Edward Cullen

Edward Cullen is the son of Carlisle and Camillia Cullen making him a member of House Cullen through his father, and House Oppenheim through his late mother Camillia. Edward is the twin brother of Blake Cullen who is his only sibling and has become intertwined in the dark side of society in a way that has led her to be nearly completely seperate from the rest of her house. Edward is married to Tanya Cullen of House Denali with whome he has been married with since the two got married after he had returned from Hogwarts and somewhat rebuilt himself in the eyes of the nobility of Lucerne. With Tanya Cullen he has two children in the form of Camillia, and Edmund Cullen of which his daughter Camillia is the same age as his friend Williams daughter Ashley and they have grown up together as she is being educated by Bella Swan, while Edmund is born in the last moments of their marriage and now lives with his mother and her new husband in Hearthglen.

Edward Cullen is a level four Magi sensitive human being that is a controller of the Conjuration Family of Magi. Edward Cullen had a lot of difficulty with his Magi over the years and was sent to Hogwarts as a result of him on several occasions creating imaginary friends that he would talk too, and when his family noticed he was sent away.

Edward spent his early life being the moral compass for his group of friends and had his life ripped from him when his father sent him to Hogwarts, and he was forced to leave the Lucernian academy. In Hogwarts he would become extremely close with Hilary Swift, and this relationship would continue when he returned from Hogwarts. Edward joined his best friend Andrew Lovie as he engaged in The Journey, and he was always near his friend making sure he was safe. Following the rise of Andrew Lovie, Edward Cullen has become a member of Andrew's personal Shadow council as well as joining the Order of the Blue Dragon. In the Order of the Blue Dragon he has taken the Azure Lord position over Conjuration, and in this position he is of great importance to the order. He was important during the Invasion of Westbridge as he led a large portion of the Order of the Blue Dragon alongside his bestfriend Hilary Swift as they took complete control over the northern gate from the defenders. His return to peace in Lucerne and joining into the politics of the Shadow Council ended when at the end of the Rise of Lucerne he became embroiled in the conflict in Lucerne between the moralistic Medivh and the growingly insane Arthas Menathil. He came to believe Medivh after spending time thinking about the situationa and would travel to Lucerne where he discovered to his horror that William had travelled into the mountains in order to meet with the dragons. Believing his friend was risking his life and he was proving worthless he created a plan which ended with he, Tanya, Hilary, and Taylor travelling to Lorderon to uncover what Arthas was really doing. He discovered a massive cultist holding under the city and would be forced to defeat the cultists, but was able to warn the forces of Lucerne to late that Arthas was lost to madness. Following the exodus of Arthas and his failure to have stop him Edward would return to Lucerne a somewhat broken man, who watched as Jasper, and Leven had completely replaced him as the best friends of William while Emmett had taken control of House McCarty and was throwing himself into that. Edward believed he needed to do something to change things, and thus he would travel into the north with his wife, Hilary and her husband in a quest to find Lord Voldermorte and finally end him once and for all. Arriving in the north following the exodus of the Starkes when they were going to Bolten for the war there and thus Edward arrived in the First Lucerne-Tevinter War and in this war he found a front that was very much in flux, and he and Hilary worked hard to destabilize areas of strength for the Deatheaters. Edward Cullen realizing the flux of the war was turning in their favor infiltrated the powerful Kingdom of Antiva as an individual he called "The Voice". As the Voice he begin an uprising amongst the peasents that gained momentum and created a huge problem for the large army of Tevinter of whom found their supply lines captured and taking hit and run attacks constantly. Edward would make arrangments with the King of Antiva of whom told him that he would side with him and sign papers of alliance between Lucerne and Antiva. Going to meet with the King he arrived at the castle to find that every single person in the castle was dead including the King, and despite warnings from Hilary he continued into the throne room where he found Lord Voldermorte surrounded by the bodies of the royal family and many of his men. Edward and Hilary would try and fight there way out but at the final moments before they were to escape Edward was stunned by a spell and Hilary was captured trying to pull him over the fence to where their horses awaited them. Following this he is held captive by Lord Voldermorte of whom does not disclose to the Lucernians that Edward is the Voice and simply attempts to ransom off the voice to them leading to a return letter from Lucerne stating they will not pay the ransom to a monster. At the onset of the Battle of Antiva the captive Edward Cullen is brought forth where he is held in front of the army by Draco Malfoy of whom walks him near the middle of the field and declares that the cost of spying is death, and then slits Edwards throat to the horror of Eddard Starke and the other Lucernian commanders.

Characteristics
Edward Cullen has gained fame, and noteriety due to his very public friendship with the royal Prince Andrew Lovie. This friendship has put him at the forefront of the Kingdom of Lucerne, but he has handled the attention very well, and is completely focused on protecting his best friend until he falls trying.

Personality
Edward is usually described as brooding and stubborn, but also very kind and compassionate. William also describes him as charming, polite, and determined. He easily dazzles human females with his beauty, scent and body, and persuades them to do his bidding.

Early History
"I think for a child to lose a mother in that kind of way it takes a toll on you. My sister has been a mess for most of her life over the fact that our father blames use for her death. It took me a long time to realize that I can be sad, and blame myself all I want to but no matter what I do its not going to change what happened. It won't bring my mother back to blame myself, and even if I never knew her, and my father doesn't ever validate this I still believe that she wouldn't have ever wanted us to blame ourselves."

-Edward Cullen

When Edward was born he was a twin to his sister Blake Cullen, and alongside this he was forced accept that he along with his sister were responsible for the death of their mother. He grew up never seeing his father and this made him feel as if the reason for his absence was the way in which he was born.

When Tanya Cullen was fourteen she first met Edward Cullen and the two bonded quickly and as time went on they became more and more attracted to eachother and engaged eachother sexually, but in the beggining their was another young man named Poldi Kilgor of House Kilgor who was also interested heavily in Tanya. Tanya was more and more growing in love with Edward but before she could completely give herself to Edward he was forced to go to Hogwarts school of Magi by his parents after his Magi abilities became more and more known. With Edward gone the situation between Tanya, and Poldi started into romance but Tanya was never able to completely give herself to Poldi as her heart wasn't in the relationship. After only a few months of being together Tanya ended things with Poldi, and they went there seperate ways. While Edward was in Hogwarts Tanya became a simple noble daughter and she absolutely refused to marry anyone that her father attempted to find for her as she truly wanted to wait for the return of Edward so that the two could finally be together.

As time went on Edward's father Carlisle Cullen became very worried that Edward would end up the way of so many other children or men who were found to have Magi powers and then killed because of it. In order to help his son control his Magi abilities he went about finding solutions that would save his son. In a lucky meeting Timone Swift met Carlisle Cullen and together they decided to send their children to Hogwarts where they could learn for a time how to control their powers before they returned home again. Carlisle sent a letter to Hogwarts asking them if they would accept his son along with Hilary Swift from House Swift, and then he kept silent as he waited weeks for the letter to return. When the letter did return he silently sent word to his friend Timone, and then went to find Edward, and when he wasn't at home he immediatly knew he would be wherever his best friends were, and he was proven right when he found Edward hanging out with William, Jasper, Emmett, and Alice. When Edward, and the group saw him coming they knew that something was wrong by how emotional the usually reserved Carlisle appeared. Carlisle tried to get Edward to come with him so he could explain to him in private but he refused to leave his friends and thus in front of his best friends he was told that he would be leaving for Hogwarts. To say the group took it badly was an understatement with William nearly attacking Carlisle for betraying his best friend, the situation only calmed down when Carlisle left the group with the grenade that he had just thrown in their mists, and the knowledge that he would be leaving in a week.



Leaving
See Also : Edward and Hilary Conversations

Edward now having said goodbye to his bestfriends, the love of his life and the entire House Cullen he boarded the wagon and headed towards Brill where he was told he would be picking up Hilary Swift who would be coming with him. When Hilary saw the wagon arrive that was going to take her to Hogwarts she cried and begged her family to not send her away, but her parents again tried to explain to her that if she didn't leave then there enemies were going to have her executed. Hilary was still distraught but as she cried on the front yard of their estate she felt a hand on her shoulder, and when she turned around she saw a young boy similar age to her. The boy kneeled down to her level and whispered to her the words that would carry her while she was away.

"You and I don't have the easiest of lives. But niether do our families. We have to do this for them. I don't know you, and you don't know me but take my hand and let's do everything we can to make sure we do our families proud."

-Edward Cullen

Taking his hand she followed Edward onto the wagon, and while her family went inside crying but still believing that she may have just found her future husband the two of them spent the weeks of riding the wagon and stopping in towns talking, and getting to know eachother. The two of them became closer then any relationship that Hilary had ever had, and she rivalled his love for his best friends, and his Tanya back in Lucerne. When they arrived in Hogwarts they were greeted by the awaiting members of the upper leadership of Hogwarts, who saw in these young children both the chance to teach but also to create a relationship with two powerful houses inside the Kingdom of Lucerne.



