Chương 8: Deal with the Devil

Kai opened his eyes and found himself standing next to his broken car. As soon as Kai had opened his eyes he had felt a pair of eyes glaring at him intently from behind.

Kai turned around and saw a head sized dark grey coloured smoky mass with two bright red glowing eyes.

The eyes were silted, similar to the eyes of a snake. The smoky mass' hate-filled gaze turned to surprise and doubt. It looked like it was wondering why the curse had failed in its task- killing Kai.

The smoky mass growled in anger and frustration" This is the second time that I've failed to kill to kill a weak defenceless human with the Avada Kadavra curse".

Kai inferred that the smoky mass was, in fact, Voldemort's soul fragment due to the following reasons.

The first was due to the smoky mass that escaped in the first HP book when Professor Quirrell was defeated.

The second reason was that Kai understood that the mass was Voldemort was because of the slited eyes that greatly resembled a snake's.

The third and final reason, that was also the main reason, was how the smoky mass shouted that the Avada Kadavra curse had failed him earlier that night.

Once Kai concluded that the smoky mass in front of him was indeed Voldemort, he understood that he could reach an agreement if he said the right reasons.

Kai wanted Voldemort to teach him magic because Voldemort was the strongest wizard in the Harry Potter series apart from Dumbledore.

But Kai believed otherwise, he theorized that if had his complete soul then he would be able to defeat Dumbledore, alas it would never happen because Voldemort hungered for immortality, so he wouldn't give up on Horcruxes.

Therefore, Kai had to convince Voldemort to teach him and in order to convince him, Kai had to give Voldemort enough benefits with the correct Emperor-like attitude.

He had to give out the benefits that Voldemort desired. The first would be Immortality that Kai could give Voldemort in the form of the vampire physique. The second also related to the vampire physique was the creation of a powerful physical body. The third was an improvement in Voldemort's magic, and the last was changing Voldemort's cause of death. In other words, changing his destiny.

Kai had an ulterior motive when he wanted to create the deal with Voldemort, to make Voldemort his right-hand man, his second in command.

Once Kai had rearranged his thoughts and managed to create reasons to convince Voldemort. At that moment Kai felt like an unscrupulous businessman trying to con a customer into buying a faulty product when Kai and Voldemort would both be earning from the trade.

Kai looked at Voldemort and said with an authoritative tone, (Kai believed that if you want to appear in control you have to radiate confidence, control and authority). "Voldemort, I assume, can I call you Tom? It's just that Voldemort just doesn't roll off the tongue like Tom does. The reason I found you, Tom, is that I believe we can help each other, which is why I sought you out.

Tom Riddle asked Kai "how do you know that name, how can you help me and how did the killing curse not harm you?".

"Tom I will try my best to answer each of your questions, the first being your name- Tom Marvolo Riddle. I know everything about you, who you are, what you have done and what you will do in the future". Kai leaned in towards the spectre with a mysterious and crazy light in his eyes.

However, Tom didn't seem to believe Kai and doubted his words.

Kai continued "I know that you are doubting my word, I would as well". When Kai said that sentence he raised his hand to emphasize with Tom. "But to make you believe my words I will have to give you some proof."

Tom's spectral silted eyes narrowed when he heard the rest of Kai's sentence but continued to listen. Kai seemed to be very relaxed and gave off a laid-back aura.

I know for starters that you had a spy giving you the information about the Potters secret hiding place. And he was their secret keeper, I also know that you had him for a year. What was his name again?

Kai put his hand to his forehead in a gesture that seemed like he was recalling the spy's name.

"Ah yes" Kai exclaimed, "his name was Peter Pettigrew, but you called him Worm Tail".

Voldemort looked mildly surprised but didn't seem all that impressed.

Kai sensed it and the said "It seems like you haven't been dazzled by my knowledge.

Therefore, I should tell you about your Horcruxes.

I'll begin with your first- the diary of your 16-year-old self that had 50% of your soul and was created after you murdered Myrtle a student at Hogwarts using the basilisk's eyes to petrify her.

The second was Marvolo Gaunt's Ring that had 25% of your soul and was created by the murder of your muggle father Tom Riddle Senior.

The third was Salazar Slytherin's locket, that had 12.5% of your soul and was created by the death of some insignificant muggle in your opinion and I must mention that you never even asked for his name when you were using his death to create something so important.

The fourth was Helga Hufflepuff's cup, that had 6.25% of your soul and was created by the murder of Hepzibah Smith.

The fifth was Rowena Ravenclaw's diadem that had 3.125% of your soul was created by the murder of an Albanian muggle."

Kai changed his tone into a mocking one and continued." You once again didn't even ask for the name of the second muggle either.

The last complete Horcrux that you will make if I didn't appear would be Nagini your loyal serpent and she would merely have 0.390625% of your soul. She is turned into a Horcrux by the murder of Bertha Jorkins.

In addition to the complete Horcruxes, you have also created pseudo Horcruxes. One is Harry Potter who has 1.5% of your soul and was turned into a pseudo Horcrux by the deaths of Lily and James Potter.

And the last one is Quirinus Quirrell who was corrupted and then turned into your puppet when you possessed his body with your current spectral form.

And to summarise all this information, we have discovered that two out of six of your Horcruxes' sacrifices names were unknown."

Tom stared at Kai in disbelief and fear that quickly escalated into terror, as his spectral form quickly floated away from Kai.

"What do you want from me" Tom stuttered. "Oh, you finally believe me, I thought that I would have to tell you were each Horcrux was hidden to get you to believe me. But to answer your question, I would like to make a contract with you. You will teach me your world's magic and in return, I will give you various tools that will help you."

"What do you mean by tools?" "I will give you an alternative way to reach immortality, the power defeat Dumbledore and knowledge on how to change your fate from dying at the manipulations of destiny".

Tom asked Kai "Why do want me to teach you magic?" "I want you to teach me magic because I'm bored. That's all, this is all a game to me. So, it doesn't matter to me whether you agree or don't".

After Kai gave Tom some time to think about his offer, he himself was nervous and worried that he hadn't acted properly. Then after what seemed like a century-long wait, Tom agreed to the deal.

Tom had thought to himself that it would be better to temporarily accept Kai's offer than to turn it down. He thought that he didn't have anything to lose anyway, so he will agree for the time being and see what Kai can do.

Tom thought that Kai's offer seemed very similar to what he envisioned making a deal with the devil would be like.

When Kai heard Tom agree to make the deal he was euphoric with joy, due to him having the chance to learn magic. In addition to the pure joy of making magic, he had a fatal weakness his weak soul. He thought that if he learnt magic he would be able to strengthen his soul and get rid of his weakness.

But at the same time, he told himself that he should be wary of Tom as he didn't gain his reputation as the most powerful dark wizard in history for nothing.

Both men had agreed to the deal and therefore Kai asked Tom "Do you, Tom Marvolo Riddle agree to the deal between Kai Natasa? In this deal, Tom will teach Kai magic and in return, Kai will bestow upon Tom power and knowledge to change his fate and an alternative path to immortality!"

"I do!" shouted Tom in his spectral form. Kai also said, "I do". Kai then said, "the deal is done!" and then he swept his arms into the air creating large gusts of wind that destroyed the surroundings.
