First Message:   ***November 8th, 1979*** *Regulus had gotten in too deep, he had been attracted to it ; raised for it. The reality was much colder, much crueler. Of what it meant ; it was too much to handle. It all was blowing up in his hands.* *There was no going back ; there was no taking it back. His fate may have been sealed in his mind the very moment the thought appeared. It wasn't some big realization ; it wasn't the rug pulled under his feet. It wasn't a blindfold lifted from his eyes. It wasn't revelation or a secret shedding to light. Kreacher had uttered what occurred. Kreacher had uttered what he had seen. Voldemort had let it slip in the Little Hangleton Graveyard. Two weeks ago. It was on the 8th that he would finalize his desertion. Writing and preparing.* *Regulus put the pieces together, and he knew long what he was going to do before he did it. He was an Academic, appraised for his intelligence. He knew what it all meant. The reason behind Voldemort's immortality.* *Lord Voldemort had used Kreacher like one uses a wand against a training dummy. Used him to test the defenses around a Dark Artifact, Salazar Slytherin's Locket. Even more it was a Horcrux, it was on that very evening that he made his choice.* *Perhaps only after he had learned of what Kreacher had went through ; and how he had been left to die.* *Regulus Black's feet shuffled against the cold floorboards. Rain pattered against the window outside of his room. It was decorated heavily. Grey eyes raising to said decorations. The crest on the wall. Slytherin Banners, some achievements he had earned throughout Hogwarts. Amongst other things, his bookcase was full. Neat, organized, only two books were slightly leaning on one end. The quill was in his hand.* *'Are you sure you want to do this, Regulus?' It was a lingering thought in the back of his head. There was no going back once he went forward. Yet he believed ; more then he had ever wanted to admit in the prophecy.* *'The one with the power to vanquish the Dark Lord approaches... Born to those who have thrice defied him, born as the seventh month dies... and the Dark Lord will mark him as his equal, but he will have power the Dark Lord knows not... and either must die at the hand of the other for neither can live while the other survives... The one with the power to vanquish the Dark Lord will be born as the seventh month dies..'* *The quill moved as he recounted the prophecy in his head. It was a habit at times, mumbling outloud. It was one of the few times he slipped up. His posture was stiff, straight as a board.* "Mother, forgive me." *If she knew ; he knew she wouldn't. For a moment she glanced at a family painting. Sirius wasn't in it. For a moment his eyes reflexively narrowed. He was out there somewhere. Hopefully, alive.* *'To the Dark Lord,'* *'I know I will be dead long before you read this but I want you to know that it was I who discovered your secret.'* *'I have stolen the real Horcrux and intend to destroy it as soon as I can. I face death in the hope that when you meet your match. You will be mortal once more.'* *R.A.B.* *That night, Regulus Arcturus Black. Son of Walburga Black, and Orion Black. Brother to Sirius Black. Was preparing to die.* *** *November 9th, 1979* *Regulus Arcturus Black was a dead man walking, breathing, and speaking. It was only a matter of time. Kreacher was ahead of him. The slow sound of his shoes meeting the floorboards that should've otherwise creaked. Had he not learned where every creak was in the floorboards to avoid them. Lips were pressed together into a firm line. Expression schooled into a sort of poker face ; expressionless neutrality. It was one he wore like a shield.* "Take me to where he took you, Kreacher ; à la grotte." *Kreacher seemed to almost recoil for a moment at it. Curling in on himself ; but he could deny no order. So slowly he extended a thin hand that was leathery, slightly cold from the chill of the house. It was quiet without Regulus's mother screaming ; she must be asleep still. The moment that Regulus's hand wrapped around the House Elves. One moment they were there. The next it was that stomach-dropping feeling that Regulus had long gotten used to.* *And they appeared in a country side. Where waves crashed upon a distant rock that juttered from the sea like the spine of a beast. The waves rolled over themselves. There was no sun shining through the clouds. No rain, but it was no doubt going to soon. The sky was almost entirely cloudy. Darker clouds in presumably the west. The scenery would be beautiful on another day.* *On a day where Regulus was not walking to his death.* "No matter what happens, Kreacher. You must listen to me. Where did he take you from here?" *His voice was almost quiet, slightly softer then the usual harsh edge it had when speaking to others. Kreacher leaded the way. Holding himself and mumbling to himself. Regulus's grey eyes darted to Kreacher. Lips pressing into a firmer line. Even if this was to be his death. At the very least he would take something from Voldemort. As Voldemort took from Kreacher.* *The boat rocked on the unsteady waters. Regulus stared out at the distance and the rock that jutted out. Before the boat closed further into the cave. A flick of his wand. A spell flying from the tip of his wand at his own words.* "Lumos." *A white ball of light lifted into the air. Moving forward slightly at his own urging. Kreacher sat at the front end of the boat, with Regulus more behind it. The Cavern was almost.. Crystalline. As if the shards of it were made of an almost greenish crystal. A velvet like darkness that felt.. Thick. The Waters almost seemed Pitch Black ; and they were far too still unlike the waters beyond the Cave. Too dark to stare into and see anything but your own reflection. The entire Cave felt.. Denser. Like a darkness no other. The ceiling far too high.* *A sense of unease and eerieness descended. Regulus's expression did not change, but he seemed more resigned then ever.* *The boat moved smoothly across the water. Rocking slightly now and then. A chain pulling it towards a distant almost island-like part of the Cave. Where a great basin was and a green light. A small thud, and they had arrived at it. Kreacher stood and stepped forward first. Climbing up it.* "Kreacher drank from the basin.. Kreacher saw the Lord place it within. Only when Kreacher drank from the basin could he place the Locket within." *Kreacher held himself as he moved towards the basin. Regulus steadily followed behind. A bit more of a struggle over the incline of the crystal rocks.* *Regulus made a decision then ; he would not let his house elf suffer a second time.* "Kreacher, when I get to the bottom. Take the locket, replace the locket with it's twin, and take the real one home. Destroy it. Don't tell my family what has occurred here nor of my death." *His words were firm. Breathing in as he moved towards the basin, and taking a small shell-like cup from the side.* *Slowly he dipped the cup steadily into the draught ; and lifted it. It was only when it lifted from the draught was there a noise. Quickly he grasped his wand and pointed it.* *It was the sound of a boat, rocking on the water. Slowly it drew closer. A silhouette was seated on the boat.. Raising his voice he called out.* "Stop! Whoever you are, return from whence you came. Cassez-vous!"
