Royal Drakens

Harry watched as Steelfang opened up his mother's will. The magic burst through the whole room and Harry watched as his mother appeared as a wisp. "Last Will and Testament of Lilian Aurora Potter," Steelfang announced.

"I, Lilian Aurora Potter, Lady Gryffindor, and Lady Ravenclaw of Wizarding Britain, make, publish and declare this as to be my last will and testament, hereby revoking any and all previous wills and codicils made by me.

I appoint Steelfang to serve as Executor of my Will.

I, Lilian Aurora Potter attest that I am happily married to James Fleamont Potter, also known as the stupid toerag.

I have only one child. The name and birthdate of my child are as follows:

Child Name | Birthdate | Living or Deceased

Harry James Potter | July 31, 1980 | Living

All references in this will to my child are to the aforementioned children as well as any children subsequently born to or adopted by me.

It is my request that my executor shall make arrangements for my funeral services to be held and conducted at Godric's Hollow.

All costs and expenses associated with my burial requests shall be paid from the proceeds of my estate.

To James Fleamont Potter, may he live past me, I give to you your son and all my possessions left out of my will. May you love our beloved son as much as you loved me, you stupid toerag.

To Alice Jane Longbottom, I give to you your godson and Vault 907. May our boys grow to be brothers and have each other's backs as our husbands did.

To Frank Anthony Longbottom, I give the contents of Vault 908. Protect my boy, please. He is everything to me. May our sons live a happy life, bonding as siblings should.

To my precious son, Harry James Potter, I give you everything. I am so sorry that life has given you a bad hand. Your father says he has information in his will if he is not there with you. Follow it, please, I do not wish for you to be cursed with the weight of the wizarding world on your shoulders. You are my precious baby boy. I am saddened you have to listen to me through this and that I am not there with you.

To Albus too many names Dumbledore, I give you nothing, go rot in a cell somewhere.

To Pettigrew, I hope you die so I make a special request with death to have your soul as a cat toy. I curse you and your entire family line, suffer!" Lily stated Her body faded out after her part was completed.

"The forgoing instrument was signed, sealed, published, and declared by the goblin nation, the above named Lilian Aurora Potter to be such Lilian's last will and testament in our presence, all being at the same time, and we, at such Lilian's request and in such Steelfang's presence and in the presence of each other, have subscribed our names as witnesses on the aforementioned date above," Steelfang read out for the group.

The names appeared in the air showing who had been there to officialize his mother's will.

Albus Wulfric Percival Brian Dumbledore

Alice Jane Longbottom

Harry sighed as he cuddled Charlie and held onto Jade's hand. "Harry?" Charlie prompted.

Harry knew why Charlie kept prompting him like this. It was a lot of information to unload. "The only ones that are alive are Neville's parents... but they are essentially in a coma. Sirius's will is next." Harry whispered the last part nervously.

"I'm here for you, Harry," Charlie rumbled as he wrapped his arm around Harry's skinny waist.

Harry sighed as he let go of Jade's hand and he cuddled and clung to Charlie. "Go ahead, Steelfang," Harry whimpered.

"Last Will and Testament of Sirius Orion Black III," Steelfang recited. The magic wasn't as strong but Sirius did appear. It was a much older Sirius. It looked like he had snuck out three or four days before his death.

"I, Sirius Orion Black III, Lord of the House of Black of Wizarding Britain, make, publish and declare this as to be my last will and testament, hereby revoking any and all previous wills and codicils made by me.

I appoint Shatterclaw, to serve as Executor of my Will.

I, Sirius Orion Black III attest that I am sadly single.

I have only my godson. The name and birthdate of my godson are as follows:

Child Name | Birthdate | Living or Deceased

Harry James Potter | July 31, 1980 | Living

All references in this will to my child are to the aforementioned children, as well as any children subsequently born to or adopted by me.

It is my request that my executor shall make arrangements for my funeral services to be held and conducted at Godric's Hollow.

All costs and expenses associated with my burial requests shall be paid from the proceeds of my estate.

To Remus John Lupin, I give you Harry. Protect him, Moony. I forgave you for abandoning him, please don't do it again. You get vault 409 and all the money and books inside. I love you Remus J. Lupin. I was always a coward when it came to the feelings I had for you. Protect our cub.

