Randall Wesson died, but rather than ascending to the afterlife his soul had been claimed by another. Theraius, the God of Bonds, Oaths, and Contracts has laid claim to the young man's soul. And why exactly does the God of Contracts want to claim him as an Ascended, an agent infused with the power of a God? Randall may soon find out exactly how serious giving one's word can turn out to be. Nanowrimo project.
