and that opportunity, is right in front of me. 

" what do you mean by a, conjurer "

( it's exactly as I said, become my conjurer. do so and, I will grant you an opportunity, to break through your, human limitations) 

when the creature offered him this deal, suddenly a memory came to his mind, it was about a story he read somewhere when he was a kid. according to the story, a devil from hell, offered a person to become his conjurer, he used that person's weakness and successfully made him into his conjurer. the devil used the human to wreak havoc in the town, but at the end was defeated by the hero.

 

" so, a conjurer means to become your toy "

he said in a distrusted voice. 

" I know that you are a demon, just like those in a story, don't even think about using me "

the demon however smiled and looked as if he saw through everything. 

( I am not like those, in your little fairy tales. I am the greatest, and I am not going to use you, I want a mutual alliance) 

" and what if I decline "

( I suggest not to do that, if you want to save those who are precious to you) 

hearing this he became a bit sensitive, but seeing that the demon have not brought harm to him or his family, and even offered him a deal like this, got his intrest. 

" if you wanted to, you could've killed me a long ago, but did not do it. I will at least listen to you, I guess "

( now we're getting somewhere) 

the demon then started to being his story, about what had happened. and what's going to happen. 

( since long ago, hell was always uncontrollable. demons fought all day long, killed each other, and souls of human's were being burned. that was how the hell was, until one day, when the seven kings of hell who were always on each other's throat, suddenly decided to descend on human world) 

" seven kings of hell, means- "

( yes, the ones you have probably heard of in your stories) 

" so why did they come to our world "

( I don't know) 

he was having a hard time processing this information, but then suddenly he remembered when he was placed at the alter in the hell. he remembered that he saw exactly seven statues. and now he could connect the dots, and started to believe in the demon a little bit. 

" very well. then my next question. who are you "

In the mirror, he could now see his own reflection a bit more clearly, but even he could tell that the person in the mirror is not him, but a demon imitating him. and during this the demon introduced himself. the thing that was troubling him for so long, was now finally about to reveal himself. 

( My name is ' AGASTHA '. I am the 8th sin. The sin of ' goodness ', also known as the sin of ' unknown ') 

" the 8th sin, what nonsense is this, I have heard of you before. I only know about the seven sins of mortals "

( now now, calm down. I know you have never heard of me before, it is because traces of my existence have been removed by the others, also because the others fear me they even sealed me so that I could not descend in human world) 

" seeing how you are in front of me, I guess their seal didn't work "

( well of course, stopping the all mighty is impossible for anyone) 

" so say, if I do become your conjurer what will happen to me, and what will be the price I pay for it "

( well, nothing much will happen to you, you will just break through your human limits,) 

" you mean I will become super strong or something "

( basically, yea) 

strength is something everyone try to gain. whether it be to protect someone, or to rule over someone. one needs as much strength as possible, and he is giving me this strength just like that. these were the doubts he was having. 

" so what is the price I pay, are you gonna take my soul or something "

( honestly, I never had a conjurer before, I never found someone who would be interesting enough, everytime I did approach someone, they always died in the process. you are the only one who has made it this far. so I don't know what will happen to you, but there is a price you must pay, just like other's conjurer do) 

" and what's their price "

( some become uncontrollably angry, some had their soul sold off to, some even sacrificed others life for it. but you don't have to worry, I won't take your soul, in fact I won't take anything away from you, but there will come a time when you have to pay a price for the power you get in exchange ) 

all of this confused karma a lot, he needed some time to think about all this. whether this whole thing involved him or not, how will it effect his family or so on. 

" give me some time to think, I will tell you then "

( as you wish, when you have made your mind just call me, and I will be there. but remember we don't have much time, make sure you don't keep me waiting)
