The scroll hovered between us.
It has dark brown rolled paper wrapped around a silver handle.
The scroll started unbound itself in the air.
All of it seemed so magical to me.
As it did, the atmosphere turned cold.
The floor beneath me froze.
A thin layer of ice formed under my feet.
And I understood one thing about this, it was not because of the scroll.
My Ice Elemental was reacting to it.
Is it because of the affinity of the scroll… was it Ice Essence?
The scroll unbound itself completely.
A contract that would kill one of us if broken.
Lilith's voice echoed, as she explained. "The contract requires four terms. Two from each side. If any party breaks them, their soul will be destroyed."
I gulped.
I narrowed my eyes. "State the terms."
Nathalia placed her finger on the plain brown paper.
The ink moved tracing Nathalia's fingers.
The first term appeared.
[First Condition – Nathalia's Side]
