《A Mutant’s Ascension》A Mutant's Ascension

[POV Reo(Edgar)]
The rest of the week passed quite normally except some articles and speculations about me. For Rita's own sake she didn't write anything about me… I think that Amelia stopped her though. Well, I wouldn't care if she wrote some tripe about me after all that would lead people to underestimate me more and more. People are already underestimating me heavily which is a good thing I would say…
After all, I wasn't going to fight as Magneto but as Edgar Ravenclaw, I can't Magneto's powers openly or it would be a dead giveaway about that. The fight is going to be public and from what I have learnt the fight would be broadcasted on Wizarding Wireless Network. Yes, I know that that is a radio channel or station but Ol Twinkles and several others are going to be present there and honestly, I don't want anyone connecting the dots… ever!
Throughout the week I kept practicing duels along with Dora, Momo, Rumi, and Nemuri. I tried to take all four of them together using only my magical capabilities, I was successful. Even with all the raw magical power Nemuri has, I was able to defeat the four of them together but it was one of the most challenging and close call I ever had. Yes, its true that none of us had used ant kind of lethal spells but it was still challenging.
The rest of the time I kept practicing the string of lethal and dark spells along with light spells. Fiendfyre was, is, and will be my all-time favourite spell. The spell can even burn through other curses and wards, shields, practically Fiendfyre engulfs all and everything in its path. Fiendfyre and even burn through another Fiendfyre casted by someone else. But only me, and Nemuri have enough power to control it. Dora had some power but she needs a lot more training before she can use the cursed fire.
From my personal research… I have found out that Fiendfyre can only be used by two kind of people. First, people who are utterly incompetent and complete idiot and fool to the core. Second, people like me, and Nemuri who actually had enough magical power to cast it, control it, and mould it to our requirement. I am pretty sure that Ol Twinkles can cast it if he wants but he would never do it… Ol Noseless can cast it and control it, and if late Icklle Bella was sane then she could too.
I have dragged Dora to train along with me and taught her some obscure and deadly curses for her self-defence. Dora was reluctant to learn at first because she didn't want to get caught using dark magic and being branded as a Dark Lady. But she relented after I told her that if no body recognises the curse then it can't be a dark curse and I wasn't asking her to use them, I was teaching them to her for emergency. I was finally able to teach her organ liquefying curse, skin melting curse, bone banisher curse (a curse that banishes all the bones from a human body), organ expelling curse, blood poison curse, blood acidic curse, blood drainer curse and a lot more.

Luna finally returned from her trip in Croatia… she and her father had gone to Croatia to look for new and eccentric magical creatures, namely Crumple-Horned Snorkack. As, soon as Luna returned, she wrote me a letter that she enjoyed the trip but was really disappointed that she didn't found Crumple-Horned Snorkack. She also heard about my duel and was worried and wished me luck. I happily replied that she shouldn't lose hope in her ventures and I was going to be fine.
Finally, the letter from ICW arrived just before the day of the duel along with portkey. The duel was scheduled for 12 noon, we were instructed to arrive at the venue by 10 am because of potion check. The arena was chosen to be in Sweden. There was no bar for carrying a secondary wand or any other kind of weapon but potions were banned as per the ICW official rule. Yes, if our duel would have happened under the British Ministry then we, the participants had to decide beforehand if potions are allowed or not.
After the letter arrived I could easily tell that the girls were quite nervous and they really have a good reason to be worried, so I can't blame any of them. This was my first wizards' duel and there were no spell bans. The problem was it was a magical duel and I had to fight magically. The night passed… the five of us slept together but nothing naughty happened except some making out and cuddling. Next morning, it was Dora who had to leave the earliest as Amelia Bones or Bonesy as Dora liked to call has assigned her as her guard. Amelia was taking Shaklebolt and Dora as her escort.
The remaining four of us got ready… Thank god that I didn't have to wear some regal robes today and strut around like a peacock. Today I wore battle robes… the robes were really amazing, neither of my girls knew but I promised myself that I was going to wear battle robes if I had to wear any robes. At, exactly 10 am, the portkey activated and the four of us were whisked away and appeared inside a regal looking waiting room. The four of us landed with elegance unlike some certain person all four of us knew. We found a middle-aged woman and a man dressed in ICW robes were already waiting for us in the room.
"Welcome, Lady Ravenclaw, Mr. Ravenclaw, Miss Ravenclaw, and Miss Ravenclaw, the tests for potions would be starting soon. Mr. Ravenclaw, please follow me and Mr. Bole would lead you to the viewing box" the woman said. I nodded towards the girls. The girls followed the man named Bole while I followed the lady. I arrived in a tent, on my other side Lord Nott also entered the tent, he had his usual pureblood sneer on his face. There was a significant distance between us so that we can't attack or drug each other before the duel can start. Both me and Lord Nott were cleared for potions… they also tested for muggle drugs as they can at least boost your stamina and physical strength.

