Chapter 124: Priamen’s choice
Harry Potter is owned by JK Rowling
Earth’s Children is owned by Jean Auel
Gaea ordered that the Full Body Bind hex that were on most of the prisoners tied to the posts be removed. They were then fed and cleaned up (many of them had lost control of their bladder or bowels while watching the mass executions of their families) before being re-hexed with that same Full Body Bind that would assure that they would be silent, only able to move their eyes.
The next morning this procedure was repeated. There were concentric rings of posts. Everyone who had survived the test of The Rock had been tied to a post before an Incarcerous hex retied them and a Full Body Bind hex immobilized and silenced them. The posts of the inner most ring held Luna, Ayla, Zeen, Wilmara, with several left free for the people whose families were being currently executed. There was a large flat Stone upon which people were dropped head-first from a great height. So much magic had charged The Rock that if a person was a Weech or Weez-ur their magic would cause them to bounce, not die. This had happened so many times that sometimes a muggle would be saved by the magic of those who had been dropped before them. After watching their entire family executed, it would be the turn of the person who was made to watch, to face The Rock. Survivors were tied to posts in one of the outer rings.
Now it was time for the Hufflepuff Clan to face The Rock. Priamen was the only surviving adult amongst his Clan. All of the other adults had either been killed at their cave, or had gone with Mariza to the other Summer Gathering. Priamen was given the antidote to the Draught of Living Death that had been given to all prisoners when they had first been captured.
“Well if it isn’t our little Bouza-trader? Hello Priamenedesatyr,” said Gaea. “I’m going to give you the same offer I gave Zeen. If you can Relieve my Need, I’ll spare the life of one of the members of this clan.”
Priamen had been too shocked to say anything at first. He’d awoken to find himself face-to-face with his worst nightmare, who was wearing a human head for a hat. As he watched her kill the members of his Clan, one by one, he began to realize that she was serious! But who would he save?
Zuradan, Đebotiča, Zuradaz and Vojkovica were all dead. Who would Mariza and ‘Thoni want him to save? One of Vojkovica’s daughters? One of Vezava’s sisters? When he saw Lantura, sister of Vesava about to face The Rock, his decision was made for him.
“I’ll do it!” announced Priamen. “Let her live and I’ll do it!”
“Who is she? Why do you care about her?” demanded Gaea.
“To me, she’s nobody . . . but she’s my mate’s, mate’s, mate’s sister,” replied Priamen.
“Very well, You and she will be spared for now . . . .” agreed Gaea. “And tonight, you’ll relieve my Need again, like you did all those years ago!”
Lantura was tied to a post, awakened and made to watch as the rest of the Clan, one by one were killed. She cried and wailed and defecated on herself as she watched everyone in her Clan die.
Next up were the Lovegood Clan. Most of them were magical, and thus survived The Rock. But one member of this Clan held a special significance to Gaea, as she used to be mated to him.
“Gah!”
“Hello Wilmar. I knew you wouldn’t want to miss this so I woke you up early,” purred Gaea.
“Mara the spirits have surely cursed your mind to make you even thing of doing that with Zar’s head!” yelled Wilmar.
“We’ll see who the spirit’s have cursed!” snarled Gaea as she waved at one of her weez-urs.
He waved his hand and levitated Wilmar’s 2nd mate, Broonva’s daughter high over the Rock, before letting her drop. When her head hit the rock, it broke open, and splattered its’ contents all over Wilmar, Luna, Ayla, Gaea and any one else nearby.
Broonva, daughter of Broona was next to die.
Larnkura, Daughter of Larnzi died, along with her children, her mate, Đaylan, son of Đuže and his 1st mate Boograva, daughter of Ugra and her two youngest children.
Zoug, son of Uva died, along with his mate Hažđa, daughter of Halđa and all of her children except one and his 2nd mate: Larnka, daughter of Larnzi and her children.
Boov, son of Ena died along with his mates: Ugra, daughter of Uva and Broona daughter of Ena and her children.
Laušić, son of Joković died with his 2nd mate Žrarđa, daughter of Hažđa.
And finally, after watching all of them die, It was Wilmar’s turn to meet his fate on the Rock. Wilmar, Son of Iga, was dead.