To Albus Dumbledore, I leave the zero fucks I give for your bloody war. LEAVE MY GODSON ALONE!

To Harry James Potter, I give you everything. My money, My family name, have it all, Cub. Do what you want with it. The only request I have is to get away from Dumbledore. Find your mate, your father told me what you were. I'm Demon Royalty. I wish I could have whisked you away to the demon realm. I was so weakened by the dementors, though. I am sorry I failed you, Cub. For my failure, I also give you my spot in the demon courts. If you ever need their assistance, claim my spot. To do so, say 'I, Harry James Potter, claim my rightful place in my godfather's spot willed to me'. I know you would rather have me there, Cub, and I am sorry I am not." Sirius's voice wavered before the image of him disappeared.

"The forgoing instrument was signed, sealed, published and declared by the goblin nation, the above named Sirius Orion Black III to be such Sirus's last will and testament in our presence, all being at the same time, and we, at such Sirius's request and in such Shatterclaw's presence and in the presence of each other, have subscribed our names as witnesses on the aforementioned date above," Steelfang read out before the magic shifted to show two names.

Andromeda Tonks

Arthur Weasley

Harry sighed softly as he hid his face and, effectively, his tears. He wanted Padfoot. He wanted his godfather. Giving out a soft distressed whine, Charlie pulled him into his lap. "Shh I have you, Harry," Charlie cooed as he rubbed Harry's back.

It was a couple of moments before Harry could get himself under control. It was a near thing but he managed to do it. "Steelfang, please continue. We still have three more," Harry whined.

Steelfang nodded his head before speaking. "Last Will and Testament of Remus John Lupin."

"I, Remus John Lupin, Head of the Lupin House of Wizarding Britain, make, publish and declare this as to be my last will and testament, hereby revoking any and all previous wills and codicils made by me.

I appoint Steelfang to serve as Executor of my Will.

I, Remus John Lupin, attest that I am married to Nymphadora Lupin née Tonks.

I have two children. The names and birthdates of my children are as follows:

Child Name | Birthdate | Living or Deceased

Harry James Potter | July 31, 1980 | Living

Theodore Remus Lupin | April 11, 1998 | Compromised

All references in this will to my children are to the aforementioned children, as well as any children subsequently born to or adopted by me.

It is my request that my executor shall make arrangements for my funeral services to be held and conducted at Godric's Hollow.

All costs and expenses associated with my burial requests shall be paid from the proceeds of my estate.

To Nymphadora Lupin, I give both our son and Harry. Watch over them both and protect them the way I could not. I give all of my possessions not mentioned in my will to you. I am sorry I could not love you like you deserved.

To Andromeda Tonks, I give you your grandson and Harry. Please guide them both, I have failed on so many levels.

To Harry James Potter, my Precious cub, I give you your godson. I have failed you constantly. You have seen the weakest parts of me and none of my strengths. I am sorry you were left with the most pathetic Marauder. I am sure your father is tearing me a new one. Protect my flesh and blood. Don't fail him how I have failed you. I have died with so many regrets. I am sorry.

To Theodore Remus Lupin, I give you a home. May you find happiness where I have failed to do so. I give you life, life away from war and away from this blasted realm. In the event your mother is dead, you receive everything. It will be in a trust that Harry will control until you are of age. Listen to Prongslet, my little moon." Remus's voice wavered before he disappeared.

"The forgoing instrument was signed, sealed, published and declared by the goblin nation, the above named Remus John Lupin to be such Remuss last will and testament in our presence, all being at the same time, and we, at such Remus' request and in such Steelfang's presence and in the presence of each other, have subscribed our names as witnesses on the aforementioned date above," Steelfang read off as his duty.

Nymphadora Lupin

Andromeda Tonks

Harry was trying to hold in his tears as he told Steelfang to read the next one.

Steelfang sighed as he started to read off the next one, cutting it open. "Last Will and Testament of Nymphadora Lupin."

"I, Nymphadora Lupin, Daughter of the House of Black of Wizarding Britain, make, publish and declare this as to be my last will and testament, hereby revoking any and all previous wills and codicils made by me.

I appoint Shatterclaw to serve as Executor of my Will.

I, Nymphadora Lupin attest that I am happily married to Remus John Lupin.

