Jarius frowned as he watched the male pacing back and forth across the floor, looking both frustrated and upset. "How long has he been doing this?" he asked the human male.
"All day nearly" the male, named Jubal, answered with a sigh "the girls have given up trying to get his attention. Hari tried at lunch time to get him to eat, but he didn't seem to hear her. The only time he stopped was when she told him she was tired and he immediately bathed her and put her to bed, THEN he went back to this. He himself hasn't eaten all day. Are you sure something isn't...wrong with him?"
Knowing the male meant if the other could be infected or controlled by a vampire he shook his head "he can not be controlled by the vampires parasites or mind, however THIS close to the full moon, he is perhaps still feeling the effects of his wolf combined with the information we learned last rising unsettling him." The young male looked at him sharply "WHAT information?"
"It seems that not only is my mate the heir to four important lines in their world in Britain, but the last ancestor to inherit something called a Deathly Hollow. A cloak apparently and it has something to do with death, three brothers, a wand and a..."
"A stone?" the young man looked at him strangely. He froze, looking at the human "what do you know of it?"
"I don't know about any 'Deathly Hollows', but the story is familiar, wait" he moved away and returned with a book "I was reading to the girls today, Hari wanted to hear it. It was what I meant."
He looked at the cover, a plain book with the title "The Beedle And The Bard".
"Thank you, you can meet your sister and her lifemate just at the edge of the clearing. I will take care of the male."
The younger male nodded and left. As soon as he sensed the male was safe with her sister and her lifemate he readjusted and reinforced the safeguards and turned back to the only other male in the house. Knowing he may need the knowledge he opened the book and started to read.
It told the tale of three brothers, journeying through a set of woods they came to a river. In the story Death waited there, eager to take the souls of those foolish enough to try and cross the deceptive depths. However the three being Wizards, they merely used magic to create their own bridge and cross safely.
Now while Jarius might be inclined to think that the Death in THIS story was just symbolism, he KNEW there was something more to this than what he-or the Carpathians-knew of the other side. It COULD be a demon of some sort and the story would imply which one, or there could be some sort of entity out there they didn't know of that only the Wizards and Witches had the ability to see, likened to Death because of the belief of those mortal-born entering their society and influencing it. It was ALSO quiet possible those humans claiming to have seen angels, demons and Death were Squibs. Now that he thought about it, those Veela's he saw COULD be also likened to reported angels.
According to the story Death was angry he was 'cheated' of the three brothers souls. So he confronted then halfway down the bridge and congratulated them on their smarts, pretending to be impressed by their smarts and telling them he will grant each an reward. Jarius frowned, he was angry, yet he rewarded them?
The first brother was arrogant and wanted an unbeatable dueling wand. So Death used a branch from an elder tree and created something called The Elder Wand.
The second brother was lonely and lovelorn and wanted the ability to resurrect the dead, so taking an stone from the shore, Death created and gave him the Resurrection Stone.
The third brother didn't trust death and asked for a way to stop Death from following him, to hide himself from even him, so Death reluctantly cut a segment from his own robes and gave it to him.
Afterwards the brothers left and went their own way.
Jarius wondered what happened to the two older brothers, he knew from last rising the youngest had given his cloak to his son then down to his granddaughter and into the family line of his lifemate, but the items the others had sounded dangerous. Able to resurrect the dead? A wand able to beat any other in a fight? He read on.
The older brother immediately went to 'settle the score' with another he had previously lost to and in his elation he began to brag about his 'unbeatable wand'. That very night as he slept he was murdered in his sleep and the wand was taken. Jarius frowned, it seemed that 'Death' got his soul, after all. If the boy wasn't so arrogant and boasted, he probably would have lived longer. However putting such a powerful object in the hands of a teenager was asking for it, anyway, the being knew what it was doing.
The second brother went home and used the stone to resurrect the soul of the girl he had loved, a young woman who had been killed before he had had a chance to marry her. However her time had past and her soul was no longer meant for the world, she was but a mere shell of the woman he once loved. Finally he could no longer stand the pain and killed himself so he could join his love on the other side.
Again 'Death' get's another soul he was meant to have.
The third brother however, was different. For a long time Death searched for the boy, but the cloak kept him hidden from him. For the entire extent of the boy's life (if what Jarius knew was a couple of hundred years, UNLESS in those days it was different) he was hidden, until one day. That day, his last day in his old age the once youngest son passed the cloak to his son and 'welcomed death with open arms'.
