harry was when he lost him.

There was one such crater in the wall where Harry had gotten so angry with his lack of progress in the control of his superior physical strength that he had punched a deep hole in the wall that reached until his elbow.

When that happened Kai helped his ease off his anger and played a game with him. They spent hours carving boulders (punching them to oblivion and then telling themselves that they were art) to ease off the feelings of anger and they were still in his house upstairs in a room dedicated to such "art".

There was also a relatively straight line that Harry had drawn in the cavern's ground, it served as a finish line. On that day Harry and he had decided to do a race of a hundred laps around the large cave and the winner got to decide what the loser would do.

Harry won (Kai let him) and the boy told him that he wanted his fatherly figure to spend some time just having fun with Kai and wouldn't have to do any training for the rest of the day.

Of course, Kai agreed and they spent the day having fun and enjoying themselves. On that day Kai stopped looking at Harry like he was some toy or an NPC, instead he looked at him like he was actually real, a real person.

As Kai continued to stare at the many marks that caused memories of his most cherished son to appear, at some point a hand touched his shoulder.

He ruined his head around and saw Bob in his humanoid form with his clawed hand on his (Kai) shoulder. "What?" Kai asked bluntly, annoyed at his friend at interrupting his recollections.

"You haven't gotten up from here in seven days Kai, you soon have to go to Hogwarts, the school term starts soon."

"Yeah, yeah alright I'll be up soon." Kai still hadn't registered his familiar's words.

"Kai you don't understand, tomorrow the Hogwarts express sets off and you wanted to board it to meet Harry. Are you really going to let your recollections get in the way of meeting him?"

Kai's entire body shuddered as if receiving a violent shock, he stared at Bob with a piercing glare. "Alright you've made your point, let's get ready."

He left Bob no time to say anything else as he walked up to the hole in the ceiling and jumped up. They had no need for ladders and the sort as they were powerful enough to land without injury or jump out the hole in the floor.

Afterwards, he went into the bedroom that was only for when they were being lazy and moved the bedside cabinet that was next to the king-sized bed. Behind it was a small hole, Kai channelled a small amount of blood energy and waited for the protective wards to give him entry. Once they were deactivated his hand entered the hole and he grasped at the single object in the hidden space- a string.

On the rough string was a small red stone cloud, it was given to Kai by Harry after he had enough self-control to not break anything with a single touch. He made this necklace for Kai so that he would realise that he could create delicate works with losing control or breaking things accidentally.

Harry created the necklace when he was only two, he had rushed up to his mentor and gave him the necklace with lots of pride and happiness in his voice something that was rare as he had shown his vampire enhanced genius. The necklace was crude and unrefined, but Kai cherished his Son's first gift to him.

He was told by his son that the cloud was a representation of the vampire lord's own blood energy. Kai infused his blood energy and it made the stone carving on the necklace glow a gentle crimson light. It had caused the boy's face to light up in excitement and happiness.

After Harry left, he had infused many protective spells and wards into the necklace to make sure that it would never break or be damaged. Additionally, he had made a small memory seal on it, it would make sure that he could see the memory of that day without a pensive.

Now it was helpful for Kai as he couldn't use normal magic and therefore not use the pensive for his memory viewing. The problem was that with every usage of the spell the necklace would be more and more damaged and eventually crumble. This flaw was discovered after he had inscribed the magic into the necklace, it made him cherish it more and fear using it.

That was the reason he disliked taking it with him, for if the memory was played another 2 more times then it would disintegrate, and his precious memory of that day would be lost.

This was the reason that he disliked taking the necklace, if by accident he channelled his energy into the necklace then it would play the memory and worse if it was in the middle of a battle then he would have to either let the enemy attack him without doing anything to gaze at his precious memory.

Or worse, not pay attention to the memory and eliminate the soul and body of the attacker for causing him to waste such a precious opportunity.

Why was he so familiar with this subject you ask? It was simply because it had happened to him already. When he was fighting a dementor in an effort to strengthen his soul by basking in its negative aura he had by mistake activated his necklace when he had channelled his energy through his body to fight off the effects of the creature's presence.

Afterwards, he had used his entire being to kill the dementor- a soul being, the only reason he had accomplished this feat was that it was vastly weaker than him. Afterwards, he had vowed to never let it happen again, so he put it behind layers of protective barriers and wards.

The only reason that he took it out now was in case he had to convince Harry that he was his father and the boy asked for proof. He put it around his neck and sat in a lotus position. It didn't do much to actually help with meditation, but Kai had gotten used to the habit and continued it.

He did this to get his emotions in order and entered his meditation. He had told Bob through their link to bring him back 1 hour before the Hogwarts express set off.

As he entered a deep level of focus, he found himself inside a small torch-lit cave. It had some unique objects on short pillars surrounding the circular chamber.

Starting from the left there was a pair of obsidian eyes with a sun carved in each of them. This was the representation of Kai's runic eyes. The chamber itself was Kai's own soul, it contained his memories and true identity.

This was the reason that he didn't lose his memories when the berserk ability wiped his conscious during its takeover, his soul had essentially acted as a backup and saved everything.

It took a long time to "re-upload" everything back and that was the reason for his 10-year coma. Inside his soul was the very innate abilities that he had absorbed. There was a serpent opening its mouth this was the Parsel mouth ability that he had taken from Voldemort all those years ago. There was a pure mist circling the cave it felt pure and familiar, Kai had discovered that it was his soul aura.

Next was a statue of his previous body, it was all of his old identity and memories, without it he would lose his identity. On the right of the statue was a pair of wings, this represented his ability to use the vampire abilities of this world. After that was a mask of a devil, Kai was unaware of its meaning but it was, in fact, his face when he used his [Devilification] ability.

Finally, was an orb of white and black mist, this was the power that Kai had absorbed from Dahak. It was the laws of light and darkness, together they created the law of equality.

He had discovered this place when he had returned from the destruction of the island. Bob had forced him to meditate to calm down and he did so, he had discovered this place when he did so. He assumed that he had opened this place when he utilised the Devilification ability, he assumed that this was one of the requirements that allowed him to become a Demigod the stage that Dahak wished to return to.

The power to be a mortal god. The most powerful being on the planet and even the solar system.
