《Mages and Wizards》9. The first challenge
Advertisement
In no time at all one week passed and it was time for the first challenge. Everyone woke up bright and early excited to start the day. They all got ready in their usual wear and went to their common rooms to go down together.
After finishing eating, they all went to the place to where the first challenge would take place. When everyone from all the houses arrived Dumbledore started explaining the task.
"The First Task of the Triwizard Tournament. The champions take it in turn to try to steal a golden egg from the clutches of a different kind of dragon. Please wait in that room to find out what type of dragon you will be facing."
Wendy and natsu immediately frowned. They didn't want to fight dragons, they were raised by them! Fighting one would be like hurting their parents cousins. Even Erza was kind of depressed. Like seriously, her mother was a freaking dragon, why would she want to fight one. Gray and Lucy weren't particularly sad, but they knew exactly what the other three were feeling and that caused them to frown as well.
Once in the room Harry came up to them. "Why do you guys look so sad?" He asked. Natsu, Wendy and Erza just looked ant the ground, gray answering for them. "We don't really want to fight dragons. We—them especially," he pointed at natsu, Wendy and Erza. "Have kind of a strong... connection you could say, with dragons."
Harry had no idea what they meant but decided to go with it anyway. "Ok... anyway, they are going to tell us what dragon we are going to be facing." He motioned them forward. They obliged and fallowed.
Harry ended up with the Hungarian Horntail, Fleur with the Welsh Green dragon, krum with the Chinese Fireball and Cedric with the Swedish Short-snout. Natsu got the Hebridean Black Dragon, Lucy with the Antipodean Opaleye Dragon, Wendy with the Romanian Longhorn Dragon, gray with the Peruvian Vipertooth dragon and Erza with the Norwegian Ridgeback Dragon.

They all sat inside the tent waiting for it to be their turn. They heard loud screeching noises and spells being cast. There were cheers everywhere. Each person got marked until it was time for Harry to go.
He went outside the tent receiving cheers from Gryffindor and fairy tail alike. He saw his dragon, and started remembering the description of it he was told by hermione before.
"Supposedly the most dangerous of all dragon breeds, the Hungarian Horntail has black scales and is lizard-like in appearance. The Hungarian Horntail is a dragon native to Hungary and is considered to be one of the most dangerous dragon breeds, if not the most dangerous. It possesses black scales and is lizard-like in appearance."
He then also remembered what Hagrid said and his explanation.
"Oh, don't worry about 'em, Harry, they're seriously misunderstood creatures — Although, I have to admit that Horntail is a right nasty piece of work.
"It has black scales, and is lizard-like in appearance. It also has yellow eyes, with vertical pupils like a cat's, bronze horns and similarly coloured spikes that protrude from its long tail which it will gladly deploy in combat. The dragon's roar is a yowling, screeching scream, and its flame can reach to about fifty feet. While having a very far reaching flame the Horntail's breath can reach extremely high temperatures as it made a stone turn red hot in seconds. Its eggs are cement-coloured and particularly hard-shelled. The Horntail's foods of choice include cattle, sheep, goats, and whenever possible, humans."
He gulped and readied his wand.

Harry managed to grab the egg using his skills as a seeker. He smiled at the golden egg in his hand, looked at what he scored and went back to the tent.
When he got back, the 5 remaining people were congratulating him— just like they did to the others— and readied themselves.
When the next dragon was prepared, fairy tail went out.
First up, was Lucy.

Lethal Combo (Weapon-Based Martial Arts Adventure)
Quang is a slacker that doesn't have much going for him except for his skills in Chinese kickboxing and his proficiency with a pair of nunchucks. Selene is broke but still manages to overestimate herself. The fact that she's knows Hapkido and how to handle a set of tonfas doesn't help either. Together, they're going to get into a lot of trouble. Just like everyone else in the sweltering West Coast city of Isla Lucrecia, Quang Nghiem is struggling to get by. His family’s business can’t make ends meet, his childhood friend has vanished without a trace and the self-imposed local “Union” threatens to tear down the family restaurant if they can’t pay their dues. Fortunately for him, part-time lifeguard and fellow out-of-practice martial artist Selene Olwagen has nothing better to do and is more than willing to help Quang track down his missing friend. However, there’s more lurking in the shadows of Isla Lucrecia than typical street gangs and criminals. Almost every chapter will have illustrations to accompany it. Heavily inspired by fighting games and classic martial arts films. Expect that kind of tone of going in. Updates twice a week, (mostly) on Wednesday and Saturday. Illustrations and covers were done by Ati: www.instagram.com/serious_ati/ Check out more art of Lethal Combo and my other projects here: www.instagram.com/fgc_checkmate/

Hope
There were 2 options: Fight the same war for countless more aeons. Shatter the Betrayer's undead legions time and time again until all was ground to dust. Because the endless legions truly never end. A hair's breath of ground in a century is enough if the war takes all of eternity. Or to choose Hope. To cast away his memories, his power, his very life. To wager everything on a chance to prevent their eventual end or to perish trying. Because if he were to return it would be with the power necessary to finally slay what remains of the Betrayer. Of the last Aspect. Only then would all things be right. And so, he chose the latter. Expect:Weak to strong quick-ish.Powerful MC reincarnates, gradually starts regaining memories.MC that is an actual character not a plot device.My original unique magic system discovered along with the MC.My original setting with mythos that have both been living rent free in my head for actual years.Opening arc will be less fast than the following story. Good writing (I think) and grammar. Upload schedulle: 2 chapters a week of 3-4k words each. I want to upscale to 3 in the future. Meant to be read in RR dark mode. For those coming here from my other stories, this is indeed a reimagining of my older story, CotM. I say reimagining because I have changed so much it cannot be called just a rewrite. Among the major changes, MC is fundamentally different in personality and background, I have actually planned the story out and changed it almost completely and I have adjusted my mythos so it no longer has as many holes as swiss cheese.