Gaea had given Iga a break from being repeatedly Forced so she could watch her son die. But Iga refused to watch or even speak up to plead for mercy for her self or her son. She just kept her eyes locked on Luna’s as she silently prayed to her.
Seeing that Iga was not broken yet, Gaea sent her back to the tipi to be Forced some more.
Now it was the Mrđyn Clan’s turn. This clan had hived off from Durc’s clan and like, his, they tried to live a more Clan lifestyle than some of the other clans.
Now Greeb, son of Eva died, along with his mate, Cruma, daughter of Uma.
Vođić, Son of Šimiča died, along with his mates: Ura, daughter of Ura, and Bruža, daughter of Oga.
Thoova, daughter of Ruža died.
Broova, son of Uva died, along with his 2nd mate: Boorvna, daughter of Borvna.
And finally, after make a big show of it and killing her children before her, Gaea order the execution of Ruža, former mate of Thonlan.
Next came the Nott član, that had hived off the Đumbleđore član. There were few survivors. One after one the weez-urs, at Gaea’s direction, dropped them head-first on The Rock. One after one, with few exceptions they died . . . . death after death . . . and Luna suddenly realized just how pivotal these people were to her past. Every time one died, all of the descendants also ceased to exist. The forbearer of Dolores Umbridge died, and now Pius Thicknesse was Luna’s 4th Year DADA teacher. Another Death, And the Creavy Brothers were gone. The forbearer of Godric Grifyndor died, and now someone else co-founded Hogwarts.
Luna could feel Gaea breaking the World!

“Hello Class. Welcome to Evolution and its' spread through the worlds.
Now if you look at the map, these 6 continents represent what is known as our world or World Prime. The genetic diversity of our world is greater than any other, so it stands to reason that our world is the one on which life first began. And indeed, life is more diverse on our world than on any other. The way in which our work works in such that it seemed, at first, that our world had come into being entirely through natural means . . . but it has now been proven than that the worlds came into being through the intervention of a powerful being. Every religion claims that their god is the the Intelligent Designer. But the more scientifically minded of us joking call it the Flying Spegetti Monster or as I like the can it: the Alien Space Bat. Regardless of who the creator is, there is no evidence that s/he has interfered with the functioning of our world since s/he set it in motion.
It is clear that Human life started on Africa and spread from there to Eurasia. North America was only sparsely populated by various peoples (Vikings, Minoans, Celts, Phonecians) who had crossed the Atlantic from Eurasia. But for various reasons, this remained unknown in Europe. In some cases, the parent civilization ended, leaving the settlers stranded. In others, the colony was forgotten or thought a legend. Some, like the Basque fishermen, actively kept the knowledge of the Americas a secret. Regardless, in 1492, Columbus broke the secret and Europeans began exploring the Americas, led by Spain. They found a North America that was barely populated, South America was even less so. In fact, the closest the Americas had to a civilization was the Ashur civilization in the Mississippi valley, who we now know are descended from Phonecian colonists.
There was a lot of evidence that our world was a sphere. But in 1519, Magellan attempted to sail around the world. He had previously sailed East to the Philippines around the Southern tip of Africa. So when he crossed the Pacific and found a Philippine Islands that was not only completely devoid of people, but also had different plants and animals that he was used to, he began to be suspicious. Magellan's consternation continued as he sailed round an Africa that, like the Philippines, was uninhabited and was covered in Plants and Animals that had all migrated across the Bering straight from North America. But his fears were confirmed when he sailed into Spain and found no sign that anyone had even lived there. Although Columbus's discovery had been called the New World, Magellan had truly discovered a New World, the World we now know as W2.
W2 is very much like our own world, with the same continents. Except all life on W2 came from our own world. The dominant land animals on W2's Eurasia and Africa are all descended from North American ones, as are the birds. On W2's Australia, the large land animals are flightless birds of South American descent. Though the flying birds are of both North and South American descent. On W2's Americas, as well as W3's Eurasia and Africa, the large land animals are all flightless birds of North American descent.
Yes, although, there was plenty of illusionary evidence that our world was a sphere, it was, in fact, part of and infinite plane with groups of continents.
