Change of fate
Chapter 9
The weeks at Hogwarts had been fairly boring for Anubis as he went through his lessons and scored the highest marks on all his tests, the only highlight of his day was spending time Daphne and the other girls as they talked over the mirrors James potter had shown him how to make. As things seemed to get more boring as time went on he decided it would be fun to go and explore the chamber of secrets and deal with Salazar's pet basilisk, the only reason he knew of it was because of tom riddles memories he absorbed before the blasted human got away from him. As he made his way to moaning myrtles bathroom he thought about what he was going to do after he dealt with the old man and Voldemort, he would probably go after Blackwatch, and free the Elizabeth from those bastards he thought with his hands curling up into fists. When he arrived at the bathroom he noticed that myrtle was absent and shrugged before he hissed at the sinks to open, when they opened he jumped down the shaft and slid down until he reached a chamber filled with bones of small animals. As Anubis picked himself up from the floor and proceeded to the main gate to the chamber, he thought about how to deal with the basilisk. Probably use my Redlight powers might get me a new ability as I heard that basilisk I fatal to almost everything he thought as he arrived at the gate, as it creaked open the chamber light up showing him the chamber in its full glory.
The chamber itself was very intimidating to the average human; luckily Anubis was anything but human, as he walked down the path towards the face of Salazar Slytherin's he morphed his arms into claws and heated them using his magic so that they could pass through solid steel with little difficulty. When he stopped at the face he spoke the words needed to open the gate for Salazar's monster to emerge, "Speak to me, Slytherin, greatest of the Hogwarts Four". As the mouth opened and the monster slid out it turned its gaze onto him and hissed at him "who are? You are not the one who came before but I feel masters ring on you?" before it could continue with its questions, Anubis hissed at it angrily, "be quiet serpent and listen" when it remained silent he continued "now I am your new lord and I ask you this, are you going to attack me since I am not blood related to you master?" the great serpent just shook its head. "Good now do you have any young that I can use for a familiar, I wish to continue the tradition of the Slytherin family by having a basilisk as my familiar" the serpent looked at him for a moment before heading back into her den. Anubis only had wait a few moments before the serpent returned with an egg in its mouth which it gently set down in front of him, the egg was not very big, probably the size of his head, and it had no special highlights on it.
"This child has been waiting since the time of my master for her chosen master; I hope it will be you" the serpent said as it watched him place his hand on the egg. At first nothing happened but after a moment the egg began to shake as it cracked open, after a few minutes it exploded and their lay a small basilisk, the creature was midnight black and it was only a meter long and its eyes were shut no doubt from the sensitivity to the light around it. Anubis decided that in order for it to fully bond with him, he would need to be the first thing that it touches, as he put his hand on its head he hissed to gently "hello little one I am Anubis, your new master do you wish to bond with me?" when he looked up at the serpent looking at him very closely he felt something bite into his hand, when he looked at what it was he felt something connect with his mind and he realized that it was the baby serpent bonding with him, in order for the bond to be completed he willed some of his blood into the serpent and made it change the creature until it was nigh impossible to kill. When the bonding finished he looked at his new familiar and saw that her eyes were open and he had only smiled at what he saw, violet eyes met violet eyes.
Meanwhile in the serpents body great changes were being made to her, for one the magic of her master was making her hide near impervious to magical attacks, but the Redlight oh the Redlight was making the most drastic of changes. Her hide thickened until it was as hard as diamond but as flexible as before, her teeth grew sharper and her venom turned acidic and she grew a gland that allowed her to spray it at her masters enemies, her senses improved drastically and she developed at heat vision. Her basilisk stare sadly changed so that it could only petrify her enemies and last but not least she developed the ability to adapt her body to any situation, including changing her body to that of a female human or growing wing's. As she was thinking about all the things that had happened to her she barely heard her master say "what is your name my young friend?"
As Anubis looked at his familiar he could feel her thinking very hard, probably trying to find her name no doubt he thought dryly, when he heard hiss again he was brought out of his musings. "Asha master, my name is Asha". Anubis nodded his head and held his arm out for to slither onto, when she was settled on his shoulder he turned back to the great serpent and hissed "from now on you are allowed to roam the forest, but keep away from humans I do not want to hear of any deaths, understand? Also I want you to disregard anyone else that comes down he and orders you to do something, if this happens you will come and find me" when she nodded he turned to leave when he got an idea. With the venom from Asha's bite he could probably make some sort of weapon with it, as he willed his body to create this weapon he could feel his right arm changing before it stopped. What had been his right arm was now a midnight black claw of sorts, his elbow was a tube with blades running along the side of it while the rest of his arm was covered with small skull white spikes, probably the size of an adult thumb. Deciding to try it out he aimed his arm at one of the statues and fired, a spike from his upper arm was sucked into his arm and launched out of his arm with a purple substance coated on it. Most likely the venom he thought with some mirth as he stared at his new weapon proudly, after inspecting it for a moment he left with his new familiar ready to face the rest of the year knowing he had one less problem to deal with.
