Birthday gifts

After the banquet he must chose a familar for himself. The Le Fay family was very ancient and had a temple full of eggs from magical creatures. When one turns 6 years old one needed to chose an egg which will later hatch and became his familar. The eggs can contain anything, from an ordinary owl to a phoenix or an ancient magic beast. His mother Morgana had a Nundu as her familar, a very dangerous creature that looks like a grey puma with spikes as fur.

He came to the temple with his mother and his sword instructor Balur.

For him Balur was like a father figure althrough harsh with his words he had a kind heart.

"Unfortunately you need to enter alone to choose your familar Orion. Remember to choose wisely and carefully. Good luck dear"

"Don't worry my familar will be a very powerful beast" Orion stated with false arrogance and entered the temple.

Inside were thousands of eggs with various shapes and sizes. From what looked to be a normal bird egg to an egg that looks like a horned sea shell. He began to concentrate and feel the flow of his magic. His mother told him, that you will emediately establish a connection with your familar when you step into the temple. And sure enough, his magic was tugged in a certain direction. He followed this call until he stood in front of a pitch black small egg. He streched out his hand and touched the egg. The moment he touched the egg, it started to hatch. Cracks began to form on the surface of the egg and a small black snake emerges.

The snake streched her head against his plam and touched his hand. The moment he touched the snake directly a contract was made.

~ from now on, your name will be Nyx after the godess of darkness~

~I like it very much, from now on my name will be Nyx~ agreed the little snake and nodded her small black snake head.

It looked rather cute. ~my name is Orion Le Fay nice to meet you little one~ he spoke to her in parseltongue.

~nice to meet you to my master, can you take me outside? It was really boring here waiting centuries just for you~

~sure thing~ he said and streched out his hand to tuch the snake.

The snake then disappears and turned into a snake tatoo on his left arm.

The tatoo looked incredibly detailed and lifelike.

[Familar aquired: Ancient Shadow Snake ( Nyx )]

[Aquired Abilities: max. Shadow affinity, poison resistance]

He exitedly ran out of the temple and proudly showed his tatoo to his mum.

"Mom look...my familar can turn into a tatoo how cool is that? I got an Ancient Shadow Snake as a familar do you know it?"

Morgana smiled and told him everything she knew about the beast.

"Ancient Shadow Snakes are said to be long extinct. They have very powerful poison and unparalelled illusion and concealment abilities. You got quite lucky"

"Damn right you rascal you should be the servant of your pet not the other way around. You didn't even awaken your aura yet I am going to double your training" shouted Balur jealously, his aura teacher from the side.

Imediately Orins face got pale.

"No you can't do that!!! I'll die for sure!!!"

"Hmpf, then you better hurry up and awaken your damn aura!"

"Okay don't fight, I haven't even given you my present yet" Morgana interuppted the two and gave Orion a small package.

Orion curiously opened the package. Inside it, there where two rings one is the Le Fay family ring with a dragon in the middle of a red saphire. The ring itself is a mysterious black metal with silver lines on it that moves like water. The other ring is a plain metal ring with countless small runes engraved on it.

"Drop your blood on them to claim the rings. That is to ensure,that they don't get stolen. I don't want some stranger claim to be my son" informed him Morgana.

He pricked his finger with a needle and let a drop of blood fall on each ring.

The blood got absorbed and the rings appeared on his hands.

"The red ring is the hier ring of our noble Le Fay family. It is a means to identify yourself if you would ever go to Gringotts to get some money. The silver ring with the runes is a space ring where you can really store anything as long as it doesn't live. It has enough room for a whole castle so don't worry" his mother further explained.

"Thank you" Orion said. He wanted such a rare ring for a long time to store his countless books and enchanted items he borrowed ( stole ) from the knights armory.

'Gringotts?,house elves?... mabye I am in the world of Harry Potter, just a lot earlier' Orion pondered.

Then Balur handed him a sword.

" this is my gift...althrough I don't think you deserve it brat, you should first grow up. Be careful with it, this is a special sword from a dwarven forge. It's priceless because these little guys just refuse to hand out their things."

"Wow, where did you get this?" Orion asked his tone full of admiration.

Balur couldn't help but smile a bit "found it in a ruin... on an expedition" he said proudly " now it's yours rascal take good care of it. The sword has the name Ares, after the greek god of war".

"Thank you I will train hard to be worthy of it" said Orion jokingly.

"You better do that" said Balur completely serious.

With that the three slowly walked inside the castle and go sleep. Today was a tourbulent day.

He threw himself on the bed and fell asleep imediately.

The next morning his normal daily routine started again.

Aura training in the morning, history and politics in the afternoon and magic training in the evening. Only his magic and politics training got more proficient his aura still wasn't awakened. His magic in contast to his bottleneck in aura, increased day after day. He was able to enchant various items with alchemy, he was labeled as a genius in black magic, much to his mothers joy and he started to learn ritual and black magic from his mother. His potion, spell and transfiguration progress is averange and very pitful compared to his black magic. To his dissapointment did Oclumency and leglimency not exist yet and he couldn't really put his mind arts talent to much use exept his fotographic memory.

Like that 3 years passed. When he was 9 he was finally able to awaken his aura. His aura was like a shadow wraping around his blade that moved like violet black fire on his sword.

- In King Athurs Castle Camelot-

Several men sat on the round table discussing how to deal with Avalon.

"Morgana is too powerful, if we don't deal with her now she will only get stronger, not to mention her so who will also be very powerful when he grows up" one of the men said righterously.

"Not to mention there is a famine plaguing our country and the people suffer while in Avalon they have an abudance of food"

"So you want to start a war with Avalon? We can't just start a war without a reason" King Athur said.

"Well she is very good at black magic right? Just say that she got mad and started to go berserk. In order to stop her we had no choise but to kill her".

"That could work especially with the influence of the church" Merlin said on the side also participating in this evil plan.

"I expected something like this,the war preparations are finished and we can start the war at any time" another man from the side said.

"Alright, declare a holy war against the demon Morgana Le Fay" King Arthur decided, stood up pulled his Sword and shouted:"for the glory of England".
