Chapter 14
Karry helped others up as the breached the surface of the water. They had arrived at a large stone pier that jutted far into an underground sea of a huge cavern a hundred miles long. Natural phosphorescent rock in the caverns ceiling cast dim light through out. A huge dark stone city sprawled throughout the caverns depths, along its floor and up its walls. A golden step pyramids sat st the cities center.
Sasporilla rose up to the surface limp and unconscious. "Levicorpus!" Karry cast levitating her friend from the water and onto the pier. Karry listened to her friends chest. There was no heart beat. Karry pointed her wand at Sasporilla and cast "RESUSITO!"
Sasporillas body jumped and she rolled onto her side. Water blew out of the pink haired witches mouth as her eyes opened and she gasped for breath. Sassy sat up as she continued to cough up water.
"Get it out." Karry said helping her friend.
"Everyone ok?" Sasporilla asked.
"Thanks to you yes." Karry said.
"I had to kill those fish." Sasporilla said sadly. "I hate myself for having to do it. They were just following their nature."
"I know." Karry said. "But if you hadn't we'd have lost more people than we're trying to save. It was us or them."
"Why can't it ever be everyone lives and all win?"
"That would be a wonderful world indeed." Karry smiled. "Can you stand?"
"I'll be fine." Sasporilla smiled looking around. "Where are we?"
"The ancient lost city of GrazaKadabrass," Kingsly Shacklebolt said, "would be my best educated guess. Dark stone buildings and a gold step pyramid at it's center."
"The ancient dark wizarding city?" Karry gasped. "I thought it was just a myth."
"That's what we all thought." Kingsly said. "The hub of all dark magic, it was destroyed in the ancient war between the forces of light and darkness."
"But wasn't it to have been banished to an unreachable place on another world?" Karry asked remembering the stories.
"Apparently it was." Minister Shacklebolt said holding out his hand yo the city. "Don't forget, the world Avalon is in, though it shares with space with our world, still isn't our world. GrazaKadabrass was banished here."
"It looks long abandoned." Sasporilla mused.
"Not surprising." Karry said. "It was banished thousands of years ago. I'm sure those who could escape did so long ago. The rest like perished."
"But whichever the situation you can bet dark traps were left behind." Kingsly frowned.
"Minister!" Seventh year volunteers Jamie Gryffin and Horace Munchen yelled as they ran down the dock.
"What is it?" Kingsly asked. "What's the matter?"
"We've found something we think you should see sir." Jamie Gryffin said. "Right away.
The seventh years lead the way from the pier to the beach where the rest of the rescue party gathered. Minister Shacklebolt gasped at he saw what it was the gathered around. The badly dismembered corpse of a young girl in ripped and bloodied Slytherin robes. Carnivorous fish, though dead, still hung on to bits of her torn flesh.
"Mary Crowly." Sasporilla said.
"Are you sure?" The minister of magic asked.
"Olga Bathory and Mary Crowley are Slytherin. Katelynn is Hufflepuff. Since Olga was rescued and that's what's left of a Slytherin robe, simple deductive reasoning and logic says that has to be Mary Crowely."
"Good job." Karry said, rather impressed by her friend. "We just might make an academic of you yet!"
"She'd make a damn fine auror too!" Lyra smiled.
"Like her dad." Nick said.
Sasporilla was embarrassed by the praise and looked away. She saw footprints that lead from the beach into the city. One small pair of shoes and the unmistakable slither marks of a large serpent.
"Karry." Sassy said pointing to the foot prints.
"Looks like Katelynn went with the snake into the city." Karry said. "But where is Jasmine? I see no sign of adult foot prints accompanying them?"
"Perhaps the snake followed her and erased her foot prints." Nick surmised.
"Or she's an animagus or worse." Lyra said.
"Well whatever the number it appears our trail leads into GrazaKadabrass." Kingsly Shacklebolt said. "And to that pyramid of gold."
