"I'll tell you what I know on one condition." Morgana says as her flirtatious behavior stops and in turn, is replaced with a far more serious expression.

"Finally, you stopped with your games." Tom grumbles out and sighs in relief. "What is it that you want?"

Hearing Toms words, a satisfied smirk forms on Morgana's face.

"I want you to promise not to remove me from this ring and find me a body to take over. The body must fit my tastes though. I refuse to be fat, ugly, or a different gender." Morgana says with a haughty attitude.

"Hmm..." Tom hums and places his hand on his chin in contemplation. "I'm willing to promise to not remove you from my ring, but I make no promises when it comes to the body."

"Then I'm not telling you anything." Morgana states as she looks away from him.

"Don't be too greedy, Morgana. You're giving me information on a statue while I'm promising not to send you back to the afterlife. I'm already being very generous by accepting a portion of your demands. Do you think I can't just call death and have you dragged back to whatever hell-hole you were before?" Tom says as a cruel smile graces his lips. "You know what? Why don't I call her now? Dea..."

As Tom was about to finish calling Lady Death, Morgana jumps from her seat and covers Tom's mouth with both of her hands.

"Fine, I accept! Just please don't send me back there." Morgana says with a truly frightened look on her face.

"Were you calling me, Master?" A new voice rings through the room.

Morgana, who was already scared out of her mind, mechanically turns her head to see Lady Death standing behind her.

Swatting Morgana's hand away, Tom looks at Lady Death with a small smile.

"Yes, but I don't need you anymore. Thanks for coming anyway. I'll come to visit soon so we can train together again." Tom says, not really wanting to get his butt kicked again, but no one else can give him a challenge anymore.

The only way to grow is to keep pushing his training further. Sadly, no one else can provide that but Lady Death.

'Maybe Manasa would make a good sparring partner as well, but I can only visit her through sleep or meditation, and it's not my real body as well.' Tom thought as Morgana cowered at his side.

Speaking of Manasa, Tom hasn't visited her in a while, nor has she called for him.

'I should try to make time to check on her.' Tom thought

Morgana is very similar to the original Tom Riddle. She has an extreme fear of dying, and after experiencing her afterlife, that fear only grew stronger.

When she heard that Tom wasn't going to ask Death to send her back, Morgana relaxed only a bit and let out a relieved sigh.

"Sure. I can't wait to continue our torture... *cough* ...I mean sparring." Lady Death said with a small smile on her face as she disappears completely.

'She finally admits it...' Tom didn't know what to say as he dreaded his future torture.

"Thank you..." Morgana says in relief as she drops down on the sofa like a rag doll.

"Thanks for what?" Tom asks.

"For not sending me back." She elaborates.

"You agreed to the deal and I try my best to keep my word. Now, what do you know about the statue?" Tom asks, not wanting to waste any more time.

"Although I'm grateful you didn't send me back to that hell, do you think I'm some first-year student? Swear it on your magic." Morgana says as she collects her disheveled self and sits across from him once again.

"Sure." Tom agrees far more easily than she thought he would. "I, Tom Riddle swear an oath on my magic that I will not remove, nor order anyone else to remove Morgana Le Fay from my Le Fay ring unless of course she allows it or she betrays me in any way, shape, or form."

Hearing Tom making the oath so easily, Morgana smiled happily, but as she heard the little bit added near the end, a small grimace graced her lips.

"Did you have to add that as well?" Morgana asked in a tone full of dissatisfaction.

"Yes, do you think I would trust you completely?" Tom replies with a raised eyebrow. "The second you do anything that I deem as a betrayal, I'm sending your ass back to eternal damnation."

"Fine..." Morgana grits her teeth, internally swearing to never act against Tom. At least not until she isn't in a situation where Tom could easily send her back to that horrible place.

Just thinking of it sends a shiver down Morgana's spine.

"Good, now tell me everything you know about the statue."

After finishing his false memories and getting some very valuable information from Morgana, Toms consciousness returns to the material world.

Seeing Tom open his eyes, Druella smiled happily.

"Did you finish setting everything up?" She asks as he opens his eyes and stood from his meditative position

"Yup, but we need to change to some more extreme measures..."

"What are you talking about?" Druella looks at her fiancé in confusion.

"It's like this..."
