Chapter 58: Where's it from?...

"What does that mean?" (Queen Hippolyta)

In the Oracle chambers, Isaac, Queen Hippolyta, and Diana were puzzled by the Oracle's prediction.

"I don't know..." (Oracle Menalippe)

(Huh, she doesn't know?)

Everyone looked at the Oracle as if saying that she needed to explain herself.

*Sigh*

"The visions and predictions don't come with a specific timeline or manual; that's why we can only interpret what the gods want to tell us." (Oracle Menalippe)

Then she looked at Isaac.

"But one thing is certain: this prediction didn't come from our gods." (Oracle Menalippe)

"What!?" (Queen Hippolyta)

Now it was time for Queen Hippolyta to be stunned.

"Then where's it  from?" (Princess Diana)

For the first time, Princess Diana spoke.

"I do not know Princess, but I can tell that the entity that gave me that prediction was ancient and extremely powerful (Oracle Menalippe).

(I doubt that I will get answers from the system, but I guess I need to keep that in mind for now on.)

"I understand. I thank you."

Isaac bowed to the Oracle.

"I'm sorry that I couldn't be of more help; also, there's something else..."(Oracle Menalippe)

(There's more!?)

"This one is for Queen Hippolyta and you. An alliance must be made between the sorcerer and the Amazons." (Oracle Menalippe)

(Hmm?)

"That sounds more like an order than a prediction." (Princess Diana)

Queen Hippolyta didn't comment on that statement.

"Unfortunately, I doubt right now that you all will accept an alliance with me."

"Why is that?" (Princess Diana)

Diana looked curiously at Isaac.

"Due to cultural and gender differences."

"Cultural?" (Princess Diana)

"Gender?"(Queen Hippolyta)

"Correct; after all, I'm a male."

When Isaac confirmed their thoughts, Queen Hippolyta, Princess Diana, and the other Amazons in the room took fighting stances.

As the only one armed, Princess Diana pulled out her sword from her sheath.

Queen Hippolyta and Princess Diana didn't know what to say or do; they knew that there was a possibility that the person known as Sephiroth could be a male, but he alrigh admitting it was, unexpected. Furthermore, he was invited to the island.

"The Amazons lost to a man." If these news reached the city, many Amazons would try to revolt and attack him and his island.

For that reason, Queen Hippolyta was trying to come up with a plan, but unfortunately, it was too late. A knock came through the metal door.

*Knock* *knock*

"My Queen, the preparations are complete (General Phillipus)

"..."(Queen Hippolyta)

Seeing the Amazons like that, Isaac spoke.

"As soon as we finish our promise, I will go; later, if things change, we can talk about it carefully."

*Sigh*

"Very well.(Queen Hippolyta) Her tone changed to a more cold one.

After saying that she looked at the Amazons in the chamber, her demeanor and voice changed immediately.

"Not a word will be spoken of what transpires here today, understood!?" (Queen Hippolyta)

An order that no one could defy, and if they were foolish enough to do it, there was only one outcome: death.

"Yes, Queen Hippolyta!"

"That includes you, my daughter (Queen Hippolyta).

"Yes, mother(Princess Diana)

She put her sword in her sheath again.

*****************

After saying his goodbyes to the Oracle, Issac followed the Queen, the Princess, and the General throughout the palace. After exiting the palace from the back, a massive Greek temple could be seen at the foot of a mountain.

(This mountain, no, this is the famous volcano; if my memories are right, this is where the gates of Tartarus are and also the Treasury.)

{And apparently the magic circle too}

After entering the temple, Isaac could finally distinguish for which God served this temple.

(...Hera)

The temple had many sculptures of Hera along with many offerings, and many Amazons were guarding the place.

We went directly down the temple; we passed many rooms and places.

(This place is f**ing massive.)

Suddenly, we reached a place where a massive door lay in front of us. General Phillipus took a step forward, and she pulled out a medallion from her neck.

The medallion started to shine, and then the door, in response, started to shine as well, in an intriguing pattern.

*Clank*

*Creack*

(A magic recognize mechanism, hmm, not only that, I also can see that the medallion had some runes carved on it and they match up with the door.)

The door opened, and a massive set of downstairs could be seen.

She didn't hesitate and went in, followed by us. After a couple of hours, we finally reached the end of the downstairs.

Another door was there, this time smaller than the last one, small enough for only one person to pass.

(I can feel that we are below sea level; that means that we should be in the magma chamber of the volcano, but there's no heat.)

This time, it was Queen Hippolyta who took a step forward.

She put forward her right hand, where an exquisite bracelet transformed itself into a key. Gripping the key, she put it on the carved space in the middle of the door.