Arrival
As the two got started in their first year they were both sorted into the Ravenclaw house, and because of this they continued to remain the best of friends, and went so far in making sure that all of the classes they had were the same. Edward and Hilary were very close, and for Edward this allowed him to be around someone that he truly enjoyed as opposed to the endless girls that threw themselves at him in the hopes of getting to have sex with the foreign prince that was so handsome. This led to gossip throughout their house that the two were lovers and this caused many of the girls of Ravenclaw to turn against Hilary as many had their eyes on Edward. Edward was completely blind to these attacks, and instead of going to him Hilary decided to protect him from the attacks by simply pretending that they were in a relationship for months so that he could escape the constant badgering that she knew he hated.



Dangers
"I was at a crossroads in my time there. On one hand I was learning great knowledge that I knew would allow me to help my friends in Lucerne better. I was getting to spend quality time with Hilary in a way that I would never be able to again. But on the other hand there was a growing death count following this school like a plague."

-Edward Cullen

As the year came to a close the two begin to discover that Hogwarts may not be as safe as they had believed when a Basilisk ran rampant throughout Hogwarts and led to the deaths of several students before it was finally killed by Harry Potter. This event was utterly shocking to the members of Hogwarts but it was followed by violent attacks on several villages in the Hogwarts region which just went to highlight how dangerous the region had become. They decided not to scare their parents so they left this out of the letters that they sent to their families, and friends.



Euro Cup
"That European Cup was the first time that I'd seen so many different cultures all brought together in peace. In Lucerne such closeness was always shown to be a weakeness but as I watched everyone have a great time I questioned that for the first time in my life. I guess how it ended proved that Lucerne was right."

-Edward Cullen In their fourth year at Hogwarts Harry, his parents James and lilly Potter, the Weasley family (except Mrs. Weasley), and Hermione attended the Quidditch World Cup. At Stoatshead Hill, Edward Cullen and his best friend Hilary Swift, joined them. Once at the camp grounds, they met Ludo Bagman, Barty Crouch Sr. and his house-elf Winky, and many other Hogwarts students and their families, including Seamus Finnigan, Dean Thomas, Oliver Wood, and Draco Malfoy. They were able to see the match between the Kirin Tor, and Alcase teams up close, because Harry, the Weazly's, and Hermione had seats in the top box, thanks to a favour Mr. Weezly had done for Ludo Bagman. During the time watching the match Harry became silently jelous about the affection between Ron, and Hermione and this would be one of his first indications that their was something going on.

The Attack
The night after the match, while the Alcase's team's supporters were still celebrating, a group of black-cloaked, hooded figures held terrifying celebrations of their own by suspending the Muggle camp site manager and his family in air like twisted marionettes. On Mr. Weasley's orders, Harry fled into the woods near the camp site, along with Ron, Hermione, Fred, George, and Ginny. The group was separated in the woods, and in the chaos, Harry believed he had lost his wand. The trio ran into Draco Malfoy, and he all but told them that his father was among the cloaked wizards. Later, Harry learned that Barty Crouch Jr. had stolen his wand from his pocket. While in a clearing in the woods, Harry, Ron, and Hermione heard someone shout the incantation Morsmordre, casting the Dark Mark - a green skull with a snake protruding from its mouth like a tongue - into the sky. Although Harry did not immediately recognise its significance, he soon learned that the Dark Mark had evil implications. Then, Barty Crouch Sr., Amos Diggory, and other Ministry of Magic employees apparated into the clearing and began to question Harry, Ron, and Hermione about the Dark Mark. After Harry mentioned he had heard another voice conjure the Dark Mark, the Ministry employees searched the area and found the house-elf Winky unconscious in the bushes. Since Harry's wand was found in Winky's hand, Mr. Crouch fired her for shaming his family and disobeying his orders.

Goblet of Fire
Main Article : Triwizard Tournament



The Goblet of Fire would become the moment of divergence for the region of Hogwarts, and would bring about the destruction of the fake peace and the illusion was finally broken that Lord Voldermorte wanted peace for the lands of Hogwarts. Hermione was very close to Harry Potter so she was obviosly very close to the forefront of the Civil War as the forces of Lord Voldermorte and the forces of Hogwarts silently battled it out for victory. The lives of Hermione Granger and the rest of the Triumverate were still at this point quite idolistic as most of the wizard world of Hogwarts had no idea that Tom Malfoy had become the sadistic man that he had become. The first strikes against the realm of Hogwarts would come silently and it would all begin during the normal event hosted in Hogwarts called the Triwizard Tournament. For Edward Cullen he was beggining to become homesick, while his friend Hilary was beyond just wanting to go home, she was crying nearly every night, and only the excuse of the Triwizard tournament brought them any kind of peace.

At the Hogwarts start of term feast, Professor Dumbledore announced that Hogwarts would host the Triwizard Tournament, a recently-revived inter-school competition in which the Beauxbatons Academy of Magi, the Kirin Tor, and the Durmstrang Institute would also participate. The Beauxbatons were a school tended to and trained from the greatest Magi that the Kingdom of Alcase could find, while Durmstrang was a secret Magi school hidden in Hannover of The Empire. The Kirin Tor was the Magi fortress and organzition within the Kingdom of Lorderon, and the Kirin Tor sent the largest delegation led by Medivh. The delegation from Beauxbatons arrived in a large carriage pulled by Abraxan horses, and brought with them some thirty Magi, alongside some two hundred attendents. The delegation of Beauxbatons pupils was led by their Headmistress, Madam Olympe Maxime of whom had once trained at Hogwarts before using her long Numenorian lifespan to create the Beauxbatons Academy within Alcase. The Kirin Tor would arrive with some forty Magi and a force of some five hundred conventional forces, and would house themselves north of Hogwarts where they basically constructed a Magi tower that could store all their people.

Shortly after their arrival, the delegation from Durmstrang, under the watchful eye of their High master Professor Igor Karkaroff, arrived in a magical ship that could travel underwater. A feast to welcome the new arrivals was held in the Great Hall, where Professor Dumbledore introduced the other Tournament judges - Bartemius Crouch Sr, Vonded Forden, and Ludo Bagman - to the assembled students. After explaining the rules of the Tournament, Dumbledore unveiled both the Goblet of Fire and the Triwizard Cup to the assembled groups. Students would have until the start of the Halloween Feast the following day to enter their names. In agreement with the new rules regarding underage students entering the Tournament, Dumbledore drew an Age Line around the Goblet of Fire, of which concluded that only those over the age of fiteen could enter their names into the Goblet of Fire.

Chosen as Champion


During the Halloween Feast, Dumbledore presided over the selection of the Champions. Viktor Krum, from Durmstrang, was selected first, followed by Fleur Delacour of Beauxbatons. The Goblet selected Edward Cullen as the Hogwarts Champion, and Cerin Menathil was the only entree from the Kirin Tor and thus for this reason Cerin was selected easily by the Goblet of Fire. All four Champions left the Great Hall to receive further instructions. To the surprise of everybody, the Goblet spat out a fifth name, as Barty Crouch Jr had intended. Harry Potter, like the rest of the school, was shocked to hear his name called, and went to join the other Champions. After a heated debate, during which Karkaroff and Maxime questioned the motives of Dumbledore and the Ministry, since Hogwarts now had two Champions, it became clear that Harry must participate. Despite his not having entered his own name in the Goblet, the fact that his name had been entered and selected by the Goblet constituted a magical contract that bound him to compete. Even his age was not a real issue; the Age Line was only an effort to stop unprepared students entering and being killed. Traditionally, students as young as Harry had been allowed to compete in the Tournament.

Despite the secrecy surrounding the Triwizard Tournament, Lord Voldemort found out about it from Bertha Jorkins, a Hogwarts Magi of whome had been holidaying in Westbridge and had run into Peter Pettigrew at an inn. Pettigrew brought her before Voldemort, who, using Dark Magi, extracted from her mind information concerning the Tournament. He also learned that one of his faithful servants, Barty Crouch Jr, was still alive and under the Imperius Curse at his father's home, and this would eventually lead to his freeing. Armed with this information, Voldemort set a plan into motion. He freed Crouch Jr from the Imperius Curse, and ordered him to disguise himself as Alastor Moody, Hogwarts' new Defence Against the Dark Arts teacher. There, he would manipulate the Tournament as his Master commanded to achieve the Dark Lord's goal: the destruction of Harry Potter.



