“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?”Unauthorized tale usage: if you spot this story on Amazon, report the violation.


    “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.
