a new start 3(end)

Both Alex and CS froze at the cleared objective, shocked that such a thing was living under the prison. Alex rapidly snapped out of his state, and anger rose against the British Ministry. As the one in charge of the prison, the government couldn't know of the wards and their reason. Even if they were unaware, it wouldn't lessen their sins.

'Those fucker had feed this monster from years! Even those stuck up assholes could have made a deal to use Numergard to keeps their prisoners, but no! they keep them near the English and old continents shores, under soul-sucking monsters guards!' Knowing there was n use to rent more against them, Alex took a deep breath and settled his nerves.

Walking carefully to the unmoving amas of the matter resting atop the pile of bones, Alex took a glimpse of the thing remaining.

Like the Dementors, nothing more than viscous gunk was left behind. Storing it like the rest of the dementors, Alex turned the pile of bones into powder before turning the rock where once stood the tower into bricks.

Two hours later, the once rock jutting out of the northern sea vanish for a hundred metres under the sea level. Fearing what they could bring back to life, Alex had destroyed any knowledge he found, about those evil runes.

The only trace left in the world was his eyes and brain registered, and even this was sealed in a memory cube, erasing any hint in his mind.

His task done, he called for an elf to return on the island.

~~~

What awaits him at his return was a particular sight. Not only was he taken outside the clan compound, but the grassland had now turned into a high-hand district made of Manor.

Standing not far was all the elves of the land, the original six forming a group apart from the rest of the elves, with Kreacher at their head.

The first thing that attracts his attention was that the elf population had skyrocketed to around six hundred heads.

From the clan elves' disapproving gaze, Alex understood that Kreacher might have taken some liberty to deal with orders.

"Ok, first of all, Kreacher, might explain to me the situation, please?" Asked Alex, making all the other elves lower their head, some shivering.

"Master asked Kreacher to bring bad master things to the island, so Kreacher and ministry elves brought bad master things." Say him proudly, making Alex understood that the elf had literally plundered the Manor, and most likely thrown out the inhabitants due to the ownerless wards.

Alex could have said something to this, but in doing so, he avoided to miss something, so he let it pass.

-Plus, imagine their faces when they realise that they are now poppers!- Laughed CS, knowning the state of those Houses.

Alex did snicker a little on this, not worrying about the fate of the left peoples.

'It may have been kinder to kills them rather than leaves them as there are now, anyway, its not my problem anymore.'

"I understand, while it was different from what I expected at first, it's not necessarily a bad thing, good job Kreacher." Respond Alex, making the elf puff his chest, while some behind him started to relax a little. "Now, While I remember agreeing taking care of the elves of the Ministry, I don't think that they were this many, could you tell me from where they came?"

"The rest be Hogwarts elves, master. The school does not have enough work for them anymore." Starting to became a little unsure that it was still a bright idea.

"So you take them here, right?" Say him a little accusatory.

"Yes, master." Responded the elf meekly.

"*sigh* There not helping, I'm partially responsible for the situation. Alright, I will allow it, but under my conditions." Say him, looking at the elves with a stern gaze, making them cringe a little.

"First, every one of you will swear on your life and magic, fidelity to the clan. Not an individual, but the clan itself." Started Alex, giving them the swear's exact word, waiting for them to do so before going further.

Once they all did, he relaxes a little, knowing that none will be able to report back to any past master. Alex noded at his first elves, when he sees all, other than Ash and Thunder momently vanish, knowing that four of all the elves just poped away while the other was swearing allegence.

"The clan came first and foremost; your task will be to take care of the land. Two will be selected later to serve under Ash, THunder, Winter, Spring, Winter and Autumn. Those fourteen selected will be the only allowed in the clan compound; all others will work on the land around. If anyone of you had something they need to make know, you would pass through Kreacher, the only other person who will have access to the compound.

On the island, other than the wild beast, we have a herd of Unicorn and Thestral and Centaurs. You are allowed to interact with them, but need the authorisation of the centaur first.

For now, I want three groups; one will dismantle the Manors, and collect everything inside. You will separate their content accordingly Spring and Autumn order. The rest of you will look around the world and bring here any junkyard content. The mundane had polluted the earth for too long; I want to clean it. The last group will be divided in two, staying there to start to treat the incoming waste.

Don't be seen, but don't hide your action, the wizards will deal with the fallout. If not for them hiding, we wouldn't be where we are now."

~~~

Hearing Alex, all elves cheered at the large tasks given. While the last group stood there, waiting for the first waste to came, Alex constructs simple artefacts to process them. Explaining their working, he left the workers feeding the machine, starting to collect the forming ingot of mater, from metal to plastic and passing by tissues. Everything was recyclable, using the basic of Transfiguration, shape to shape.

