The beginning of this chapter is part of the lyrics of "Amazing Grace", which is a pretty good song.

If you are interested, you can listen to it.

Incidentally, this chapter takes place on October 26, 1981, the day Voldemort attacked Harry in Harry Potter history.

=========================================. Queen of the Holy Grail (upright): Mother, sacrifice and dedication. 、

Hogwarts・Forbidden Forest (The.Dark.Forest)

、

“…… The.Lord.has.promised.good，His.word.my.hope.secures……”

Melodious and soft singing echoed above the open woodland overgrown with evening primroses, and the faint fragrance of flowers accompanied by the fragrance of earth and stream water diffused in the air, reflecting the soft silver moon overhead, making the whole glade a little dreamy.

“…… But.God，who.here.below，Will.be.forever.mine……”

Beneath the moonlight, a magical elf with a faint glow on its body was engrossed in singing lyrics with its eyes closed, never tired of it, and not far below the elf, by the edge of the stream with a sparkling moonlight, a unicorn with a beautiful silver mane was crouching there, and beside it, a man in a black background and purple magic robe was sitting in a dignified posture.

Gazing through the lens on the bridge of the nose into the unicorn's gaze, gentle and sad.

[…… Time...... It's coming......]

With a flick of his ears, the slender neck that had been leaning against the man's side was raised, and the unicorn opened its eyes, revealing a pair of eyes like the blood rubies of a fine pigeon, and raised its head to look at the bright moon in the night sky overhead.

The unicorn's voice is not a sound transmitted through the vocal cords, but a clear voice that rings directly in the mind.

"I've known it for a long time, but I still don't understand it."

Shaking his head slightly, the man raised his hand, and the magic elf that was originally singing in the sky flew down, turning into a spinning card and falling into his hand, "Is it worth it?" ”

[I'll wait for the meaning of this.] ]

Closing his eyes, the unicorn stood up, moved its ears again, and then turned to look to the other side, [It seems that the battle situation in Chiro is a little tight.] Kurlo, would you mind helping them out? ]

"You know I'm never going against you."

The man also stood up, and without seeing him move, three more cards appeared in front of him, and after spinning, the magic spirit surrounded by wind, water, and leaves appeared from the card, nodded politely to the man and the unicorn, and rushed into the surrounding forest.

[Thank you for this time.] ]

Walking to the man's side, the unicorn rubbed the man's arm over his neck.

“…… You never have to say thank you to me. ”

The man only smiled bitterly at the unicorn's thanks, "Because if it weren't for you and that one, I wouldn't have been able to reach the heights I am now." It's just that...... I really don't have to ...... the events that follow."

[Everything in this world has its own certainty.] Isn't that all too clear to you? ]

"yes......"

Shaking his head slightly, the man exhaled, "Sometimes, though, it's not a good thing to know too much. ”

[Strength corresponds to responsibility, and in life, there is always something that must be done.] One so moment. ]

The pigeon's blood-red eyes met the man's complicated face at the moment, and the unicorn tilted his head sideways, [Don't forget what you promised me. Kulo. ]

“…… I know. ”

Closing his eyes, the man bent down slightly, and wrapped his arms around the unicorn's neck one last time, "Well, farewell." My ......"

The last word was silently annihilated in the man's mouth.

After gently rubbing the man's cheek, the unicorn turned around and resolutely left.

====================I'm the dividing line ================= the switching scene

The stargazing sanctuary "Naqi Domain" in the territory of the Centaur clan is also a forbidden place of the ancient gods that no Centaur people can never step on except for the prophet.

And at this moment, above the altar in the center of the forbidden land, it was because of the inexplicable power that the space distortion and crack that were visible to the naked eye.

"What's going on? Dear Charon. ”

Stamping back and forth with some unease, Ronan, with his red horse, stared nervously at the altar, the most revered of the centaurs, the most revered elder of the Centaur tribe, who had inherited the name of Charon.

"Don't be nervous, Ronan."

As if receiving some instructions, Charon, who had been frowning, finally exhaled, "I just got the news that the 'Son of Gaia' is about to descend on this altar. ”

“？！”

Standing on the side, Firenze, with the body of a milky white horse, showed a stunned look, "Son of Gaia?!" Why...... It's going to be at this moment?! ”

"Never speculate on the will of the gods."

Charon solemnly admonished, "Fei Lengcui, since you are preparing to develop in the direction of astrology and prophecy in the future, then you must pay attention to this. ”

"I'm sorry. Dear Charon, I have transgressed. ”

Sensing the warning in Charon's words, Fei Lengcui lowered her head, "I won't do it again in the future." ”

"Oh no!"

At this moment, a centaur with a pitch-black body ran over, "Oh no, Charon! ”

"Beneas?! How to rush ......"

Raising his hand to stop the impatient running, Charon's brow was completely locked, "What's going on?" ”

"It's 'that guy'!"

After taking a big breath, Bennas hurriedly said, "It's 'that person' who sent his men to attack, although someone has been sent to inform Dumbledore, but the situation is really not good now." ”

"Why would 'that person' want to attack here?"

Ronan on the side was more impulsive at the moment, "Didn't you say that that person's current focus is on that savior?" ”

"Don't jump to conclusions about anything, because you can never become your enemy."

Kicking Ronan directly, Charon took a deep breath and said, "Fei Leng Cui, Bennas, notify all the clansmen to enter the altar space, and I will activate the altar's defense." ”

"But Lord Charon, ...... like that."