At some point, most likely during the night, Barty Crouch Jr, who was using Polyjuice Potion to pose as Professor Moody, bewitched the Goblet with a powerful Confundus Charm. He made the Goblet believe that there would be four schools entering the competition, then entered Harry Potter's name on a scrap of parchment under a false school name. Since no other entrant would be associated with the school, Harry's name was the only one that the Goblet could select. Thus because of this Harry was mysteriously chosen as a fourth competitor, even though he was under-age and never entered his name into the Goblet of Fire during the selection process. Many people did not believe Harry's story, including Ron believing this to be nothing but another attempt to gain fame. This caused extreme tension between the two friends. Hermione, on the other hand, "accepted his story without question," and assisted Harry in preparing for the Tournament by teaching him useful spells, such as the Summoning Charm, which Harry used in the first task of the Tournament. Besides the resentment that came from Ron for his enlistment, he also received a lot of backlash from the other students, who appeared unwilling to accept his story. Edward Cullen at this point was becoming very popular, as he was seen as Hogwarts true champion, and a generally nice guy. As Harry Potter became the subject of abuse his brother Neville attempted to stand up for him, but this only got him in more trouble and eventually Harry talked him into simply letting it go. It was during this time that Harry and Edward first came into becoming friends, as Edward didn't like the abuse he was taking, and tried desperately to get them to stop but Hilary convinced him to just keep his head down.

The First Test


The First Task of the Triwizard Tournament took place on 24 November, and the objective was to retrieve a golden egg that was being guarded by a dragon - the egg would be located within a clutch of real dragon eggs. Using Sleeping Draughts, a team of wizards, including Charlie Weasley, transported nesting mothers of different breeds to Hogwarts from a dragon sanctuary in Croatia. The dragons were hidden in the Forbidden Forest to stop students from discovering them. However, despite the secrecy, the Champions became aware of the task that faced them. Rubeus Hagrid, a great lover of dragons, innocently invited Olympe Maxime to watch the dragons with him, unaware that she would tell her Champion, Fleur Delacour, about them. Harry Potter was also present, again at Hagrid's request, to see what was in store for him, hidden under his Invisibility Cloak. Igor Karkaroff sneaked into the Forest to discover what was being hidden, and told his Champion, Viktor Krum. Medivh would tell Cerin Menathil after Medivh watched the Dragons in his mind using spells he had left all around the hidden forest believing that would be where anything would be hidden. Even though Edward Cullen was not present, he was told about the dragons from Harry, who considered it unfair that Edward should be the only one of the Champions who had no clue what the First Task was. After lunch on the day of the First Task, the Champions assembled in a tent near the arena that had been built specifically for the Task. In the tent, they were informed of the task ahead by Barty Crouch Sr. and Ludo Bagman, who would also be acting as judges alongside Professor Dumbledore, Madame Maxime, and Professor Karkaroff. Each Champion was required to dip their hand into a bag that contained miniature replicas of the various dragons they would face, and pull one out. They would then face the real version in the arena. In addition, each miniature dragon had a small number hung around its neck, indicating which order they would face in.

Fighting Dragons


Harry Potter drew the fiercest of them all, the Hungarian Horntail. On the advice of Crouch Jr (disguised as Professor Moody), he used a Summoning Charm to bring his Firebolt broomstick to him, and manoeuvred past the dragon to retrieve his egg. After the First Task, Harry and Viktor were tied for first place, with Edward, and Cerin tied for second, and Fleur in third. The champions were told that, the Golden egg they retrieved contained a clue on how to pass the Second Task. Without it, they had little chance of succeeding. After seeing how dangerous the task was, Ron, as well as the other students, made amends with Harry, with Ron telling him, "I reckon someone is trying to do you in." He managed to escape the first task with only an injured arm.

To prepare for the second task, Harry had to open the egg he won from the dragon, but every time he did, it screeched. His rescue from that particular problem came when Cedric paid him back with the information that he would figure it out if he "take[s] a bath" with the egg. Harry followed this advice; while in the bathroom, he had an uncomfortable exchange with Moaning Myrtle, and on the way back to the Common Room, he ran into Professors Snape and Moody. The latter informed Harry of Barty Crouch Sr's obsession with catching Dark Wizards. Harry did learn that the second task was going into the Black Lake to rescue "the thing they would miss most" from the Merpeople. Harry's new problem was that he had no idea of how to survive underwater for an hour. He got his answer in the form of gillyweed from Dobby, who had come to work at Hogwarts.

The Second Task


All five Champions assembled on the shore of the lake, and were told that they had one hour to retrieve that which had been stolen from them from the merpeople's village, and return. The Champions entered the water; Harry had to eat the gillyweed, which gave him gills to breathe underwater, and webbed hands and feet to allow him to swim faster. Both Fleur and Edward utilised the Bubble-Head Charm, while Viktor partially Transfigured himself into a shark. Cerin Menathil surrounded her entire body with a bubble and would move throughout in this protective shield. The five Champions headed through the lake to the village; although Fleur was forced to retire when she was attacked by grindylows. Harry reached the village first to find that the "item" that had been stolen from each Champion were people close to them. Placed in an enchanted sleep, then tied to the tail of a stone Merperson, were Harry's best friend, Ron Weasley, Hermione Granger, who had been Viktor's date to the Yule Ball, Edward's best friend Hilary Swift, and Fleur's younger sister, Gabrielle. Concerned for the safety of all the "hostages", Harry refused to just take Ron and go. Edward arrived shortly after and rescued Hilary, followed by Viktor. Viktor's partial Transfiguration had left him with the head of a shark, and he found it difficult to free Hermione. Harry passed him a sharp rock to cut her bonds with, then Viktor left carrying Hermione and headed for the surface. Cerin would wander the waters unable to find her way around as the Merpeople had become angry at her after she casually killed one of them, and surrounded her with mist leading to her wandering around for hours unable to know where she was.With no sign of Fleur, Harry made the decision to rescue the remaining hostages himself. Although the merpeople objected and tried to stop him, Harry managed to free himself, and dragged Ron, Perseiphone, and Gabrielle to the surface.

Back on shore, Harry learned from Ron that none of them had ever been in real danger, and that he should have just rescued him and got back as quickly as possible. Edward, the first Champion back, had arrived one minute outside of the one hour time limit, followed by Viktor in second place. Harry was third, and, because they did not finish Fleur, and Cerin were in last place. Despite finishing third, Merchieftainess Murcus informed Dumbledore that Harry arrived at the hostages first, and only his desire to see them all safe had stopped him from finishing first. After a conversation with his fellow judges, which included Percy Weasley deputising for the ill Mr. Crouch, it was decided that Harry, for showing moral fibre, would be awarded second place. Edward scored forty-seven points, Harry scored forty-five points, Viktor earned forty points, and Fleur and Cerin came last with twenty-five points. After the first two tasks, Harry and Edward were tied for first place, with Viktor second, with Cerin third, and Fleur fourth.

Yule Ball


A month before the final task, the Champions were shown the beginnings of the challenge. They were told the third and final task was going into a maze filled with obstacles to find the Triwizard Cup. On the way back to the castle Krum took Harry aside to ask him something. Thinking that this was something important, Harry went with him. Krum then asked Harry about his relationship with Hermione, in whom Krum was deeply interested. Harry told him that there was nothing between him and Hermione and that she was just a friend, but by this point he knew he was lying to himself. Edward went to the Yule Ball with Hilary, and after dancing all night they returned to his room where they would kiss romantically, but as they parted they both laughed realizing for sure that they were only to be friends. Cerin Menathil, and Medivh would begin at this point to become aware of dark Magi permenating the air, as Lord Voldermorte had entered the area in secret, and Cerin and Medivh came to believe that the person was Harry Potter after hearing the eventual news that he was seen walking madly out of a room.

To prepare for the final task, Harry, Ron, and Hermione used vacant classrooms to practise spells and jinxes. In Divination class between two of these study periods, Harry dozed off dreaming about Voldemort and left the classroom in a disturbing fashion. Rita Skeeter had witnessed this event, and she wrote on the day of the final task, that Harry was disturbed and dangerous. This did nothing to boost Harry's morale, but when he spent the day with Bill and Molly Weasley, they cheered him up when they also came to watch the final task as his substitute family. As the training continued Harry would continue to see signs of darkness in Draco Malfoy, and finally with time to deal with this he would confront the Malfoy heir and the two engaged in a fight which almost led to Harry killing Draco. Leaving Draco broken and wounded on the ground of the bathroom he erased his memory and told noone of the event, while also not getting information from Draco this was a terrible moment for Harry.

The Final Task


On 24 June, the Third Task was to navigate a maze grown on the Hogwarts Quidditch pitch. The maze was populated by various obstacles and dangers that each Champion had to overcome. Crouch Jr, as Professor Moody, was entrusted with placing the Triwizard Cup at the centre of the maze. While doing this, he enchanted the Cup to be a Portkey that would be activated by touch, and thus sealed the fate of Harry of whom they planned to win this event. Edward and Harry, tying for first place after two tasks, were to enter the maze first, followed by Viktor, and then Cerin, before Fleur entered last. The first Champion to successfully navigate the maze and reach the Cup would be declared the winner.

