"Let's get down to business,shall we"
Loki raised his right hand and a bunch of papers appeared."uh,what are those? asked Yurian confused,"you asked for a contract didn't you?" replied Loki
Loki straightened his back implying that he's dead serious about the contract."A contract is no simple is no simple matter kid plus this is for your own safety", Yurian concerned asked "what the hell do you mean for my own safety?"
Loki confused and relieved looked at Yurian intensely he thought "does this kid not know what god's ego he's dealing with?",upon realizing the uncomfortability Yurian felt for being intensively stared he replied to yurian's question with the most fake genuineness face he could muster "nothing".
Yurian felt even more concerned scared even,ne couldn't understand this thing thinking mechanism,to put it simply he couldn't understand how this god's ego was thinking.
Loki while laying the contract papers on the table said "now all you need to do is sign these papers,oh before I forget you can ask three questions and in return I'll ask two"
Yurian hesitated and out of pure curiousity asked "you're hiding something from me aren't you?"
"Tch,how did you know?"
"I didn't but thanks for reassuring my suspicions,now don't hide any detail from me"
"You're too smart for your own good but thanks because i'm going to enjoy our time together, anyways about the three questions you can ask me three questions no limits attached"
"I don't understand"

"I take it back maybe you're not that smart after all"
"Yeah sure,now get on with it"
"Ugh fine let me put it in simpler terms,you have three important questions to ask me and you can ask me anything for example are there people stronger than that prick who calls himself a sovereign"
Yurian was surprised"I didn't know even weapons knew of king Zakir?"
Loki looked at Yurian with a dark expression and said "of course I know him because I hate him"
"Huh,why?"
"That's a question for another time"
What if I use one of the three questions?"
I know that even you are not that stupid enough on something as trivial as my past plus as we continue our journey you'll find out everything one day so why bother"
At that moment Yurian started fading away little by little Loki taking notice of this said "oh looks like your time's up",he smiled again and spoke one last time "you're under a curse you might want to hurry and climb to the 76th floor, there's someone there who can help you"

"Oh, you're awake" said Takeshi sitting next to a fire he made, yurian scanned his sorroundings to find sorrounded by trees
"Uh, Takeshi! Where are we?"
"In the middle of a forest"
"Yeah I can see that but I'm talking about our location"
"Somewhere near you're now craterized home"
Yurian gave up asking questions he already went through a lot with the spear he can't deal with another idiot.
Oh right the spear!,yurian started looking for the spear but couldn't find it Takeshi taking noticece of it told him "your left hand", yurian immediately looked at his left hand to find a golden crest tattoo of two spear's forming an "x" and in the middle of the two spear was a wolf symbol,he tried to summon the weapon and it appeared from the crest and to his palm,the contract was completed.He decided to sleep and continue their journey the next morning
It's morning and the duo just arrived at the starting point of the story and as Takeshi predicted it's just a crater now with nothing but burned rubbles,the moment they reached their destination yurian dashed and ran to the once used to be a house and started pushing and turning all the rubbles only to find burned pieces of what used to be a house,Takeshi strolled farther into a little forest behind it(where yurian broke his bones) it led him to a cliff and right Infront of him his expression grew darker as he saw it.
Yurian after digging up through everything noticed Takeshi disappearence and decided to follow him through the little forest and to the cliff,he saw him standing there staring at something on the ground with a very dark expression he ran towards him and there he saw what he was staring at so intensively,it was a corpse,a headless corpse to be accurate,he knew who that corpse belonged to,he just couldn't himself to say and yes it's his brother's corpse
Yurian walked towards it in disbelief,he could feel his tears streaming down from his eyes,ke knew but yet couldn't bring himself to believe it himself,his hands were shaking when he carried his brother,he hugged the cold lifeless body knowing he will never see his brother again the only thing left of his brother was their memory together,he buried his brother with the help of Takeshi.
Later that evening he and Takeshi had to decide how to move forward and climb the tower,how to obtain power rivaling the four sovereigns and most important of all REVENGE(and of course I didn't forget about Takeshi's memories)
