I was quiet for a long time.

"So, you're saying to postpone my announcement until I am strong enough to take on this Poseidon you speak of?" I said after calming down. His words did set me off instantly, but I realised I was being way too childish and stupid. I wasn't acting like a level headed individual. Nor were my goals in the right order.

{Exactly. Listen to me. I don't think you having revenge and re-establishing your family name is a bad thing by any means. I think it's a nice idea, paying homage to your lineage and all. but you need to understand, that everything must be done in proper order.

I assume you and Drak have a pre-established plan that pertains to this announcement?} he asked.

I nodded, "we do, I was going to use the black family as a foundation to catapult my name into the minds of every wizard in England. Voldemort would want to recruit me which will spread my name amongst the dark wizards as well.

I won't go into more detail since it would take forever, but the end result is me using that fame and recognition and changing the black family into the pendragon family. By publicly announcing it. That is why next year is so important. And before you ask, don't, me and Drak have ways of knowing things. I will tell you when the time is right." I explained the current circumstances of the black family and why I chose it.

There was a small bout of silence before Achlys's voice was once again heard.

{Ahhh, I see, so your using a famous family which doesn't have a current heir as a foundation. It will bring a lot of eyes to you which will facilitate your transition and further plans. I assume you want the attention. I can also deduce that this is why you chose that old goat Grindelwald. His silver tongue will prove to be quite useful once you have everyone listening.

Heck, it would even be great if they suspected you of being the next dark lord. That way everyone will tune in to any information relating to you. I assume this is all to increase your influence for when you remodel the ministry?} Achlys asked.

I was slightly surprised that he was able to deduce so much from so little.

I couldn't help but smile and nod, "in essence, that is the plan. Naturally, my image will have to be elevated in the eyes of the masses, but that is the least of my concerns.

This is all for the eventual revival of my family. As for this whole god situation, I now understand. I was going to announce the return of the pendragons once I killed Voldemort, but that would be during the fourth year. But if I'm to take your advice, then it's best that I hold off from killing him so early.

I could possibly stretch it to the fifth year at most. A whole year extra will give me enough time to train. By then, I estimate that, with your guidance, I should be strong enough to face Poseidon. What do you think?" I asked after much consideration.

I had no intention of dragging out this whole Voldemort thing. I would hunt the Horcrux's and kill him. But it seems I couldn't be so hasty. I need some buffer time to get stronger. With the speed at which I was improving, spending the third, fourth and fifth year training was more than enough to boost my strength to horrifying levels.

I guess I would have to put up with Voldemort's stupid antics for one more year than necessary. I would battle this 'god' during the following year and once that was hopefully over, I would finally announce the return of my family. It was a very vague mind map, but that was going to be the plan moving forward. naturally, nothing is ever set in stone and plans may change depending on the circumstances.

So, I never know what can come up.

{That is more than enough. Like I said, my words may seem rough, but I need you to understand. We can both get what we want, all we need to do is to push back your plans a bit and allow for some breathing room. I'm more than certain that by the end of the fifth year, you will be strong enough to challenge Poseidon.}

[I have no qualms with it. the plan always had room for changes. So, it doesn't come into conflict with it. We can most defiantly push back Voldemort's death by a year.]

"Good, I'm glad that is all out of the way. I still can't believe that there are gods in this world. What the fuck has it turned into. *sigh* anyway, nothing we can do but play by the rules. Now, can you tell me what you erased from their memories? I don't want to be saying or acting the wrong way." I said.

{Oh that, I just obliviated our conversation and replaced it with a cool fight with lots of explosions. Very suspenseful I must say. So, they'll probably ask you if you're ok since you did 'almost die' a couple of times. You know, for suspense haha. As for the people watching from beyond this arena aka Violet and Randal, I also replaced their memories with the same thing.} Achlys said casually.

But his words made me sweat instantly.

What a monster, to be able to do whatever he wanted whenever he wanted. Their power was still something way beyond my realm of thought. Would I really be able to reach that level in three short years?

[Relax, you have us to guide you the whole way. it's foolproof.] Drak assured.

{exactly, it's impossible to fail even for stupid people like you.} Achlys mocked as usual.
