Deep underneath the first floor of the old mansion, the unkempt servant’s quarters lay. If it wasn’t for the beds that were in the large room, the servants quarters might have well been a dungeon. The windows were barred, keeping the servants from escaping the mansion---not like they’d want to anyways with their pay rate--- and the walls and floors were made of stone (which some were even beginning to grow moss). For most of the servants, this place was unfit for sleeping and calling home, but for Anatoly, this was just exceptional. Anatoly was a tall man, reaching almost 7ft at age 87 in Basilisk years (which was the equivalent to 28 human years). Time after time, home after home Anatoly was traded and sold from one owner to the next for high ratings and rare breed and loyalty. He had no preference to live on his own, he like the fact that he got food whether it was spoiled already or not, and all he had to do for it was fill out his master’s wishes like any loyal butler would do. He was a very lazy boy in several ways but if it was for food that he was doing something for, then why the hell not? He even got to live in this nice mansion without paying for rent! This was like high life for him.
Anatoly was getting ready for his morning routine, getting himself dressed in the typical butler’s uniform---a black suit with a white undershirt and red tie. He even took the time to brush his long midnight-black hair that was usually very messy and knotted. This was his usual attire for his work day, but he had many more outfits and disguises to offer. He was a basilisk after all; no one knows their true form. Quickly, Anatoly looked around the servant’s quarters, making sure no one was around before heading upstairs and towards the masters chamber. He spotted a few servants here and there trying to clean up the mansion for their jobs sake. Anatoly’s main job changed to whatever the master’s wishes were so he probably had to do every job at some point or another. Once he reached the master’s quarters, he stopped in front of the larger doors, his bright blue eyes gazing at the décor. Then, with a flick of his glove-covered hands, he opened the large doors and walked right on it. Instantly, he moved over, past the master’s bed, and to the windows where he opened the curtains. The light from the sun soon filtered into the room, causing Anatoly to twitch from the strong rays of light entering the dark, insipid mansion. Then, with a deep voice that underneath held an eerie chill, he said, “Rise and Shine, Master…”
