It was midnight. The moon was covered by sparse clouds, and one dark shape went to the place he was told. It was young Tobias, and he was wearing his entire black attire, but with the hood of his cloak over his head.
He stood along the banks, exactly where the scorpion had told him to. So this is the place? Oddly tranquil....I honestly expected somewhere a bit.....darker. Somewhere in the trees, an owl cooed, setting the mood.
Tobias' eyes darted like the typically did. His father had told him to always be on his guard. The Society would be like his new family, though more of an allegiance that he would have to earn first. So to be careful, his hand was on his wand, waiting...waiting...
Tobias was both ecstatic and terrified at the same time. One: He was face to face with Count Scorpius. Two: His life was in the Hands of Count Scorpius. He had to use all of his will to attempt to keep a straight face. He stood slightly, only to bow infront of the Count. "Mi'lord, my name is Tobias Selther...the Second. I have come to fufill a promise to my late father, Tobias Selther the First, and take his space in the Society of Shadows. It was both his wish and mine." For the first time since his arrival in Spain, Tobias looked up to face the Lord of Shadows, eye to eye. And anyone who ever knew Tobias Selther the First, could see that his son had his father's eyes.
"I await your judgement, mi'lord Scorpius...and also wish to say that your attack on Triangle Tunnel was spectacular...I only wish that I could have partaken in it." Tobias could not help but tremble slightly. His life could end right here, right now, orhe could begin his life anew with the Society of Shadows. The wind picked up slightly, scattering the dirt around his own cloak as well.
Tobias stood, regaining his composure, and nodded. "I am ready and willing Mi'lord. But for an Unbreakable Vow, isn't a Bonder needed?" Perhaps...perhaps Lord Scorpius had found a way to bypass needing a Bonder for the Unbreakable Vow. Tobias had now grown much calmer, knowing that is life was not forfeight...for the moment.
There was an odd silence after the Lord of Shadow's words, but that was to be expected. His father told him that the embodiment of power typically had that effect on people. He remembered exactly what the First toled him to do. Remain calm, and obey every command, even if it seems to be suicide. It is simply a test of loyalty.
Tobias stood, and righted himself, before bowing slightly. "Thank you, mi'lord Scorpius. I vow to never betray the Society. Tobias looked at his new attire in awe. In his mind, he allowed a lapse of composure. This...is....SO COOL! But then Tobias raised himself to Lord Scorpius once more. "Well then, what are my orders, Lord Scorpius?"
Tobias had a feeling of pride and power. Now, none would be able to stand against him. He was part of the Sodalitus a Umbras....he was a Shadow. The wind had an ominous tone as it blew down the path of the river, making his robes flutter, almost stereotypically. One could now say he was pure evil, but he prefered the term, "Chivilrously challenged."
Tobias stood alone once more on the bank of the river. "So then...recon...one starts small I suppose...but I could not ask for a better oppurtunity...." He looked at his own relfection in the crystal-clear water of the Shining River. "...The weak...pathetic...insignificant Tobias Selther is dead...and out of the ashes..."
He silently drew his wand towards himself, and muttered a silent incantation. In a swirl of black flames, his Society robes and badge were gone, replaced by his Slytherin Uniform and badge. To test, he muttered the incantation again, and his out fit changed back into his Society garments, in the same fashion they left. I would bet fifty galleons that this is how Las Vegas dancers change so fast.
Donning his school clothes once more, Tobias turned, and walked back to the school. Sodalitas a Umbras...the Society of Shadows.......his new allience...his destiny. And He gazed upon his new reflection, and what He saw, was good.