Spain's discovery of another Europe and the establishment of a colony there, inspired more exploration from Portugal, who had been concentrating mostly on exploring the Indian ocean and East Asia. Attempting to sail East in search of another Europe, they found, instead, another America. But unlike our Americas, E2's Americas were much more populated. And the Amerinidian population of E2's Americas included the Mighty and gold-rich Aztec and Incan Empires. But all the large land animals of E2's Americas were of Asian descent. One has to wonder how different the Amerindian cultures would have been if they had had bison, jaguars, and llamas, instead of elephants, tigers, and yaks. Still even with the diseases that decimated the Amerindians in the 16th century, their population was still high enough that their names for geographic features are more likely to be used in the Americas of various worlds than that of the the few people that sparely populated the Americas of our own world.
When the conquistadors starting sending treasure fleets from E2, the other nations of the Europe all joined the exploration game. (and the piracy game too) and when people started to realize just how many worlds there were, it became common for dissidents, especially religious ones to try to set up a colony far away. This has caused many nations that have vanished from our own world, like the Austro-Hungarian Empire and the various German principalities that made up old Holy Roman Empire to survive long after the parent country vanished. All you needed was a ship and people that know how to live off the land long enough to get the first crop going. The Mormons and Amish are particularly good at this kind of colonization.
Anyway, E2's Eurasia, Africa, Australia, and E3's Americas are all dominated by flightless birds of Asian Descent.
In the 1800's, exploration started reaching into the southern worlds. As you know, the frozen Antarctic continent is located due south of the tip of South America. S2's continents are laid out in a mirror image of our own. At some point when things were warmer, mammals and birds that were native to Antarctica, spread to S1's Antarctica and then to S1's South America. As a result, S2's Americas, as well as SW2's Eurasia and Africa are dominated by strange monotremes, marsupials, and multituberculates that are odder that anything found on our Australia. In addition, the birds of the Southern worlds are of Antarctic descent. The large land animals of S2's Eurasia/Africa, as well as the Americas of SE2 are descended from a single Multituberculate Mammal species that somehow managed to cross S2's Atlantic Ocean.
The Arctic ice prevented exploration by ship, so we didn't really begin exploring that area until the early 20th century. Three families of animals have been particularly successful there: Polar Bears, seals and Walruses. All three had spread from our world's Arctic region to the similar climes in E2, NE2, N2, NW2, and W2. But it is on N2 where the three geni have evolved into a variety of animals to dominate every climate in N2, as well as the Americas of NE2 and Eurasia/Africa of NW2. In Addition, N2's Australia is dominated by a variety of cetaceans (relatives of dolphins and whales) that have returned to the land.
Like the Southern Worlds, the continents of the Northern worlds form a mirror image of our own world. But the biggest surprise on N2 was the people. Apparently during the last Ice Age people had wandered across the ice from Europe to N2's Europe. When we first discovered the inhabitants of they had reached a late classical level of technology with their version of the Roman Empire dominating the Baltic and North seas. The fact that a race of blonde haired, blue eyed people had started their civilization in their world's version of Scandinavia was of great value to Nazi propagandists during the Second World War. But we now know that their language is equally closely or distantly related to German, and Hebrew, and Chinese and Basque.
After the Second World War there was a bit of a scramble by both the Soviet Union and the United States to acquire German Scientists. The efforts of the Rocket Scientists proved to be of great benefit to exploration. However, due to the constant pull of gravity and the limits imposed by fuel weight. Rockets proved only practical for sending things several worlds away. It was in the the 1960's that the other German scientists, the Zeppelin scientists, came into prominence. Although zeppelins were found to be impractical for warfare in the First World War and for passenger service in the 1930's, for those brave enough to fly them, hydrogen-filled zeppelins proved to be the perfect tool for ultra-long range exploration. This is when our knowledge of the worlds really expanded and many previously unknown colonies from the 16th-19th century were rediscovered.
We now classify the worlds into a series of rings away from our own world. Each world is classified by the Cardinal direction is away from our world and the number of rings out it is. Although there is some overlap between rings, in general, the dominate land animals of the 2nd ring, all migrated from our world.
The 3rd ring, is dominated by flightless birds.
The 4th ring, is dominated by flightless ptersaurs. Although the general public tends to believe that Pterasaurs are a kind of dinosaur because they were prominent in our world at the same time as the dinosaurs, Pterasaurs are actually slightly more distantly related to dinosaurs than birds are.