During the task, Edward encountered a Blast-Ended Skrewt, which he barely escaped from, but was able to use his Magi to deflect the fire bolts it sent at him before he finally killed it. Harry had to deal with a Boggart in the form of a Dementor, and overcame an odd golden mist which turned things upside-down. Crouch Jr, however, was leaving nothing to chance. Using Moody's magical eye, he watched events unfold in the maze, keeping the more dangerous obstacles out of Harry's path, while making sure to severly target Cerin and Edward of whom he knew to be the greater targets of getting to the end first. He also Stunned Fleur by ambushing her with thousands of weeds of which surronded her and pulled her inside the bushes where she was knocked out for the remainder of the final task. As Viktor accidently neared the end of the maze Crouch Jr would place the Imperius Curse on Viktor, and begin to use him as his personal force. He used Viktor to attack Edward with the Cruciatus Curse in order to clear Harry's path to the Cup, but Viktor couldn't defeat him and only managed to push him back away from the maze entrance and towards another way in.

Cerin would come across Viktor next, and when Cerin begin to soundly beat up on Viktor Crouch Jr would intervene by sending dozens of Giant Spiders at her which distracted her long enough for Viktor to begin targeting her. Harry encountered the Blast-Ended Skrewt that had attacked Edward, then heard Cerin being tortured, and rescued her by Stunning Viktor. Cerin and Harry parted company, and Harry had to answer a riddle from a sphinx to continue on into the maze, while Cerin had been poisoned by the spider and fell into a coma before being pulled into the bushes and losing the match but becoming safe. Edward and Harry joined forces to defeat another Giant Spider of whom was so large it tore down pieces of the maze ironically making it easier for them to reach the end of the maze, and after defeating the spider they both arrived at the Cup together. After an argument over who deserved to win more, they decided to take the Cup together, since it would still be a Hogwarts victory. Touching the Cup at the same moment, they activated it as a Portkey, and were transported out of the maze and into the graveyard. Following closely behind them was Viktor of whom touched the Porkey minutes later also entering into graveyard where he would be released from the Imperius Curse once touching it.

The Graveyard


The two had been transported to the graveyard in Little Hangleton, the Malfoy's family's final resting place, where Lord Voldemort was waiting. The two boys who had been on such a high from their success were now suddently in a graveyard surrounded by a series of robed men with clearly hostile intentions towards them. As the two wandered about the graveyard they were met with a loud shriek as Viktor would come through as well after following the residue left by the Porkey. As the three talked and learned that Viktor had been bewitched they became unsure if this was part of the tournament and this ws proven to them when Harry discovered the grave of a Malfoy. Tom Malfoy would appear alongside nearly a dozen of his deatheaters including Peter Petingrew, and would begin to berate Harry Potter for his stupidity. Edward of whome was the older of the two attempted to understand what was heppening but Tom Malfoy had no intention of entertaining Edward Cullen so he simply ignored him, and when he moved closer Viktor stood between them and Voldermorte struck him down with the killing curse. As Harry and Edward raised their wands Lord Voldermore would strike their wands away with Magi and then on his order, his servant Gragorix stunned Edward Cullen, and grabbed Harry.

First Face to Face


When Harry saw Tom Malfoy at first he was shocked because he knew of this man, and he knew of the influence that Tom held. After watching them knock Edward Cullen uncontious he became horrified that someone of his power would be after Harry, and this led him to beg to understand what was happening. At this point Tom believed he had won and thus he took time to explain to Harry what his plans were, and told him of why he was being ambushed. Following this angry exchange Lord Voldermorte attacked Harry emotionally and the two had a heated argument before finally Tom raised his wand. Harry and Voldemort engaged in a brief duel, but their wand cores connected and created the effect known as Priori Incantatem, and the "echoes" of Voldemort's past victims emerged from Voldemort's wand. They helped Harry to escape from Voldemort by distracting the Dark Lord, giving him enough time to reach Edward Cullen's knocked out body and the diseased Viktor, then Summon the Portkey to him and return them to Hogwarts.

Returning to Hogwarts with Edward Cullen, and the corpse of Viktor, Harry was promptly whisked away from the crowds by Crouch Jr, still in the disguise of Professor Moody. While the assembled crowd learned what happened in the graveyard from the waking form of Edward Cullen, Hermione realised that something was amiss with Moody, since she believed that Moody would never have taken Harry away from the tragic scene. In his office, Crouch Jr started to question Harry on what had happened, and how it felt to stand in the Dark Lord's presence. Unnerved by Moody's seeming adoration of Voldemort - something that went against everything he knew about Moody - Harry was rescued by Hermione who in her panic at seeing Harry in any kind of danger had convinsed Professors Dumbledore, McGonagall, and Snape to follow her, and from the outside of the door they listened to the argument so that they knew for a fact that their was bad things going on. The effects of Crouch Jr's Polyjuice Potion wore off, since, in the excitement, he had neglected to take it at the proper time to maintain his cover. Crouch Jr was questioned under the effects of Veritaserum, and he revealed Lord Voldemort's plan to resurrect himself, and Crouch Jr's involvement in getting Harry to the graveyard.

Aftermath

 * "Viktor was murdered by Lord Voldemort... The Ministry of Magic does not wish me to tell you this.. It is my belief, however, that the truth is generally preferable to lies, and that any attempt to pretend that Viktor died as the result of an accident, or some sort of blunder of his own, is an insult to his memory."

Return to Lucerne
Edwards return was only weeks before the incoming removal of Alice which would be a massive moment. Edward had grown up in the year he had been gone, and what he discovered in his friends was something he didn't think he was going to find. With Edward back William and Amber spent a lot of the time apart, and without Andrew by her side Amber was increasingly threatened by Bill Lovie who wanted her gone in the same moments that he removed Alice.

Edwards return sent the group into a tailspin as Edward had before been there moral compass and thus without him Jasper, and Andrew had become increasingly immoral but with him back he attempted to bring them back to what they were. This conflict between the group slowly worked itself out but for a time Jasper and Andrew refused to even talk to Edward for suggesting they had become different then when they left, and poor Emmett didn't know who to choose so for a period he was all by himself.

Amber Heard II.
Main Article : Amber Heard II.



Her early time in the academy was filled with learning as she attempted to honor her family by gaining the most out of the experiance as she possibly could. She had been placed into all of William's classes, but despite her obvious interest in him, she was kept away by the bullying of the other girls that seemed to hate her, and the continued relationship of William with several of the same girls. Amber though was falling into a very deep crush on William and despite the constant abuse she took from the girl students of which much of this was led by Britney Hemsworth of whom saw her as a major threat to her she continued to attempt to get to know Andrew. Britney during this time was causing a lot of problems for William and his personal life, and because of this he was growing more sad, and Amber noticed this which made her see an even deeper side of him that few people noticed as they were looking for other things with him. Outside of the Shadow Council the only people that he seemingly truly trusted were those such as Marcel Lovie II., Hanna, and Aria Arryan, and Emma Bell of whom were also members of his family, and this number decreased further after the departure of Hanna, and Aria Arryn from the city due to the silent menipulation of Bill Lovie. Even as Britney was pushed from the city the simple fact dawned on Amber that he didn't even notice that she didn't arrive at class anymore, and the usually jovial young man was constantly filled with malaise over the things that hung over his life.

Bill Intervenes


Despite the fact that both of them were attracted to eachother in an extremely strong way, for William the loose ends of Britney Hemsworth, and Leven Martell, alongwith with the arguements with Alice meant that he was depressed, and felt vulnerable at this point. This vulnerability meant that he didn't feel up to corupting a girl that he for whatever reason felt different about then many of the other suitors for his bed. When Bill saw that she and Andrew were not immediatly coming together he went to William and subtly asked him what he thought of Amber Heard, and when he saw his young prince blush he knew that something was there. When he tried to push William on his hesitence to seal the act with her, his son clammed up and the conversation ended without any real responce but Bill had in his own mind finally found the young women that would give his son a child. Amber Heard was nearly as good a choice as Britney as she was a blood relative of the ruling House Arryn through her mother, and this meant that she was someone who would further the alliances of the crown. Bill knew that for whatever reason his son wasn't moving at the speed he usually did and for this reason he decided to intervene at the school, when he had the teachers create numerous group projects of which all combined Andrew and Amber working together in very sexualized assignments.



The projects begin as simply normal projects that students at the academy did together, and these projects drove the two together into a deeper friendship at first. This friendship helped William to push himself through the depression that he felt about so many bad things in his life, and Amber was the first person even above Alice that he actually verbalized to how much he missed Edward. William at this time was very sad over the numerous arguments that he was having with both Jasper, and his beloved sister Alice and because of this their friendship was allowed to blossom in a scenario that allowed for the usually sexual William to take his time and actually feel something for the girl in front of him. As the two became more and more inseperable the time came where they had a school affair which led to them being forced to anwser questions about their first life experiances. When the question appeared about who their first kisses had been with she confirmed that she had never kissed anyone, and at this realization he couldn't resist anymore.



