Chap 25

Once more when he slept, the dreams started to appear again but this time a little different. The same lady with white robes and the red cross with two wands behind it stood in the middle of the ruins. This time the white robe was covered in red and around her in the middle of the ruins pile of corpses could be seen most of them dressed in white covered in red robes too. The other corpses around her were dressed in long black tunics some of them had turbans. He could see that some of the corpses had a crescent moon with two wands crossed behind it and star above the intersection of the wands. Drake seeing through the point of view of the lady started to observe all around him, he then noticed that behind him laid a humongous corps of a beast. Drake never saw something like that, the beast could be described as a leviathan devil coming from the abyss of hell.

The lady then started to walk in the corpse direction, he could see several fires raging around the ruined city and smell the stench of death and burned meat. Drake wanted to wake up from the nightmare but deep inside his conscient, he wanted to see what would happen where the lady was going. After a few more moments of walking, he could see a person standing near the corpse. He was dressed in the same way as the other dead bodies, but the symbol of his tunic was pure gold in contrast to the white symbols of the dead wizards.

"Saalam Aleikum!" said the men dressed in black.

"Hey Saladin, finally we won the war" answered the lady in white. It was the first time he saw the lady talking outside of his training dreams.

"Yes…we won…but our losses are uncountable…principally to your family and your order," said the man in downcast tone.

"Well, we knew the price…but what I pity the most is that this is the beginning of the end for us…it was probably the last time that our two order would work together. After all these years of living in harmony with each other..." said the women in a sad tone.

"So, it's true then…what a disgrace to the wizarding world" replied the man with an angry tone.

"Yes, we lost 99% of our forces and they must have used only around 10%, we can't recover from this lost and order will be taken by them. The Grand Master already sent the last orders and we and the rest of the survivors must abandon the Holy City."

"I see but the other side won't leave, right?! After all, this is the Holy city but don't worry if they started to get too ambitious, corrupt and greedy we will be here to take care of them" replied the man.

"Yeah, you are right, but you must underestimate them, after all, we couldn't get rid of them and they grew like a tumor inside of my order. They are cunning and vicious; you should start preparing against them."

"Sure, we will do that but why are we talking about this now?! We just won one of the bloodiest wars against evil beings. This will give an edge to the wizards" replied Saladin.

"Well, you are right, but my instinct tells me that these things will be the least of our problems, but you are right. Also, you can tell your superiors that we will take the Holy Artefacts with us and we made identical objects which can only be discovered if the user tries to use them. We already moved the objects after using them. They probably won't notice until the cooldown time is off and by then the objects are already in an uncertain place" said the women.

"That's even better Hehehehehe! I would want to see their faces when they attempt to use them" said the man laughing

"With all this said and done we should return to our camp…it's time to say our goodbye Saladin, The Hunter, it was a great honor to fight by your side" said the lady with a light smile.

Saladin seeing the smile on her face got lost for a few seconds since this was the first time he saw the lady laughing and that would be the perfect vision if it wasn't for the fires, the smells and the dead bodies of their brothers and sisters and the carcass of the beast. Sadly, Drake couldn't see the smile since he was hearing and seeing from her point of view.

After a few more moments Saladin woke up from his stupor and said:

"Well, it was also my honor to fight by your side Lady Guinevere, The Red fairy and I hope that we would meet again" answered Saladin.

With these last words, Drake woke up from his nightmare, he was sweating and pale. He got up from his bed and went to check outside. It was still dark, and the only light was from the moon which was in full view. He started to think about why this dream appeared now and the only explanation was the fact that his magic power was rising and the new knowledge he gained by studying the ancient runes more thoroughly also helped. He looked down to his chest and saw the pendant, he was lost in thought for a few seconds until he went to bed again. The dreams he was having were all different but it seemed that they were all connected by the same women that he thought it was his biological mother. That would be impossible since it seems they were from different ages.

In the next morning, Drake woke up a little bit sleepy and with big black circles and anyone could notice that he had a bad night of sleep. He did his normal morning routine except for the fact that he couldn't bring his beasts outside of the suitcase and so he lost a little more time playing with them. He met up with Katie and went to the charm class where he and Katie got a few more points for Gryffindor. Katie with the help of Drake has been getting better and better in casting spells, she could probably enter in top 5 first years. Cho also got a few points to her house in the charm class although she didn't ask for help from Drake, she would always listen to his explanations.

The next was potion class, which went as usual with Gryffindor losing points and the Slytherin students winning points with Scarlett in the lead. She was Snape favorite student even though she would hang up with Drake. Although Drake didn't do anything to Snape, several Slytherin students had few accidents while making the potions. Snape knew it was Drake doing but he couldn't find any proof of it. Only Scarlett talked to him from that house. After finishing one more morning of classes Drake together with Katie and Scarlett went to the Great Hall to get lunch.

As they were seated in one of the big tables eating several owls started to appear inclusively an owl that brought several letters and package to Drake.

"Hey! Look Drake received a few letters," said Katie to the group.

"Someone is receiving earlier gifts" commented Scarlett too.

"Yeah, c'mon Drake opens the package to see what is inside," said Cho.

"Well, I probably know what it is. It's from my uncle so it's a book about the things I'm studying now" replied Drake to them.

All three people looked at each other understanding the meaning behind Drake words so they didn't talk anymore about it, at least no in the presence of several curious eyes.

"The letters are also about the same business" continued Drake. The letters were from the house-elves Alfred and Wendy, from his uncle Newt and the final letter from his uncle Nicolas Flamel. He took out his hat and in a very discrete way after letting passing a few minutes, he very discretely put the things in his hat, and they disappeared from it. Almost no one noticed, except for the three girls and few students who weren't paying so much attention but notice the things disappearing.

They talked a little more and finished eating and went to their respective afternoon classes.

"After classes, if you want to meet, I'll be going to Hagrid's hut for a few moments to talk with him so, we could meet there" suggested Drake while they were leaving the Great Hall.

"For me is good!" replied Katie followed by Scarlett and Cho.

"Okey! We shall meet there and if I see the twin, I will tell the same thing. Now before I go to the classes, I'll have to go to talk with Professor McGonagall about something" said Drake to them.

"Okay, then we will get going but don't be late for class" answered Katie.

Scarlett and Cho also nodded their heads and went to their class.