The 5th Ring, is home to a bewildering variety of life forms that crawled onto land in separate events from each other and our own amphibian ancestors. Their common ancestors with our own, were aquatic animals of various kinds.
The next three rings are dominated by insects.
Beyond the 8th ring, the next ten rings are complete devoid of land animals or plants, other than microbial life. However, fish eating birds, pterasaurs and flying insects are to be found making nests on every world, out to the 17th ring. Still, as we go further from our world, the fish get more primitive, with only microbes living in the seas of the 18th ring.
I feel need at this time to mention the controversial theory of Plate Tectonics. Although the geology and spread of life within out own world would seem to support the theory that the continents have moved through time. The way life has spread to the 2nd Ring, would seem to support the theory that the continents have always been in there current position. But if you look at the position of the continents on the rings, each ring appears to have it continents in a position as the would have been in our world in the past, if our continents had moved into their current position. The further from our world you go, the further into the past the continents seem to go. The continents of each world within a ring are in identical positions with each other. However, beyond the 20th Ring, differences begin to appear between the worlds of a ring. These differences get more pronounced to further out you go.
Recently, we have discovered microbial life on distant worlds. Life that has a different origin than our own. The nearest of these worlds is ESEEEEEE42.“
Back at the Dragon Camp
When Gaea finished executing the Nott član, Luna’s muffled moaning at her personal history changing died down. Being immobilized by a Full Body Bind meant Luna could only move her eyes. But in spite of being unable to move her mouth, Luna found that if it hurt badly enough, she could still use her vocal chords.
“Now then, Priamenedesatyr, it’s time for you to pay for the life of that girl you had me spare . . .” commanded Gaea, as she walked back to her tipi. expecting Primen to follow her.
Primen had traded a night of Relieving Gaea’s Needs for sparing the life of Lantura, sister of Vesava. Now it was time to pay the price. All night Primen worked of the woman who had murdered him, Relieving her Needs over and over. The next morning, it took great strength of will to tie Primen to a post and silence him in a Full Body Bind.
After the weez-urs cleaned their captives, and Iga was taunted again, it was time to cull the Olivander Clan. This Clan had hived off of Luna’s Abraxas Clan and many of it’s women were Weeches, daughters of Luna or Ayla. But there were some muggle members who did not survive The Rock.
Luna gave off a muffled groan when Roov, son of Ruža died. Now that Octavian would never be born, Mark Antony’s Roman Empire was slightly different from the original one. Especially the succession struggle between the grandsons of Cleopatra with Ceasar and the Grandsons of Mark Antony both before and with Cleopatra.
After them, it was the Peverell član’s turn.
When Zariz awoke, he was already tied to a post and in a Full Body Bind. He hadn’t been given the antidote to the Draught of Living Death until after he’d bounced off The Rock. Now, only able to move his eyes, he was helpless to save them as first their children, then Đuča and Lorka were dropped head first on to The Rock. Đuča’s son Panđruč was the only survivor.
Now it was time for the Quirell član to face The Rock. They had recently hived off of the Everarđ član. Two of them survived.
Now that she had finished culling the captured clans of the Clanluna, Gaea returned to her oldest daughter.
“I trust this demonstration over the past few days was not lost on you,” said Gaea. “You have two choices . . . Join with me . . . or die!”
“I’ll . . . I’ll join you,” said Wilmara.
“Good! Good! Now . . . I don’t want you rebelling again. So I’m going to insist that you give me an unbreakable Oath,” said Gaea.
Wilmara nodded and Gaea released her. Reaching to her belt, Gaea gave her daughters Artemiseleneris and Aphrodionephthys back their wands.
“I’m going to need you to bind the Oath, Artemiseleneris,” announced Gaea, before grasping Wilmara’s hand. “Say: I swear on my Magic not to attack my mother, Gaea, nor to make any attempt to release Luna as long as I live.”
Wilmara repeated the Oath and her sister touched her wand to their hands binding the Oath.
“Excellent! Now let’s get you a wand! Bring me the bag of wands,”
commanded Gaea.
One of the weez-urs went into a tipi and returned with a large leather bag.
