White stood still as he listened to the question the monster-like entity had asked him.

'Or should I call it Krabat?' White thought as he mulled over the question.

'Thy raven gathers at the mill, which is probably the mill I was at in the last test, thy good man comes to hely thy raven. Does the raven trust thy man?' White thought over and over as he tried to piece the elements of the question together.

'The raven is described as a bird of misfortune, not because it causes it but because it predicts misfortune. Thus we can actually count the raven as good.' White thought as he walked back and forth.

Krabat didn't move a single inch as he waited, all three heads showed a strange smile and even his eyelids didn't move.

'The raven gathers at the mill and the goodman comes to help the raven. Why would the raven need help in the first place, thus they have no need for help in the first place. The goodman is in fact the bad guy' White thought as he came to a conclusion about the scenario.

'The mill itself doesn't harm you and neither does it do anything suspicious, it is the people that operate it that are bad not the thing itself. ' White nodded to himself and then finally turned to face the three-headed Krabat.

"The answer to your question is that the raven shouldn't trust the good man," White said, conviction lacing his tone as he stared straight into Krabats eyes.

An eerie laughter escaped the old head.

Slowly the slow laugh turned into a full blow one that seemed to cover the entire wooden cabin.

It took a few seconds but the head slowly calmed down.

"Good, good. Never trust the good man for he is the crimson one" The old head said in an unnaturally normal voice compared to his usual one.

*Fhshuuu*

And the head swiftly turned into black dust that disappeared into the air.

Krabat now only had two faces, the baby head and the teen one.

'Does this mean that every time I solve a question, One of the heads disappears?' White thought and then the words in the diary came back to mind.

'But that's a sure way to die, it says to not complete all three of the questions but then the first word of the diary is to never trust Krabat. Who could say that he didn't meddle with the diary in the first place.' White thought as he waited for the second question.

This time it was the baby head that talked.

Its eerie and squeaky voice echoed through the old cabin.

"Good meets evil, Curses meet Blessings, Who does one trust? Is Good real or is Evil manufactured? Does Raven make the deal or do they stop themselves" The baby head said and then closed its mouth as it awaited the answer.

White stood still as he pondered the question but no matter how hard he tried he simply couldn't make any sense of it.

'What does it mean by is good real or is evil manufactured, what deal are they talking about the first part simply says that good meets evil and curses meet blessings' White thought as he scratched the back of his head.

'Fuck'

Sitting down on the floor, White tried every way he could think of.

He tried every possible way he could think of to make the question make sense.

And then a thought hit White.

'Krabat lies' White thought and tried the only plausible conclusion he had arrived at.

Getting up on his feet, White told the monster.

"The answer is none, there is no deal to be made. The deal itself is a curse" White said as he looked at the monster.

'The books on the first test said that a curse had befallen the ravens, any deal couldn't possibly be a good one. The question talks about a Deal but I don't think there was a deal to be made at all. It sounded more like a forced contract rather than a deal' White thought as he awaited the monster's answer.

Another eerie laugh echoed through the cabin as the baby finally opened its mouth.

"Truly a perceptive one," The baby said and vanished into wisps of darkness.

Finally, there was only one head.

Krabat finally looked like a normal human, that was if you didn't take the heavy atmosphere around him into consideration.

'No human should have an aura as dark as his' White thought as he could almost see the aura around the man from its density.

"The final question is here." The teen version said as he looked at White.

There was no insane laughter, no change in expression.

Nothing at all.

White felt like he was looking directly into a dark abyss.

"Who won in the end? The Raven or The Good Man" Krabat asked as he took a step closer to White.

It was the first time he had moved since the start of the questions.

White immediately took a step back and looked at Krabat intently.

'Who won?' White thought as he tried to remember everything that had happened until now.

[ Intelligence has increased by one ]

A small smile developed on White's face as he looked at Krabat.

White didn't answer the question or open his mouth at all as he moved closer to Krabat, step by step.

When White was a step away from Krabat, he moved.

With a quick motion, White grabbed Krabats neck and pulled him into the air.

"Who Won?" Krabat once more voiced out even though barely as he was being choked.

His already black eyes started to lose their light slowly as he continued to ask the same question over and over.

Finally, Krabat closed his eyes fully.

"The Good Man did" White answered the question finally.

The room shook immediately after as if the entire world wanted to break itself.

Darkness started flowing from the holes that were appearing on the walls that were being broken.

"This entire place, this is goodman, isn't it? Goodman was never a person. It was a curse." White said out loud as he released his choke on Krabats neck.

Eerie laughter started to appear all around him.

Soon the laughter started turning into shouts of misery.

"I'm the only one with the system, The system didn't tell me to pass Krabat's test. It told me to kill him" White said as his body started turning into specks of light.

"Until next time bitch" White said as he gave a middle finger to the darkness.