He accepted his death of age. Jarius remembered the werewolf saying that the youngest had been that 'death would only accepted the one who earned the right. The last brother didn't use HIS item for personal gain or popularity or power, all he wanted was to be able to live his life and see his child born and grow.' So the two eldest died because they used it for personal gain, but since the youngest only used it for selfless reasons-although SOME might not see it that way-Death MAY have taken his soul, but by accepting his fate in the end the youngest was allowed pass the item to his son without their being cursed with death. And the werewolf had called them The Deathly Hollows, a cloak, a wand and a stone, he wondered where the other two items were right now.
Feeling more prepared he headed for the pacing figure he spoke, voice low but commanding "you will stop this now."
Immediately he froze and looked at him. There was something in his eyes...Jarius moved towards him, voice low, soothing and hypnotic "you need to relax, your pacing and getting upset is doing nothing but upsetting and you neglecting your niece. You were ignoring her nearly the entire day."
Again that look in the eyes.
He frowned "what has you upset?"
Slowly the males hand rose, one finger pointed to something at the kitchen table across the room.
Frowning he moved towards it, to find an opened bundle sitting in a nondescript brown paper. Now he was standing over it he saw the top of the paper held the seal for the bank they had been to the night before. An folded cloth lay visible through the paper, shimmering slightly in the plain parchment. Except for the slight shimmer it seemed not anything special, but he could FEEL the power in it without even touching it. However he had felt nothing like it before in terms of artifacts or mortals items, it felt like nature and earth and while many wouldn't see much difference between the two, as a Carpathian HE did. This cloth felt like something from nature, the cycle of life and death and rebirth, while it ALSO felt like a part of the earth, the Carpathians themselves and all of that around them.
Slowly he reached out grasped the cloth, raising and unfolding it from it's resting place.
It unraveled with a slight shimmer to find where was covered by the cloth he could not see his own body. As a Carpathian his senses were incredibly acute and accurate, they WERE creatures of the dark and could see in the dark and night as if and even better then the daylight, as well as had the enhanced senses of their animal brothers and sisters. So to immediately NOT see or even sense his own body under the cloth...
But that wasn't all, under the cloth he found three parchments and a sealed envelope with his name on it.
After a brief glance over the contents of the envelope to find forms to do with the management of his lifemates inherited properties, her vaults from ALL inherits which he decided to look over with the other males help later and the separate forms for the Prince with information on how all Carpathians could open their own vaults and change money, even those who worked with gems and crystals could make coin selling in their society, he moved to the two opened parchments.
One was a letter from the bank, claiming due to the evidence against the wizard and the spellspotions possibly over an employee they brought to their attention, they weren't being charged for the 'consult and service' last night. This made him snort.
The second however was serious.
During one of their many talks of the past nights Jarius had come to a kind of understanding of how these Wizards and Witches worked. In many ways their power, their 'magic' was sentient, in fact the other male sometimes made reference to 'Mother Magic' just as they did to Mother Nature. He referred to 'accidental magic' where their magic as children could lash out, to protect them even and even though it may not be as intelligent as Mother Nature was, there was something...instinctual about it.
For instance, unbreakable vows.
This was magic when, when recited officially, meant any attempt to evade, break or circumvent would result in the Witch or Wizards own magic turning on them and killing them from the inside out, apparently VIOLENTLY.
Then there was Life-debts, like in this letter.
The letter was written by the eldest son of the family the male had told him about, the one working for the bank. He explained how the bank had called the family in early that morning due to 'concerns with unauthorized transactions' on their accounts. Once their they had trapped them in a room and made them go through multiple tests for spells and potions, then cleared each from their system. The eldest had only two old, the second eldest one old and fading (probably due to his being away from England for so long) and the two youngest were clear, however the the middle children had AT LEAST four loyalty, tracking and obedience potions and two spells EACH, while the parents were so filled with them it was only a matter of time before their health began to suffer serious damage.
The family was furious about this once they were cleared and while they were recovering had appointed the eldest as their spokesperson to them after being calmed and convinced by the goblins of the importance of keeping this a secret from the 'vile old man'.
The family were writing they had been informed by the goblins of the truth and, with their help, were vowing a Life-debt to both House Potter, and therefore by default Griffon, and Lupin. No wonder the male was upset, the entire family vowing a Life-debt to the three of them meant that the poor Pureblood now belonged to them, they could do ANYTHING with the family they wished.