I have two children. The names and birthdates of my children are as follows:

Child Name | Birthdate | Living or Deceased

Harry James Potter | July 31, 1980 | Living

Theodore Remus Lupin | April 11, 1998 | Compromised

All references in this will to my child are to the aforementioned children, as well as any children subsequently born to or adopted by me.

It is my request that my executor shall make arrangements for my funeral services to be held and conducted at Godric's Hollow.

All costs and expenses associated with my burial requests shall be paid from the proceeds of my estate.

To Remus John Lupin, I give you our sons, even if one of them is only a couple years younger than I, on the demand that you man the hell up and protect them! I know you loved Sirius and it hurt to see him go, but you were right to protect Harry that night. Continue to do so.

To Theodore Remus Lupin, I give you a mother's love. Your Godfather and father will be there for you where I am not, and if it's just your godfather...He will love you. He might not seem like the type, he has a temper, but a mother knows. He will love you like you are the sun. I am sorry I did not survive the war, my sweetling. Please know your mummy loves you.

To Harry James Potter, I give to you my son. Protect him. Protect him how Sirius and Remus have protected you but try to be a bit better than them, yeah? They weren't the best examples. We love you Harry. If Remus also passes on, please know that we wanted you to be like an older brother to Teddy. I don't want to see you for a long time, understand? You have to live and love Teddy for us. You and my mum are all he has left.

To Andromeda Tonks, I give you Teddy. Love him while Harry sorts out his life. Teach him things I cannot. I love you, Mum. I am sorry I passed on so soon. I'll tell Dad you love and miss him.

To Charlie Weasley, I give you Harry. If your theory is correct, he is your mate. Protect him, Charlie. Protect him and Teddy for us. Get him to Gringotts and get him tested as soon as possible. He deserves all the love he can get. He's been through too much for one soul," Dora's voice spoke, and slowly it and the image of her disappeared.

"The forgoing instrument was signed, sealed, published and declared by the goblin nation, the above named Nymphadora Lupin to be such Nymphadora's last will and testament in our presence, all being at the same time, and we, at such Nymphadora's request and in such Shatterclaw's presence and in the presence of each other, have subscribed our names as witnesses on the aforementioned date above," Steelfang finished out loud.

Remus John Lupin

Andromeda Tonks

Harry took a shaky breath as he tried to keep himself together. One more, then he could leave and break down. "Next one, please," Harry whimpered out.

Steelfang looked at Harry for a moment before sighing. "Last Will and Testament of Andromeda Tonks," he called as he opened the parchment. The wisp that came out looked how she looked a couple of days before she died. She must have updated her will.

"I, Andromeda Tonks, Daughter of the House of Black of Wizarding Britain, make, publish and declare this as to be my last will and testament, hereby revoking any and all previous wills and codicils made by me.

I appoint Shatterclaw to serve as Executor of my Will.

I, Andromeda Tonks, attest that I am a widow.

I will make this short. Harry, everyone I planned on giving things to is dead. I give everything to you. If my grandson survives, please adopt him into your family, but everything goes to you. Get a test done. Get cleansed. Get the hell out of Wizarding Britain. Go be happy, mourn if you want. If Teddy doesn't survive then that is for the best. He will be with my daughter and his father. Live your life, Harry, you did what they wanted, now they can bugger off." Andromeda's voice and wisp disappeared

"The forgoing instrument was signed, sealed, published and declared by the Goblin nation, the above named Andromeda Tonks to be such Andromeda's last will and testament in our presence, all being at the same time, and we, at such Andromeda's request and in such Shatterclaw's presence and in the presence of each other, have subscribed our names as witnesses on the aforementioned date above," Steelfang read out as the wisp turned into names.

Molly Weasley

Arthur Weasley

Harry clung to Charlie as he tried to control himself. It had basically circled back around to him plus interest. Feeling his body shake, he heard a whine. It took him a moment but he had realised that it had come from him. Within seconds of realising that, he had broken down, crying loudly as he clung to Charlie. 

"Oh, little one." Harry barely realized that Jade was the one to say that.

"I should take him back to The Burrow," Charlie said as he lifted Harry up.

"Don't leave him alone, he needs you right now. I'll go back and warn the Tarragons that a special case will be coming in tomorrow. I'll also go and show this to King Deathstalker. Take care of our heir prince," Jade said seriously.