As it was a simple change of form, and that magic was only used through the process, those will become permanent Transfiguration. Alex used the energy ball as a battery, giving Dementors a real first use for the community, even if they are already dead.

~~~

Done with the elves outside the compound, Alex returned to his house. He barely enters before a red blur impacted him. Alex caught Susan, hugging her back after the last hours he had.

Gently nudging here, he led her to a seat, before narrating her his adventures.

Susan knew that few things were able to wound him outside, but not seeing him back after when he should have worried her slightly.

"Come," said Alex, leading her outside.

Both Evans made way to the compound, passing fields and grazing animals out of the house before stopping at the Yggdrasil root. Where once stood the little bush only, was now a carefully carved structure.

The bush was still present, at the centre, but anything around out it after a meter had been changed. The ground had been replaced with a thick, unique circular platform of the whitest marble. Equally separated on the outer circle, the three gods' lifelike statue, taller than man, who blessed the bush, Freya, Freyr, Frigga, stood.

In the centre, another, her hand spread in a cup just above the bush, was the last statue present, Skadi. Like the three other statues, she easily overlooks the small brush and those who would stand underneath her hands.

Drawn in the marble, a ritual circle made of gold and mithril alloy, gave a mystic vibe to the place. Even amount the compound, the place was truly magical. With the three-meter high statues, the light blue bush with translucent leaves, white marble and soft golden green shine of the ritual circle, no man would think the place other than magical; the air thicker than anywhere else.

~~~

Leading Susan back to the smaller stylised circle under the hands of Skadi, Alex push his magic in the ground.

On the goddess statue, an unseen network lit of a golden hue. The eyes of the unmoving statue released a soft flash of equally golden light, before animated.

Taking possession of the vessel created by her child, Skadi palms open, slowly returning to her side, while her gaze falls on Alex.

Seeing him standing there, his hands linked to his mate brought a soft smile on her stone face.

"The Allfather had borne witness of your plight and action. The destruction of the one past knows as Herpo the Fool brings great satisfaction to Asgard. The Allfather is proud of you, child, and so do I." Say Skadi her tone softening while her smile grows warmer.

"Thank you, Mother."

"As all heroic act must be a gift with an equal recompense, the Allfather, along with Hela, have come to terms and are ready to gift you such reward, for a fee you are carrying with you." Told her to them.

Alex thought for a second, before taking out the different SED containing Riddle fractured soul.

Skadi gives another short smile at seeing her bright child understanding her meaning. Extending a hand, she receives the cubes, before vanishing them the realm of her sister, where he was past due to have landed a decade prior.

"Good now..." Say her, snapping her finger at the same time, making a white orb exit Alex chest.

As the same time, her finger snaps resound in the air, a body appears to her left, while a ripple in the space fabric tears open. From there walked Lily, still in her spectral form. The two mothers briefly looked at each other, nodding at the same time. As if under the control of her hands, both orb and spectre approach Lily's intact corpse, prepared by Snape, before laid to rest.

The three let in one other, creating a brief cocoon of milky light. As it dies, Lily Evans Stirred for the first time in eleven-year, returning to the living, with a body, not a day older than the day of her death.

~~~

At the sight of the woman he thought lost, Alex momently was out of breath.

'She even more beautiful than before.' Thought him at her sight.

While she kept her past appearance, minor detail had changed from her. Her red hair had taken the same shade of blood-red than the two lovers, the green of her eyes now more vibrant and her skin was exuding an abundant vitality.

Skadi took a second to look at her, fondly, before turning to the three altogether.

"Your choice his now your own. You could for a single-family, or Lily can try her luck and found a new mate and start another line on her own." Say her, with a knowing tone, already knowing what Lily would choose. A slight smirk formed on her lip at the sight of Lily light blush, before her expression turned a little more serious, catching the three's attention. "I hate to separate lost kins just barely reuniting, but your time to all here is due, and news life awaits the three of you far from this land."

Skadi words brought some dread to Susan, knowing what was to happen.

Turning to Alex, Skadi expression turned grave, before spoking. "You already know what would await you, or had some hunch." Say her, not commenting when she see him nod. "Your future didn't lay in this world, but into another. While you will be given a new chance, you all are not ready yet. As the Allfather decision, Lily and Susan will be sent to a land where magic governs through a different system, you both will learn to have a better grasp on your own while learning a new culture.

As for you, Alex, your life will be submitted to numerous hardship and danger, all needed for your personal growth, and be ready. You will reunite with your ladies when your task accomplished before your last travel is due.

As you didn't face any challenge while growing, you will bring nothing more than a gift to the unknown world, other than you knowledge and magic. Frost will stay with Lily and Susan, and I will overlook this land until you are in your last world and reunite again, good luck, my children."

In a last and final finger snap, four entities vanish from the world, travelling through space and dimensions, before landing in lands where new challenges await them.