Added to the bottom was information, the latest on what the society they came from knew of the events of the night his lifemate's family were killed. This was obviously added since the two adults KNEW how close the wolf was to the events and wanted to know about his last pack member.
Apparently in Britain the other male-the Black heir-was NOW not only seen as the one who betrayed them, but as some big-time traitor. The stories going around was not only was he a 'Deatheater' but he had been the evil ones' very Right Hand Man.
No wonder the wolf was so agitated not even the presence or words of his pup could distract him.
They were saying that after betraying his pack he had hunted down the TRUE traitor-seen now as a helpless friend-and in the middle of a busy human street attacked, killing both the 'helpless' friend as well as 12 'Muggles', leaving only a finger of the other behind as so called proof of his death. When the Auror-the Magical's equal to Muggle policeman-had arrested him, he apparently was laughing hysterically.
Everything that the wolf had told him lead him to believe it was NOT laughter at what they thought. He had pieced together a working theory on how the other males mind worked, and it was akin to that of their own. The wolf had said that the form they took as animagus were essentially they spirit animal, just as the spell he had demonstrated to them. THEY didn't choose the shape, it was a reflection of their soul. He had, in their previous talks, told him more about the young head-strong but dedicated man, how he needed to protect his loved ones, his selfless nature, great sense of loyalty, his need to be part of something bigger than himself, his territorial protectiveness over the places and people he cared for, his "bark-like laugh" and how once when his lifemate's father pointed out the other 'uncle' during their bullying stage he sat "perfectly still like a dog smelling a rabbit." But he also had an explosive temper, apparently something he shared with his mother, he was witty and talented, but also arrogant and a troublemaker. He was more of a bully than the third member, sometimes unjustifiably so, AT LEAST until the others were able to rein him in, but the three together were three of the most brilliant students of their time (while the forth, the TRAITOR was always average, even dumb).
What made him concerned was his behavior the night of his lifemates parents murder. With his personality and the inclusion of his animal aspect he should NOT have run after the rat, even WITH his mothers temper. Even if he trusted the one he gave the toddler to, even WITH the addition of the loyalty potions andor spells, everything in him SHOULD have screamed at him to stay and protect his pack member, more so since she was a helpless pup. The only one able to approach them at that stage was another pack member, meaning they would have had to get the wolf himself, if he didn't at this point see the Dark Elf as one.
But he had not only given his vulnerable pack member to someone OUTSIDE the pack but left her. This was NOT normal behavior.
"It is possible it WAS against his nature and planned" the Healer said in his head "If the human knew about her ancestry before the events that killed her parents, he would know that as her godfather, custody of her would go straight to him on the parents death. If the human knew about his animal aspect, he would know that while under the godfather's care he would have NO CONTROL over her, and this he would not like. In order to gain control of your mate, he would have to put him out of the picture."
"So he used some kind of spell to increase his fury with the traitor, causing him to ignore all other instinct in favor of hunting down the rat. It is possible the hysterical laughter stated by the family upon his arrest was the result of the spell wearing off and his realization of what had happened and what it meant."
"Exactly. That device the goblin gave you the night before for the Prince has allowed us to commune with them about the possible accounts and identities and such for our people to function in the magical world. It turns out when we started building identities and homes in the mortal world the goblins knew it would be a matter of time before we joined the magic, so had already started establishing identities for our more important Carpathians, the Prince and myself included. Of course they want monetary compensation, which we will give them. However the Prince has informed them that since YOU have already have a lifemate among their society and with the time limit we have before her location is discovered we need all the advantages we can get as fast as we can. The goblins have decided since the British value blood lines, you can go in for an ancestry test they can use and give you the identity of one of a Pureblood. THIS will not only give you advantages there to protect your lifemate legally but will give you the opportunity of those of...lesser value seeking to please you."
He understood what the Healer was saying. As a rich Pureblood in his lifemates birthplace there will be those willing to bend the rules to please him, if only for 'favors' as well as those who obviously see those of Pureblood as above even the law in their society. THIS would allow him to protect his lifemate better. And the fact his lifemate was the heir to not only her father's line, but the four 'Founders' houses AS WELL AS the Peverells, and in a not so-surprising move, while the only surviving male heir to the Black line couldn't claim the Lordship to his family himself because of his rejection from the family, he COULD appoint one, and he had appointed his goddaughter as heir to the Black line. Also, it had turned out, the Blacks were ALSO related to the Weaselys, meaning his lifemate was related in a way to this family willing to vow a life-debt to them.
