He come back with two kittens the two little fluff balls were looking everywhere inside they were exact copy of each other but one was snow white when the other was void black.

The two were very generic kittens with a short fur and face that try to suck your soul with it cuteness. Gold was still a bit unsure what was happening seeing his confused face the old man start to explain :

“Oh it’s a surprise! Welcome to my shop I sell soul partner. I evaluate my customer before finding a fitting match if I judge them worthy.”

Grandpa join the conversation :

“It’s the same shop that gave me my own partner more than a hundred years ago he come here every year for a couple thousands years now the patriarch got his soul partner here too.”

The old man smile at the comment before he turn back toward Gold before he continue his explanation :

“A soul partner is something you need luck to get. The only way to get one is to find someone with a path like me and to make the contract before you awaken. But that not all if I don’t have a fitting soul partner for you that mean your out of luck. But be happy young man your not in the few that go out empty handed from my shop.”

When the old man was talking the kittens were started to grew bored the black one climb on the old man head before he start to sleep when the other one jump out the old man arms and start to wander inside the shop. The old man ignoring them continue :

“These two kittens are millennium cat it’s a species that act like a normal cat for the first thousand year of life but that first thousand of life will shape the power they earn when they thousand year is reach so take good care of them. You know how to make soul pack I presume.”

Gold nod the old man smile before he take back the little kitten wandering inside the shop before he make sign to follow him to the back of the shop.

They enter inside the small tent at the back of the shop at the moment he enter he see the soul altar in the middle of it. Knowing what he needed to do he take his ritual dagger before opening the tip of one his fingers and let a drop of blood fall one of the pillar place on each side of the altar.

The old man place the two kittens in the middle of the altar before he do the same on the pillar on the opposing side.

The altar start to glow blue and after a few seconds golden letters start to appear on the empty stone tablet in the middle of the altar.

If you discover this tale on Amazon, be aware that it has been unlawfully taken from Royal Road. Please report it.

Slowly the terms of the contract appear on the tablet and after a few minutes it no more word appear on the tablet.

Gold slowly read everything written on the altar the terms were not really hard to understand they can’t harm each other and they need to contribute to the progression of the path of the other. After taking a few seconds to read everything correctly he imprint his mark at the end of the contract.

Once he finish he look at the kittens in front of him the heaven law give equal intelligence to both contractors during the process. The two were looking with attention the contract terms and after a few minutes they both imprint their paw mark on the contract.

The altar suddenly stop glowing the stone tablet returning to a blank slate and three golden scrolls appear in front of it. The terms on the contract written on it and a few seconds after the scroll enter in each of them.

The old man was standing on the side :

“Good the contract is now made I hope you will take good care of them and before you let me go fetch something.”

After saying that he go back into the shop before coming back after a few minutes a book in his hand :

“Here it’s a book that will give you everything you need to know to take good care of them.”

Gold take the book he was surprise by size of it. It had probably more than a thousand pages in it he thanks the old man before he go back inside the shop where his grandpa was waiting.

After thanking the old man for his time the duo start to head back toward the centre of the plaza.

When they reach it Gold see that the centre of the plaza was now full of people waiting for the awakening everything was fine until he see a man walking toward them two almost identical girls walking behind him with a very evil smile on their angel faces.

Why of all peoples he could meet today he need encounter them. He pretty sure it’s was one their scheme to tease him to death. He sure they say to uncle to go meet grandpa since they are great friend that will make a great excuse for them to reach me.

Each time they see each other they use everything they to make me embarrassed this two are demons in angel disguise he don’t really understand how they have become like that they know each other since childhood and when they were younger they were like true angels.

Taking the opportunity during the time grandpa and uncle were talking they start to drag him into a calmer area in one bar surrounding the place. They sit in a private chamber at the moment he install himself on the sofa he see the two little kittens poking their heads outside of his bag.

He smile looking at the two of them before he take them in his arms he be honest he is pretty weak to cute things.

At the same time the twin were looking at the scene with a strange look on their faces...
