The Advent Of The End

Chapter 17: Contracts

Ayako patted him in the head, which he accepted for now to get the information he wants.

"That, little Ez, is called a contract" She crossed her legs to become comfortable. "It is usually used by merchants or nobles for when they bargain for something. Just by uttering its name, will it show itself" She continued to pat him and enjoyed his soft red hair. "Once both parties agreed, no one can call it off, even the most strongest of Chronos users cannot break off what they made in the contract, or else" She crossed her neck on a horizontal line using her index finger "One forfeits his or her life, immediately". She looked again at Evan looking interested at him. "Now" She offered her hand in the table, wanting for a handshake using her right arm. "Let's fix the conditions of the contract".

"Agreed" Evan replied.

"First" The ink pen started to write the number *1* "I will have Ezekiel for thirty days after I helped you in your adversaries, saying how he loves me so much" Ayako said.

"Second" Evan said "You will be in our services until the Scorpix horde is gone and defeated, contributing as an ally, nothing more" The ink finished writing what Evan said, while the three who were watching was either amazed or anxious about the outcome of the contract.

"Lastly" They both said at the same time "You won't ever be permitted to betray" The ink pen finished writing the last condition, writing in a gothic alphabet.

*A CONTRACT THAT MUST BE FOLLOWED, OR THE PERSON WHO DISOBEYS, THE LIFE FORFEITS*

1. Thirty days of ownership of Ayako Reige towards Ezekiel Reige once the problem is done,
2. Ezekiel Reige must always say "I love you" when the 3rd condition is fulfilled for thirty days
3. Her services will be free of charge until the Scorpix problem is finished
4. No one betrayes the other

*A HANDSHAKE OR A THUMBPRINT OF BLOOD MUST BE USED FOR THE CONTRACT TO BE APPROVED*

At the lowest part is a square box that a person can fill in incase of the blood thumbprint contract.

"I agree to the conditions" Evan answered, accepting the handshake of Ayako, sealing the contract as done. The paper closed by itself, making two identical copies for each one of the contractor.

"It was supposed to have a copy in a person's Chronos whenever a contracts done" Ayako said, looking at the paper copy of the contract "But, I guess you don't have a Chronos" She intertwined both hands in the table "Still I sense great power within you" She analyzed him from top to bottom. "Strange yet interesting" She stood up and headed towards the door, making her way to the exit. "I'll be watching you, Evan" She closed the door as she left.

"Wow, is that nerve-racking to see" Pierre said, wiping off the sweat he has on his forehead for a long moment. Unable to move by the pressure of creating a contract.

"Yeah, kinda reminds me of how I made my first contract back in the day" Castriel added, thankful that nothing is blocking her view anymore.

"Yeah" Ezekiel replied, putting both hands at Evan "BUT WHAT THE F*** IS THE FIRST TWO CONDITIONS HUH!?"

"Well" Evan answered, calm but also holding off his laughter by smiling a bit. "Your sister won't help if there's no you in it" He held Ezekiel's right shoulder. "So" He made a thumbs up using the remaining hand "Do one for the team"

"HOW DARE YOU GET ME INVOLVE IN SOMETHING SUSPICIOUS!" Ezekiel replied, pulling Evan back and forth while shouting at him in anger "YOU WON'T HAVE ANY CHEESE COMING FROM ME STARTING TODAY!"

The once calm Evan started to cry in sadness. He hiccuped while talking "No. Cheese." He said, crying while Ezekiel rocking him back and forth by the shoulders.
