Snippet #2228189

"I think we're lost..." Jaimie commented very bluntly, it seemed the two of them had been going in circles. The leprechaun didn't respond, and when Jaimie turned the corner Sean had disappeared. Confused Jaimie looked behind him and around the other corners but it seemed he was now completely alone. Without the leprechaun to follow Jaimie was at a loss, there wasn't anything to guide him and with the bit of Arabella's powers he had clung to before they were separated he couldn't really do much.

There was something strange about this situation though, Sean and him had been fine wandering for the past who knows how long but for him to suddenly disappear, that was weird. He walked forward his hand trailing the wall next to him when he felt something cool around his fingers like water, glancing down he saw the wall had turned to liquid beneath his fingers. He pushed his hand through and brought it up the wall which he had now determined was not solid. It felt strange but maybe this was where Sean had gone.

Holding his breath as if he was diving into a pool of water he stepped through. Like jello, the wall stretched spit him out on the other side and slapped back into place with a comical jiggle. Jaimie took a breath and opened his eyes to a dark cavern reminiscent of the one they had been in when they first found out about the deal. Out of the Shadows, as if on cue a demon stepped forth with a large scythe in hand. Jaimie took a step back and was prepared to jump back through the wall, the demon approached and Jaimie felt the wall again, it was rock solid. Jaimie swore under his breath.

"Nice try,but I brought you here and only I can let you leave." The Demon spoke with a chuckle as if this was entertainment, Jaimie relaxed a little, entertained controlling demon he could handle, as long as he wasn't blood thirsty.

"What do you want?" Jaimie demanded less forcefully than usual, to be honest he was sick of it and wasn't planning on making another deal with a demon.

"Well everyone wants your soul but that's already promised to someone just a bit higher up than me." He smirked with jealousy. "I want nothing more than to give you truth, Felizimito, you know that's what you are now right?" Jaimie's eyes jumped from the ground and locked with the demon's, He did not expect the conversation to take this turn, Jaimie had determined he was different but no one had ever put a name to the abilities he had developed because no one had seen it before.

The demon saw the shock and took it as a no. This would be easier than he thought.

"So now you know I can tell you more about yourself and these new powers you've been developing but I can't just do that for free." The demon pulled out an onyx necklace from his coat, a tiny scythe charm danced from the end of it, a tiny soul stone glowed where the blade met the handle. "This object holds the secrets of felizimitos in it, and all I ask for in return is that you return the charm to me when you're done with it." He smiled and held out the necklace to seal the deal.

"When will I be done with it?" Jaimie asked wondering what he could possibly mean, he didn't even know how this object would give him the knowledge.

"You'll know" The Demon said simply with another smile, "Take it or leave it the door is open for you to go." Jaimie looked behind him and the wall was swirling with liquid, the demon was honestly giving him the choice. Unsure he wished desperately for Arabella to be there with all of his might to no avail, no magic would bring her to him at this moment. This decision was his to make, trust the demon and learn who he had become and how to control his abilities or walk away from the golden opportunity. There were no downsides.

Jaimie reached his hand out and picked up the necklace.
