Cursed Reliquary

by Khanathara


Perspective: Sonata

As I ended the spell I looked over to my 'sisters'. Faust these two are stupid.

They seriously think that Adagio taught me a spell. A spell that I already knew and used endlessly for that matter, why do you think I never stop talking?

I mean, we're not even related. I just planted that in their heads. I was going to make them into mind slaves, but their personality's proved to useful to be erased, so sisters loyal only to each other. It is cute how Adagio thinks she's in charge though.

This place, though? I recognize demon magic when I feel it, and there is without a doubt an archdemon of some kind here. The best part about this is the fact that demons of this power are arrogant and easy to manipulate. A simple deal stacked in my favor and I have another demon under my control.

'Shit' I turned around to find myself face to face a pitch black Abyssinian. His pricing slit green eyes were unusual in a way I just couldn't place thanks to the glow they emitted. "Well, now I don't demon."

He let out a huff of amusement and spoke.

"In terms of strength and cunning they can be quite useful. But when it comes to magic they are rather pathetic." I brought my eyes back to lock with his. "Maybe you would like to have them in order to make a deal, what do ya say."

'Damn cowards. I have almost no good options thanks to them.' "Alright, then how about this. You can take whatever deal they offer you, and I will work for you for... lets say five years. That means five years of doing whatever you want when you want it. And I do mean whatever you want." I made sure to tap into my bound succubus' magic to turn up the sex appeal as much as possible.

"D̷o̶ ̵y̶o̸u̵ ̸t̵r̷u̴l̸y̶ ̷b̸e̷l̸i̶e̷v̵e̷.̶.̶.̶" He trailed off in thought.

"Well?"

"Heh, heh, heh, alright. You have a deal, my little warlock."