Because of the tests included for muggle drugs the tests took long… it took us one and a half and hour to complete the tests. Now, some would say that wizards would never consider using muggle drugs because they see muggles lower than themselves but it wasn't the case with ICW. They were the main association holding the Statue of Secrecy so they have kept close eyes on the mundane world especially after Grindelwald. So, they knew who far the muggles have come and how technologically advanced they were.
After the tests were done, both me and Lord Nott were led towards the arena. It was raised up platform surrounded by audience. The whole audience stand was covered with thick bulletproof glass so neither our spells could reach them or they could interfere. I was quite surprised that they were using this… curiously I asked an ICW agent and he said that it was because the Unforgivables were involved or they would have used wards…
Finally, the time of the anticipated duel arrived, I climbed up on the platform, from the other side Lord Nott climbed up with his usual pureblood sneer on his face. I turned my eyes away and looked at the crowd… I quickly found the girls as they were in the VIP box of some kind. While the Nott family was on the other VIP box. Ol Twinkles was sitting in the crowd along with some old geezers of his own age. I was brought out of my musing when Lord Nott spoke up in his disgusting voice.
"I thought you would run away brat" he said while the sneer on his face became more pronounced.
"Why would I do that? After all, I am getting a chance to kill someone legally" For the first I showed him a vicious smile. For a moment Lord Nott lost his sneer but it returned the next second and he scowled.
"Are you two ready?" the referee asked us with Sonorus.
Both me and Lord Nott looked in his direction and nodded our heads. "Then, Begin!!" the referee yelled.
Both me and Lord Nott were already ready with our wands and neither of us needed to be told twice. Lord Nott began his assault on me with a flame whip which I easily dodged. I returned fired with confringo and difindo. Lord Nott's eyes grew narrowed and had to duck down to dodge the curse as both of them were aimed on his neck. He didn't expect me to directly go for the kill.
Lord Nott saw that and immediately fired several curses on me in a string. All of these curses were lethal. I swatted away the last two curses with mine while dodging the others. Seeing me occupied Lord Nott fired off a killing curse which I easily moved out of the way of. There is another short-coming of Unforgivables, they can't be casted silently so you already know what's coming. In return, I sent several silently casted curses and this time his eyes grew wide and face became completely pale. I sent five curses and all five of them were dark… organ liquefying, blood boiling, organ expelling, entrails exploding and bone banisher. Lord Nott was able to dodge the five of them by a hair.
I didn't give him time and casted eye gouging curse which hit right him right on mark and his left eye-ball exploded. Lord Nott grabbed the left side of his face and screamed in pain and dropped on the floor. He still had his wand in his hand.
"Any last word?" I asked him in a mocking tone. He immediately raised his wand and only the first part of the killing curse came out of his mouth before he forgot the rest in fear.
"Avada" seeing him starting to cast the killing curse I also decided to used my favourite spell "Fiendfyre" I said and in fear Lord Nott forgot to even complete casting his spell. Before he could even blink his whole body was engulfed by a leviathan made of flames…

Midthalion Saga
+++Working on new chapters. Share what I've posted with your friends and family! Be sure to build strong bonds with those who are important to you. We only have each other in this world for so long!+++ Can Roderick XXIII gather together and train a party of adventurers to clear out Madeon Caves and bring peace to the wildmarches of Midthalion? Sent from his home monastery in the west to the wildmarches of Midthalion, Roderick the Holy Avenger is devoted to living out his oath to bring the Holy Light to the dark corners of the world. He enlists the help of an old friend, Ulrich Vogelbrandt the dwarf druid, to train and prepare a fighting force capable of defending the west from the evil they both see gathering and growing in the east. Eoroth is an ode to Tolkienesque epic fantasy, Robert E Howard and H.P. Lovecraft's pulp fiction, and Gygaxian Dungeons & Dragons. I like to write about serious topics because I think it's fun. I hope it makes for a fun read. Place: Eoroth, a vast, flat world with many continents set in oceans that reach out and mingle with the Celestial Sea. Our story takes place on the continent of Thalion in the middle, unsettled region called Midthalion. Peoples: Races in Eoroth aren't different species; the species of man is just incredibly diverse, consisting of many known races (and perhaps some unknown). There are no humans in Thalion. Thalion's races include variations of elves, dwarves, halflings (billowits), pierros (clownish men), bergeracs (long-nosed and swarthy men of honour), orcs, trolls, goblins, and hobgobs. The Church: There's one dominant religion in Westhalion. The faith of the elves is an analogue to Roman Catholicism while the dwarves practice an Eastern Orthodox analogue. (Forgive me for not having figured out names yet.) The practitioners worship a triune god (the All-Father, Son-of-All, and Holy Light). There are many powers in heaven, all created by God. These include the Twelve High Thrones, individual, created beings who take on the role of guiding mankind in different aspects, drawing them closer and closer to God. (That should be the essentials. I could write pages on the theology. Comment where something's unclear in the story.) Natural World: There are plants and animals in Eoroth, but the world is also inhabited by spirits called aeons. Aeons are transformative beings; in the wild, they'll change based on whatever is happening nearby. Pollute a pond? Expect to see toxic toad-men running around. Leave a bunch of dead bodies strewn across a battlefield? Expect the place to become haunted with ghouls and ghasts. Druids are important for making sure that the aeons are pacified; that their needs are met so that they don't become rampaging monsters. Where the wilderness becomes overgrown, so too do the aeons. Aeons and People: Long ago, men learned how to trap aeons in stone tablets and use them for war. Now, anyone can capture an aeon into a special staff made by a druid. Men train, raise, and bond with these aeons. Druids often build entire ranches devoted to raising healthy aeons as allies and companions. Aeons are divided into twelve known families, and the church sees these as corresponding with the Twelve Thrones in Heaven. Direction: My goal is to get the story to one million words by June next year. I have tons of content in mind for the world. I want to release novels set in different ages of the world depicting different historical events. I hope to expand the setting into a tabletop role-playing game as well as a series of old-school JRPGs. But, it all begins with writing some stories and publishing my novels.
