Chapter 7: The Legends

                                    

                                          
As they walk down the right path towards the Abyss Coven, Caleb hears a few male voices. 

"I swear in Merlin's name, they love our presence every time."
"That is because of our names and our skills. Plus our son is quite an eye candy as well."
"Dad, Father..." A sigh was heard. "Without disrespecting you... I only have eyes on Lady Agnes' son." 
"Ah yes. Of course- Calix Harkness is such a good fit for you."

Once their paths crossed both parties came into a stop.

"Warlocks." The blond man said
"Wizards." Caleb answered.
Mikki and Gelo looked at them back and forth. 
"Aren't you guys the same?" Mikki asked Gelo.
"In a sense, yes-" the black haired man answered for Gelo. "But warlocks use wandless magic, while, we- wizards use wands."
Gelo then looked at the robes the wizards were wearing. He gasped, earning the attention of Caleb, along with the wizards. 

"You are the Strongest Wizards in the UK! The Malfoy-Potter Family!" 
"We are those." The blond answered. "Draco. Draco Malfoy-Potter." He offered a handshake to Caleb. 
"Caleb Austin. The Crimson Warlock. It is nice to know that the books in our coven tell the truth." He accepted his handshake.
"We are honored. I am Harry Malfoy-Potter. This is our son. Archer."

"Pleased to meet the legendary warlock our library shares." Archer replied.
Then Caleb started to ask. "I heard that you are on your way to the Abyss Coven. What is your purpose?"
"Well. Miss Agnes loves us and invited us for her son's 23rd birthday."
"Oh really? It is Lix's birthday today."
"You know Calix?"

Caleb snorted. "Why will I not know my cousin?" 
"Oh Merlin! What a small world." Draco chuckled
"Let's go, shall we? Name's Gelo and this is my love, Mikki."
"A werewolf and a warlock, eh? A slytherin move to break the rules."
"As much as I would love to know those magical terms, we need to go to their castle before evening, Abyss Coven is known to release deadly poison gas when the clock hits 7pm."
As they decide to walk towards the castle, the King's shifters follow them. Han is grinning like a clown.
"Han wipe your grin off your face." Jasper ordered.
"Why would I? I saw the legendary wizards. I don't give two fucks if our pack will hate me. I just want this pointless war to be done. So let me live my dream."
"Han, my handsome mate. We are letting you, just be silent." Minho gave him a peck and continued to follow them.
Draco then leaned close to his husband, whispering.
"Be aware, we are being stalked by some mutts."
"Austin. Are you aware of the dogs following us?" He asked softly, making Gelo and Mikki laugh at the insult.

"If you guys are feeling three wolves tailing us, yes. They were the 'king's protector' ordered to keep an eye on me. To keep me safe."
"May I ask why?" Harry asked as they just passed the big gates of the Coven entrance.
"I am his other half."
"Then why-"
Gelo interrupted the young wizard.
"To tell you, Caleb hates them. We, warlocks, are never on good terms with the shifters." 
"You see, Archer. Unlike in our country, where shifters and other magical beings being linked to wizards are fine. Here, warlocks and witches have hated and despised shifters since 200 years ago. Am I right?" Draco asked
"But- Mikki and Gelo are different." their son replied with a pout. 
"We are, but, we strayed from the norms. We are not the only people who found love from hatred." Mikki eyed Draco and Harry who just laughed it off.
They came to a stop when they reached the castle. It is decorated with purple and dark blue banners. There are guests entering from all the gates of the castle.
"Draco! Harry! Archer dear!" There she was, walking down the grand staircase when she felt their magical energy.. "An honor to finally meet the people who changed the magical world of the UK." She then looked at the people on their back. She gasped and slowly walked towards Caleb. "Are you Jane's and Samuel's son? Are you really Caleb?"

"Nice to see you too, Aunt Agnes." He smiled and soon got a bone crushing hug. She then saw Mikki and Gelo. "Mikki, Gelo. I see you are accompanying my nephew. Take good care of him. You still know your way to your room, right? Or maybe join your cousin. I'll see you gentlemen later at the party. Archer, you know your way to Calix. Me and your parents will be at the ballroom accompanying the guests. We will call you guys."
As Caleb entered the room, he was already tackled by his younger cousin, crying.

"YOU F*CKING GIT!" Calix sobbed on his shoulder. "I thought you were dead along with your coven."
"Git? You've been hanging too much with Archer." He laughed and wiped the tears. "You won't lose me again, okay? This meaningless war will end in our era."

Mikki, Gelo and Archer are just watching the cousins be an emotional mess, with fondness and caring present in their eyes.

"Now stop with this mushy stuff. Let's play some games. We still have 6 hours before your party." Archer said to lighten the mood.
"How about some board games?"
