52 Monkeys Palm (2/2)
”Regardless I still accept I'm not exactly in the greatest position to refuse help from strangers no matter how shady they are”.
The strange man laughed ”see Ragnar there's no problem here I'll even tell the man what I want right not to ease your mind”. He then turned to Desmond and said in a cold tone ”A life for a life I want you to grow up big and strong climb as high as you can up the bodies that pile up beneath you then add me to that pile.
When you become interesting or strong enough I'll come to seek you out. If you can not manage to do that than you can also find a way to entertain me, but I warn you I've done many things in my life so finding something I haven't done that may be hard. This is a simple request don't you agree?”.
Desmond was a bit shocked by the request the strange man made, but he already agreed so he can't back out. ”You want to have a battle to the death or for me to find some way to entertain you”
The strange man shrugged his shoulders ”you said it not me, now let me mark you so I can find you when the time is right. This mark will also give you a bit of encouragement when you're down on your luck and thinking of backing out of our deal by doing something stupid like dying too early”.
The strange man's coat parted away inside was nothing, but darkness and giant meaty raven claw bigger than my whole body with talons that were blacker than night. He extended a talon to my forehead than drew back what was probably his leg back into his coat.
Ragnar was mumbling to himself in anger before he spoke again ”making that same request to people why don't you walk up to a rank 4 magi if you're looking to die so much. No one has been able to complete your request in how many years yet you still give it to people what do you even want them to do?”. The strange man looked at Ragnar and puffed smoke in his face than replied not saying a thing to anyone than left out the front door that seems to always be stuck.
The room was quite only Ragnar and Desmond remained it seemed as though it was going to stay that way until Desmond spoke. ”Ragnar was that man a magi” Ragnar looked at Desmond than through a book at him that knocked him on the floor.
”You should have listened to me now your involved with him and to answer your question it's both yes and no. He is a strange guy that is hard to understand he is a treasure hunter that's all I'll say on the matter”
Desmond rubbed his butt that was in pain from suddenly getting knocked on the floor ”fine don't tell me can I at least buy some books than”.
”What you got isn't enough”
