51 Promise (1/2)
Ragnar shot up from his chair, slammed his hand on the counter, and shouted loudly ”that is enough”. Ragnar looked at Desmond worriedly wanting to warn him about the guy in front of him.

”You can not accept any kind of help from this guy he is always planning something that results in everyone getting screwed over. So if you want to live to see tomorrow stay away from this man as much as you can”. Ragnar gave a clear warning really hoping Desmond listened to what he had to say.
The strange man simply blew a big puff of smoke after listing to what Ragnar said ”You make me look like some kind of bad guy. I promise I'm not trying to trick anyone here all I want to do is lend him some aid If you still don't, believe me, I'll even swear it on my heart.
The strange man then took out his hand from his coat he was wearing a tightly fit worn-out leather glove. In his hand was a red human heart still beating just as lively as it would in a person's chest. The strange man took the heart in his hand swearing wholeheartedly that he was telling the truth and wasn't scheming anything.
”You happy now Ragnar for people at my level words have a great deal more strength than normal that why they can become a binding force that's why we have to watch what we say. If you don't trust me even after that then I'm going to start thinking you just don't trust me as a person. What about me could possibly scream untrustworthy?”.
Ragnar had an angry face as he snarled at the strange man with sharp teeth speaking only one word in response ”EVERYTHING”
Putting away his heart and puffing more smoke out the strange man turned away from Ragnar once more ”well that's not for you to decide now is it if you stop me here there is nothing stopping me from finding him again later.” Ragnar snarled and barked at the strange man, but he ignored it.
The strange man disappeared from where he originally stood to reappear behind Desmond in a blink of an eye. He leaned in close to Desmond's ear and spoke releasing a cold wind down Desmond's neck ”So what do you want from me? if it's within reason it's yours”.
Desmond was startled away the man moved faster than he could see yet not a single bit of the smoke spread around the room showed a trail for the path he took. Answers to what the strange man did form in his mind and possible ways to counter him if possible, but then Desmond realized how stupid what he was doing actually was.
The same thing happened again Desmond he knew this was a complete repeat of before whenever he pursues magic something or someone steps in his way it happened with Vincent than the mirror man and now the strange man. The only difference is the strange man is offering to help Desmond break out of the loop he keeps finding himself in. But, the price he would have to pay would probably be very great.
