A Bet with Slutty Evil Being!

"I went to the library in search of a book that discussed the flora and fauna that may be found in the circles. If I want to be able to wield my witch's power, I felt it was best for me to get a head start on studying about the plants and creatures that inhabit these worlds." Answered Lauryn.

She was wearing a dress that he had never seen before, but he assumed it was something that was indigenous to this planet.

He took note of the fact that she was still wearing her spectacles, but he also observed that the tints in her hair had shifted.

He had expected to see blue and pink highlights in her jet black hair, but instead she had dark green and purple highlights.

Her gothic aspect had always possessed a certain charm, and up until this point, it had not completely vanished.

"Do witches not work their magic with the natural world? Myths and such of that kind things are the extent of my knowledge in this area."

"Yes, can you tell me about witchcraft? As you can see, people do not make up a significant percentage of the circles, and as a result, magic that is exclusive to humans is quite uncommon. I'm interested to see your fighting style!"

"Ah well... I belong to a group of witches that is distinct from the standard variety. I enter into what I like to call 'pacts' with various creatures and animals. I invoke their might to lend a hand to me in battle or in my day to day activities. Although I am proficient in herbalism and incantation, I prefer to focus on pacts as my area of expertise."

"My mother was a very famous witch, and she educated me in the fundamentals of all forms of witchcraft before telling me, 'Go learn what you want; I don't need a brat like you following me...' my mother passed away when I was a little child. 'Oh, and watch out for that!' She told me that. Therefore, I decided to take an active role in the natural world. Even with the angel from before, I invoked one of my pacts to control him."

Oh yeah, you were talking about a wraith or something like that, wasn't it?

"That's a promise I made to myself. My pacts are not like regular ones with animals that live in the human world, although I do have a few of those. Instead, I have formed pacts with creatures that are mythical, mystical, and supernatural." Lauryn spoke and stopped in the middle, and then spoke up again.

"I swear, I'm not trying to brag, but very few witches have been able to forge pacts with those kinds of creatures. I'm one of those witches. The advice that Mother provided was very helpful. U did hear and see it right, Nyssa? You did hear me go through the entire recital to invoke the pact, didn't you? It goes in like this..." After that, Lauryn started to pronounce some incantations that were evidently meant to invoke one of her pacts.

"I recite the terms of the deal.

Wraith of the Abyss, heed my call, for I call you!

Arm of the Wraith"

After she said that, Lauryn's arm transformed into a pointed weapon, with her fingers serving as the pointer. It appeared as though the arm could cut through everything that stood in its way. Alex was under the impression that the angel's armour was not a display, but Lauryn's arm certainly was.

"Go away, wraith form," said Lauryn. After hearing that incantation, Lauryn's arm returned to its previous position.

"It's interesting, if your skill is as uncommon as you say it is, then having you on our team would be a huge benefit. What other kinds of pacts have you made with individuals?" She had the expression of a young girl who was attending a magic or illusionist's show for the first time. Nyssa was extremely interested in what was going on.

"I've agreed to terms with quite a few different creatures, if you must know. Let's see, a Manticore, a Shade, one of the Faceless ones, a Nemean Lion, a Gorgon, a Wendigo, a Fenrir wolf, that Wraith you saw, a Manticore, a Gorgon, a Wendigo, a Fenrir wolf, a Shade, one of the Faceless ones, an ice dragon..."

"As for a couple of other beings, the dragon and the Wendigo proved to be the most difficult to strike a deal with. I need to find out with what kinds of animals in these circles I can strike a deal in order to move further."

"You mentioned a Nemean Lion and a Fenrir Wolf," I blurted out.

"Hmmm? Yeah, but why?"

"When portals were opened up between the human world and our rings, our flora and wildlife would occasionally make their way through the portals. These creatures frequently appear in the folklore and legends of mankind. Like the Kraken... Don't ask me how it happened, but once, someone was able to pass through a portal in the Waters of Wrath, and it caused a lot of trouble throughout the world of humans!"

"It's possible that it was a young Kraken or even a baby at the time, and that it grew up in the human world. If you are able to form pacts with the many animals that inhabit the rings, you will be an extremely formidable opponent. I'm curious about the likelihood of being able to strike a deal with a Kraken."

"Oh, I've got a pact with a Kraken, I didn't mention that one," Lauryn said. "I didn't mention that one." The way that Lauryn put it made it sound like the most normal thing in the world.

"How in the name of all hell, could you possibly make a deal with such a gigantic creature?"

"It took me by surprise because I simply meant that to be a joke... Despite this, it appears that you do." Lauryn said it in a normal tone.

Both Alex and Nyssa expressed their shock, saying that they were taken aback by it.
