[Chapter Size: 2000 Words.]

Third Person POV

Unknown place.

...

...

"Paintings?!" She looked at him strangely.

"Yes, paintings. Magical, the ones that move, you know?" He said as if explaining to someone ignorant, or at least, it sounded like that.

"I know what you're talking about!" She growled irritably, offended by Severus's tone. "Of course we have magical paintings. I'm just surprised by such a trivial question, the whole magical world is full of magical paintings!"

"That's great!" Severus opened a smile that surprised her once again, since his excitement was very strange to the girl.

"Wait! Now I remember! In the report, it is said that you were searching for magical paintings all over Great Britain! How could I forget that?!" She said, staring at him with narrowed eyes. "You want our paintings!"

"Yes." Severus did not deny it. "But it's not like I would steal them. I just need to find some portals in them..." He said.

"As if I would let you do that... it's very suspicious!" She said.

"You're not going to tell me anything about your kingdom?" He asked, raising an eyebrow.

"And if I don't want to tell you, will you hurt my companions?" Asked the girl, staring at Severus.

"No, I don't intend to hurt you just like them, if that's what you're asking. I have no interest in that. And if you don't want to tell me, I won't force you." Severus spoke calmly.

Suddenly, a bottle of wine appeared in front of him. Using the Hufflepuff goblet, he drank after making sure it was clean.

"Thank you..." She blinked, surprised, but continued to stare at him. "You're not going to force me to say who I am or about my kingdom?" She asked, while Severus shrugged.

"I was curious to know which kingdom you're from, but I also won't simply make you tell me. It's all right if you don't want to. It's not like I depend on that information, I just wanted to understand more about the world." He said in a calm tone, while drinking. "Do you want some wine?"

She shook her head. "All right, so you're going to let me and my friends go... so easily after we attacked you?" She murmured, looking at him to see if he was really telling the truth.

"Of course... I understand your job here. I was once part of something similar..." Severus said, although his work as a guardian was much more complex than taking care of a world, but he still looked at the group remembering his past life.

"I..." She didn't know what to say.

"Anyway... I'm leaving." He said, standing up from the chair and finishing the last sip of wine from the golden goblet.

"..." She just stared at him as he began to leave. He then disappeared, leaving the princess standing there, while she turned her attention to all six companions lying on the ground.

She had to get them out of there, all of them had failed, that Severus Prince toyed with them so easily, they didn't even have a chance. Now she had to face the others after their failure.

At the same time, she wondered who Severus Prince was... and how he could be so powerful. He could summon a shadow soldier that made them sweat, then get rid of traps easily, being able to move so fast he would make Lady Phiness look like a slow child, and so strong that he defeated Darius Korran with just a finger.

At the same time, Severus was outside the castle, while his shadows once again gathered with him. He didn't even need to use them.

"Now... let's end this once and for all." He decided as Wyvern appeared beneath his feet and raised its wings, advancing toward the most famous wizarding prison in the world.

Meanwhile, in Azkaban, the Dementors circled the prison all the time, there were no real guards, only the shadowy creatures to take care of the prisoners, who didn't have an easy time there, surrounded by Dementors sucking their happiness, if not giving them the Dementor's kiss.

A shadow descended from the sky at that moment, while the Dementors who were guarding the place outside went on alert, seeing the shadow approaching close enough to the entrance.

Severus had never been in Azkaban before, but he knew very well where the island was. He saw the Dementors approaching the entrance where he told Wyvern to land, while asking it to distance itself from the group of Dementors, landing a bit earlier, with the enormous black-winged creature beating against the ground a little farther from the entrance.

The ground of the island was black, lifeless, there was a sprawling cemetery near them, but Severus ignored it as his shadow returned to his feet, leaving only him walking on that blackened land.

He moved forward while facing more than 30 Dementors trying to block his path.

"Hm... How interesting." Severus commented, looking at the shadowy creatures that planned to fight him. He hadn't encountered any of them in this world yet. He had the power of death, which should have made the creatures immediately retreat just from his presence.

They remained clustered together until Severus began to release his aura while walking calmly with his hands in the pockets of his jacket. His eyes shone dangerously as he was getting closer to the creatures.

That made all the Dementors let out frightening screams, immediately retreating before Severus's steps as he continued forward.

The entrance was soon clear. "In the end, they just fled in fear." Severus mocked as he entered the place, moving on to a tiered hall full of cells, with more Dementors circling the area, there were at least hundreds of them.

Unsurprisingly, as the creatures noticed him, they fled in fear. Severus knew he could erase them from existence, and they knew it too.

