Chapter 51

February 4, 1993

It was particularly cold that morning when Lucien woke up. So he dressed accordingly before he went out for a run. He took the time to clear his mind and gather his thoughts. Lucien spent most of the morning working out. It was different now that he was stronger, he needed to push harder than ever before just to get a decent sweat going.

When Lucien returned, He spent his time looking over the construction of Tricore soul wands . and How they were made. He then pulled out Slytherins wand, that had gotten from the chamber of secrets. Lucien looked it over and could tell it tempered in blood and basilisk venom. It was an exceptionally powerful wand. Like Lucien's wand, in spite of its lack of sentience.

"Hmm, how odd. I will not eat you today. But your days are numbered" Lucien told the wand as if it could understand him before he put it away.

When Lucien received the 3rd baptism he could fill the gaps between baptism slowly rise. So, he decided to achieve the next few baptisms naturally and save things like wand eating and sacrificial magic for the later stages

There was knock on the door pulling Lucien from his many thoughts as he got up to open the door. It was Tondy

"Master Lucien, The elves have acquired all of their targets, The have been cataloged and ready for auction" Reported tondy

"Good, send letters out on my Behalf. Besides the pureblood families, no one knows my identity as you have always been my proxy. So Sign the letters as Ixxen, Empyrean of the Underworld. I like it, it is very dramatic. " Said, Lucien

"Yes master Lucien, I like it as well" Replied Tondy

"Good, 'Ixxen, Empyrean of the underworld' it is. Set the date for July…17... that's a good date. Oh, and Choice 8 elves and give them each an elixir. Once the transformation is complete send them here" said Lucien

"as you wish master Lucien" Tondy

"Make sure they are somewhere secluded, like an island. Have you taken the elixir yet Tondy?" Lucien asked

"No master Lucien, Tondy and Visney would like to take the Elixir with Nokby" He replied

"Haha, I understand completely. Go ahead, you can leave now" Lucien told Tondy

Shutting the door Lucien returned to his studying

The night of the 4th Abby went into labor…

She had pains and contraction, yet it seemed the baby wasn't ready to come just yet. Abby's wailing could be heard throughout the Labor and Delivery wing. Her husband Rudy was just as loud. Abby had his arm in a death grip as if she was ready to take it off.

Abby went through 2 hours, Then the doctors told her the baby had to be turned around. Though everything ended well and Abby gave birth to a beautiful baby girl on February 5, 1993, at 12:45am.

The Bennett family was ecstatic. Lucien walked into the room right after. Taking a look at the baby girl, Lucien just stared at her for a moment

"Bonnie," He said, " Her name will be Bonnie Bennett"

He smiled at Bonnie, then left the hospital room.

In the days Following. Lucien and the Bennett family performed the blessing for Bonnie, and the Fidelius Charm to hide the location of the Ancestral Manor. The ladies gave Lucien a list of material they wanted their wands to consist of. Eight new elves also appeared in Mystic Falls.

Lucien took two of them back. Two of them were dark elves with features that didn't fit in the were replaced by two Forest elves. In the end, there were 3 forest elves 3 Yumboes and 2Celestial elves. The Celestial elves also had brown skin, with supernatural physiques. Their eyes were silver and shined like the moon.

Back in England. Visney, Padkey, Tondy, Nokby, and Mera had started to hand out elixirs and evolve the house elves and yumboe. They broke into five groups and went to different parts of the world to complete the transformations. It caused many storms and left nothing but destruction wherever they transformed. By February 13, 1993. The world had 200 forest elves, 150 dark elves, 200 yumboe, and 75 Celestial Elves.

Under Lucien orders, The elves had created a small kingdom on the Isle of Mull. With the Dubois Manor as the centerpiece after tripling its size. That was recognized publicly By Queen Elizabeth and the new Prime Minister she had put in office, as a country under the control of Duchess Dorothea Bennett as it's Queen. The Kingdom of Mull was an absolute monarchy.

With a Kingdom built and an Army built to support it, Lucien focused on Creating wands for his family and the reopening of the black market. Now that he knew what kept Voldemort alive. He wasn't really worried about him. Lucien was positive that Dumbledore was also aware of the Horcruxes. And had a long game in motion to combat it. However, Lucien was still vigilant and would be destroying Voldemorts Horcrux book as soon as he returned to Hogwarts

Lucien asked the forest elves to gather the oldest trees needed to make the family wand. The Tri-core soul wands were based on Lamarck's theory of full sentient evolution of the wand by way of the tree and magical creature residual spirit merger nurtured by a wizard's magic.

Lucien figured the older the tree and magical creature, the more potent residual spirit and more likely to achieve sentience. So, he also sent the dark elves out to find the oldest beast they could find according to the list the family provided him.

Around the world, the oldest trees that had become landmarks were pulled from the earth and taken away to be replanted on the Isle of Mull for Lucien's wand making. And the oldest Beast were all imprisoned for Lucien and Nokby to research.

Lucien then spent the day practicing making single core wands, to hone his wand making skills, remembering the process just was not enough to make a complicated wand like the Tri-Core soul wand. around 1pm, Abby knocked on the door and walked in.

"Lucien, aren't you forgetting something?" Abby suggested

"I don't forget Abby, I'll be dressed in a moment. Besides, it starts at five. Does it not?" Lucien replied

"Haha when you are ready, I'll be downstairs. I'll be taking you.' She said

"Where's Bonnie?" asked Lucien

"With Rudy, he took her to meet his brother today" Abby answered

By three o'clock in the afternoon, Lucien had made three single core traditional wands. Pleased with his work, he made a note of all the wands flaws and places that needed improvement.

When Abby and Lucien were at the front door waiting. Lucien could see Jenna's dress and snapped his fingers changing the colors of his shirt from grey to burgundy, matching Jenna.

When the door opened It was Miranda and Jenna behind them was some Smug looking man that slightly resembled Grayson. Lucien figured it was Grayson's brother since he could sense that troublesome Gilbert ring on his finger.

Abby and Lucien walked into the house, Grayson was holding Elena on the couch, probably trying to get her to sleep.

Miranda and Abby hugged and said their hellos as they walked off talking about Bonnie and Elena. While Lucien and Jenna were at the dance another one of Abby's and Miranda's friends was supposed to drop by with her newborn as well.

"You are beautiful Jenna, and I love your dress " Lucien told Jenna to ease the anxiety he saw on her face

"You think so?" She responded,

"Of course, you're an unparalleled beauty for sure." Lucien took a step closer grabbed the hand Jenna was using to pull hanging hair behind her ear from her face.

"I like it like this, More attractive". He said, pulling her hand down, causing the loose hair to hang over her left eye

"Hehe Okay." Jenna blushed at the unexpecting compliant, her cheeks dawned a pinkish tinge that accumulated more contrast when she noticed Lucien was still holding onto her hand

Lucien twisted his hand, causing a white rose to appear, Lucien never understood the attraction to the red ones. the ȧduŀts in the living room, watched Lucien conjure the rose and hoped Jenna didn't.

"Happy Valentine's day, Jenna" Lucien handed her the flower.