Charlie nodded his head and held Harry close. "I'll help him process tonight," Charlie said seriously before both Jade and Seaflare left. Charlie sighed before looking at the goblin. "Can I use the waypoint here?" he asked softly.

"Go ahead. Will you be coming in tomorrow morning for the rings?" the goblin asked.

"Yes, I am sorry to inconvenience you, Steelfang," Charlie said with a bow of his head.

"’Tis nothing, now that we know of the injustices," Steelfang growled out.

"May your gold overflow," Charlie said calmly.

"And your enemies burn by your flames," Steelfang growled excitedly.

Charlie walked out of the room and made his way deeper into the bank. Turning, he made his way to what looked like a warping pad of some sort. He turned and moved towards one of the smaller ones and got on. "The Burrow." Light wrapped around them and they disappeared with a soft flash.

It was within moments that they appeared at The Burrow, a little ways in the orchard. Making his way back up to the house, he saw his mother and father standing at the back door. He could tell by how his mother was standing that she was worried. Looking at Harry in his arms, his eyes softened. He couldn't help but admit that he was worried, too. He kept walking towards the house, holding Harry who had fallen asleep. "Hey, Mum," Charlie whispered softly.

"Charlie, what's wrong with him?!" his mother demanded softly.

"We found out a lot, Mum. Let me get Harry comfortable in the house first and then I'll explain, I promise," Charlie said softly.

"Yes, go get him comfortable, tour mum will go make tea, I'll get some blankets for Harry," Arthur said calmly.

"Get ones that smell like me, Pa, he's gonna need my scent," Charlie said as his father went into the house.

"Charlie, how bad is it?" Molly asked worriedly.

Charlie looked down at Harry and he took a deep breath. "Harry has royal family, Dumbledore potioned him to be a puppet, and we sat through six wills. He...He's my mate, Mum...He's gonna need a lot of love right now I...I can't leave him right now. Advisors are coming at noon so we can figure everything out and get Harry to his relatives. Harry and I have to go to the bank and get his lordship rings." Desperation crept into Charlie's voice.

"Oh, Fireheart," Molly cooed. She could practically tell her son was close to tears. Charlie was always the more emotional child of hers. "Go get settled in the living room. Cuddle up to him and get comfortable. I'll send out a message and let everyone know it's all hands on deck for your mate. He's one of us now and we take care of our own," she said firmly.

Charlie nodded his head, and after adjusting Harry, he went inside to the living room. Once Charlie was inside, Molly summoned her patronus. "Go to my children. 'Get home now, war wards will be up in forty. One of ours needs us' Now go." Once the patronus took off, she made her way into her kitchen to prepare tea and snacks.

Charlie adjusted Harry so he was basically in the comfies corner. Once Arthur came down with the blankets, Charlie wrapped him up and made sure Harry was comfortable. Seeing Harry completely relax, Charlie sighed, his wings drooping. Next thing he knew, he heard nine pops. Tensing and standing up, his wings flared out as his eyes narrowed. "Calm down, son, your mum called in your siblings," Arthur said calmly.

The first to come in were Bill and Fleur. "Dad! Charlie, what's going on, Mum's said she was raising war wards. Did things go south at the bank after I left?" Bill asked in a panicked tone.

"Sit down, calm down, Charlie will explain," Arthur told Bill. "Honestly, there is no need for the war wards but I don't blame her for trying to isolate our family right now," Arthur said as he glanced at Harry who was still sleeping, thanks to Charlie's scented blankets. Then he realised how loud his children could be. Turning back to Bill, who had gotten Fleur situated, "Go warn your siblings to keep it down," Arthur said as he motioned to the door.

Bill nodded and hurried out the door. Fleur looked at Harry and then Charlie. "Charlie, would you mind?" she asked with her accent as she pointed toward Harry.

"It might not be a good idea right now, Fleur, not while he is sleeping," Charlie managed out.

"I understand," Fleur said with a nod.

Once everyone was in the living room sitting down and Molly had given everyone a cup of tea and locked down the wards, everyone looked at Charlie. "Fireheart, tell us what's happening. In detail, please," Molly prompted.

