A Strange Contract:

The sinister voice: Hm? Interesting. I like the way you talk. But the problem is, i can't stay in this world without a vessel. So i need a body to be my vessel and i shall strip out the soul from it. Do you understand now, why i need your body?

Well, i think there should be a way other than this. I need time and i got to find a way out. I can't agree to anything the demon asks. It certainly means death. So, the only option is to talk and find a way out. Ahsan was thinking his best. He was also thinking of praying. Will the demon go away? Should i give it a try?

Ahsan: Can't you use anything else as vessel? other than my body? I heard demons can even possess things. So why do you need exactly my body?

The sinister voice: How clever! Your are certainly brave and clever. Even in this situation you are trying to find a way out? Listen boy. I'll take what i want and you can't stop me. But if you can give me an alternate way like an excellent vessel full of Chi and somebody who will go to my realm instead of me then i wouldn't mind. The answer of your question is yes. We can use objects as vessel but there is a problem. If i use your body as vessel, then its permanent and it will be easy for me to go anywhere. On the other hand if i use any object then the effect will be temporary. Moreover my area of movement will be limited. Do you have a solution, clever boy?

Ahsan was cursing himself. Damn ... why the words of her seems so logical? But it has already given a clue on what it actually wants. A good vessel and somebody to replace it in its plane. Suddenly a peculiar idea formed in his mind. It may work or may not.. but i must give it a try to live.

Ahsan said enthusiastically: I may have a solution. You need energies or chi/qi to use an object as vessel, right? what if i give you a perfect object that is used by a chi practitioner for many years. It is full of energies and if i place it on a high and very old tree then it will be easy for you to move around. If you try to take my body obviously that will not be so easy. I'm even willing to take your place in your plane. So you don't have to go back there. Moreover you don't have to agree instantly, first check the object i'm offering, then you can decide.

The sinister voice: Not bad..I'm interested so don't make me disappointed boy. Bring your object and remember you said you will take my place in my plane. Now hurry and bring that damn object. If the object is not suitable then you will have to use your own body as my vessel.

Those words were the last bit of hope for Ahsan. Luckily he had a perfect object for this. His great grandfather was a veteran chi practitioner and he had a bracelet which is now used as their family treasure. The bracelet is still used when his grandfather meditates. It will be a disaster if this bracelet is lost but now is not the time to think about a bracelet. Ahsan took out the bracelet and asked will it do?

The Demon: Hm!! What a surprise!! The bracelet of lunar goddess!! So the information was true. But it can't say that to the boy.

Where did you find it? The demon asked. It couldn't even hide its excitement.

Its our family treasure and my grandpa meditates with it, Ahsan replied.

The sinister voice: Ha...Ha... ha... how funny! that old fart is using This Bracelet as a tool of meditation? Anyway.. you got the deal. Just give this bracelet to me and i'll be gone. Don't forget to take my place in my plane. I'm changing the contract for you.

Wait a min. You have to also swear that you will never harm anybody of my family. You also have to let me know some basics of your world otherwise what will happen when i reach there and die instantly by another demon?

You sure talk sweet. The contract is ready , just put a drop of blood on this paper. Said the demon.

Ahsan put a drop of blood on the paper. Suddenly he felt like he can see another plane in front of his eyes and he can switch between that plan and earth with his wish. He was startled with this new discovery.

Ok the contract is done, boy. Now listen. I'm not telling you my real name but you can call me kierra. I'm a bone demon. Take this ring. It will give you the authority over my plane. I can't give you any time for preparation. So just enter that plane and you will understand the rest.

What are you saying? Those demons will kill me instantly. I cant enter without any protection. Though, he couldn't see any demon in that plane but there should be some dangerous demons out there, isn't it?

Kierra: Stop pretending and go. There is no demon inside. Just enter and you will realize what i'm saying. Remember, Once you enter, there is no turning back.

Ahsan had no other way but to enter the plane. But kierra's last words had some strange hint. It sounded unusual but he had no other way but to follow her words.
