My only probably with the chapter is that I dont give a shit how much training he has had his only advantage over the city masters is his thunderbird and Everyone is terrified of him now. Im willing to bet the city masters are fully capable of tearing him apart cell by cell if they can kill off everyone who was ahead of them in the pecking order in their city.

 

Well none of the city masters are afraid of him.. most want to uh.. sodomize him.. desperately. The only person that was 'terrified' was the Vashora he was talking to, and even then that was only briefly and because his animagus was going nuts and threatening everything around him.

Everyone else there is just like "ooo its that guy.. and he's angry", and the vampires are more like "ooo.. what a feisty one .. i want to get stuck into him.. then turn him, then get stuck into him some more".

 

I just got the sense at first that whats his face from Moscow was afraid of him at first. But then again its not like the City Masters can actually do anything to him. Namach or the Ateres would tear them to shreds.

 

Very soon he will be able to take them down. The headmaster is a human and only around 80 yet they said she could take on over half the city masters and win rather easily. And they say Rahkesh will be better than her.

 

You know how Rahkesh/Harry was told that the second evolution from the dragon blood was going to come 'soon'? I think that its not going to happen until right after he kills Voldemort.

Why? It goes back to chapter one of 'Changes in a time of War' when Namach basically said that Voldemort holds a piece of Rahkesh's soul, just as he does for Voldemort. When Rahkesh is a complete soul for the firsttime since he was one year old, I can see a huge evolution of his powers being possible.

And you have to remember there is a lot of room in the city master group. Rahkesh will eventually be better than the headmistress however at the moment he is not. Part of that is underestimating himself, part the fact that he lacks the experience in fighting to the death. However he has steadily been working at bloodmagic, and with the Basilisk helping him do more in a shorter time frame he is one of the youngest blood-magic near masters alive.

Some city masters he could defeat, others he could not at the moment. It goes back to something that was said in A Second Chance at life. Basically that while the teachers might drain a student frequently they don't go to far. Rahkesh has a LOT of power, even for how young he is. If he was turned he will become the next Namach or Cylia.

Basically eventually he will be at, or around, the top of the food chain. Its not wise to let somebody like him live with a grudge against you, just waiting for a chance to 'thank' you for all you have done.

THe city masters would love to turn Rahkesh and even discipline him, however his potential is staggering and all of them are slightly frightened of what he could eventually do. Its implied that being turned into a vampire raises your magical power and ability to work with more fields of magic. Rahkesh who already is around equal if not slightly higher on the food chain than Darey, one of the best young vampires in centuries, is dangerous. Rahkesh as a vampire, trained by Namach or Darey's family could be a nightmare for a lot of city masters.

A lot of them want to turn him but I think thats more because if THEY turn him then they have the bond between sire and childe as insurance against him. Not that thats much good since Namach killed every vampire above five hundred when he was young, however with the potential Rahkesh displayed every little bit helps.

 

Most wouldnt want to turn him, simply because he is probably good enough to turn around in a few short years and kill whoever turns him except Cyla or Namach. Daray and Harry are supposedly the strongest of the age group as far as I can tell. If Rahkesh was turned he and Daray could easily dispose of most everyone except Daray's family and Namach within a few years if I had to guess.

The vampires have to remember if they accidently kill him, what did the thunderbird say to the elves? The thunderbird would probably destroy everything in the general thousand mile radius if someone managed to come that close to killing him. Also I dont see the Baslisk much less the Thunderbird being under anyones control for long.

 

Indeed. Its implied that Harry is the next Namach or Cyla, at least in terms of ability. Namach turned around and killed every vampire older than him once he got strong enough. Harry could probably try to do the same, though it might be difficult to kill Namach or Cyla, as in impossible. However people would be worried.

And I agree Harry would not take being under anybody's control for long.

 

One thing I did not really get: The fae searched Rakesh's soul, so they should know that he is a horcrux, or at least that he has a part of a soul that is not his (and that this part of soul is "black"). Additionally shouldn't they sense that his soul is not whole either?

So how can they think that his soul is amazingly strong (and be right about it) when they have not seen that?

Or if they have, why don't they help him or at least tell him? (At that point in time he didn't know it yet...)

 

I assume it means that his body houses part of Voldemort's soul as well as his own. So when they attacked him, they latched onto his soul (when they couldn't search his mind and magic) and analyzed it.
They weren't aware of the horcrux because they weren't looking for it and had no reason to once they had a hold of his soul.

Either that, or the author just didn't think of that. =P

 

Chapter 18 of the sequel has just been put up for anyone still following this story.

 

This really has become fermented shit.

 

Interesting chapter. I hate how powerful the elves are though, pretty gay.

 

Yes the elves are powerful but atleast some of them got their ass's kicked. I doubt they would have lasted that long if Harry could have transformed

 

It is without a doubt the best fic I have ever read in 5 years of reading fanfiction I just wish the grammar and spelling was better

 

Hey, does anybody know when the auther is going to update again cause in the last chapter they said that they would update twice between then and late January. Is late January and I have't seen an update yet.

 

There's a lot of bad stuff, the author being a girl means that there has to be mentions of slash (mostly with vampires or minors characters) which is quite annoying. Harry has to become tall, muscular, get tattoes through rituals, etc. It's annoying shit, but the story isn't centered on this shit.

On the other side, action is well written; gives a new meaning to über-powerfulness. Harry or Voldemort may be strong, but there are stronger people. Magical races are really well depicted. Many subplots get resolved and aren't left forgotten like so many authors do.

Miranda Flairgold made a rich universe, quite different from JKR's one, but in a way similar. She knows where she is going, the plot is advancing, and I guess that's all that matters to me to make it a readable story. Now, if I have to compare the story with other stuff from the DLP library, I'd rate it somewhere between 3 and 4.

Authors aren't robot (except Shezza) who update every X days. They have a life, so if it's not updated regularly, too bad 'cause nothing can be done. You may have a better chance to get an answer if you ask her yourself; though some authors delay the update when they get too much of these questions.

I doubt you'll find the answer here, so it was a totally useless post you made.

Edit: I'm writing like shit today. Gotta sleep.

 

Special Message for Sree:

This fic has been updated, we know you love it. Just thought you would want to know.

 

I *love* the combat scenes - each is different, each is exciting, each is interesting. The author consistently gives great combat.

 

This has to be the best fic that I have ever read. I can't wait to see were she goes with the dragon blood.