Charlie took a deep breath. "We went to Gringotts because they are better at taking off blocks. There, we did an in-depth inheritance test. The one that tests everything,"Charlie said calmly. "The first page revealed nothing that we didn't know, except for the potential for more familiars. Though, since Harry's core is so big, we could have easily assumed that," Charlie said as he started to walk back and forth agitatedly. "The second page revealed a bit more, not that I think Harry actually noticed. Seven lordships and one heirship. He is 16th in line for the British royal throne and 2nd in line for the draken throne," Charlie huffed out softly. "The third page... was his vaults. Bill saw them... He's got a lot... but at the same time, all of them if not all have been tampered with because of Dumbledore and Voldemort. The fourth page included his properties which all need to be cleansed and looked through so none of them are actually livable. Oh, not to mention he actually owns Hogwarts." Charlie rolled his eyes at that. "Next showed the business deals that his family had created over the years... Don't think I didn't notice your shop, you devils," Charlie said, giving Fred and George a pointed look.

"Oi, it was his idea," George protested.

"We just accepted it," Fred reassured.

"Anyway. After that was the medical checkup..." Charlie sighed. "He has a lot of healing to do...not just mentally," Charlie said in an almost broken tone. "But we were right. His creature was blocked. Along with his magical core, his parselmouth abilities, his natural healing, his ability to do wandless magic, and his family mind connections," Charlie explained.

"Who, who dare hurt Harry this way?!" Fleur hissed out, her accent heavy.

"Albus Dumbledore," Charlie answered. "He also has a broken familiar bond due to Hedwig's death... and he is also a carrier," Charlie explained.

"Oh, Harry," Ginny said softly as she covered her face.

"He gets his draken from three of his family lines. Gryffindor, Peverell, and Potter. It's also confirmed that he's a royal six times over. That's not including Sirius's demonic seat," Charlie huffed out. "The only royalty he actually falls in line for is the draken line... and that's only because he is Heir Prince," Charlie said calmly with a soft sigh.

"So what's going on now? Why is Harry like that?" Hermione asked. She was being relatively tame but then again, she had already grilled each and every Weasley about their creature side.

"Well, Hermione, the thing is, not only was Harry not expecting to be royalty, but he wasn't expecting his parents’ wills to be ignored...nor Sirius's...Nor have it take this long for Remus, Dora or Andy's wills to be read," Charlie said calmly.

"Wait, don't tell me he listened to all of them in one go," Molly said softly.

"That's exactly what he did. It was a run-around, but basically, he got everything. Well, everything but what was given to Frank and Alice, which will probably be given to Neville instead," Charlie explained.

"So you're telling me, this whole time, Harry was healed, given several shocks of his life, and then crushed completely," Ron said calmly. Calmly meaning that Ron was probably about to blow his temper.

"Charlie?" Charlie whipped around to see Harry up.

"Harry, how are you feeling?" Charlie crooned.

"It hurts...not as bad...but still hurts," Harry whined.

"I know, DragonHeart," Charlie rumbled. "Did you wanna tell Mum the good news?" Charlie prompted.

Harry stared at him for a moment, trying to think of any good news that he could possibly share. Then it hit him. "Charlie is my mate," Harry cooed out in a soft, happy tone.

"Oh, Harry!" Molly exclaimed as she put her tea down. "Welcome to the family," she said happily as she kissed his forehead.

"Charlie, we forgot the rings," Harry said as he looked at his mate.

"I made an appointment for tomorrow morning. It wasn't worth continuing the meeting with you so distressed like that," Charlie admitted.

"W-What else do we have to do," Harry asked weakly.

"Everyone else can help with what we have to do," Charlie said calmly.

"What do you need help with?" the twins asked together.

"Harry and I need to pack up, we are heading to the draken realm. Harry was told repeatedly to get out of the Wizarding world," Charlie explained.

"We can do that for Harrykins," George said with a nod.

"Everything?" Fred prompted.

"Everything," Charlie confirmed.

"What about Teddy?" Hermione asked hesitantly.

"The draken version of healers are coming to collect him tomorrow with us," Charlie explained.

"What else, dearies?" Molly asked seriously.

"Harry needs to start eating right, do you think you could make us breakfast, some snacks, and lunch before we leave?" Charlie asked his mum.

"Of course!" Molly said quickly.

"Fleur, do you think you, Hermione, Luna, and Ginny could pick out something nice for Harry to wear tomorrow, he's meeting his last living relative," Charlie asked looking at the four females.

