Contractually Yours, Alpha by Giftemmy

hapter Two Hundred and Ten

The thought of living for centuries was as dreadful as it was… appealing. What would it feel like to live as long as the elders?

But the dreadful part was the loneliness that comes with eternal life; when you become too afraid to make bonds, because in the end they would all die. My gaze met Thane. He doesn’t exactly age fast, and so I still have a lot of time to worry about that.

I nodded to the sorceress. “Fine, I would go alone with your code or whatever it is.”

“Good. Now let’s get to work.” She placed her bag on the table, taking out an empty glass container and then a smaller bottle, the bottle was the size of my pinky; it contained a thick black substance, and next, she brought forth a knife so sharp I was sure if I moved closer I could see my own reflection on it, and finally she brought out an ancient book.

“Is that… the book of spells?” Axel asked.

“Yes, it is,” she answered with a small smile that states she didn’t expect Axel to know anything about that.

She poured some of the black substance from the tiny bottle into her hands, and then she approached me. “This would help with the pain,” she said.

“Is that like some kind of pain reliever?”

“That, but much more effective.”

She applied the liquid to my stomach. As if sensing what was about to happen, the creature in me grew restless, pushing at the walls of my stomach. I groaned in pain. Thane was beside me almost immediately.

“What is happening to her?” he questioned, I could hear the urgency in his voice.

“Soon, she would feel nothing,” the sorceress said before picking up the ancient book of ‘ spells‘ and muttering some more foreign words from the book, and just as she had said, the pain disappeared.

“I don’t feel it anymore.”
