60 Contrac (1/2)

”So, sir.” Lexa spoke questioningly, unsure of what exactly she should address Alexander as.

”Just call me Alexander, no need for formalities at this point.” Alexander waved the matter off and gave her a friendly smile.

”Ok then! Alexander, how does this contract between human and Magical Beast come about?” Lexa asked. She felt the soft strokes of Andria's little hands in her soft fur as she carries her.

”Its actually rather simple, for you two anyway. First, I'll be drawing a rune on the ground with magic, then I'll have you two stand on top of the rune, where you will say the same chant, which also has to be in sync. At this point, you have to be very careful, as slip up for a second during the chant can fail the contract process, which can damage your soul. It won't be a permanent damage, but the pain one feels when your soul is hurt isn't light at the least.” Alexander sternly explained.

”Wah, Andria doesn't want to be hurt!” Andria pouted.

”Haha, then you better study these well so that you don't forget.” Alexander smiled warmly as he suddenly whipped out two azure stones from a Magic Pocket bag hanging from his waist. These two stones were clearly Echo Stones.

Andria grabbed the stone, and without any need for instructions inserted her aura into it. In an instant, Andria's eyes seemed to dull and became unmoving as they looked on at the distance.

For the kitten, Alexander places her Echo Stone on the floor before her, allowing her to touch the stone with her paws at ease, which she did unhesitatingly.

Several seconds passed as the two processed the information portrayed by their respective Echo Stones until eventually, Andria rose from her stupor, followed by the kitten shortly after.

”So it works like that, huh...” Lexa nodded her head understandingly.

”Wow!” Andria exclaimed. ”So Andria will be giving my soul to Lexa?”

”*cough* a part of your soul.” Lexa felt the need to clarify.

”That's right.” Alexander went on to further explain. ”When performing the Equality Contract Ceremony, at the apex of the ceremony, a small piece of your soul's will be extracted from you and will be swapped with your partner. Usually, a piece of soul that has been separated from its main body will quickly dissipate and be excruciatingly painful, but under the power of the rune, that piece of soul will safely combine with your partners soul, completing the contract without any hassle.”

After this talk, the three, followed by a rather large group of Wilderwolf soldiers, continued walking through the streets of Skyview City. Being early morning, the streets were mostly empty as the work day hadn't started yet for most people.

Eventually, Alexander had lead Andria and Lexa to their destination which was a simple but nice open grass area that seemed to act as a nice breather in this city which is mainly constructed with rock.

As the Wilderwolf soldiers surrounded the perimeter of the open space, Alexander walked up to the center of the grassy field. With the casual wave of his hand, a large chunk of the grass before him was cut by the root. With another wave, a gentle breeze carries the remains of the cut grass and cleared the cut area, revealing a perfect circle of dirt that would probably take eight steps to cross its length.

”Now then, I'm not the most proficient in runes, so give me 5 minutes to set this up and we'll be good to go.” As Alexander said this, he held up his fingers, the tips of which began to light up in an azure glow.

”Got it, Daddy!” Andria saluted cutely while Lexa hummed in agreement.

Alexander nodded his head with a smile before leaning down to begin the construction of the rune.