*Clank*

*Tssi*

*Creack*

This activated a mechanism that opened the door before them. General Phillipus was the first one to enter, followed by the Queen, Princess Diana, me, and lastly, the Amazon Guards.

When Isaac entered the room, the first thing he saw was the massive drawing of a magic circle on the entire floor of the room.

"You have 1 hour(General Phillipus)

He didn't respond to her; instead, he started to levitate high up into the ceiling of the room, but the floor and the ceiling were massive.

(I guess this room is the size of the entire volcano, and we are in the magma chamber, but all that magma is pushed down, and that pressure, along with the geothermic energy, is what powers the hole island.)

Isaac flew all the way up until he could finally distinguish the whole magic circle.

(Hmm, this thing is more complex than the seal on their heads and souls.)

[Do you wish for me to start the analysis of the magic circle, master?]

(Not yet; let me see it with my other vision first.)

Isaac's eyes started to glow, and then he finally saw something unexpected.

(Yes, this is the auto-destructive security measure; there are additional magic circles that support the main one, as well as runes that connect each magic circle to the others.)

After half an hour, Isaac came down.

*Tap*

"I'm done; the debt has been repaid; now, if you excuse me,"

Isaac pulled a teleportation talisman from his robes for everyone to see.

Immediately, the guards, Princess Diana and General Phillipus, took a defensive stance.

Even when they all saw the paper in his hand, they didn't put down their guards.

The paper turned bright in his right hand, and then, in a flash of purple light, he disappeared.

"What an interesting person" Princess Diana whispered under her breath.

"Let's go, everyone. We need much to discuss" (Queen Hippolyta)

The Queen just turned around and left the room.

Back on the ship, the moment he was teleported in, it started to move, and the Amazons on the port received the instructions to let the ship go.

"Now you can start analyzing the magic circle."

[Understood, master, but due to the complexity of the magic circle, the time...]

"Don't worry about the time; complete the project, Hogwarts, first, then start with this one."

[Understood]


Chapter 59: Doctor Fate...

It's been a couple months since Isaac came back from Themyscira, and his island was looking more and more beautiful with the inclusion of the buildings that are going to serve as departments, work places, and recreation places.

All that in preparation for this so-called project Hogwarts, or at least his version of it.

"How much time will it take for it to be finished?"

Isaac was checking the new buildings, roads, and equipment that were created or installed on the island.

[3 more months, Master, the magic detection system is being tested as we speak.]

"Very well, let me know, as soon as it finishes."

[Understood master]

After completing his task, he pulled out a teleportation talisman, and he disappeared from the island.

_________________________________

His idea was to simply recruit or save any new magic user on earth and teach them how to control their magic, but that wasn't all. After teaching them, they would have the possibility to work for him in the new agency that he would open.

This agency will be responsible for the protection, capture, or elimination of any magic threat that occurs on Earth.

"How are you going to call this agency?" (Giovanni)

In Gotham, Giovanni and Zatana were having breakfast when Isaac called to speak with them.

"Dad, is that what you worry about?" (Zatana) She looked at her father with disappointment.

"What?" (Giovanni) He was puzzled by the comment and the face of his daughter.

"Wait, dad, do you know Harry P****r?" (Zatana) She asked her father with doubt in her voice.

"I do not know of this, Harry" (Giovanni) somewhat embarrassed, answered the question.

Giovanni was an old-school man; he didn't read or watch new media, and with his obsession with ancient magic, he had no time to waste on other things.

*Sigh*

"Well, father, this Howarts that Isaac is speaking is a school for young mages that don't know how to use their magic..."(Zatana)

After Zatana explained what the premise of the books and movies was, Giovanni finally understood his daughter's point.

There were many questions: who is going to teach them? What would happen if they injured themselves? How are you going to recruit them? What if they become dangerous for society?.

After the both of them finished with their questions, they looked at Isaac, who was only smiling gently at them both.

"What?" ×2 (Zatana, Giovanni)

"I already asked myself all those questions and more. The reason for my visit was simple: I came to offer a job position as a professor for the both of you. In that way, you will see how I'm going to solve those questions.What do both of you say?"

"Hmm, I will need to..." (Giovanni)

"YES!!"(Zatana)

She immediately responded with approval.

"Eh?" (Giovanni) looked at his exited daughter.

"Right, I forgot. Master Giovanni, can you ask my proposition to your wife? She will be an excellent teacher too." 

Isaac just gave an innocent smile.

(This kid...)"I will ask her about it.(Giovanni)

He knew that his wife was grateful to him for freeing her and her people, so her answer was obvious.

