"I know the man."
He says curtly.
"I have answered. I get knowledge, you get power, the warriors escape the abyss."

Xapham would touch the symbols and even try seeing if they would react to his Qi. He would even go so far as to activate his halo and wings to see how they would affect the cave and its symbols! He would take notes on all that happened.

"Does he have a contract with you then?" She began to feel a bit like she was in someone's game once more. She had a low tolerance for such sneaky tricks. Her eyes narrowed unamused but she clutched the stone of binding or whatever. "Is it dangerous to make a bond with you contractor? Life threatening or comes with a foolish catch?"

"I do not contact and wish to not contact that man."
He would flap his cloak as he turned to walk to the crystal and touch it. Before turning back towards Avice and staring.
"The only catch to the contract is that it requires pain and conviction. Without those the summoning will fail and the warrior will turn on you."

So her original thought bit the dust with his words about Raikotsu. She was almost relieved.
"Hm... While I know not how I came across this I am 'ere. Conviction I 'ave, Pain I can take... All I want is to be sure I can return to me boy an' if ya are offerin' a way that gives me a better chance to do just that... well... Suppose it's not such a bad deal. Aye, I could say no thanks an' goodbye but Curiosity begets me... What do ya say we make a contract mate?"

He walks closer to Avice and stops a couple feet away.
"You wish for the power to return to your child, and thus a protector. What else?"

"Me life be no longer about me." She shook her head. "But until that Boy of mine leaves with 'im strength found then I would rather have such strength to make sure not will stop either of us. Once that is done My life had not much meanin' before and I can't imagine it will then... Be rough around me edges but I am a peaceful creature A nomad on the road, unless something comes up I don't see that bein' much changin'. " she would shrug.

"A wanderer with no master, a goal with no end. A hope for a future that doesn't need your strength... Yes. This is a good contract."
The man would extend his right hand open for a shake.
"Place the piece of binding in your hand and then shake mine."

and in her left hand would rest the piece he spoke of and she would accept his handshake without another word. For he spoke exactly as she felt and exactly as she hoped... he understood and she gave deep thought to her request imagining the strength she might need to go through the years and give Derik the chance of a good life. At least the best one she could possibly provide. there was no wavering on that fact. She had him and so she wasn't going to make history repeat itself.

The piece would cut her palm and a drop of blood would fall to the ground.
"Your power is theirs, their power is yours. The protector, the hope of the future, the wanderer. We summon thou, and thou summon thee."
Avice would feel the piece stuck to her palm pull her hand to the ground, palm open to meet the blood droplet on the ground. All the runes in the cave spun frantically ripping themselves from the wall to be sucked into the space under Avice's hand, before under her hand a wooden coffin would rise! The man was gone, and the runes had vanished.

"Oh? Now what is this I wonder..."
He would say as he began to walk around the coffin investigating it.

Once the... ritual... kind of thing was done she looked at the coffin and licked the blood from her palm.
"Xeph..." She called as she stepped closer to the coffin itself. She grimaced at the coffin honestly. "Gods I 'ope I didn't just perform some fucked up necromancy. It don't sit well with me to use such dark magic." Kind of late to go back now, however. She raised her knuckles to the coffin and gave it a solid knocking.

Upon touching the coffin she knew everything about the person inside, the warrior she had summoned with her contract tot he Contractor. The lid would fall off landing in a still standing position before finally falling forward and slamming into the ground. A man walked out standing there looking at nothing, saying nothing, doing nothing. Blank stare on his face. |

"Hmmm."
Was all Xapham had to say.

She had almost a film fast forward of a movie that she knew every second of what happens. It was almost dizzying and it was like the bloke was in her head. Yet seeing him standing there lifeless as he was it was surreal.
"Did you see anything that I saw Xeph?"