When the too broke apart something had changed between the two. The friendship that they had built this moment around remained but the chemistry and sexual tension that had always been there increased to the point that when they walked back he couldn't believe it when he held her hand all the way back to the academy. After this it didn't take long before Amber and William began sexually intimate. When this became clear to everyone around them it became nearly common knowledge that the prince was in love with a girl, and everyone from the commoner farming in Brill to the noble in Lucerne Hold came to obsess over this girl that may have finally tamed the playboy prince. It wasn't until he had invited her to dinner with his family that the true scope of the relationship came to be realized by the one that may have mattered most in the form of Alice. and not long after that the usually playboy Andrew settled into a true relationship with Amber Heard. The two of them grew much closer then Andrew did with Britney Hemsworth and in this way the two were truly in love though its true to say that Andrew took it for granted.

The Winter Ball


One of the annual traditions of the Lucernian Academy was the Winter's Ball, and for the two years previous this years William had brought his sister Alice as his date of which he had pretended was an act to melt the girls hearts but in fact it had more to due with the fact that she was younger and without the invitation wouldn't have gone with him of which meant that he wouldn't have gone and his father would have lost his mind if he didn't. In the year previous William and Alice had first got into their arguments as he had arrived with Alice bit shortly after this Britney Hemsworth had taken his eye, and had been able to covinse him to go around with her. During this time as Alice had remained alone she had been the source of many jokes from some of Britney's friends of whom Britney had pushed into this as she attempted to push Alice away from William knowing how strong her influence was over William. This year because of their fighting being particularlly bad, and the fact that William was for the first time actually in a real relationship he didn't invite her, and on the eve of the dance it appeared that Alice wasn't going to be coming.



William and Amber would go to a dinner where Amber hoped Alice would be and thus she would convinse the two siblings to talk through their problems, but as she arrived she saw that it was only William, and his aunt and uncle with no sign of Alice. When Amber wondered where Alice was William would tell her that his father had sent her away to Nortburg for a few days as Alice had not wanted to go to dinner with William as angry as she was. Scolded by his aunt Catherine for saying such a mean thing about Alice he was visably angry by the fact that Alice had seemingly ditched him and convinsed his father to send her away for a few days. In fact the truth was that Bill realized that they were fighting and had conspired to attempt to make it worse by having Alice sent to Nortburg with Michelle Trachtenburg where he hoped William would be unable to forgive her after she returned. At this knowledge it became clear to Amber that she could no longer sit on the sidelines and wait for either Alice, or William to make the first move, and thus she went to Alice a girl that she only knew through the legends of Alice Lovie, and a girl that clearly held the heart of the man she loved with everything in her.

She went to the Sky Towers on the night that she knew William was going to be staying with Emmett, and when she arrived she told the guard on duty that she wished to see Alice, and knowing who Amber was she was allowed inside without much questioning, and she made her way to Alice's room. Draco Highmore would accompany her up the stairs of the Cloud Tower and though she had been up this pathway many times she felt scared beyond anytime before as she was going to confront the great love of her lovers life. When she arrived on her floor she could hear the sounds of crying and when she entered Alice's room she found her curled in the corner holding onto a bear as if it was the last thing on Earth.Upon hearing Amber enter the room Alice immediately attempted to hide the bear but it was clear to both girls that Amber had seen it, so in the first real communication between the two Amber asked what the significance of the bear was. Alice told her it was a bear that Andrew had given her, and that for her it basically was the one constant reminder of how much her brother loved her. Alice would stare at the bear which was nothing of any great quality but for Alice the bear meant everything. Realizing in that moment how much Alice loved her brother she would talk Alice into believing that she wanted Alice and William to get back together in the way they had been in the past. Alice would only believe her after much convincing as she had watched William's last real girlfriend in Britney Hemsworth spend much of her time actively attempting to weaken the relationship between William and Alice. Once Amber had convinced her though Alice and Amber came together and talked it all through, and by the time they were done Alice was ready to make the first move.


 * Alice_Lovie-4.png

For William during this time he remained by the side of Amber, and Emmett of whom was very uncomfortable during this time as he was forced to both choose between his best friends, and at the same was being forced to go to the dance with Lauren Oakheart of whom he hated, and was only there to get a chance at William. Jasper was completely alone at this point and had as said previously even pushed away Emmett, and despite his reservations and attempts to get her away from him, Alice had remained the only one willing to be around him in his depression over his friendship with William crumbling. Alice came to him with the idea that the time was now for them all to get back together, and that the only way it could work was if he invited her as his date. Jasper at this point was a leper amongst the girls of the school because of what he had done to Kristen, and Blake and the fact that noone wanted to upset the prince so he relunctantly said yes to her proposal. Arriving at the ball everyone who was anyone in the academy was their and as William, Amber, Lauren, and Emmett arrived they made their way to their table and prepared to spend the night enjoying eachother's company. The quiet table would be interupted when they found that the two empty chairs at their table were set up for Jasper, and Alice by the two of them arriving at the table and in an act of bravery they both sat down.



Seeing them both sit down, William shook his head before getting up from the table followed quickly from behind by everyone at the table outside of Lauren who had no idea what was going on. When they finally caught up with him outside he broke down and said he couldn't take it anymore how bad he felt all the time, and he didn't know how to move forward anymore. As the group watched the rock of the group break down Alice lunged forward and took him into a hug which the two maintained for sometime before the whole group begin talking through the problems of the the past. Everyone got everything off their chest that had been bothering them for so long that it had built up into something horrible, and as they talked through it they were all finally able to move past the crimes of the past, and accept that they all needed eachother. As the tension begin to get better, and bonds were reborn somewhat it was a cough from behind them that brought their attention to Edward who had returned from Hogwarts.



Following the Winter Ball and the return of Edward Cullen the relationship was mainly fixed between William, and Alice and this caused an increase in the relationship of Amber and Alice as the two were now around each other all the time due to their shared time with William. On the days that Andrew and Alice couldn't go down to Lucerne proper on their adventures Andrew begin to even take Amber Heard who had a silent enjoyment for taking part in the adventures, but even beyond that she just wanted to spend time with the prince that had her heart. The two would take their little swords and journey down into the city, and unlike on times when he went with Alice the times were more filled with silent contemplation on top of the roofs of buildings they came to enjoy climbing. The two became quite open in their romance as this came to pass, and although Andrew still went with Alice whenever she was able, there wasn't such a deep sadness that he was going with someone other then Alice the way there was when he tried to take other girls he had been involved with. Their was no jealously between Alice and Amber, and she came to enjoy spending time with Amber on a level that had never even been contemplated between Alice and Andrew's previous girlfriends. As time went on the adventures of Amber, and Andrew took on a different turn as Andrew had become interested in seeing the caves of Lucerne proper and he silently knew that if he told Alice about that then she wouldn't let him go because he might get hurt in there. Instead he told Amber that he, Jasper, and Emmett were going there and that he would miss her while they were gone, and while she and he became intimate before he left he forced her to promise him that she wouldn't come and she relunctantly promised him.



Mathew Clegane

Edward and Mathew's hatred is now legendary but at the time they didn't know eachtoher and it would be their interaction that would create the hatred. This hatred begin when during his time at the Lucernian Academy he flirted openly with Blake Cullen to a point that Edward eventually told him to step back from her and his arrogance made him at first believe that this person was nothing compared to him and thus he chose to ignore Edwards threat. As he reangaged in a relationship with Blake Cullen Mathew's friends there told him that he shouldn't get invovled with Edward as his best friend was Andrew Lovie and that would be a fight you could not or would not win. Despite these warnings he refused to heed their words and thus he was discovered by Edward after he flaunted his romance with Blake in front of Edward's face while he was in the courtyard training with Jasper Hale. Edward at the time had a sword and it took a silent movement by Jasper to take the sword so that Edward didn't use it to kill Mathew, but the removal of the sword only made the two fight with fists, and before long they were full out fighting in the courtyard. As teachers were unable to intervene it took the silent arrival of one person to silence the entire crowd when Andrew Lovie entered the courtyard. After a moment of silence Andrew who at the time was still argueing with Edward about what he had returned for, and said to him but this changed nothing about harming Edward. After Andrew, Jasper, and Emmett picked up Edward they were unable to stop him from challenging Mathew to a duel which he was honor bound to accept, and with that the duel was a forgone conclusion. The outcome of the fight would forever change both men as they both believed that without intervention they would have been victorious, and this remains a point of open contention between the two.

At present Edward is a leading member of the Order of the Blue Dragon, as well as being a member of the Shadow Council making him a very important and influencial member of the Kingdom.