"Of course," Ginny quickly said.

"Harry, anything you want to add?" Charlie asked, looking at his submissive mate.

"Will we see them again?" Harry asked softly.

"They can come to visit us," Charlie said with a nod.

"Maybe whoever isn't busy...could distract me a bit?" Harry said nervously before he yawned. Once he managed to close his mouth, he frowned. He had just woken up from a nap, he shouldn't be tired.

"Alright, now that we have a plan, let's go to bed. Would you like to sleep with me?" Charlie asked, looking at Harry.

Harry looked at Charlie and then Hermione and Ron, who had basically snuggled up to each other. On one hand, it was Charlie, his mate. On the other hand, it was his best friends Hermione and Ron...who were practically married at this point... Charlie, it was. Feeling a bit childish, he raised his arms up, wanting to be carried. "You," Harry said softly.

Charlie couldn't help but smile softly as he looked at his mate. Picking Harry up easily, he adjusted his hold. "I'm sorry about this guys, Harry and I are going to head to bed now."

"Night, you two," Molly said calmly as she gathered the dirty teacups.

"Mum, me and Luna have this," Ginny said as she took the cups from her mum.

"Thank you, dearies," Molly said with a soft smile.

Charlie walked up the stairs, carrying Harry. "Charlie?"

Charlie looked at Harry with a raised eyebrow. "Yes, Harry?"

"I'm worried about tomorrow... My cousin...Teddy... This royalty business." Harry cuddled into Charlie as they stopped in front of a door.

"I'll protect you, Harry, you are my dragon heart," he rumbled as he carefully reached and opened the door.

"That’s the second time you’ve called me that... what does it mean?" Harry asked curiously.

"Draken mate for life. Once they find their mate, they could die without them. Draken call their mates Dragon Heart because that is what they are. Without their mates, they have no reason to live." Charlie walked in and put Harry in a giant bed that almost looked like a nest. "I was put on this realm for you, Harry. You are the reason I live. I want nothing but to make you happy. You are hurt, you have been betrayed and you have lost people and loved ones. Let me take over for a while. Let me deal with things while you mourn," he said as he took off his boots and his shirt. He crawled into the nest and he pulled Harry close. "Let it all out, my dragon heart," Charlie prompted.

Harry had felt the tears welling up as Charlie had explained everything but when the male insisted he let his emotions out, he couldn't help but have another round of crying. He latched onto Charlie and sobbed as Charlie rubbed his back and fixed his wing adjustment, getting Harry into a more comfortable position. Harry cried, and cried, and cried. He cried about the loss of his parents. He cried for the loss of his godfather. He cried about the loss of his pseudo uncle and aunt. He cried for the loss of Andy. He cried because his godson was stuck in the hospital. He cried because of the betrayals. Then he cried about the loss of a normal, peaceful life. When he was done, he was panting tiredly as he clung to Charlie.

Once Charlie was sure that Harry was done, he spoke. "Feel a little better?" he asked softly.

"A little," Harry muttered, still clinging to Charlie.

"Maybe we could get King Deathstalker's help in tracking down your family lines to see if you have more family than just him?" Charlie suggested.

"We can do that?" Harry asked weakly, looking up at Charlie.

"Of course, we can," Charlie said with a soft smile. Charlie wrapped his wings around Harry and rumbled softly. "I'll try and get anything you want done," Charlie promised. "Tell me what you want, Harry, give me orders to find what you need," Charlie softly prompted.

"Family, Teddy, a home," Harry whimpered softly as he clung to Charlie. "I wanna teach... I don't want to fight anymore," Harry managed out as he felt himself slowly falling back to sleep. "Can we..." Harry yawned softly. "Can we do that, Charlie?" Harry muttered.

"Of course we can, Harry," Charlie said as he watched the submissive slowly fall asleep in his arms. He knew Harry would get spoiled if he and the King of Deathstalkers had anything to say about it.

In another realm, Jade strolled with purpose to the giant marble building. She made her way past guards with their wings out and workers who were in a rush. Knocking twice, she was told by six voices to come in. She opened the door and she sealed it before walking to the centre. "Sea Serpent Jade, you are back. What is your report?" a draken with black scales with an eerie glow asked.?

