Thread: A purity long lost... [Himeko x ForeverMischievous]

Maeliko hadn't said another word to the woman, not like she could understand or anything. Her mother was the one who taught her all she needed to know about shadow magic, even some of the others in her family that used it helped her. She knew the risks involved, but also knew how to make bargains with the fiends. She bit her lower lip as she finished her meal, the bird had already finished its meal before her and she was contemplating on what she should do for the time being. She looked over to one of the chests that she had brought with her and sighed to herself. Looks like I might as well try it again... I don't think they will be back for awhile, if they do come back... She said as she got up and walked over to the chest, taking a key out she unlocked it and began grabbing some vials of liquid and herbs out of there. There was a passage way in the back of the cave, that was where the escape route was as well as her alter room. Yusa knew she had to have an alter room and let her have that to use. Maeliko knew the dangers in dealing with black magic, but she was taught how to deal and harness it. She was still inexperienced, but she knew what to do and what not to do. She had to find a way to expand her beloveds life.. She got her summoning circle made and placed some candles around her, letting them float in the air. There was a small cauldron in the center right in front of her. She was going to contact one of the demons she's been working for and doing deals for for over a year. The demon she made the pact with has been lenient with her. The only thing they asked in return was to be released and freed. Which she was working on releasing her into the world. She knew how demons were though, knew they could lie or trick. But this one... This one wanted only one thing Freedom. And would do anything for it, even give the one who's bound to her what she wanted. Maeliko started emptying the vials carefully into the cauldron and adding the herbs as well. Once she finished she closed her eyes and began chanting the summoning spell, she had to do something before they returned. The circle lit up as she chanted and a portal opened up as a horned woman stepped through it. Mmm... Little Maeliko it has been awhile since you last summoned me... What do you desire now my dear? The demon asked as Maeliko finished the summoning ritual. Maeliko lowered her ears in submission as she bowed before the demon. Kirasis I have summoned you to ask for advice and a favor... She began as the demon lowered her gaze down to her. I am listening... For now... She said as Maeliko kept her head low, knowing the demon was busy and had other things to tend to. I need to know if there is a way to get my beloved to have the same lifespan as myself... You know of Yusari Stormhoof and you know she doesn't live as long as I do... I've been working on finding you a way to be free for good to walk this realm. I swear it to you. You can see it in my mind that I have. And I've been getting closer to achieving that for you. I will hold my end of the bargain, you know this. I've done all you've asked of me up to this point. I stole the book you asked for from the High Warlocks in Silvermoon and even the one from Undercity. I cannot get into Stormwind to get the third book without getting killed on sight. But I will still try, I will do whatever it takes to make sure you are free and that I can get the only thing I desire. She said as the demon listened, she was rather pissed but yet thankful that her servant had at least gotten two of the books. There was only three left but she had time to wait. You have done well my pet, however I cannot grant her the lifespan as yours just yet. However, I do know you cannot read those books that I need, only demons and warlocks who understand demonic can understand it. So, as a reward I will grant you the ability to speak, read, and understand demonic. However, you MUST read those books and take everything you learn from them into your own being. I will warn you though, if you do not clear your mind before reading them, you might lose yourself. I cannot afford that to happen, I desire to be free and you desire for your beloved to have the same lifespan as you. You're serving me well elf, but if you fail me you will suffer dearly. If you fail the rituals in the books, you will be turned into a demon. I've seen it happen too many times, so you must be careful. Failure is not an option and I will not tolerate it. Do you understand me, Maeliko Misachi? The demon spoke and Maeliko nodded. I do. And I thank you. I accept your gift and I vow that I will not fail you. I will do whatever it takes so that we both get what we want. She said as the demon smirked and nodded. So be it. Take my gift and complete your mission. Do not contact me again unless you have found and retrieved at least two more books. Do you understand me? The demon said as she walked over to the elf and grabbed her wrist. Pain shot through Maeliko's body as a seal was burned into her wrist, the seal of the demon who she was bound to. This seal will grant you the ability to understand demonic, speak it, and read it. You are fully bound to me now elf. Fail me and I will know. I see what you see, hear what you hear, feel what you feel. You are too valuable to me to lose now. When you get two more books I will grant you another gift, and with it another seal. The demon finished as she pulled away from Maeliko who was still in pain but knew it was needed. I will not fail you... I promise... She said as she watched the demon walk through the portal. Oh I know you won't, you have no choice now elf. The demon said as she disappeared into the portal before it closed. Maeliko looked at her wrist as the pain was slowly subsiding, it was the symbol of the demon who she was bound to. Yusa isn't going to be pleased with this... But she will understand. I need to get those books no matter what. She said as she got up and began cleaning the alter room up. She placed the empty vials in a chest in the corner as she left the room and closed the door behind her. Surely they should be almost done.. She didn't like being all alone like this. As Yusa rode on the back of the giant cat she noticed they were close to their destination. She knows what she's doing though, she has been taught how to harness and deal with the demons, but being very careful as to what demons she should summon. There is this one demon who's been working with her for over a year now and nothing bad has happened. So she must be doing something right. She replied as she looked around. I do worry about her, but she won't ever die of old age like I will... I don't want her to be all alone again, I will do whatever I must to have her lifespan to make sure that she isn't alone ever again. Yusa finished as Exodar was within clear sight now. Sighing to herself as they neared Exodar she knew this was going to be risky but hoped the Night Elf would keep her word. Once they got there her parents ran to them and thanked the Night Elf, paying her handsomely as she was handed over. When that was over and they turned their backs on the Night Elf she saw her nod to her and she had to follow her family inside, but she'd sneak out again as soon as she could. About half an hour later she managed to sneak out. She had managed to grab a few things, her magical pouch that could hold everything and anything. She had more spices and more food in the pouch as well as a few other things she'd need. When she was outside she made sure no one saw her as she kept her face covered with the cowl she had on. She couldn't risk anyone seeing her as she went to a hidden spot where she could wait for the Night Elf to return to get her and take her back to her beloved.
