112 The Truth (2/2)
”What the hell are you?”.
Zane turned towards Desmond covered in the blood of the fire panther from head to toe and said, ”You and every other person I meet ask the same question and I give the same answer. I don't know why don't you try and find out?”.
Zane then began to stare at Desmond menacingly while Seraphine had her head down rubbing her brow because of the painful headache Zane was giving her. Ragnar was fine with what had just happened because that was the least annoying/disturbing thing Zane has did since he showed up.
Desmond not wanting to touch the mess Zane was trying to unleash with a 9-foot pole turned to Ragnar and said, ”how are you friends with him?”.
Ragnar sitting shirtless at the table because Zane ripped most of his clothes during their fight looked towards Zane then at Desmond and said, ”that's a bit complicated. You see here is what you have to understand about Zane. On a good day, he will plan your death out loud. He will even go into the tiniest details with you.
On a normal day, he will actively try to kill you even go out of his way to ruin any plan that you have. When he tells you to do something normal like go get firewood, go buy some ingredients, or watch my food that's when you have a problem. It means he's bored and has a plan in store for you. That's your signal to drop everything that you're doing and run.

But despite how many times he tries to kill you he is somehow one of the most trustworthy people you will ever meet”.
After remembering a few close calls in her life because of Zane Seraphine began to laugh. ”Its true Zane had purposely brought us to death's door more times than I can count. Then he saves us at the last minute. When you're with Zane your always in for something stupid and crazy that will most likely get you killed, but somehow as an ally, there is no one better to have at your side. Whether you're in need of pure luck or skill with Zane at your side it doesn't matter because he makes a miracle always happen.
”Your words touch my withered heart, stop it now before I burn this place to the ground”. Zane uttered as he slammed his flipper on the table.
Zane and Seraphine just laughed his words off while Seraphine said as she giggled. ”there is no reason to do that I believe you. We will stop talking about the past instead let's get to the main topic at hand and talk about the past”.
”Mr.Gillies you wish to know why I spared your life when you found out I'm an assassin and even more why I saved you despite knowing full well your one of those special wandering souls that fully maintained there sentience which appeared 2 years ago. Well, the reason for that is because I'm not a bad person.
I kill for money not pleasure and while you do have a tempting price on your head. Even more so after I found out that you're an ancient spirit that has existed for thousands of years untainted by anything except for the souls of those people you consumed. Making me want you even more, but I resisted that urge to have you fully repay me for everything”.
Desmond became weary after learning what Seraphine wanted because in Desmond's time on Theotera he had learned of the terrible deals mages concoct. When making deals with some you have to nitpick every single word or else a simple transaction will have a person, for example, turned into an undead thrall bound to there master for all eternity in servitude. But the problem with Desmond's situation is that he couldn't resist regardless of what he did he had to agree regardless. Desmond in his fear of what Seraphine wanted was already starting to silently shit himself.
”I just wanted to practice magic why does this keep happening to me” Desmond though in his head.
Seraphine seeing Desmond's sweating bullets said ”You can relax what I want you to do is far off into the future. Your to weak to be of any assistance to my problems right now”.
Desmond sighed in relief than asked, ”how do you know I will even be of assistance to you in the future? Judging by my luck I'll be lucky to still be alive next year”.
Seraphine answered Desmond's question with a question. ”Do you know what a relic is?”.
”Umm something old, but I'm guessing you mean something totally different”. Desmond replied.
”You got the old part correct, but relics for people like us also refers to something very old and powerful. I'm not surprised you don't know mages and cultivators aren't keen on sharing information especially on something like this to mear mortals. You see in this world there are magic items made without a characteristic that are obtained from people, creatures, and special circumstances.
Those magic items vary in quality and are heavily dependent on a person's skill in their craft. Some magic items have side effects most don't it depends on what it is and who made it. Mystic items are those made with a characteristic there are each unique and almost all of them have side effects because of the rejection a person faces when using it. Only the person or thing that you killed to acquire the characteristic will face no rejection.
While relics are like both of the other two, but their origins are obscure, some possess restrictions limiting who can use them, many of them break all boundaries of what should be possible, some are capable of destroying worlds, others have godly origins. In short, a relic is super dangerous, powerful, and I have one.
