Chapter 34 - Servants of Chaotic Deities (1/2)

Chris looked at his mother with a confused look.

”Mother do you have a hint of what's going on?” Chris asked.

”No,” Lorraine said. ”From what I know, America should be a relatively safe place right now in terms of the Wizarding World,”

Chris then looked at Hermione and Kristine.

”Have you brought your wands?” Chris asked.

”Of course,” Kristine said as she took out her wand. ”It's our wand. We have to bring it everywhere we go even if we can't use it normally,”

”We brought it just in case something like this happened,” Hermione said. ”Although I don't know how useful we'll be,”

”Right now, how proficient are you two at the Shield Charm?” Chris asked.

”We're both around 75% of what Professor McGonagall accepts,” Hermione said. ”We've been practicing really hard so that we can catch up to you,”

”Good that'll most likely be enough,” Chris said. ”I'm sure that Mother can cover us all. We'll just be there to ȧssist her,”

Hermione and Kristine nodded and everyone put their guards up.

Chris heard explosions and a familiar rushing noise that surprised him.

'Avada Kedavra. The people out there are serious criminals,' As he didn't want anyone in the room to become panicked, Chris stayed silent. However, he noticed that Lorraine's face grew more tense by the second. Soon the door opened.

Lorraine, Chris, Hermione, and Kristine all got ready to attack. Then Martin and Bradley came in with dirty clothing and a bit of blood dripping from their heads.

”What's going on?” Lorraine asked.

”People wearing black hoods attacked the building,” Bradley said as he sat down trying to rest. ”Fortunately, this is a restaurant for wizards and witches and the diners were able to help protect the place. However, the attackers were ready to kill. They didn't hesitate to use the Killing Curse, but luckily no one died. We apprehended all the hooded men for now, but we're going to have to stay a bit longer until we're sure that it's safe to go outside. Martin do you happen to know who those hooded men are?”

Martin looked at Bradley and sighed.

”Well I'll be able to explain who they are alongside how I'm so 'popular'. They call themselves the Servant of the Chaotic Deities and they've been running rampant in America for a while now,” Martin said. ”When I came to America after the First Wizarding War, the Magical Congress was trying to deal with them and I decided to help them since I was going to live here. It was around 2 years ago that I bȧrėly defeated their leader after attacking their base with 30 other people. The remaining Servants went underground and I was deemed a hero by the people,”

”What are their goals?” Bradley asked.

”Well, it's mostly a religious motive. They believe that the Greek Gods and Goddesses that represent all the chaotic aspects of the world are giving them instructions. Their main deity is Nyx, one of the primordial goddesses. She is the goddess of the night and has many children that are gods and goddesses of suffering, fear, and all the bad aspects of human life. Well in the end, all they want to do is destroy and make this world an uncivilized free-for-all battle zone where murder, ****, and pillaging will be the norms,” Martin said.

”That's horrible,” Mrs. Granger said.

”Well it gets even worse from there,” Martin said. ”As for Muggles, these Servants want to imprison them and force them become slaves for labor, breeding, and etc,”

Everyone in the room was horrified by what Martin said.

”This is just as bad as You-Know-Who's attack on Europe,” Lorraine said.

”Luckily, in the cult, there's no one as strong as You-Know-Who. However, unlike You-Know-Who's army that did not have an extremely strong bond, these Servants are all completely dedicated to their faith and are willing to even sacrifice every single life in the cult if needed,” Martin said. ”This dedication to their faith and their ruthlessness is what made them so hard to defeat. I defeated their leader, but judging by how they attacked the restaurant here today, it's very likely that they're back with a new leader,”

Chris suddenly had a horrible realization from the conversation.

”Uncle Allen, is it possible that during the time they were underground, they were trying to spread their influence to other continents?” Chris asked.

Martin's expression changed.

”2 years is not enough to spread their influence everywhere in the world, but it is enough to get back on their feet in America and new followers in Europe. Either way, it's not a good sign,” Martin said.

'If this cult is in Europe, Voldemort will most likely contact them or vice versa. I just have to hope that since their ideals are different, they won't be strong allies,' Chris thought.

As some time passed, everyone in the room started to relax.

”Should we go somewhere else?” Martin asked.

”Alright,” Bradley said. ”Does anyone want to stay here a bit longer just in case?”