So his lifemate was a direct heir to five lines vaults, properties and all that entailed and an appointed heir to one.
Making his lifemate perhaps the richest and most influential person in their society, not to mention all that potential items and books in all five, including dark artifacts, light artifacts, spell andor potion books which had perhaps never been seen by the eyes of anyone other than their original ownerscreators, historical items, money, properties ,powerful magical items, the list was endless.
It was no wonder the human wished his lifemate under his control, not that that knowledge was going to excuse him even an ounce when Jarius exacted justice for the crimes the male had committed against his mate and those around her that SHOULD have been there for her, if not for that criminal. All those he had taken their free will away in his pursuit of power and influence...he HAD to be stopped.
He wanted his lifemate to experience all that she was, that she had inherited, not just from her parents, but now that he knew what she had possibly inherited through other figures in her lines, she deserved the knowledge and experience of all that she could be and came from. He could wait until she was of age.
"And THAT is unusual" the Healer said "all of the other ancients who have returned and found their lifemates have been driven to immediately complete the bond. Now while I admit only one other has been a child at the time and her mate was forced to save her, the fact you seem to be having no problems at all waiting is...disconcerting, even worrying. When did this start?"
He hesitated, thinking back over the last few days since the first time he heard his lifemate's cry. "When I first heard her cry I admit I was overwhelmed, I wanted to go to her, take her away and immediately bond her to me before anyone else could interfere or stop me, but when I recognized the fact it was a CHILD'S cry, not a woman's, I felt alarmed and that desire changed. She was still mine, my lifemate and all it entailed, but her happiness and protection was more important than tying her to me. But I think it truly changed the first time she touched me."
"What do you mean?"
"After I took them to the cabin" He sent him the memory of that time-The man's head rolled back to look towards him, but the minute he saw him he moved, shooting up straight, seizing the girl and pushing her behind him, one arm and hand raising threateningly while those chocolate eyes flashed amber again and he growled out "WHO ARE YOU?!"
The child giggled as she pushed out from behind the male easily and approached him, to his shock and surprise sitting directly in his lap with such trust and joy. She looked at the other man, stunned from his anger and threat by her simple actions and laid one hand gently on his wrist as if to sooth or stop him and that simple action soothed him in a way he had never experienced before. Well, that and her next words "he's my mate of course Uncle Remi!"
Both males could only look at her in shock, the Uncle's mouth opening and closing without sound. To further shock them the child leaned up and gave him a peck on the cheek before moving off to curl up with the other.
"That was the moment I remember relaxing fully. It is like just those two movements connected us in such a way I no longer am driven to claim her immediately. I think it was the skin to skin contact somehow reacted like a blood exchange, or rather it connected our blood bond through her inherited. Carpathian blood is strong, it allowed each generation to find their lifemates, so it is possible that once she was united with me, the blood reacted once sensing me."
"So, in a way, you have had a blood exchange without the actual act. Have you tasted her blood yet?"
"Twice, although NOT by much. The first time when I healed her, closing her wounds left by the vampire. The second was just the drop from the Inheritance test."
The Healer hesitated then spoke "I need to think on this, perhaps converse with the others. You should calm the wolf down before he gets too agitated and changes, we are just lucky he had enough control not to do so while the human was here. Perhaps find out what is upsetting him exactly and discuss a possible solution."
He agreed and waited before the Healer was gone before he moved.
***************************************************************

This chapter is a little short for me but the next chapter is important to the story line.
I had a funny thought with the writing of this one when mentioning the Weasely's. It was just in passing but struck me as amusing. What if the Daratrazanoff Twins were lifemates of the Weasely Twins? It would be like Josef in his goth or rapper faze being a lifemate to one. Can you imagine Gregori's reaction? *Giggle*

Sorry guys I had to remove the poll I had here originally, Apparently AFF didn't like it here because it was "asking your readers for opinions as well as offering them choices to make."?????? Really? That's bad or something, getting your readers thinking for themselves???? Oooookkkk. They told me if I wanted to put up the poll I had to do it by "a topic through the forums", which I have NO IDEA how to do. So sorry guys.
