Chapter 14. The path to magic.

In the middle of a clearing in the Vermillion forest. A young man with golden hair and black eyes was sitting in the lotus position and stroking the figure of a blackbird in his hands.

Some electrifying arcs of indigo color crossed their bodies as if they were in the midst of an electrifying storm.

Of course, these were Hypnos and Nyx. It had been only a few months since his first practice of the Runic language.

Since the difficulty of learning about the elemental language will be accounted for, he swallowed his pride and considered asking for help from the true flame masters.

In the first few months, Hypnos learned in an extreme way in the nest of the Phoenix. Being surrounded by birds made of pure magic flames for a long period of time, made him question his own concepts.

One must not compel something that he has no knowledge of. And this was proven when he himself learned from the flames. Breathe and feel the oxygen being ignited.

After acquiring some fundamental features of the flame arts, Hypnos was ready to learn other rune languages.

Luckily for him, one of the electricity masters lived by his side.

What was better in the art of lightning than the Thunderbirds themselves?

Since she was just a Thunderbird puppy, Nyx was still inexperienced in becoming one with her natural element.

Because of this, Hypnos decided to grow up with Nyx. She was his lightning familiar. On days of rain, sun, and electrical storm. They were always together.

Seeing Nyx sleeping softly on his lap, he stroked the feathers over his head.

"Time to wake up, sleepyhead."

She yawned with a soft joke, and stretched, causing the arcs of electricity to increase to a great extent.

"Let's go back. I still have to pack with Liz."

Kya!

Nyx nodded and spun off into the sky.

In the sky, it continued to swirl until its size grew to a great extent.

His majestic black-figure stretched his wings to the fullest. In total there were three pairs, with them on top of their backs, middle and just before their long blue-feathered tails.

The moment it flapped its wings, the sound of thunder would arise and in the distance, it looked like storm clouds would gather.

Not wanting a big storm on a beautiful sunny day, he shouted.

"Easy girl, you don't have to be so excited, you come with me to Hogwarts!" He said with a smile.

Over the months, his mood had become milder due to some knowledge that came to him.

His private forest and mansion were in a place that he knew with the palm of his hands!

He was in Greece!

Even though he knew it wasn't the same Greece he was used to, the thought of seeing a new side of his home intrigued him.

When he felt free to enjoy human pleasures, it was too late. The divine war had spread far too long and humanity did not even exist at that late time.

But here he was. In a parallel universe where the earth and humanity were still alive! Even if the Gods do not exist in that timeline for some reason.

But at some point, that would change. He was here! A higher Entity in the flesh!

He could not wait to regain his divine power and establish himself once more on the throne.

After all, it is strange to live as something that is not. It would be like a human to live for a few years like a toy he had forgotten as a young man.

As soon as he crossed the gates of his palace, a slight figure jumped on his arms and he felt a soft sensation over his mouth.

"Welcome back?" He asked with a frown but then smiled gently.

"Welcome back!" Liz replied with a warm smile.

"So. I'm back." He said, again kissing Elizabeth's sweet lips.

"Hm .." She murmured with a flushed face.

"Let's pack up soon. Argh. Why does the Hogwarts train leave so early?" He said sighing at having to wake up early again.

"Hm? No need. I already packed up. You were taking too long with your practice." Liz said with an upset but cute face in Hypnos's eyes.

"Thank you, then." He said, patting Liz's cute head.

She stopped complaining and blushed to look at the floor.

The two enjoyed the cozy moment until a coughing sound caught their attention.

"Hrm. It's getting late, Young sir and young lady. Since it's getting late. Why don't you two enjoy the rest of the night in bed? After all, the night is long and a lot can be done in that time ..." Sharn said them with a smile and an insinuating tone.

Hypnos rolled his eyes and Liz lowered her head even more to hide her flushed face.

Hypnos had already decided to take the next step only when they were coming of age.

Even if he was not interested or even caring about the rules that humanity imposed. He still didn't like the feeling of right and wrong. So, he preferred to have a little respect for his relationship.

===

It was already morning, and the rising sun illuminated the already busy city of London.

King Cross Station. 10:20 am.

How precisely the train left at 11 o'clock. There was plenty of time for Hypnos and the company to arrive at the station.

Being accompanied by Sharn, Nyx, and Liz. The two youngest walked hand in hand.

How they had interspace rings. Courtesy of your ancestors. They could get around without large heavy luggage.

Looking at Sharn, he sighed. He couldn't take his personal butler with him to Hogwarts.

Even if Elves are allowed to enter. He and neither Sharn would accept that kind of unnecessary attention, just because he was a 'different' elf. Hypnos even sometimes thought it would be interesting to show them what a real elf was.

In the past, it was also possible for students to join together. Unfortunately, this tradition has been diluted over time to the point that even Hypnos did not know if it was still possible.

Well. Even if you don't want to enter as a house elf. Sharn was still a magical creature that could enter the limits of Hogwarts by appearance. Like other creatures, like the teleportation of flames from a phoenix and the appearance of a domestic elf (Illien).

And even if he was caught. He could risk the old tradition of master and servant.

There were only a few minutes left for the train to leave. While saying goodbye to his teacher and also a servant. Hypnos captured some figures with his peripheral vision.

The pale blond boy with his air of generic nobility, and a few minutes later, the figure of the red-haired family and the boy who survived.

"I will need your hand to renovate my room later. Don't worry, I will call you myself at the moment." He said and said goodbye to Sharn, who was watching them with a friendly smile.

Nevertheless, when he was confronted by the sight of others, his face and aura became cold and distant, before disappearing with a popping sound.

After crossing the iconic 9¾ platform, they found themselves in front of a big bright red train.

"We are approaching the wizarding world. And it will be like a turbulent storm." He said with an excited tone.

Kya!

Nyx screamed as if she specifically liked the storm part.
