115 Unwilling Teacher, Unwanted Studen (2/2)
Before Zane came for him again Desmond said to Zane, ”you are wrong I am not weak. Magic is all I have and all I ever wanted I will not let the chance to become what I have always dreamed escape my grasp. If that means that I have to become a bigger asshole than you to achieve that dream then, so be it.
You may spit on me, call me what you want, even break my bones, But I will not have my resolve questioned or have what I love taken away from me. If agreeing to your shitty terms is what it taked to achieve that dream then fine.
I swear to keep your secrets, to defend your honor, to aid you when you are in need, and above all to be unwavering in my pursuit for immortality.
I shall overcome any obstacle and vanquish any foe this I swear and I will say it again if I must, but you must swear to me that you will teach me all that you know without lies whenever I ask. I wish to see the truth this world hold, so show it to me”.
”I swear for, so do I”. Once Zane said those words the sound of something breaking graced Desmond's ear. Looking down Desmond saw a complex magic circle beneath him. It shined a light green as it broke apart slowly as it vanished.
”What was that?” Desmond said weakly as he had a bad premonition the magic circle that he was in symbolized nothing good.
As Desmond was kneeling on the ground perplexed and worried Ragnar stepped in to clearify.
”That was a binding circle it is commonly used when a master and student share their vows with each other. Once it is complete the master and student are bound forever to follow the vows the took with each other. In short were obviously manipulated by Zane and now your fucked. But look on the bright side at least you got that magic knowledge you always wanted and all it took was your, soul and servitude. That's a good price the only problem is who you sold it to”.
To rub salt on Desmond's wounds further Zane reached out and grabbed Desmond by his shoulder and said to him, ”I told you, you were stupid. I can only hope this first lesson of mine enlightened you on how things work”.
Zane played with Desmond's emotions and backed him into a corner both physically and mentally to make Desmond do what he wanted. After thinking about Desmond wasn't sure if he should be angry, sad, or terrified after dancing in Zane's hand just how he wanted.
Desmond was aspiring to be an illusionist, but he had never done something like that. He didn't even know if he could. In light of what happened Desmond laughed looked, stood up, looked at Zane and said, ”You're an asshole”.
After what Desmond said Zane could have done any number of things. Mostly his favorite which was ripping Desmond in half, but instead he said, ”I know and now you must become an even bigger one then me”.
