Demons and Warlocks
Eldarion appeared in the midst of a Desert, looking around, he saw the pyramids. It was a familiar sight, in the previous life as Harry, he had seen pictures of Egypt. Ron bragged a lot about their trip. It seems this world was similar to the first one. He tried to expand his senses like his great grandmother Galadriel but a sharp pain shot in his head. He massaged his temples letting out a sigh. He was trying to sense the surroundings, but his control was lost after accepting the seal. He felt his senses spreading up to the hundreds of miles in an instant. His magic has grown with the ascension making it difficult to control.
Looking around he saw a city at distance, he walked towards it. It was better if he found some time to test his magic. He walked around the market, enjoying the sights. Carefully touching the mind of those around, he learned basic facts here.
It was the year 1642, as he moved around the city absentmindedly he drew eyes of others due to his looks. Soon it was night, and he ran into some grotesque creature. He swiftly moved around to dodge its attack, as it got closer he used magic to hold it in place. A moment later he threw it into the nearest wall. It was clearly unaffected as it got up quickly. He was hesitant to use any spells because he had little control. He smashed it around a bit more, but clearly, the physical attack had no effects. A simple spell with his supercharged magic could blow up this whole block. He was thinking of running when someone blasted it with a fireball.
Turning around, he saw someone in his thirty stepping forward. There was a glamour around him; he ignored his curiosity in peeking respecting the privacy. "Thank you," He moved towards his saviour, "what exactly was that?" The man gave him a long inquisitive stare before asking, "You don't know about the demons?"
"you don't know about the shadow world," The man stated again as a statement. Seeing his clueless expression, the man tried, "I am Ragnor Fell." Ragnor moved closer, observing the leftover of the demon. "We should get out of here. I will explain this," and motioned him to follow.
"My name is Harry," He introduced his old name walking beside Ragnor, it might not be common in this time, but it was better than Eldarion. They moved to the inn where Ragnor was staying.
Entering the room, Ragnor sat on the bed, asking him to take the chair, "You did not have any interaction with the Shadow world before." Harry shook his head as he knew nothing here. Ragnor started with, "You know about Warlocks? Harry."
"What?"
"you were using magic against the demon," Ragnor started him, seeing Harry nod he continued," Only warlocks have that kind of magic, you are a Worlock." after a short pause seeing a still confused look on Harry he guessed, "who clearly have no idea about shadow world. How old are you exactly?"
"Twenty-one years old," Harry acted like a clueless newcomer, which was not difficult given his circumstances. He looked in his twenties, but he was sure it meant something else here.
"It is rare, usually children found about this in early teens," Ragnor felt Harry clearly needed someone to explain more, given the tension with the Shadowhunters. Also, Harry was clearly young. He could use some help, "Who did you grow up with?"
Since Harry was using the name from the previous life, he took that back story, "With my mother's relatives." Ragnor explained about about demons and their half-blood children Warlocks. He was also given a brief introduction about Shadowhunters and downworlders. The tensions since the witch trials. The Clave orders to forbade the hiring of warlocks for assistance. Harry bit back a groan for annoyance, this was really a bloody world. He had to keep his secret and know more before acting.
"You know where I could find somewhere safe," Harry asked, "I don't know about anything about this world." It was better to look for help since he did not want a fight on his hand. It would be a blood bath if his magic got out of control, "I don't want to mix in this world." At least not till he had everything under control.
"I don't think that would be possible anymore," Ragnor explained with a pity thinking how each Warlock wanted a normal life which was ultimately impossible, "I could help you with adjusting here."
Harry took his offer, Next few days Ragnor explained more about the situation here. He explained about the spiral Council. Harry agreed to travel with him since he did not have any plans.