“I’m not certain which one is your’s,” admitted Gaea. Why don’t you try summoning it?”
Wilmara nodded and intoned as she held her hand over the opening of the bag: “Acio my wand!”
The bag shook and rattled a bit before (to her great surprise) Wilmara’s wand slapped into her hand.
Suddenly, there was a low rumble.
When everyone began looking around to try to find the source of the rumbling, Wilmara shoved the weez-ur and grabbed the bag of wands before apparating away with a:
Pop!
------Wilmara Al (19) ¼ Clan (dirty-blonde hair, Clan-brown eyes) daughter of Mara, Weech, Adopted by Cruna, N: C,T,D,R, Cr,
Gaea – (34) Spirit Other, (dirty blonde hair, sea-blue eyes) formerly Mara, Luna’s Daughter, clanluna, Weech, Wilmar’s ex-Mate, living Goddess of the Sungaea, Head of Dragon Camp. Clan-Death-Cursed
------Aphrodionephthys (12) - Other, daughter of Mara/Gaea, Weech
------ (9) – Other cave-elf, daughter of Mara/Gaea, Weech

As a result, S2's Americas, as well as SW2's Eurasia and Africa are dominated by strange monotremes, marsupials, and multituberculates that are odder that anything found on our Australia. In addition, the birds of the Southern worlds are of Antarctic descent. The large land animals of S2's Eurasia/Africa, as well as the Americas of SE2 are descended from a single Multituberculate Mammal species that somehow managed to cross S2's Atlantic Ocean.
The Arctic ice prevented exploration by ship, so we didn't really begin exploring that area until the early 20th century. Three families of animals have been particularly successful there: Polar Bears, seals and Walruses. All three had spread from our world's Arctic region to the similar climes in E2, NE2, N2, NW2, and W2. But it is on N2 where the three geni have evolved into a variety of animals to dominate every climate in N2, as well as the Americas of NE2 and Eurasia/Africa of NW2. In Addition, N2's Australia is dominated by a variety of cetaceans (relatives of dolphins and whales) that have returned to the land.
Like the Southern Worlds, the continents of the Northern worlds form a mirror image of our own world. But the biggest surprise on N2 was the people. Apparently during the last Ice Age people had wandered across the ice from Europe to N2's Europe. When we first discovered the inhabitants of they had reached a late classical level of technology with their version of the Roman Empire dominating the Baltic and North seas. The fact that a race of blonde haired, blue eyed people had started their civilization in their world's version of Scandinavia was of great value to Nazi propagandists during the Second World War. But we now know that their language is equally closely or distantly related to German, and Hebrew, and Chinese and Basque.
After the Second World War there was a bit of a scramble by both the Soviet Union and the United States to acquire German Scientists. The efforts of the Rocket Scientists proved to be of great benefit to exploration. However, due to the constant pull of gravity and the limits imposed by fuel weight. Rockets proved only practical for sending things several worlds away. It was in the the 1960's that the other German scientists, the Zeppelin scientists, came into prominence. Although zeppelins were found to be impractical for warfare in the First World War and for passenger service in the 1930's, for those brave enough to fly them, hydrogen-filled zeppelins proved to be the perfect tool for ultra-long range exploration. This is when our knowledge of the worlds really expanded and many previously unknown colonies from the 16th-19th century were rediscovered.
We now classify the worlds into a series of rings away from our own world. Each world is classified by the Cardinal direction is away from our world and the number of rings out it is. Although there is some overlap between rings, in general, the dominate land animals of the 2nd ring, all migrated from our world.
The 3rd ring, is dominated by flightless birds.
The 4th ring, is dominated by flightless ptersaurs. Although the general public tends to believe that Pterasaurs are a kind of dinosaur because they were prominent in our world at the same time as the dinosaurs, Pterasaurs are actually slightly more distantly related to dinosaurs than birds are.
The 5th Ring, is home to a bewildering variety of life forms that crawled onto land in separate events from each other and our own amphibian ancestors. Their common ancestors with our own, were aquatic animals of various kinds.
The next three rings are dominated by insects.