"Very well, Isaac, I accept" (Giovanni)

Giovanni give up pretending to think about it

.

"Great!"Isaac smiled more deeply.

"But first, I think it is time to introduce you to someone who will want to know about this" (Giovanni)

***************************

Salem, Massachusetts

On a clearance surrounded by trees, a purple-colored portal appeared. From it, two people came out: one wearing a black tuxedo along with a short black cane and a top hat, and the other wearing a dark blue coat, navy blue shirt with white pants and black shoes.

The both of them looked at their surroundings, seeing that the place was clear, the portal disappeared.

"So, master, where is this friend of yours?"

"Well, knowing Kent, he probably forgot or is saving someone as we speak" (Giovanni)

Giovanni took out a pocket watch and looked at the time. Seeing that the agreed-upon hour had passed, he put out his watch, and then he pulled out a cellphone.

*Ring*

*Ring*

*Beep*

"Well, hello Giovanni, it's been a long time. What can I do for you?" (Kent Nelson)

*Sigh* 

"You forgot our meeting, didn't you..."(Giovanni)

"What? "Wait, right, you called me yesterday; how did I forget it? Well, anyway, you're outside, right?" (Kent Nelson)

"Yes, along with my friend" (Giovanni)

"Right, come on in(Kent Nelson), his voice sounded carefree over the phone.

*Hum*

Before us, a giant medieval tower appeared out of nowhere. It had only one giant entrance along with many small windows. You could see inside of it, but the curious thing was that all you could see were stairs.

*Creack*

The giant wooden door opens up by itself.

"Let's get inside.(Giovanni) He started to walk into the tower.

"Very well," Isaac followed through.

Once inside, they could see a long hallway adorned with candles on both sides, a long red carpet with gold patterns on the floor, and a couple of paintings on the walls.

"Come"(Giovanni) He approached one of the paintings; this one had a cozy library on it.

Once he stood in front of it, he extended his right hand over the painting.

*Glup*

Immediately, he was absorbed by the painting.

(What is this, Mario 64?)

*Sigh*

"Here goes nothing."

Isaac approached the same painting and repeated the same motion, and then...

*Gulp*

He was absorbed by the painting as well.

______________________________________

*Thud*

Isaac landed on the floor of a giant library; this library was exactly the same as in the painting.

(Interesting way of transportation...)

A couple of feet away from him was Giovanni talking with an old gentleman. He had white skin, blue eyes, and silver grey hair, along with his beard. He was dressed in a casual brown shirt, blue pants, and brown shoes.

"Ah, Isaac, come here, let me introduce you..."(Giovanni)

As soon as Giovanni noticed Isaac, he moved to the side to let the old gentleman see him better.

Once Isaac stood in front of both of them, Giovanni continued.

"This gentleman here is Kent V. Nelson; he is also known by another name..."(Giovanni)

"Doctor Fate"

Isaac completed his sentence.

"That's correct. Well, Nelson, this youngster right here is Isaac Kent; he also has another name..."(Giovanni)

"Sephiroth isn't?" (Kent Nelson)

(Oh, he knows me, then that means Nabu knows about me.)

"...Correct"(Giovanni)

Giovanni was a little frustrated by what they did.

"It is a pleasure to make your acquaintance," Isaac said with a respectful bow.

"Like wise young man (Kent Nelson), he just gave an approval nod.

"...."

There was an awkward pause for a couple of seconds, but lucky for Giovanni, he spoke on time.

"Nelson I brought Isaac to speak with you and Nabu about a project. (Giovanni)

"Oh, is that so? Then let us speak in another place..."(Kent Nelson)

After saying that, he grabbed, with his right hand, a wooden cane that was beside him.

*Thud*

After grabbing it, he slammed it to the ground, then the whole room started wobbling, and before any of us noticed, the room had changed into a gallery.

This gallery had many artifacts. These artifacts were put on pedestals protected by glass cases; some even had rune carvings on the cases.

*Thud* *thud*

Kent Nelson approached a pedestal without a glass case; on this pedestal, a golden helmet lay there. Once he was in front of it, he left his cane beside the pedestal, and then he reached for the helmet with his hands. After grabbing it, he turned around to face us.

He moved the helmet from his chest to his head, and with a single motion, he put it on.

*Gleam*

A radiant golden light engulfed the entire room. After a couple of minutes, a man wearing a golden helmet, golden cape, gauntlets, belt, and boots with a blue spandex suit was standing where Kent Nelson was standing, but this figure, instead of having his feet on the floor, was floating.

"Speak"(Doctor Fate)
