Domain expansion

I tossed and I turned, I was having a nightmare and a really bad one at that. I dreamt that I was at Hogwarts, I couldn't see which house I was in which probably meant it wasn't determined yet. I was peacefully sleeping in my dorm when I was suddenly pulled out of my bed.

A shade passed over me and entered my body. It spoke in riddles, but I could make out a couple things. The figure was fully cloaked, just like a dementor. It also gave off the same vibe as one, my fingers turned cold and my curtains of my bed seemed to freeze when it passed throught them. Finally it spoke:

ℌ𝔢𝔩𝔩𝔬 𝔩𝔦𝔱𝔱𝔩𝔢 𝔬𝔫𝔢,

(Also in normal words just in case you couldn't make it out because of the font:

Hello little one, Coming year we're going to have a lot of fun. So look for me here, I'm going to be making my first premier! So come here, little one, I'm absolutely famished, Come quick or I'll make everyone you care about vanish!)

I woke up in a cold sweat and just about managed to stifle a scream. Lucifer looked at me with his headlight like red eyes and gave me a strange look like he wanted to say: ''What are you doing strange human I was enjoying my rest.''

I petted Lucifer and sat upright in my bed. What did that all even mean? Was it at Hogwarts and why would it specifically want me? I was now debating whether to go to Hogwarts at all. But I quickly made my mind up, I wasn't going to sit still in this boring manor for the rest of my days.

I would tell Lycan of my worries but I would insist on going to Hogwarts. I desperately craved for some friends and some other faces than just my family. It was nice being here but there was always this feeling of impending doom, like the war would reach us at any moment. And I was quite sick of it, I wanted to make some friends and forget about the war for a while, even if it was for a little while.

When I got back up the sun met my face once more. There was still some snow but it was already melting. Some of the ice that was on the lake was also already melting. It seemed we needed a couple of days to fully freeze over the ice.

Nilsey popped into my room once more and told me that breakfast was ready and told me that Lycan was expecting me for some matters. I nodded and thanked her, she told me that she didn't need my thanks but I insisted.

So I showered once more and went downstairs with Lucifer just chilling on my shoulder. This time only Lycan was having breakfast so I sat beside him. I decided it was best to immediately tell him about my nightmare since it was fresh in my mind. I also wanted to inquire what he wanted me for but I'll save that for later.

I filled him in about my dream and asked him what he thought about it. It couldn't be dementor, surely not, they don't speak after all and I'm pretty certain I can't talk with dementor. Lycan seemed to be mulling it over, there were a lot of dark beings after all in this world.

''Did it float?'' Lycan asked me seriously, I raised my shoulders, ''I couldn't see, the dream was pretty vague, I could only really make up the words not anything else.'' Lycan nodded at my words.

''It seems that Hogwarts won't be a cinch for you, I wouldn't have imagined there were creatures roaming inside Hogwarts.'' Lycan massaged his head with his fingers. I thought his words to be pretty ironic, there was still a very angry big Basilisk inside of Hogwarts and I was definitely not planning to meet it any time soon.

''I'm not sure if I should allow you to go to Hogwarts with these circumstances, but I also don't wanna put you in a cage, a boy of your age needs some space after all…'' Lycan seemed to be deep in thought, but after a while he snapped out of it.

''I'll talk about this with the others, I'll try to make sure that you can go to Hogwarts, magic is also beneficial for your training after all. And making some allies while at Hogwarts might also be a good idea.'' Lycan said with a determined look on his face.

It seemed that I had gone to the right person to express my worries. I'm pretty sure that my mum would've immediately forbidden me to go. And that would've made sense but I still need a little freedom. Otherwise I'll go insane in this manor.

''So what did you call me down here for?'' I asked Lycan politely. Lycan chuckled and gave me a grandfatherly smile, ''It seems that Celeste's training has been rubbing off on you, good. Well, my child, I called you down here because I've decided that Raiden is strong enough to get his own domain.'' When Lycan was done talking I could hear a loud screech in my head. It was Raiden, he apparently looked forward to the point where he could have a domain, and possibly a physical body.

''When do we head out?'' I inquired, I had an excited look in my eyes. I also was looking forward to this point. Raiden would become even more powerful and surely then we could handle the level 1 metal statues in the basement.

''Right now.'' Lycan said, I quickly ate my breakfast and we went back to the waterfall. But this time we went a little further to a hilltop. The sky had become grey and there was a storm coming. Lycan turned to me and started speaking, ''Raiden has a Lightning and a Wind nature, this makes him great for becoming a Storm nature, but if he wants that, he'll need to let go of his fire nature.''

I nodded, Raiden had heard the question and was also thinking about it. Suddenly Raiden had returned into his ball shape and a voice came from the ball ''Let's do it, I don't have much affinity with my fire nature anyways.''

Lycan and I both nodded at his words, ''Well then there's only one thing left to do, You have to anger a Storm spirit and make him go down to meet you.'' Lycan said looking at me and Raiden.

Anger a storm spirit? How were we supposed to do that? Just call him a little bitch or something? ''How are we supposed to anger a storm spirit?'' I asked Lycan, he quickly responded, ''Spirits don't like it when you intrude into their domain, just release some of your power into those clouds and they should answer you.''

Raiden and I turned to each other, well, I assumed he turned to me, it was quite hard to know which way a ball was turning if it didn't have any markings on it. Maybe I should just draw a face on him so I would know when he was looking at me.

''Let's do this'' Raiden said with a determined voice, I nodded, ''We got this'' I answered him. We turned to the clouds above us and we both focussed our power into the clouds. Raiden went back inside me and I released a lightning bolt straight into the clouds above us.

It didn't take long for a figure to come down. There was a huge boom and there was a figure in front of me pointing his finger accusingly. ''Yo not cool bro! Here I was just storming away up there and suddenly there's lightning coming my way!''

He had an angry look on his face, the Storm spirit's body was made out of clouds and there was a miniature lightning storm going on in his body. He also had a moustache made from lightning. He carried around the smell of ozone. Not really a great smell.

The Storm spirit continued, ''Would you like it if I threw some lightning at you?!'' The storm spirit said in an angry tone, the spirit sure had a temper but I kinda understood it. I also didn't like it if someone disturbed me all of the sudden.

Meanwhile Raiden was yelling in my head, 'Yes! Throw a lightning bolt at us! Hey kid, tell him to do it.' I chuckled at his eager response, 'Let's wait for a bit, let's get him comfortable and then strike when he's settled.'

Raiden agreed with me after a while and I managed to calm down the spirit. I told him how cool his lightning was and how cool his storm was that was above us. ''Haha if you like that, watch this!'' Suddenly a bolt of lightning crashed down into the forest. It lit a tree on fire in the process.

I could hear some angry screaming in the direction of the forest but the Storm spirit just laughed and bulged his smoke muscles. He got something out of his back pocket… Wait what, his back pocket? Or did he just grab it straight out his body, I really wasn't sure.

It was a joint, he lit it and offered me some, the Storm spirit was sure getting comfortable. Lycan gave him a distasteful look and headed to me, ''It's now or never my child.'' I nodded and Raiden also seemed to understand.

I gathered my power and sent a torrent of lightning towards the Storm spirit, who's name was Soren by the way I forgot to mention that. Soren loved talking and couldn't stop talking. But I had enough of his chit-chat.

The torrent of lightning hit Soren in the chest and he fell backwards. The torrent of lightning didn't really seem to damage him. But he was angry now, his joint had fallen on the floor and rain came down from his eyes. ''How dare you! Nobody destroys another person's joint like that!''

The storm swelled, this was promising to be a tough battle...
