55 Windfall final (1/2)
500 collection! bonus chap!
Once the Horcrux secured, they all move in another place, a large empty room. As the Bubble was put down, it open, leaving the cup free to take off. Alex sat down while he was surrounded by the complete seventy-five soldiers, blades in hand and ready to cut him down on the order of the Elder present, observing what will happen.
Not minding them, he starts by closing his eye and put his two hands on the cup, working his magic.
Because he has always kept his eyes close, he had never witnessed what happens on the outside while he was taking down the Horcrux. This was precisely what seen the goblins. As soon as he put his hands on it, the cup starts to leak out a greenish-dark mass of foul mist. The more exit the cup and clearer the image of a snarling Voldemort face appears.
For the elder, it was all the proof he needs that he hadn't lied to them, but those through didn't surface, as he was erupted by what the young wizard was accomplishing in front of them. Since days old, the goblins have always destroyed the possessed artifacts, sometimes losing priceless and even unique pieces but in order to prevent ghosts from past to return, sacrifices where need.
So when he sees that Alex was able to draw the taint out of the artifact, he didn't bugle of a millimeter, engraving the scene in his mind. He could see what the child was doing, by opening partially his mind to entice the soul shard of a living host, before trapping in in his shield, waving them around it like a spider with his prey.
He couldn't help but be impressed by the fortitude of his mind to resist those battering assault to be free and invade the mind, and the sheer prowess he shows in dealing with it. It was easy to see that it wasn't the first time he did this. Once firmly extracted and in his grasp, All of them shudders have they see him tear apart chunk of the imprint of Voldemort in the soul shard.
As more and more where taken aways, they physically saw it struggle less and less before the entire shard was nothing more than a tainted ama of thick mist. This was also the first step in the unknown for the elder has he never had to interact with a damaged, imprint less piece of soul.
Under their flabbergasted look, they saw him shape and compress the cloud before a forest green aura erupts of him. Invading the cloud has it was shaped, the foul dark color starts to slowly recede, leaving only a pure green spherical shining ball. Completely purified, the ball enters Alex's head has his aura vanish. When he opened his eyes, all the goblins present unconsciously take a step back at those glowing green eyes seeming able to gaze at the deepest part of their soul.
When they see that the child was himself and the soul shard deal with, all sheath their blades before striking loudly their armor with their right hand to their heart, the salute of a warrior to victorious warrior.