Bringing Hilary In
The Creation of the Order of the Blue Dragon was the moment that Hilary Duff had been waiting for most of her life to come. She was in her estate spending time with Taylor and Mike when Edward arrived at the door with a robed man that introduced himself as Khadgar. The three engaged in a long conversation which ended with Hilary joining the Order of the Blue Dragon underneath the position of her best friend Edward who was the Azure Lord of Conjuration. Once Khadgar had left the two talked more about their future in the order, and they came to a decision that Hilary and he would grow thier section together and would always go to eachother before they made any big decisions.

Lucerne Civil War

Edward meets a Queen


Edward while the group was being escorted to the palace would find himself in a tavern where he met with a cloaked man who told him that the darkness was in Lorderon. Initially thinking the man a lunatic he saw his face and as they talked a girl came into the tavern cloaked as well and he followed the two into a backroom. Discovering that the women was Jaina Proudmoore the wife of Arthas Menathil he took it far more seriously. Jaina revealed to him that her husband was losing his mind, and that Medivh had been stalking him for a long time and they both feared that he was lost to the madness now. Edward would agree to meet with Medivh in the tunnels beneath the city as Jaina noticed several spies of her husband enter the tavern and thus was forced to leave before anyone discovered her involvement and she found herself with a noose around her neck.

Meeting with Medivh


With William travelling with his wife and family Leven had some time to herself, and found herself in her room trying to get some sleep when a knock at the door brought Edward into her presence again. She and Edward hadn't got along since he left for Hogwarts and his declining status within the Shadow Council had become clear to all, and this had led to him becoming more distant to the members and thus even more reason for Leven to not be happy with him. The two would talk and he would eventually convinse her for old times sake to help him with something as there was noone elce he trusted to come with him, and he wanted someone with him.

He refused to tell me where we were going the entire time I followed him through the corridors. I knew we had time, but I wasn't used to being so out of the loop, and despite my long time as a friend of Edward there was a tinge of fear as we entered the increasingly dark tunnels beneath the palace. Finally he stopped at a door that had the sigil of an eye. "Do not fret Levia the secret shall soon be revealed." He went to open the door but I stopped him.

"I do not like keeping secrets from William, and in your current position I would think you'd be more careful of being seen as keeping secrets." I knew it was harsh, and from the hurt in his eyes I regreted saying it, but he had hit at a gnawing piece of me that worried what Edward's plans were. Had he come to the conclusion that with Jasper and myself as the right and left hand of William that he had lost his place, and that perhaps made him dangerous. Since he had joined the Blue Dragons he had been even more distant. I know he kept talking to William but I had barely seen him, and I know Jasper barely recegnized him anymore.

"Were not keeping secrets from William. He knows what I am doing, and he has blessed my mission."

"Then why all the secrets." I said it louder and more rudely then I had meant to, and I could tell he was torn by what to say, but after a moment he continued.

"The secrets are because the man were going to meet would be placed in great danger if anyone knew where we were going. I kept it a secret because here in Lorderon." He stopped and moved closer to me. "Were in a place none of us fully understand. This place is old. Older then anything elce we have dealt with, and I'm not alone in thinking that age may have corupted it." He turned back to the door placing his hand on the handle. "Do you not feel the darkness here. This place has darkness I have not felt since Berne." Without another word he opened the door and I followed him inside, and without meaning to as soon as I did my hand grasped my sword at my side. It disapointed me more then I thought it would in that moment that I still didn't trust Edward.

"I'm glad to see you Lord Cullen." I turned to the voice and saw a man sitting at a table in the corner nearly consumed by a large hood. He got up from the table removing his hood and looked directly at me. "You must be Lady Martell." He held out his hand, and not wanting to be rude despite my reservations of this situation I took his hand in return. "There is no reason to be frightened of my intentions Lady Martell, I mean you and Lord Cullen no harm." Noone frightened me. Certainly not this man. He had a sullen look to his face despite the smile that covered it. On his left cheek was a scar that stretched to his ear, and it looked like no sword or weapon I had ever seen as it nearly glowed blue. Whatever this man wanted, or whatever he was capable of he did not intimidate me.

"You do not frighten me Ser." He laughed before walking into the room and towards the back of the room. Looking back at me he waved at us to follow him.

"I am no Ser my Lady. I am Medivh a german just like you who happened to be born with the abilities as your friend Lord Cullen. I joined the Kirin Tor when I was young."He stopped for a moment and a splash of hurt went across his face clearly remembering a pain in the past, but he moved on walking further into the room as he continued talking. "'''Think of the Kirin Tor as the Lorderon version of your Blue Dragons, except for the fact that we serve no king. We serve Lorderon and the people that live within it. That means there are times. Times like now where our duty is to make those who are able to do something about problems, aware that these problems exist." '''He spoke with an aura of regality that made me think he was either noble born, or been around them long enough know how we spoke and what manurisms worked best in conversations.

"And what sort of problems exist here?"

"I still cannot believe that you don't feel the darkness here. Something evil lurks in this place, and I'm hoping that by working with Medivh we can destroy the evil." He looked at me as if I was some sort of alien for not being able to feel it, and it made me mad. Who was this man to bellitle me and what I could or could not see.

"I feel nothing." I said it with no emotion and turned my face from Edward as quickly as possible not wanting him to get anytthing from me.

"Be happy you fell nothing Lady Martell as the pain I feel when near him is unbearable." Stopping at the table he held his head down in a sort of ashamed look.

"You never mentioned it being a person before this Medivh." I felt a sence of relief that atleast I was not the only one out of the loop.

"I'm sorry for the lieing Lord Cullen but I had to make sure your Kingdom continued down the path of taking control of Lorderon this way."

"Who is this man that causes this darkness." Medivh raised his head an bid us to sit down which Edward did but I remained standing. I never liked the feel of a chair in these sorts of situations. Locking myself in just felt reckless, and I was anything but reckless.

"He was once a noble man. The people spoke of him in barely restrained whispers. They loved him, and his german bride from Kul Tiras. He defeated bandits learned his craft and everything was fine. " He stopped and looked to be in heavy thought for a moment. A smile crossed his scarred face as he must have remmebered the good times of this man. "Then one day, and I saw one day because I do not know what day, or what transpired. One day he was just gone. As if another had taken control of his body and replaced him with a demon. I was approached back then by several Magi from the Kirin Tor of whom said they had felt a terrible presence when near him, so I travelled to Lorderon to see for myself. When I did the two men had been executed for crimes created against them, but the truth they had told me remained. Walking near him was like walking near an empty space in the world."

"Who is this man you speak of Medivh."

"I know him as Azsharion Menathil, but in the toghnue of the germans he is known as Arthas Menathil."

The two would exit the tunnels with a new fear of Arthas Menathil of whome they had clearly been told by this Medivh was someone of extreme danger. Edward believed him without question, but Leven saw this Medivh as a misguided Magi that was clinging to fear and dillusions in his old age. Both of them though would meet with William and discuss the realities of what they had heard.

The End of a Marriage
The events of Lorderon had cleared up many things in the mind of Tanya Cullen, and these things led to her sending a letter to Radlet Scarlet while she was in Lorderon that would change everything. Tanya would ask him to meet her in Lucerne and told him she was going to divorce Edward no matter what it took, and that she wanted to be with him. As Edward found her following the hollow victory of the Lucernians over Arthas's madness she would be completely unforgiving and whatever emotions she had for him disapeared when he showed little care that she was talking of divorcing him. Edward would leave the room with her without finishing the conversation, and she immediatly found the Steinmare's and would travel by boat back with them, and when she arrived in the Port of Stormwind she recieved a letter from Radlet saying he would be awaiting her arrival in Lucerne. Arriving in Lucerne she was met at the gates by Radlet of whom held her hand as she cried, and while he was jelous he would comfort her over the ending of her marriage in everything but officiality. Back in Lorderon Edward Cullen would tell noone what was happening with Tanya and decided on wim to go to Kirin Tor with Jaina, Hilary, and Gemma and he would remain there assisting in the rebuild for some time. While he was rebuilding Kirin Tor Tanya went to her father and pushed him to get William Lovie III. to arrange a divorce between Tanya and Edward, but unfortunaly William wouldn't do that to his old friend, and thus rejected the request.

Voice in the North
Main Article : First Lucerne-Tevinter War



Following the exodus of Arthas and his failure to  stop him Edward would return to Lucerne a somewhat broken man, who watched as Jasper, and Leven had completely replaced him as the best friends of William while Emmett had taken control of House McCarty and was throwing himself into that. On top of this Edward would find that his former wife Tanya Cullen had now moved on with Saiden Scarlet and had followed him into Hearthglen where she was pregnent with a child from him. Seeing all of this Edward believed he needed to do something to change things, and thus he would decide to travel into the north with Hilary and her husband alongside the Stone Dragons, in a quest to find Lord Voldermorte and finally end him once and for all. Edward would go to William and tell him that he needed some time away, and that he had decided he was taking his Stone Dragons and going into Tevinter to assist in the war effort up there. William would attempt to convinse him that everything was fine, and Alice came in later in the conversation and tried as well, and whatever progress they had made when up in flames when Jasper entered the room and then quickly walked out unable to even be in the same room as him. Leven would come in and the four of them would say their goodbye's as they knew after Jasper's departure that Edward had made up his mind.

