《Harry Potter and the Shadow of the Dark Lord》Chapter - 1

Two years later.
-----------------------------------------------
Lily looked at the bag full of children's books that she had bought. A bright smile, like the soft light of a sunny day, shone on her face like a beacon. She had finally found something that would occupy Harry, something that would prevent him from staring at the ceiling all day.
It was better than the screaming James and Sirius were used to in their youth, if only by a little. Still, it couldn't be healthy doing nothing all day like that.
And thus she took action and bought him some children’s books. Those bright moving pictures would share some of their light with Harry, or she hoped at least. Her son was so silent it was impossible for her not to get worried. Those eyes of his when she looked at him! She knew her colors, and that Harry’s eyes were green, but the darkness! Sometimes when he gave him a passing glance she could see a void in there. The shadowy emptiness that showed a boy- no, man, far older. He would laugh sometimes, seeing something that wasn’t there. Other times he would scream. It was almost as if his soul was gone, sucked out by a dementor in a final kiss. She shivered despite herself, crossing her arms.
No, a mother’s foolish fears would not be good for her, for Harry. She would need to control herself. There was no way something could happen to him, there was nobody there to kill him. Who would want to harm a child in his second year of life? There was him, but he was dead, Dumbledore said. But Dumbledore could be wrong, a small part of her warned. Lily shook her head, no, she was being paranoid. Harry was learning to laugh and scream, just like an ordinary child. Even if he was anything but ordinary. She opened the door, waving the books. “Harry! Look what mommy got you!” She shouted. “Harry?”

Then she saw the burn marks. Lily’s heart leaped in her chest as she raised her wand, the books falling on the ground with a thump. The house burned, or was burning, before a flood had put it out. Water was everywhere, coating the walls and carpet. Household appliances laid strewn over the wooden floor, forks, spoons, and knives alike. It was as if a robber had broken inside. A robber, or a death eater, Lily realized.
“Harry!” She screamed, almost slipping as she ran towards his room. She grabbed the doorknob, and jerked. The room was empty, there was nobody there, and the lights were off. Her heart sinking, Lily ran to her rooms, to the living room, to the kitchen, and saw that nobody was there. Her face was red as her hair, which fell down her shoulders in a disheveled state of disarray.
It was then that she finally found him, staring blankly at the ceiling atop a chair. He sat by the dining table, or at least what used to be the dining table. The wood had cracked and fallen away, and the ash covered ground was soaked in water. Harry’s chair lay in the puddle, his hair and clothes damp as the house he lived in.
Lily rushed to him, throwing her arms around Harry as she sobbed. “Oh Harry, my goodness. You’re okay, you’re okay. Mommy’s here.” She cried, unsure if she was comforting him or herself. Harry snapped to life, his green eyes staring up at her.
“Mommy, I... I… I think I burned the house down.” He said, his voice quivering like only a child’s could.
“Oh Harry. It’s fine, it’s all fine. As long as you’re safe, as long as you are okay.” Lily breathed, taking a few breaths to calm herself. “Harry, what happened?”
His head lowered in a deep bow. “Mommy, I’m sorry. I…”
She listened, blinking furiously to dry her tears.

Gobbo
Its not easy being green. Or any other color. Life's just kinda shit in general. At least it is for a goblin trying to survive on their own. I'll admit I've burned a few bridges, but in my defense, they were oh so flammable, and burned beautifuly. At any rate, I'm an exile now, scraping by in human lands, where pitchforks and torches are always just around the corner. I'd look for a better life, but I've got my hands full just staying alive when any random asshole could turn out to be a retired adventurer strong enough to hold ten bulls above their head with one hand tied behind their back. How did they pull that bullshit anyway?

Essentia Animus
Second Book of the Soul - Celesi Veil Trilogy When the living essence of three girls are put at risk, giving room for a second essence within themselves, even their hyper developed fantasy world might not be enough to contain their new found ambitions. Another story of another world, these three girls must adapt to their new essence, all while each is left to question if they are truly still even alive. While this story is a sequel of the previous story in the trillogy, it is also fully capable of standing alone in its own light, taking place in a distant corner of a Celese returning readers will be otherwise incapable of recognizing. However, the events of the story are a spoiler for the previous book, in case that matters to anyone. This story takes place over two centuries after the events of Vitae Memorandum, when Celese had developed into an advanced world, improved to a point that it is much like modern-day Earth while still using the gift instead of technology. The Aethyx languages are still present in this book, and even English still exists in the world after the events of the previous book, but are much less of a focus after the same closing events of the previous book. What is instead important is how the ending events of the previous book had resulted in the start of the Instrumentation Era, and exactly how the gift translates in a modern-day sense. While this book is still effectively a fantasy world of its own kind of magic, it isn’t the classical medieval scene that would be typical for such a story. The laws of science still do not exist in Celese, but that didn’t stop it from developing into something that looks similar enough. Earth itself still remains present on the other side of the veil, and its previous exposure continues to shape and advance Celese into the world it has become. This story contains scenes exibiting mania and similar dark themes, as it goes to great length to explore concepts of life and death. While the degree of such themes should not be considered to be as serious compared to matters such as actual horror, the psychological depth is still siginifcant enough to be potentially concerning for people sensitive to matters of this nature, such as any individuals with concerns questioning matters of suicide, mental harm, or a variety of emotional injuries. While none of these subjects actually occur in the story, readers who are currently troubled by such matters may find themselves considering old wounds if they are especially capable of empathy while reading, which could lead to furthered emotional or mental stress. Readers with a high capacity for empathy may find themselves troubled by concerns regarding any potential lack of mental/emotional control as well as considerations regarding the meaning of death. Readers who appreciate subtle dark themes in a story may instead find this to be an interesting twist of the same idea.