Beyond the 8th ring, the next ten rings are complete devoid of land animals or plants, other than microbial life. However, fish eating birds, pterasaurs and flying insects are to be found making nests on every world, out to the 17th ring. Still, as we go further from our world, the fish get more primitive, with only microbes living in the seas of the 18th ring.
I feel need at this time to mention the controversial theory of Plate Tectonics. Although the geology and spread of life within out own world would seem to support the theory that the continents have moved through time. The way life has spread to the 2nd Ring, would seem to support the theory that the continents have always been in there current position. But if you look at the position of the continents on the rings, each ring appears to have it continents in a position as the would have been in our world in the past, if our continents had moved into their current position. The further from our world you go, the further into the past the continents seem to go. The continents of each world within a ring are in identical positions with each other. However, beyond the 20th Ring, differences begin to appear between the worlds of a ring. These differences get more pronounced to further out you go.
Recently, we have discovered microbial life on distant worlds. Life that has a different origin than our own. The nearest of these worlds is ESEEEEEE42.“
Back at the Dragon Camp
When Gaea finished executing the Nott član, Luna’s muffled moaning at her personal history changing died down. Being immobilized by a Full Body Bind meant Luna could only move her eyes. But in spite of being unable to move her mouth, Luna found that if it hurt badly enough, she could still use her vocal chords.
“Now then, Priamenedesatyr, it’s time for you to pay for the life of that girl you had me spare . . .” commanded Gaea, as she walked back to her tipi. expecting Primen to follow her.
Primen had traded a night of Relieving Gaea’s Needs for sparing the life of Lantura, sister of Vesava. Now it was time to pay the price. All night Primen worked of the woman who had murdered him, Relieving her Needs over and over. The next morning, it took great strength of will to tie Primen to a post and silence him in a Full Body Bind.
After the weez-urs cleaned their captives, and Iga was taunted again, it was time to cull the Olivander Clan. This Clan had hived off of Luna’s Abraxas Clan and many of it’s women were Weeches, daughters of Luna or Ayla. But there were some muggle members who did not survive The Rock.
Luna gave off a muffled groan when Roov, son of Ruža died. Now that Octavian would never be born, Mark Antony’s Roman Empire was slightly different from the original one. Especially the succession struggle between the grandsons of Cleopatra with Ceasar and the Grandsons of Mark Antony both before and with Cleopatra.
After them, it was the Peverell član’s turn.
When Zariz awoke, he was already tied to a post and in a Full Body Bind. He hadn’t been given the antidote to the Draught of Living Death until after he’d bounced off The Rock. Now, only able to move his eyes, he was helpless to save them as first their children, then Đuča and Lorka were dropped head first on to The Rock. Đuča’s son Panđruč was the only survivor.
Now it was time for the Quirell član to face The Rock. They had recently hived off of the Everarđ član. Two of them survived.
Now that she had finished culling the captured clans of the Clanluna, Gaea returned to her oldest daughter.
“I trust this demonstration over the past few days was not lost on you,” said Gaea. “You have two choices . . . Join with me . . . or die!”
“I’ll . . . I’ll join you,” said Wilmara.
“Good! Good! Now . . . I don’t want you rebelling again. So I’m going to insist that you give me an unbreakable Oath,” said Gaea.
Wilmara nodded and Gaea released her. Reaching to her belt, Gaea gave her daughters Artemiseleneris and Aphrodionephthys back their wands.
“I’m going to need you to bind the Oath, Artemiseleneris,” announced Gaea, before grasping Wilmara’s hand. “Say: I swear on my Magic not to attack my mother, Gaea, nor to make any attempt to release Luna as long as I live.”
Wilmara repeated the Oath and her sister touched her wand to their hands binding the Oath.
“Excellent! Now let’s get you a wand! Bring me the bag of wands,”
commanded Gaea.
One of the weez-urs went into a tipi and returned with a large leather bag.
“I’m not certain which one is your’s,” admitted Gaea. Why don’t you try summoning it?”
Wilmara nodded and intoned as she held her hand over the opening of the bag: “Acio my wand!”
The bag shook and rattled a bit before (to her great surprise) Wilmara’s wand slapped into her hand.
Suddenly, there was a low rumble.
When everyone began looking around to try to find the source of the rumbling, Wilmara shoved the weez-ur and grabbed the bag of wands before apparating away with a:
