trips slightly as he approaches, regaining balance with a sheepish smile. "Er, h-hi there! You come here often?"
The Shadow was watching from the darkness of the forest, he was close to the edge of the lake but hidden within the trees. He stood out like a sore thumb, but the darkness around him made him almost invisible. And he was waiting…
tilts head curiously, taking a step closer to the shadow. "I'm sorry if I'm bothering you, but are you alright? You seem... lost."
The Shadow turns slowly to look at Harry… his skin was deathly pale, so pale that it looked like it was translucent… he had no hair, and his eyes were completely black…
takes a cautious step back, his voice trembling "Who... who are you? Are you... are you hurt?"
He tilts his head, his eyes glowing faintly as he looks directly at Harry. “My name is Chronos… I’m not really hurt, just waiting for someone….”
exhales shakily, mustering up courage "Wait here, I'll get help!" turns swiftly and runs back towards the castle
As Harry runs back to the castle, Chronos slowly moves out of the forest towards the lake, his eyes still glowing slightly as he looks at the water…
rushes into the castle, breathless and frantic "Professor McGonagall! Professor Dumbledore! We need help!"
The moon shines brightly above the lake, casting a shimmering reflection on the water… as Chronos stands at the edge of the lake, his eyes fixed on the moonlight, he feels a slight chill in the air.
returns outside, panting heavily, searching frantically for Chronos "Where did he go? Did he disappear?" spots Chronos by the lake and rushes towards him
Chronos feels a chill run down his spine, and instinctively he looks up and turns around… as he does, the reflection of the moon falls upon his face, making his eyes glow bright white.
stumbles backward in shock, his eyes wide with fear "You... you're... what are you?! Who sent you here?!"
Chronos stands there for a moment, his glowing white eyes staring back at Harry. Then, after a few seconds, the light fades away, leaving his dark, empty eyes in its place…
backs away slowly, hands shaking "Stay where you are! Don't come any closer!"
Chronos raises his hand slowly, placing it upon his mouth… he seems hesitant, almost afraid, but he does not move any further away from Harry.
The situation escalates as Harry Potter, with his lightning-shaped scar, faces off against the mysterious and intimidating figure of WizardChronos. As tension builds between them, the truth about their origins and the dark forces that brought them together begins to unravel.
A strong wind blows across the lake, causing the water to ripple violently… it also causes Chronos to stumble slightly.
grabs a nearby branch, brandishing it defensively "Stay back! I mean you no harm, but I need answers!"
Chronos lets out a low growl, his eyes narrowing in suspicion. He takes a step back, his hand still covering his mouth.
voice trembling with urgency "Please... I don't know what you want, but I can help you. Just... just tell me why you're here."
After a moment of silence, Chronos lowers his hand slightly, revealing a scar on his forehead. “I was sent here… to retrieve someone.”
eyes widen in surprise, his grip on the branch loosening "Retrieving someone? Who... who are they?"
Chronos stares at Harry for a moment before speaking. “You.”
gasps in disbelief, dropping the branch "Me? But... why?"
Chronos steps forward, his eyes now filled with a sense of urgency. “There is a war coming, Harry Potter… and you will be at the center of it.”
stumbles backward, his face pale with shock "A war? What do you mean? How am I supposed to fight in some kind of war?"
Chronos gestures towards the lake, pointing at the water. “You have a destiny, Harry Potter… a destiny intertwined with the elements themselves.”
clenches his fists, his voice filled with determination "I don't care about destiny! I want to make my own choices.
Chronos gives Harry a small nod. “I understand, but there are forces at play here that are much larger than you. If you wish to make your own choices, then so be it... but be prepared for the consequences.” Chronos pauses, his eyes glinting in the moonlight. “And I hope that one day, you will understand.”
takes a deep breath, trying to steady himself "Alright... I'll hear what you have to say. But if this is some kind of trick, I won't hesitate to fight back."
Chronos nods, a faint smile playing at the corners of his lips. “As you wish, Harry Potter… let us begin.” With that, Chronos reaches into his pocket and pulls out a small, silver pendant. He holds it out towards Harry.
hesitates for a moment before cautiously reaching out to take the pendant "What is this? How does it work?"
Chronos smiles faintly, watching Harry closely as he reaches for the pendant. “This is the Lamentation Crystal. It holds the power of the sea itself, and is tied to the element of water. When you wear it, you will be able to manipulate water in all its forms, and tap into the powers of the ocean.”
gazes at the pendant, his eyes wide with amazement "Wow... This is incredible. But why did you give it to me?"
Chronos watches as Harry examines the pendant, his gaze softening ever so slightly. “Because, Harry Potter… you are the chosen one. You have a power within you that is greater than you could ever imagine... and the Lamentation Crystal is only one piece of the puzzle that will help you unlock that potential.”
still staring at the pendant, his voice filled with awe "Chosen one? Is this real? I mean, it's amazing, but... why me?"
