0102 Purpose "I was already very careful, but I don't know when it started, it seems that everyone knows who 'Golden Viper' really is–" Bryan laughed mockingly at himself, his voice echoing in the dark alley. He leaned against the brick wall, his eyes scanning the surroundings for any signs of danger. "To find you, we paid a terrible price." Cliodna's tone was full of heavy apologies, she seemed to want to apologize for approaching Bryan in this way, but Bryan didn't give her a chance to speak, he turned and left, walking steadily towards the stairs that led to the main street, until his figure disappeared completely in the dim light, a faint voice came from the dark hole. "Let's go somewhere else, Miss Coffey, I don't want to fight with anyone here, especially with a powerful wizard like you." The two of them turned away from the city lights and walked eastward to the outskirts of the wasteland. Cliodna followed behind Bryan, keeping a respectful distance. As they passed a stone bridge over a small river, she noticed that Bryan's footsteps stumbled slightly. He glanced subconsciously at the slow-flowing river, where the moonlight reflected on the water surface. But soon he concealed his anomaly and continued to walk forward with steady steps, as if nothing had happened. The two of them walked silently for a long time, until the road leading to the outside of the city became a crooked path. Bryan stopped and took out a wand from his pocket and waved it violently. A powerful banishing spell made the animals lurking in the shadows flee in panic from this land that might be in trouble. A gust of wind blew over, making Bryan's hair flutter in the air. "Tell me, Miss Coffey–" As a brilliant golden flame swept over Bryan's body, his short-sleeved T-shirt and jeans disappeared, replaced by an old-fashioned dark green wizard robe that matched his eyes. The bad mood reflected on his face with a lazy smile, "How did you figure out that Golden Viper was Bryan Watson? I think the terrible price you mentioned shouldn't be a bunch of galleons?" "It was through divination, Mr. Watson." In the wilderness, the billions of stars and the bright moon hanging in the night sky were the only sources of light. Cliodna, who exuded a 'natural aura', seemed to blend in with the surrounding environment. Her long blonde hair was braided with flowers and leaves, and her white dress was made of fine linen. She looked like a fairy from an ancient legend. "Divination?" Bryan looked absurd, "I remember I cast some protective spells on myself that could prevent me from being located or cursed by some inexplicable spells. Miss Coffey, you are lying." "Divination and sacrifice–" Cliodna was no longer as calm as before. Her drooping eyes showed some decadence and sadness. She clenched her hands on her chest, where a pendant shaped like a bird hung on a silver chain. "You are a powerful wizard, Mr. Watson. In order to find out the true identity of 'Golden Viper', a respected elder gave his life for it." This is a difficult woman to deal with–Bryan had this thought in his heart. She was so in both strength and wisdom. She knew how to use different channels to achieve her goals, and she was not afraid of exposing her identity. As the conversation continued, Bryan was not as angry as he was at the beginning, but he still had no good feelings for this woman who approached him by any means. He was just annoyed that he was entangled by such a person. "We don't know what exactly exists in that mysterious black tower in the underground world, but Merlin's final resting place is not there, Mr. Watson–" Cliodna raised her right hand, and the light blue bracelet tied to her slender wrist emitted a dazzling light. It turned into a wand made of two thick grapevines intertwined together. Bryan could clearly feel the powerful magic and vitality from this strangely shaped wand. Cliodna raised her wand and drew something on the void. After a while, a white scroll unfolded in the void. The picture on the screen was like a TV screen. It was an old female priest with eyes and hair the same color as Cliodna's. She was in a primitive forest that Bryan had never seen before. The old priest stood on a gray-white altar made of stone and wood, and held up the wand in Cliodna's hand. As the ancient and mysterious chanting echoed through the jungle, the dark green branches and leaves of the ancient trees around the altar bloomed with green fluorescence. The earth rose up with black fog, and those faint lights and fog seemed to be attracted by something and gathered in front of the old priest, forming a vague light and shadow. The outline of the light and shadow gradually became clear, and a golden strange snake appeared in the primitive forest where people rarely visited. The old priest on the altar turned pale and vomited blood and fell down. After seeing that strange snake, Bryan's eyes showed a sudden realization, and he finally understood how he was targeted. ****************************************************** IMPORTANT: Below is a detailed explanation about druids in harry potter canon by JK Rowling: Druids are a group of people who practice a form of ancient Celtic paganism. They are known for their knowledge of nature, magic, and divination. In the wizarding world, druids have a long and complex history, and some of them have made significant contributions to the magical society. I have put some facts about druids in the wizarding world by J.K. Rowling below: Druids were skilled in wandmaking and used vine wood for their wands, following their belief that anything with a woody stem was a tree. Vine wood wands are sensitive and suited for owners who have hidden depths and unexpected talents. Hermione Granger had a vine wood wand. One of the most famous druids in history was Cliodna, who was an Animagus who could turn into a sea bird and had three magical birds that cured the sick by singing them to sleep. She also discovered the properties of Moondew, a plant that could make people fall in love. -Source: /writing-by-jk-rowling/wand-woods Druids also had a connection with Merlin, the most legendary wizard of all time. Merlin himself was said to have some druidic ancestry, and he respected their traditions and culture. He also helped to protect them from persecution by the Church, which considered them as pagans and heretics. Some druids believed that Merlin left a legendary item in his ruins that belonged to their sect, and they sought to find it and use its power. -Source: /writing-by-jk-rowling Druids are an example of how different forms of magic can coexist and enrich the wizarding world. They have a unique perspective on nature and life, and they have preserved their ancient wisdom and practices for centuries. /FicFrenzy