I walked down the hallway to where I hoped I would find William alone, and without the inevitable conflict that Jasper's presence would mean. Reaching the door Hayden Percy let me in with a small smile, and looking inside I saw William sitting in a chair talking with Leven, and I felt a small shiver go up my spine watching them laugh together.

Here I was one of the most important Magi in the entire Kingdom, and I was scared of a simple laugh. I wanted more then anything to be the cause of their smiles, but that was gone. It was made worse by the fact that as I neared them their smiles didn't continue. While William's only faded a tad bit, the laughter of Leven disapeared and was replaced by something akin to discust. I had never been the closest with Leven but after all these years the fact that we were not even friends was painful.

"Edward my friend, what brings you here?"

"I've returned from Lorderon." It sounded so simple. I had returned from Lorderon. I had returned from Lorderon. Saying it made it all the more painful to even think about the magnitude of my failing. I could have stopped him, if I had only listened to reason when I had first heard it.

"I'm so sorry my friend, I hadn't realized you would be returning so soon."

"Do you not worry your grace, the day is not enought for all things."

"Come and sit with us." Leven practically rolled her eyes as I took a seat across from her and William, but I needed to speak to him, and she couldn't stop that.

"I shall take my..." Leven went to bolt the moment I sat down, but her hand was caught by William.

"Come now Leven, we were just starting, and now Edward is here." William grasped her hands, and smiled at her, and like the love struck girl she was all those years ago she responded the same, as she continued holding his hand and sat back down giving me not even a passing look. "Now Edward not that you need a reason, but what is the purpose of your visit today?"

"I've been thinking on something for quite some time, and I think now is the time to finally move forward." I suppose somewhere in my heart I had been thinking on it since I returned from Hogwarts. It was never going to be the same and even after years of trying, it was just time to accept that fact.

"Move forward towards what Edward?" I knew him too well to believe he didn't know what I was talking of, and when I looked up I saw in his eyes that he knew. He was trying to buy himself time to think of excuses. Time to make me think differently. He just didn't understand how long I had been thinking of this.

"I need to try and rebuild my life. I don't know if you've noticed William, but my life is in tatters." He looked down, and when he did I followed his eyes down and saw Leven gently rubbing his hand.

"I spoke to Tanya before she left." I knew that she would come up, but just hearing her name further made me think of how much I had lost. She had tried her best to love me, and what did I give her for that other then failure and rejection. Frankly I was happy for her and Saiden. If I was completely honest with myself then I had to admit that it was a weight off my shoulders not having to worry about whether she was sleeping with someone behind my back.

"Its not even about her anymore frankly. She is just a symptom of this new world where everything that I loved is lost to me."

Edward Cullen would travel to Brill alongside Vonder, where they met with Hilary Swift. Hilary was quick to follow Edward's plan, and her husband accompanied them as well leaving behind their children in the care of their family while they went north. Gemma Cullen arrived with Coldhands shortly after this, and the two would also join with them, without any resistence, and Coldhands would warn Edward that if they went northward he would never return south as anything but an enemy of Lucerne.



Following the gathering of the Stone Dragons, they would travel by boat from Lole all the way to the Port of Stormwind, where they then would take a boat to Westbridge. Gemma Cullen would seperate from them on the route as she stopped at Lorderon where she would plan to meet with Jaina Proudmoore in order to say her sympathies for the believed death of Arthas Menathil. Jaina would be waylaid after she was forced to find Jaina at the Kirin Tor fortress, and she remained by Jaina's side for several days waiting for her to feel better. The rest of the group would keep moving, and after days of travel they would reach their destination, arriving in Westbridge. At this point the Starke`s would leave Thedas and arrive in Westbridge where they awaited their fleet from the south to arrive and transport their forces to Bolten, while also transporting their women and non-warriors by boat to Fairmarket where they would be returning to their homes in Stormwind. The Stone Dragons minus Gemma Cullen would arrive in Westbridge where they would meet with the Starke's of whom are leaving for the south and there is being a handover of command in the north. Edward Cullen talks with Robb Starke about the war in the north, and he details the violence of it all, and also the fact that reinforcements will be coming in extreme numbers from the south as the forces of the Darkmore's have been commanded following the end of their troubles to send forces into the north. Before leaving Robb would leave him with one last piece of advice when he told Edward that the Kingdom of Ferelden was shaky at best in their loyalty, but the Kingdom of Antiva was what was the real target as they had absolutely no feelings for the Empire of Tevinter outside of hatred. As the Starke's left the Stone Dragons would make a short stop to see Shia Labouef of whom they knew to be one of the major figures of the northern campaign, but were unable to meet him as he had travelled north already. Thus with nothing left to do in Westbridge they would make their way northward to Heathfall where the center of the Lucernian Battle Command was located.

Arriving in Heathfall following the exodus of the Starkes when they were going to Bolten for the war there and thus Edward arrived in the First Lucerne-Tevinter War and in this war he found a front that was very much in flux. In Noveria the conflict had ground to a halt as the Tevinter forces couldn't get by the fortresses there, but in the west the situation was different as the numbers of Tevinter were unending on that front. Seeing an oppurtity to rise in the north Edward, and Hilary worked hard to destablize areas of strength for the Deatheaters and they would begin to do this by attacking camps controlled by the Deatheaters and using local knowledge of the area and traitors within their ranks they would ambush the forces and kill them. Weeks into the conflict they would recieve a letter from Westbridge directed from Gemma Cullen of whom said she was in Westbridge and was making her way northward to join them, and by this time they were already quite succesful as they were responsible for the destruction of several Deatheater camps in the area just north of Noveria. With the casualties mounting though the Tevinter Army simply sent in more forces and following the arrival of reinforcements they found themselves back where they were before, and thus Edward planned to assasinate leading commanders in the Tevinter army as they were more difficult to replace. Marking several commanders as valued targets for death they would infiltrate camps using Magi, and through this they managed to kill several high ranking military commanders including the field commander of the entire Antiva front. Edward Cullen realizing the flux of the war was turning in their favor infiltrated the powerful Kingdom of Antiva as an individual he called "The Voice".

The Voice of Antiva


Edward Cullen and the Stone Dragons wanted to wait for Gemma Cullen before they travelled into Antiva, but as they told this to their Antiva spy Loghain Colave he would tell them that there would be no time for such things as the borders would be closing soon with the arrival of the Third Tevinter Army which was only days away. Realizing they had no time to wait they travelled with Loghair northward into the Mountains of Antiva where they took control of Castle Colave of which was Loghain's families hold, and would stand as their base of operations. The group was led up a heavily fortified mountain trail of which was one of the mountain trails that were the only way into the Valley of Antiva outside of the Ostrogar pass where the might fortress gaurded the way through. Arriving in Castle Colave they would work alongside House Colave and with great assistence from the Kingdom of Antiva's leadership in Jase Folwyn of whom desperatly wanted to rid himself of the Empire of Tevinter. As "The Voice" he begin an uprising amongst the peasents that gained momentum and created a huge problem for the large army of Tevinter of whom found their supply lines captured and taking hit and run attacks constantly. This large Tevinter army named the Third Tevinter Army was hamstrung around the valley of Antiva as they had been sent to ensure the loyalty of the Folwyn's but instead were facing what was quickly devolving into a popular uprising against the Tevinter goverment.

Back in the capital the Empire of Tevinter Lord Voldermorte was hearing more about this "Voice" that was killing his men in droves throughout Antiva, and so enraged was he that he killed several of his men in the council chambers before summoning Clary Folwyn to his personal quarters to give her a task. The moment she walked into the personal quarters she knew the result wouldn't be good and she was right when he took all of his anger out on her, and then while she was lying broken on the ground he whispered to her what her task was. She would later confide in Edward about what had happened, and the truth of the sort of violence she was subject too from Lord Voldermorte was something that Edward came to understand was the main reason for her eventual betrayal of him, and the Stone Dragons.

She paused for a moment, and I thought she might push me away. As I was about to speak again she spoke herself. "I was lying on the ground broken after he had finished, and I knew in that moment that there was not a single person in this world besides him that would save me. He was the only thing in the world that mattered." She put her arms down on the table as if to hold herself up, and hearing the tale of the things Tom Malfoy had done to her were enough to make me understand that feeling.

"I would protect you Clary." She wasn't looking at me before, but she slowly turned towards me, and there was a sad smile on her face.

"I believe you when you say that Edward, but the simple truth is that you have no ability to protect me." She rubbed the side of my face with her hand as she spoke and I just didn't know how everything could have gone so badly.

