"Hm..."
Dr Harold, more commonly going by his first name, Eli, paused before the sarcophagus. Finally...he was there. Before the sarcophagus of Anubis himself, the god of death, sometimes known as Anpu. His hair was slicked back with more sweat than gel, though it had been a dirty-blonde colour before he had spent the day, once again, striving to source out the entrance to the tomb. There were a couple of wrinkles at the corners of his eyes and across his brow, but Eli was only in his late twenties.
Still young enough, however, to be more than a bit reckless... And that was only going to turn out well for him, that time.
He adjusted the neckerchief, which was tied at his throat, though it was already encrusted with dust from the narrow passageway that he had had to traverse just to get down there and to slip into the tomb itself.
He did not dare touch the walls. He knew of the tales as old as time itself, of those that had found their way into other tombs and met their doom. Whether that had been due to deadly bacteria and mould on the tomb walls or a curse, Eli was not willing to chance things.
Not when he finally had his chance to see if the scroll was real...
Deep within the sarcophagus, Anubis slumbered, still aware of the world beyond their sarcophagus and their tomb. Long imprisoned like an Egyptian ruler within a sarcophagus, Anubis had not died. His followers... So very long ago they had turned on him, destroying his physical body before binding his spirit, locking it into the fibre of the inscriptions, laced with the blood of those that had sacrificed themselves for the ritual.
And then...he could only be freed. No more than that. He could only slumber, waiting, seething, churning in his fury for those that had betrayed him. Even when all seemed lost and an archaeologist with motives appeared with a scroll.
Finally...
Dimly, Anubis' consciousness flickered out, touching the presence of the human who had entered his tomb, still in slumber. Everything was slow, deeply sluggish, yet he recognised a change.
They have come...
For it was by no means a coincidence.
Anubis' influence had spread, while imprisoned, placing that very scroll in Eli's path, back in the research library, even though Eli was not to know that Anubis had orchestrated him finding that scroll, all so that he could free Anubis. It was not as if a god would have wanted to be imprisoned forever, after all, so Anubis' spirit had done a little night-walking, drifting between dreams, until it found the right human to serve him and free him. The fact that the scroll was the only one that could free him, having been the one to bind him too, was an added complication. And it had all come to fruition, or so the faint consciousness of the god thought, in that moment.
Mmmmm...
Anubis groaned, stirring slowly. His spirit swirled, clamouring against the inner walls of the sarcophagus, where it had been sealed shut. A canine-like muzzle opened in a snarl, though Anubis was so much more than a plain dog, no, despite his monstrous, dog-like form, with the dark head and body of a jackal that came from another world.
Yes... He hissed, words returning, fluttering around his head as something surged within him, finally feeling as if he had the physical presence of his chest there again. More... My followers... They still live!
Of course, he was not to know that it wasn't one of his followers, the devoted ones, that had come, as a chanting incantation wove around and around him, bidding him up and up and up. His physical body was coming, condensing into muscle and sinew, jaws lining with teeth, finally blinking, sitting up straight through the solid sarcophagus.
Eli reeled back, half-dropping the scroll, though his eyes remained wide, a greedy smile tugging at his lips. Finally! Anubis himself... The scroll... The ritual... It had all worked! Even though Eli was not just there to free Anubis, the rest would come to pass too, what he really wanted the god to do.
For him, of course.
It, perhaps, should not have been a moment of such pure revelation and joy, as if a thrill was coursing through him from an outside force. There was simply so much power there, flowing and swirling, his fingers tingling with the force of it, an unseen wind sending the scroll flapping wildly between his hands. Still, Eli held onto it, lips parted, finishing the incantation as the god of death himself lifted from the sarcophagus, hands spread wide, his glossy, dark fur gleaming with an otherworldly light.
"Ah..." Anubis rumbled. "This... My form... I have risen to enact my revenge!"
His eyes locked onto his follower, the small man, however insignificant he was -- ah, yes, he would be important to him! Anubis advanced, closing and opening his fist, letting the moment wash through him, the solidity that he felt in his new body, revelling in just how it had felt to tremble with power once more.
For it was his form, the scroll granting him a body with which to take his revenge and to lead his followers on a rampage of death -- of pure, clean, permanent death. His goals were simple, as a god, and he needed no ulterior motive to be who he was born to be, baring his fangs, his head bare but for his natural fur, though he would be able to form his true headdress in true form and time.
"You..." He rumbled, pointing a single finger, tipped with a shiny claw, at Eli. "You will bow before me!"
And yet...Eli had other ideas. He didn't need to merely release Anubis -- and that was not at all what the ritual was about for him, not as he smirked, heart pounding with excitement. Something twitched in his crotch, his need rising, clawing up within him, desire pulling taut where he had thought it would be well-restrained.
The scroll... It did not only contain information on how to release Anubis, no. But it told just how to change things up a little, so that the god of death would not only be released from his tomb and given his form...but also a way in which to bind Anubis to the will of the one who had released them.
He gulped and took a step back. It was hard, lips still moving, ignoring the bellowing roar of Anubis, how the god towered, dense smoke swirling around him. The jackal's ears pricked and the darkness in his eyes brimmed over and seethed, even though Anubis surely could only have thought that Eli had come to release him.
But Eli chanted and chanted, shaking faintly, trusting the scroll. If he had, at the very least, been able to raise Anubis from the scroll, it stood to reason that he could be bound to the will of a mortal too...
"Avast enterium vivarron tenesslum vivagol..."
He did not understand the words, though it could only have been fate that their pronunciation was correct, for it was not in a language that he understood.
"You..." Anubis growled, advancing a step, fingers hooked as if to draw attention to the gleaming, black claws tipping them. "You... You will be my first follower!"
The jackal god bared his teeth and yet Eli could not be swayed, even though the god was darkly dominating with a broad chest that still, somehow, managed to be elegant, refined in a way that no mortal would ever be able to attain. And yet that could be refined, yes, brought down to a form that would better suit Eli's needs while using the god for his own means...
Anubis paused. He grunted, standing up tall, rolling his shoulders back.
Something was wrong.
"What is this?"
He dragged out his words in a low grumble, his tail tucking down, though, in him, it was a sign of aggression rather than fear. His fingers ached, as if something was spreading through him, not akin to him fully dunking his fingers and hands in a pool of his own power -- even if that was not something that could be seen by the mortal eye.
He snarled, lips pulling back from his teeth -- but it was too late. He could only wait there, his feet feeling as if they had suddenly become no more than lead, weighing him down and forcing him to stand there, tipped forward, his knees slightly bent.
The jackal god's eyes widened.
"No..."
He howled -- but the ritual had begun and there was no way for him to stop it, not as he roiled and ravaged against the bindings that were coming for him. They closed around his neck, his chest and his arms too, wrapping down to his midsection and then his upper thighs.
"No... Nooooo!"
Cursed! To think that he was a powerful god -- and yet could be bound just like that? And yet it was Anubis himself who had been imprisoned in the sarcophagus for so many years -- so many years indeed that he had no idea at all just how long it had been.