Fei Lengcui obviously did not agree with Charon's decision, and hurriedly opened her mouth as if she wanted to say something, but was interrupted by Charon raising her hand.

"There aren't many people in the clan anymore, and now I can only hope that Dumbledore can send someone to support as soon as possible."

Charon's expression was calm at the moment, "The centaur clan can't afford to sacrifice anymore...... By the way, what about Opal? Where is she? We need to inform her. ”

"Opal is supposed to be in her abode, but ......"

The person who answered him was Fei Lengcui, "The last time we met, she said not to bother her if there was nothing to do. What's more, her abode shouldn't be so easy to find, so I guess it's better not to ......"

"It's not like Opal's usual style......

Charon's brow furrowed, "Did something happen?" ”

"I don't know the specifics. But Opal did say that her final hour was coming. ”

Fei Lengcui's eyes were full of melancholy at the moment, "Some time ago, Opal went out of the Forbidden Forest once, and since he came back, he has been in a weak state. I asked, and she just said that her last mission in this world was coming, and nothing else. ”

"The Last ...... Mission? ”

Charon didn't know what was in mind, and after a moment of silence, he just sighed, "Bennas, you and Emerald go to Opal immediately. I don't know if the information has leaked, but if it's 'that person', it's still ......."

"Yes!" X2

Bennas and Philemeralds nodded and ran away.

At this time, the spatial crack above the altar, which was originally quite stable, quickly twisted and swirled, and finally formed a space-time gate with a unique pattern.

"Here we are."

Charon muttered, and Ronan, who was standing beside him, stared at the portal with a wary expression.

An almost blinding white flash burst out from the door of space, and the brightness caused all the creatures present to subconsciously close their eyes.

When I opened my eyes again, the door of time and space was gone.

Instead, a human red-haired woman appeared on the altar of a baby in her arms, so weak that she could only kneel there.

Mankind? Shouldn't it be the son of Gaia who appears here?!

“…… Unexpectedly...... Ahem, it turned out to be ...... Succeeded......"

The woman with crimson hair the color of wine vomited a mouthful of blood, but she barely managed to support her body and looked around, her beautiful turquoise eyes lit up immediately after seeing the group of Charon.

"Please...... Dear Caron...... Rescue ...... My kids ......"

Child?!

Caron's eyes flashed, and she stepped forward and bent down, and before she could speak, the woman coughed up a mouthful of blood again, struggled to take out an opal bracelet from her arms, and placed it in the baby's swaddling clothes, with a loving smile on her face: "Snape...... The child's last name is...... Snape...... Her name...... It's ......"

The hand that tried to caress the baby's face, like her words, died halfway through.

"She's a great mother."

Gently picking up the still sleeping baby in the woman's arms, Charon said with respect.

"It seems that in order to escape with the baby, she forcibly used the force that her body could not bear......"

After examining the woman's body, Ronan's voice sighed a little, "Mother's love is indeed one of the noblest emotions in the world. ”

"How so!"

And Charon, who was looking down to check the baby's condition, was stunned by his discovery, "This child ...... This kid turned out to be ......"

"What's wrong?"

Ronan couldn't help but lean in, and then exclaimed in the same exclamation, "How is this possible! ”

Not that they were making too much of a fuss, but because on the baby's right forehead, a hideous lightning-shaped scar was oozing a faint streak of blood.

And the baby's life force is slowly but surely passing with the green light that flickers on its body, belonging to "Avada.Kedavra".

[Charon, give me that child.] ]

At this time, a clear and awe-inspiring voice rang out in the minds of all the centaurs present.

Almost immediately, they turned around and saluted the creature that was walking from the other side of the altar.

Under the dappled moonlight, the unicorn with a long silver mane slowly walked in front of Keron, and the red eyes that were very different from ordinary unicorns were watching them calmly.

"Your Highness Opal, how could you ......"

[Don't worry about the group attacking the Forbidden Forest, my friend has already helped with it.] ]

The unicorn's voice was calm and gentle, and then he looked at the baby in Charon's hand, [This child is my last mission.] ]

Fifty-five years was so long that she almost thought she wouldn't survive this moment.

"But...... This baby is dying......"

Caron seemed to think of something, and immediately shook his head and took a few steps back, "No! Even though the baby may be the son of Gaia, but ...... You're clearly ......"

The lineage of the Sons of Gaia has been severed for nearly five hundred years, and more important than that legend is obviously the unicorn that gets along with the centaur clan day and night.

[The Twins of Destiny, who depend on light and shadow, with the devotion of the benevolent beast of the wind, the mercy of the holy beast of fire, with the connection of miracle lightning, and the green jade and pigeonstone as the guide, let the shadow that covers the world recede.] ]

"It's ...... Prophecy? ”

Lost at Opal's words, Charon eventually placed the baby in his arms on the ground under the gaze of those red eyes.

[For this, I am willing.] ]

As he spoke, Opal slowly bent his limbs to his knees, and stabbed the horn of sound from his head into the heart of the infant in front of him, which was constantly flowing with vitality.

The sharp horns of the spiral made of fine silverware disappeared into the baby's body like melting ice, and a point of light like a twinkling star gradually shone over the baby and the unicorn in front of him.

[Charon, take care of this child.] She was...... Hope......]

With this intermittent voice, the figure of the unicorn disappeared completely.

After a long silence, after closing his eyes, Karon turned to face his companion behind him, and carefully picked up the baby who was still sleeping: "Opal...... From now on, the child's name was Opal Unicorn Snape. Our...... Son of Gaia! ”

Opal, our friend, if that's what you expect......