She stood at attention and placed her hands behind her back with the scroll. "My Deadly King. It was as the reports said. There is a prince that has just presented," Jade said formally.

"What clan did they present?" a draken with white scales and an airy tone in her voice asked.

"Deathstalker, Noble Windstriker," Jade said as she bowed her head.

"Deathstalker!" the Windstriker Queen said happily. "Oh, Azriel! You have family!" she said happily.

"The test," Azriel demanded.

"Yes, My Deadly King," Jade said as she stepped forward and bowed, offering the scroll.

Azriel looked over the tests and while his face remained blank, his magic was clearly angry. "Flarestorms, it looks like your nephew has found my cousin. Jade, what does my kin need?" Azriel demanded.

"He needs help with his godson. He is compromised due to being attacked and the lower Wizards cannot help the poor boy. I..." she quickly closed her mouth, knowing she could not input opinions here.

"Speak your tongue," Azriel growled out demandingly.

"I was there when your kin listened to six wills. All of them one way or another urged him to take his godson, blood adopt him, and leave the lesser wizards. Our reports from the draken there tell of a battle happening a while ago with your kin at the centre of it. He is broken and fragile, My Deadly King. He was unaware he had any kin left," Jade hesitantly spoke.

"Azriel, your kin is just as hurt as you are. What do you need of me? What do you need of our alliance? If our kin is involved, so are we," a set of twins asked.

Azriel sat there for a moment as he thought. "Snow, I need your kin."

"They are at your command," the ice draken instantly responded.

"I need your best terragons," Azriel said as he looked at the King of Frostine.

"I shall send my submissive with her students," Snow responded.

Azriel nodded before looking at the twins. "Do you think you two could send out some hydras to collect my kin and protect the terragons?"

The twins smiled, showing their fangs. "We'll send our sons," they growled.

Azriel sat there in thought. "Ariel."

The airy draken looked up. "Yes, Azriel?"

"My kin needs-" He was cut off by the air draken.

"An advisor? Or does he need a mentor?" she prompted.

"Both, to be honest," Azriel grumbled.

"Start him off with a mentor right now. Your kingdom is in ruins because of someone's selfish actions." The Draken next to Azriel winced. "So you will be busy. Jade, when will they be arriving?" Ariel asked curiously.

"Tomorrow afternoon, but I am sure they will want to get settled," Jade said as she kept her head bowed.

"Flarestorms?" Azriel looked at the twins.

"They can stay with us, we are a bit more stable than you are right now, Azriel. Besides, I am sure our nephew will feel a bit more at ease," one of them said.

"We will also explain exactly what is happening to your poor kin, not to mention we are close enough to the Frostine's that they can just warp over without having to go through too many to be an actual hassle to see his godson," the other said calmly.

Azriel was silent for a moment. "Azriel." The draken looked up to see the other kings and queens looking at him.

"We have this," the Queen of River said calmly.

"Jade, is there anything else you can tell us?" Azriel prompted.

Jade was silent for a moment before speaking "He relies heavily on his dominant mate. I get the feeling that it was him who figured out that his inheritance was blocked."

"It was blocked!" the Flarestorms growled out. Azriel knew, he had read the tests after all.

"He is timid and has expressed that he only wishes to teach. I believe he does not like the limelight, sir. He is humble. He has been betrayed. He is polite to creatures that do not show him respect. He seems to have gained the respect of the goblins, albeit in their own twisted way." Jade paused for another moment. "When he learned of you, My Deadly King, he was concerned. I believe he was under the impression you were his age or younger, but as I told him your age, he seemed almost relieved. It gave me the impression that despite his submissive status, he would have taken up the role of Deathstalker King to give you time. He knows nothing of the different realms which tells me he was not properly taught about anything but magic. His-" Jade sighed at this, "-his parents clearly died when he was young since he does not know of this information. But he is also related to the Gryffindor Line so he should have known more, since even the lesser wizards idolize that line," Jade cautiously said.

"The what?!" the flarestorm twins said surprised.

"Oh, I thought that line had died out," Ariel said, surprised. "Looks like we are related though kin, Azriel," the Queen of Windstrikers said happily.

"Yes and now I will have kin with the terror twins when my kin has children," Azriel grumbled. "Thank you, Jade, please take the group we have assigned and bring my kin and his godson back home where it is safe."