The more conscious prisoners were a little surprised by the creatures' behavior, while many of them seemed only an empty shell that did nothing more than stay in a corner of their cells with a dead look, after all, the Dementors had wreaked havoc on their minds after sucking away practically their soul and emotions day after day.

"What is happening?" Said a pure-blood who had been there for the last two years, he looked disheveled and quite worn out after being there for so long, but still conscious, even though some traces of madness were already beginning to cloud his mind. It was an effect of the Dementors. He was a Death Eater who had been caught after attacking some Muggles in the name of the Dark Lord.

He didn't even know the Dark Lord was there with him, all he hoped for was to be released by his master, but today in particular he was surprised as he finally saw a man appear, walking without the Patronus that Aurors usually used to move around the prison.

He saw the man looking quite relaxed and the Dementors terrified.

"Hey, who are you?! You don't look like someone from the Ministry!" Said the man, looking at the stranger, certainly no Auror or official would wear such dark clothes.

The stranger's eyes glowed a dangerous blue as he stared at him, making the prisoner break out in a cold sweat for a moment, as if he were in danger.

"I'm here after Voldemort... You are a Death Eater... I don't remember you, were you here before I massacred all of you?" Asked the stranger, leaving the man stunned by that.

"What? You're joking with me, aren't you? You're saying you massacred us, and how dare you say the name of the Dark Lord as if referring to him as an equal?! Don't joke with me!" The man exploded with rage upon hearing that. He had no news from the outside and no Auror had spoken to him or delivered a newspaper about the latest events in the wizarding world, he thought it was all absurd, expecting his master to soon be triumphing over everyone.

"Voldemort was defeated by me and brought here, I massacred all the Death Eaters, but it seems some were left behind..." He said in a tedious tone.

"How dare you!" The man shouted once again in anger, but before he could react, the entrance to the cell exploded, flying to the side of the man with an invisible force.

He barely had time to think about what had just happened, while the invisible force simply covered his body and sent him forward, changing his expression from rage to fear.

"What?!" He exclaimed in fright as he saw his body falling in front of the stranger, and he barely had time to look at him before he felt a force pressing him upward, as his head lifted and his mouth opened against his will.

There was only fear in the man's eyes, seeing Severus standing there staring at him with the same glowing eyes. He hadn't even moved his hands or had a wand, it seemed he did all of this with mere thought. For the first time, that man saw someone more terrifying than the Dark Lord himself.

Severus took something from the system, as the vial was opened and poured into the man's mouth in front of him. "This is Veritaserum. Let's see what you can tell me." Severus emptied the vial as the man choked, releasing him, and he fell to the ground coughing for several seconds.

"I want you to tell me now. Who are you?" Severus began asking.

"Sarian Avery..." He said, against his will. Severus recognized him as the uncle of Avery, whom he used to see around at Hogwarts.

"What are your crimes, what did you do to be here?" Severus asked.

The man swallowed hard, he didn't answer, and then his leg broke in the next moment.

"AHHHH!!!" This stranger had simply broken his leg without making any movement, without having a wand in his hands, how could he do something like that, Sarian's mind was in chaos at that moment, why the hell had he spoken to this stranger when he saw him. He was terrifying.

"I'll break every part of your body, maybe I'll fix it afterward and start breaking everything again, I have plenty of time tonight." Severus spoke as a threat meant to be carried out, which made the man tremble.

There was no way not to speak. "Stop!" He said quickly, feeling his other leg about to be broken. "Please, I'll tell!" He begged, and Severus did nothing more.

"I killed three entire families, Muggle families, I tortured them with the Cruciatus and then killed them all, I found it pleasurable to kill the daughters in front of the parents while they screamed in despair, then I killed the parents. But they were only Muggles, their lives are nothing more than entertainment for us pure-bloods to play with. Besides that, I followed the Dark Lord in his missions, working for him all the time. AHHHHHH!!!!" He didn't even finish before his other leg was broken by the invisible force.

"I see. Come here!" Severus said, ignoring the man's desperate scream as he looked at the Dementors who were staring at him from a distance. He gave them an order, and one of them actually approached Severus.

"I want you to give him the Dementor's Kiss and end this." Severus said, and the man, crying in pain, trembled upon hearing it. He immediately tried to get up, but both of his legs were broken.

"Please!" He said as he saw the creature, though cautious of Severus, obey and begin to kiss him, sucking his soul, until the light began to leave, before the Dementor devoured him completely, and the man's body fell inert to the ground afterward. There were screams from the other cells, witnessing all that with dazed eyes and fear. That stranger was cruel and terrifying, even by their standards.

"Good..." Severus looked satisfied at the dead worm and continued moving forward after that, now he had to go after Voldemort's cell, it was time to kill him.
