Getting involved

400 to 600 CE

(Klaus POV)

As I was observing the world map in my castle's study I think back on last few hundred years.

Probably the biggest surprise was creation of vampire countie. While they managed to keep it a sicret from normals, most supernatural communities found about it quite fast.

While they don't seem to be interested in conquering the world they still need to be carefully observed. Lily and I are still trying to work out how someone managed to change that disease to what we have now.

Oh we figured out it was some kind of ritual with some alchemical work mixed in but it is still strange. They would have to secrefice something, and we figured out that it was the weaknesses they suddenly gained, but that is just it mindless beasts can't just secrefice something, they weren't rational enough to understand what secrefice means.

Witch would mean that there was at least one that didn't go crazy before the ritual, but how? Well whatever, there are more important things going on than vampires right now.

Like emergence of Christianity. Through this last years emergence of Christianity is starting to create problems for mages, thanks to creation of wands magic is nowadays being thought in families by parents to children.

Thanks to that numbers of educated mages has skyrocketed, witch also increased magical knowledge and its protection. But with high numbers of mages and their better life conditions their non mage neighbours are starting to resent them for it, and Christianity is giving them justification for it.

"What are you up to love?" Lily asks as she entered my study.

"I am starting to feel the pull to do something." I say as I turn towards her.

She humms at that "Again, you were probably right about that feeling, it is probably a buy product of timeline being rigid."

We have had this filing few times, and it usually ended with us being involved in some of the human conflicts, or discoveries. It will probably last until time when Lily was sent back, and I would bet that it will become more common in the coming years.

"So what are you going to do?" Lily asked.

"I think I will try to do something about the conflict that is brewing between mages and normals in Europe."

"Then I recommend you start in Britain, and I will go to France."

I nod at that "You are right, those two are most organised, even if it is just different mage families ruling different parts of the land."

If we menage to get them to work together and make sure that they set some rules and enforce them, it will make relationships between mages and normals lots better.

Right now there are a lot of mages terrorise normals just because they can, and this is helping church by enforcing their magic is evil dogma.

.....

After few years I was ready to move to Britain. I had a house created a day horse ride from London.

I have spent last few years researching who was who in British Isles. I have found out that most powerful mage families at this time are: Peverell, Black, Potter, Longbottom, Greengrass, Bones and Monroe in that order.

Peverell are most powerful ones among families, but they are also most isolated from the rest.

Potters and Longbottom both are more warriors then mage, both families use swords alongside their wands and serve as Kings knights. Witch is kinda funny, when you realise that best knights in the land are squibs and this mages serve under them, yet in future they will be seen as something to be ashamed of.

Greengrasses are best potion makers in the Isles, and they do business with anyone who needs them. Monroes are clan of gnomes, and while they are incredible scholars they are slowly going into hiding.

Last we have Blacks and Bones, this families will probably be most useful to me. They protect magicals, but also hunt down those that meddle in human secrefice and other magic that could only be described as evil.

While what they do is good it is only in their territories, they need to start working together, and this is where I come into play.

.....

I was walking through the forest, searching for wood that can be used for magical crafting when I felt something with a simple mind coming towards me. Then I heard a roar, but as I was about to use my telepathy to make the troll go away I felt someone else running towards it.

Curiously I turned towards it and watched young man who started flinging spells at the troll. After few seconds what looked like a cutting curse with dark element added to it hit the troll and cut its hand off. Troll screamed and started running away.

After troll run away the wizard turned towards me and asked "My lady, are you well, I hope the troll didn't scare you."

I rise an eyebrow at that. It is quite rare for me to be seen in my female by anyone outside Avalon. Even after I named it long ago, I actually never got to introduce my self in this forum, this feels like beginning of an fun prank.

Ignoring that I tap the ground with my cane and repair damage troll has created with its charge.

"Well thank you for help, and yes I am fine." I say.

"I am glad to hear that my lady. I am Orion Black, who might you be."

Orion Black is a tall man with black hair and silvery blue eyes. He is waring what looks like black cloak with black armor underneath. They really take this black thing seriously.

"My name is Morgana. I am curious what brings one of the Blacks this far in the woods."

AN: OK I don't know did this chapter turn out good or bad, but I do have a plan for whole Arthurian legend thing. Both Klaus and Lily will have a role to play in it and in slow building of magical world.
