Chapter 4-Its Tradition
"Parsaltongue"
"Greek"
xxxxxxxxxxxx
It wasn't until two days later that Orion had the chance to speak to Salazar, who was a bit skeptical of his story to say the least, but was willing to agree that Orion at least thought what he said was true. It was apparently impossible to lie in Parsaltongue. Walking back to the common room he couldn't help but think that there was of course a catch...As always.
-Flash back-
"So you will help then?"Asked Orion confused Salazar just smirked
"Perhaps, I require proof however that you are indeed a Demigod and i know just how to do so..." Orion eyed him warily
"Im not going to like this am I?" He said warily Salazar laughed
"Definitely not, after all is it not the tradition for the children of the Gods to prove them selves by defeating some great beast?Orion paled a little at this but stared defiantly back at the portrait
"What did you have in mind?" He asked with conviction Salazar smirked.
"As you know there is currently a monster roaming the school, yes?" He asked Orion nodded. "This monster is indeed a creature I left in the school 1000 years ago, its original purpose was however not to kill the students but thats another matter. The creature is my pet Basilisk Oro, as a Parsaltongue you will be immune to her gaze, but that is the only advantage you will have here. You will fight her without spells and kill her. Only a Demigod could kill a Basilisk without using spells, so we shall see what you truly are wont we?" He said Orion stared at him dumbstruck for a moment he had read about Basilisks this was indeed going to be a challenge his eyes hardened though and he nodded. "Good," Said Salazar approvingly "You will find one of the entrances to the Chamber of Secrets on the first floor on the opposite side of the castle from the Great Hall behind the statue of the cobra. The password is Lamia"
Orion nodded frowning and looked back up at the portrait "Sir if Oro is your pet why do you want me to kill her?" He asked thoughtful Salazar sighed at this a sad look crossing his face
"The fool descendant of mine who now controls her used many dark curses to do so. It would be impossible to free her from them at this point, and she would rather be killed before she harms the children any further she always loved them." Orion nodded silently.
"Thank you for you help Lord Slytherin, ill return after I defeat her." He turned to walk away but paused and turned back to look at him again a chagrined look on his face "Um seeing as I cant use spells would you happen to know were I could get a sword? IHermonie don't have one."Salazar sighed and shook his head looking exasperated.
-End flash back-
So now he had to defeat a Basilisk he thought Hermonie was not going to like this, at all. But first, he had a sword to retrieve. So he headed towards the 7th floor as Salazar had instructed him too and found the tapestry, before walking back and forth in front of the wall at the end of the hall three time concentrating on the armory that was apparently here. After he passed the wall a third time a door appeared he eyed it for a moment before walking up and opening it. His jaw dropped at the shear number of weapons in the room he was going to have to show Hermonie this the first chance he got!
He walked in staring around himself in awe there had to be thousands of weapons in here! From bows, to swords, to lances, anything he could think of was in here all carefully organized on racks according to type. He glance around thoughtfully at the other weapons before heading for the racks containing the swords. He frowned and immediately discarded the English Broad Swords he didn't like them and they were too long for him to use effectively, how he knew this he wasn't sure, but they weren't the weapon for him. He walked along eyeing the racks waiting for something to catch his eyes.
Finally, near the end of the rack he caught a glint of silver that seemed different then the other weapons. He frowned again hunting around in the rack to find whatever was causing the reflection before spotting the hilt of a sword sticking out from under the back of the rack. The sword had come partly out of its sheath and it had been the unnaturally bright silver blade that had caught his attention.
After a bit of work and nearly knocking the whole rack over he got the sword out from underneath. He stared at it for a second before drawing the sword with an ease of long practice he most certainly didn't have. But he didn't notice this too busy staring at the strange metal of the blade, it was too bright to be steel and something told him that it wasn't silver even if thats what it looked like to him. Runes glinted on the blade running up the center on both sides. The sheath was black with silver fittings on the top and bottom and was decorated with a thunderbird in the center. Orion smiled slowly and sheathed the sword a glint in his eyes and buckled the belt on the sheath to his waist and turned leaving without hesitation he had what he needed now he had a Basilisk to kill.
From a portrait on the wall Salazar and Rowena Ravenclaw watched him go "You were right,it was him" He said quietly and grimaced "Good thing to, the mythral to forge the thing cost a fortune!" She smirked at him knowingly.
"Of course I was right my prophecies are never wrong." She said confidently Salazar just rolled his eyes.
"Do you think I should still have him fight Oro? I mean that proves it right there almost without doubt, the only Greek sword in the place let alone the only sword that would work on an immortal monster and he finds it in five minutes what are the chances of that?" He said she nodded.
"True especially because I spelled that blade so no mortal could ever pull it out of the sheath." Salazar stared at her smug expression for a moment before shaking his head with a sigh.
"You and your prophecies Rowena, but the fact still remains should I let him fight Oro? Demigod or not he's a 12 year old child with no real idea how to use that sword beyond his instincts." Rowena shook her head smiling sadly
"No its best if he does, we may know what he is now thanks to that sword, but i don't think he really believes it himself yet. "She looked at him again still smiling. "However, he does believes what you said, about how a mortal could never beat a thousand year old basilisk without magic, he needs to do this."
