HP: Embrace the Darkness

The ring has obviously been touched by its owner from time to time. The silver body of the ring exudes a warm yet bright luster, and the flower body engraved stroke by stroke is seamless.

And the position it covers happens to be the ring-like blessing mark.

The potions master was completely unaware that his current movements were very similar to those of Asseth when he was thinking, and he was still staring at his hands, as if he wanted to stare at the blessing.

Actually...it's not impossible to untie it.

Lest some bastard keeps losing contact and can't be found, causing his family to worry for nothing.

The Potions Master built the steps for himself independently without any outside help, convinced himself "with difficulty", and then rushed into the depths of the Forbidden Forest.

Aces has a unique sense of unicorns and can find unicorns effortlessly.

But Snape didn't, so he could only follow his memory and find the places where Estella's family often haunted.

Unexpectedly, the squeamish little unicorn has been whining and picky over the past few days, and has driven its parents to the other side of the Forbidden Forest to feast on it, without even knowing that anyone is looking for it.

Unable to find Estella, Snape looked in the direction of Unicorn Valley.

He originally didn't want to disturb the unicorn herd, but now it seemed that he didn't want to disturb them anymore.

Lu Snape was quite familiar with going to the Unicorn Valley. After a moment, the mysterious Unicorn Valley appeared in front of him - in fact, it was not in front of him.

Unicorn Valley is in a good location, surrounded by dense trees and unknown vines, hiding the entrance to Unicorn Valley like a hidden treasure.

Now he has not passed through the grass barrier that blocks his sight, and he cannot see the Unicorn Valley. He can only see the holy light of the unicorn shining through the intertwined vines.

The white holy light is particularly conspicuous in the dark Forbidden Forest, no less than a black spot on a white paper, anyone who is not blind can see it.

Seeing this light, there is only one last step left before entering the Unicorn Valley - passing through the natural barrier.

Naturally, Snape would not be stupid enough to use magic spells to cut down grass and trees in a way that could easily be misunderstood by beasts.

He put away his wand, casually picked up a straight and thick-looking wooden stick from the ground, and used the most primitive human method to push aside the vines and leaves.

Even so, the unicorns who were leisurely strolling, lying down, or playing all looked over with big, wary eyes.

Snape felt uncomfortable under the spotlight.

Subconsciously, he touched the wand in his sleeve, reached halfway, and controlled it with his strong will.

He came to beg someone... to beg a beast, not to make enemies, so he couldn't draw his wand.

The unicorn had some memory of Snape's aura, but not much, somewhere between familiarity and unfamiliarity.

So now they have neither the idea of ​​attacking nor swarming up.

The two sides just maintained a strange situation of staring at each other, and you didn't move and I didn't move.

The arrival of Cynthia broke this situation.

It had more contact with Snape than other unicorns, and it didn't feel strange when it saw Snape, so it ran up to him.

When it was about to hit Snape, it stopped deliberately and carefully moved its head towards him.

"Cynthia?"

Snape found Cynthia's name in his mind and called it out unsurely.

Cynthia nodded cheerfully.

"It's me, Severus."

Snape tried to put his hand on Cynthia's head and looked down into its eyes to discern the emotions in its eyes.

As a human, he really can't see any changes in the expressions of animals, but eyes and body language are the constant passes in communication.

Cynthia unconsciously rubbed Snape's hand, and seeing that he didn't avoid it, she couldn't help but rub it again.

"Severus, why are you here alone? Where is Asseth? He hasn't been here for a long time. I miss him a little. When will he come to see us."

Snape couldn't tell Cynthia's expectant eyes about Artes' possible disappearance, so he looked away and started to change the topic.

"Cynthia, can you do me a favor?"

He always reminded himself that he had something to ask the beast for. He had a good attitude and the words spoken by the potion master were rare and gentle, which shocked the unicorns who knew him well.

"Ah? Help? Help for what?"

Snape retracted his hand and tapped his little finger lightly, "Can that blessing still be unlocked?"

Cynthia was a little surprised, "You mean you want to unlock the restrictions of partition blessing?"

"Yes." Snape nodded, staring blankly at his empty fingers, "I can't find him."

Cynthia's brain seemed to be blocked by something, unable to understand what Snape wanted to express.

What do you mean you can't find him?

Why can't I find Asseth?

Cynthia's giggling attitude immediately disappeared, and she stamped her hooves anxiously and snorted.

"Can't find him? Is he...Aces?"

For the first time, the rigorous double agent couldn't speak out of his mind, revealing information he didn't want to reveal. His face was a little ugly, and he said dryly: "Yes."

Cynthia paced back and forth anxiously, "Zafar said that the possibility is almost zero. I'm not sure whether it is possible. How about you follow me to find Zafar?"

Snape said succinctly: "Okay."

One person and one unicorn crossed the stream of Unicorn Valley and walked deeper.

The formal visit was different from the last time. Cynthia was worried that Snape didn't understand Zafar and would be angry with Zafar because he couldn't understand Zafar, which would arouse the anger of the unicorns. When walking, she didn't forget to introduce Snape.

"No beast knows how long Zafar has lived. As long as I can remember, he has been the great elder of the unicorn clan. He brought us almost all by himself, so some people in the clan call him 'Big Father'."

"My eldest father is extremely powerful. He is the only beast in the clan that can control the power of the moon god, so some people in the clan call him 'Elder Moon' or 'Moon Messenger'."

"It is the last trump card of our clan. It usually stays in the innermost part of the valley and does not live with us. It only occasionally comes out to guide the younger generations."

Cynthia told him in one breath what she thought Snape should know.

"Luna?" Snape asked blankly.

Seeing the confusion in Snape's eyes, Cynthia suddenly realized and added: "Yes, it is the Moon God. Our unicorn family regards the moon as our respect, the Moon God as our belief, and the moon as our totem."

"Then Assis..."

Snape asked uncertainly, recalling the divine appearance of Artes when his hair was long.

Cynthia nodded solemnly, "Yes, that is the power of the Moon God. At present, besides Zafar, Asseth is the second beast...man in the clan who can control the power of the Moon God."

"Luna, Luna."

Snape recited this word repeatedly, and the image of Ass's long-haired silver eyes appeared in his mind, his lonely and cold temperament like the moon in the sky, and his eyes without sadness or joy.

Inevitably, an idea arose in his mind - it would not be inappropriate for the word "Moon God" to be placed on Asseth.