"If you had given me..." She cut me off with her hand to my lips, before I could speak further.

"No amount of warning, or chances would have changed this fate. You were destined from the moment you were born to be here on this exact spot at this exact time." Her eyes shined the same way they did through all the days back when things were good, but now I could feel the pain of it all. It wasn't the cuts that lined my body. It wasn't the bruises from the beatings. None of the torture mattered in the slightest bit when it compared to the pain I felt looking at her now.

As I looked at her I wondered for the moment if any of this was real. If this was real then that meant without a doubt that at some point she had come here with the single purpose of eventually betraying me. She went to the table and used a cloth to clean one of the knives that hours before had been sliding along my arm cutting deep gashes in me.

She did it with a silence that left me feeling cold. Which was the Clary I knew. Was it the girl who looked so vulnerable fighting at my side? Or was it the girl standing before me now unwilling to save me. That question led me to finally ask her the only real thing I wanted to know at this point. "Did you ever truly care about me Clary?"

She stopped cleaning the moment I said it, and gently placed the knife back on the table. She was turned away from me so I couldn't see the look on her face as she stood motionless staring downwards towards what I assumed were the torture tools used against me. I waited patiently for her to say something. I waited for her to say anything in the end, but as the seconds went by she turned towards me, and with a vacant stare looked at me straight in the eyes before walking to the door.

"So I have my anwser then?" I barely was able to get it out, as I knew that she was telling me that she never did care. Her hand on the door stopped pulling it back for a moment and she turned towards me with nearly the same vacant stare before speaking.

"You have the anwser you believe. The anwser in your heart tells you something is happening here that may or may not be true. There are no words I could say to make this better. And the simplest way of speaking is that maybe I'm not interested anymore in making things better." With that she pulled the door and walked out of the room, and for what I believed she had walked out of my life.

It was as she was leaving that she entered the throne room room one last time to see Lord Voldermote and he told her that he would be sending two more brigades in order to further appease the situation in Antiva, and that she would have to be quick before the Antiva situation deterioted out of control. Once she had left Lord Voldermote would recall his nephew Gregory Malfoy of whom he commanded to travel to Neromenia and meet with his sister where he would gather together another force from Neromenia of which he would use to move against the Fereldens as Lord Voldermote was beggining to understand that the uprising in Antiva might spread to Ferelden, and the Fereldens could not be trusted to uphold the power of Tevinter. Gregory would leave as well with a detatchment of Deatheaters, and in the final act of Lord Voldermortes plan he commanded sixteen Deatheaters led by Antonin Stelov of whom were commanded to watch Clary Folwyn very carefully and if she showed any signs of failure they were to kill her, and then kill the Voice as well.



Following the success of the rebellious movement under Edward's command he gained more and more support until the point came that he had nearly two brigades worth of troops of differing levels of training and equipment. This led to Edward deciding to plan an ambush on a larger scale whre they would destroy an entire brigade using conventional forces, and hopefully from this victory they would install more belief in the population of Antiva, and this battle would come to be known as the Battle of Hetina Fields. Edward would use local spies, and his allies in the court of Bastion to spread word of the fall of a local village near the capital, and then in a swift reply the Third Tevinter army sent two brigades - the 12th Brigade, and the 22nd Brigade - against the village in order to retake it and not allow what they thought would be the first holding of the "Voice". As Edward Cullen surrounded the village with his forces while at the same time fortifying it to hold against attack he was joined by three very influencial people of which he would only come to understand after the battle of whom they were in the form of Aldric Folwyn, his best friend Elsa Croken, and her husband Jack Croken. These three would join him in the fight for the village where the main thrust of the Tevinter Brigades would swipe against, and thus the fighting would be fierce while they awaited the relief of the ambushing forces in the forest. The Tevinter 12th, and 22nd Brigade had nearly 4000 men split between their two forces and also carried with them some three hundred local scouts of whom had been brought in the hopes of eliminating the threat of ambush in a land they didn't know well. Unfortunatly these scouts were of varied loyalites with the vast majority loyal to the rebel movement, and those that were not were atleast unwilling to die for a cause they didn't truly believe in.

Awaiting the attack of the Tevinter forces the rebels in the village were busy fortifying the village for attack, and during this time Edward would come to discover the identity of Aldric Folwyn when Loghain would bow before him, and this led to the discussing how he had been sent there to begin a relationship between the Kingdom of Lucerne, and the Kingdom of Antiva of whom he told him the royal family was behind the rebellion in terms of support. When Edward questioned their loyalty and the fact that the royal family had not sent anything until now it was Loghain that stood forward and admitted that he had been commanded to do everything he had done not only by his own beliefs, but also due to a royal command from Jase Folwyn. Elsa Croken, and her husband Jack Croken would also admit there families loyalty to the rebellion, and would promice that once the time came they would support the rebellion, and until then they would remain by Edward's side as assistence but also as a hostage of sorts. The two Tevinter brigades would arrive at the village, and waited several hours for their local scouts to return to them and tell them of the surrounding area, but of these scouts those few who were not already in the pocket of the Antiva rebels were dealt with by the rebels and thus when they returned they reported a small rebel force fortified in the village, and that there was no danger anywhere else. By this point the rebels had fortified the houses in the village, and palasade walls had been placed all across the village of which were hidden behind villages so that if for some reason the scouts saw them there would be no alerting them to the danger in the village. Attacking the village directly the 12th Brigade would surround the village and attack from all sides while the 22nd moved into a circling position around the 12th attempting to further make sure the rebels and "The Voice" did not escape the noose they believed they had placed on the village. As the 12th attacked the village from all sides they had difficulty as the brigade was only 1500 men, and the forces of the village were at nearly that same number but were defending from behind palasades, and inside houses. Elsa Croken would at this point show herself as a very powerful Magi - A member of the Antivan Circle - and would alongside her husband and Aldric Folwyn route the attack that had come from the western part of the village killing the commander of the attack, and dozens of the men with him. At this point the defenders would let loose the signal for the hidden forces to attack, and they did this with a mainly cavalry force that struck the 22nd brigade in several places, and since they had split their forces very thing so as to completely surround the village they were horribly outnumbered by the nearly two thousand hidden troops. Realizing they were being attacked from all sides the command of the 22nd Brigade would begin blowing horns marshaling his forces together, and this would lead to the 22nd Brigade and elements of the 12th Brigade to begin linking up northeast of the village, but it would also lead to the rebels completely routing the forces attackin the village as these attacking forces realized the retreat was underway and didn't want to be caught on the wrong side. Edward Cullen would lead the countercharge alongside the now known to be Magi Elsa Croken of whom was using Frost Magi alongside Edward's Fire Magi, and Hilary's illusion to cause chaos amongst the retreating Tevinter forces. The Tevinter retreat was a disaster as hundreds either outright surrendered, or were killed, and only a few hundred were able to make it to the retreating 22nd Brigade of whom by this point was being harrassed from the forest by rebel archers and the three main rebel forces on the east were all converging on the force. The commander of the 22nd Brigade would at this point be struck by an arrow and killed, alongside his second in command leading to the third in command to quickly judge the situation, and realize that surrounded on three sides, and only the forest as an escape that they were doomed, so he commanded a last stand be put into place. As he was making the orders for this several of the luitenents would come together and kill him in order to stop the suicidal last stand he was commanding, and with this in mind they would command the Tevinter force to lay their swords down and surrender. The three rebel forces would then move in and take them prisoner where every single troop had his armor, weapons and rations taken and this was spread throughout the rebels, while after this the regular troops of non-noble blood were set free and made their way in a sad convoy back to the Tevinter Base in Bastion. The rebels would then abandon the village, and take all the officers with them, and the massive trove of equipment they had stolen from the Tevinter forces.

An Alliance with Antiva
Following their victory in the Battle of Hetina Fields the rebellion was now nearly open, and Edward Cullen commanded his forces to assault the Tevinter Third army wherever they were found, and in this they were attacked nearly all across Antiva. Edward Cullen would during these raids, and fighting come to meet a young women named Clary Folwyn of whom was the daughter of the king of Antiva, and she proved herself in several fights to be loyal to their cause. Bringing Edward to meet with her father the two became better friends, and with the deterioating relationship with Tanya they begin to see eachother romantically. During this Clary was loyal secretly to Lord Voldermorte and because of this all the information gatherered by Clary was handed off to Lord Voldermorte.

An Alliance Broken
Edward would make arrangments with the King of Antiva of whom told him that he would side with him and sign papers of alliance between Lucerne and Antiva. Going to meet with the King he arrived at the castle to find that every single person in the castle was dead including the King, and despite warnings from Hilary he continued into the throne room where he found Lord Voldermorte surrounded by the bodies of the royal family and many of his men. Edward and Hilary would try and fight there way out but at the final moments before they were to escape Edward was stunned by a spell and Hilary was captured trying to pull him over the fence to where their horses awaited them.
