“That would explain it.”

“Explain what?”

“Why you naturally know about bonds and curses.”

“Was Asmodeus known for curses?”

“He was known for a lot of things but seals and curses were his specialty.”

“Seals?”

“Things to bind down existences that normally can’t be killed.”

“Examples please.”

“For example you can seal a ghost.”

“So you can't kill ghosts?”

“Sorry ghosts are a bad example. A better example are demons.”

“Just to clarify is there a difference between demons and devils?”

“Yes, devils have more freedom while demons must follow contracts."

“How do you talk about demons/devils in general?”

“You call demons and devils Daemons.”

“Anyways, can you come into the physical plane so I don’t have to walk to the forest?”

A golden ray of light landed in front of me and he appeared in his animal form. He was as stunning as ever. I don’t ever think that I will be able to make the noble aura that he admits. I mount upon him and he canters towards the forest. He suddenly starts picking up pace into a gallop and when he jumps I fall off onto the ground. He continues to gallop away.

“HEY!”

“What?”

“I fell off.”

I see him look back and suddenly starts galloping back. When he arrives back to me I mount upon him and said “You need to warn me when you jump.”

“And you need to learn how to ride a horse.”

“I do but you also need to be a better steed.”

“You consider me a steed?”

“No I don’t consider you a steed I consider you a friend.”

I could feel anger rising within him.

“Then why did you call me a steed.”

I didn’t know what to say because I had no reason to call him a steed. I sent him regret and guilt towards him. I hope that he would forgive me for what I said. He sent me a slur of emotions it was mainly confusion. Because my purpose off showing my intentions were showed I asked “Why are you confused?”

“I thought you don’t like exposing your feelings?”

“I don’t but if I need to send my intentions to you I will temporarily unlock it.”

“You permanently unlocked it.”

I tried to close the gates of my emotions but it wouldn’t shut. I tried everything I could think of, building a new gate, trying to stop the river flow but nothing happened. I started to panic. Before panic overwhelmed me I activated the amulet and started to think about what I could do to fix this and after a minute or two I couldn’t think of any solutions. I started to think about the advantages and disadvantages of this. After organizing my thoughts into an imaginary bullet list I determined that Sebastian and I probably bond faster, will have more trust and the disadvantage is me not having my privacy. Now that I think about it’s not that big of a disadvantage because I will have to give it up at some point. I try transmitting my thoughts through the river.
