"Hmm, and what if I refuse to ever give you a body?" Tom asks with an evil smirk gracing his lips.

"Then I'll simply live here in luxury until you die, pass down the ring, or until the end of time. It depends on what happens in the future." Morgana says with a shrug as she dismounts Tom and dives into the big comfortable bed, snuggling into her blanket. "This place is much more comfortable than that hell I was trapped in before."

Hearing her answer, Tom's evil smirk turned into an annoyed scowl. He wanted to threaten her with eviction, but the oath against that was already sworn.

'She must have strategically asked for that oath...' Tom thought as he tries to come up with a way to get her assistance.

"Oh, don't look at me like that." Morgana says as she notices Toms scowl. "You already have access to the Pendragon vault. There's no need to be so greedy. Don't you think that you already have enough?"

Blocking out Morgana's persuasive argument, Tom starts hatching evil idea after evil idea in his mind.

Seeing the look in Tom's eyes, Morgana could practically feel the scheming energy wafting off of her descendant.

"Hey, whatever you're thinking up, stop it right now! Nothing you do or say will make me give you access to all of my possessions." Morgana says seriously, for one of the few times Tom has ever seen her like that.

"What if I turn this ring into a hell similar to the one you just left?" Tom asks with an evil glint in his eyes.

Hearing what he said, a slightly worried expression appears on Morgana's face as she does her best to convince him otherwise.

"This ring was created by me, so I doubt you would have the same control that I do..." She says with a wave of her hand, turning the bedroom into a lush forest and then back to normal again.

"Hmm, let's try..." Tom waves his hand as well, but doesn't get the same outcome.

Instead of turning the whole area into a forest, only the wallpaper changed into a picture of a green forest.

"Huh? You were right, but that doesn't mean I can't practice and turn this place into hell within a month's time." Tom says with a shrug. "Don't make me waste my time and just be compliant, please."

"..." Morgana silently thought about it for a moment and came to decision. "I'll agree to tell you how to get in my vault on a few conditions..."

"Alright, what do you want?" Tom gets straight to the point.

"I want a few things. First, you must make an oath to get me into a body within the next few years." She says with a single finger raised.

"Deal, next." Tom agrees easily.

"Good. Secondly, you must agree to return a few things to me from my vault and all of my gold must not be touched. You already have enough from the Pendragon vault, I'm sure?" She says with a second finger raised.

"The gold is no problem. I already have more than I'll ever need after all. What things do you need to be returned?" Tom asks.

"A few of my more important artifacts and my spellbook." She reveals.

Thinking it over, Tom came to the conclusion that a few artifacts and a spellbook isn't really a big deal, especially since he plans to enslave her the same way he did Arthur.

Everything Tom would give back will just be returned to him anyway, or used by Morgana in her loyal service to him and his loved ones.

"Deal, but if anything is too dangerous, like a world-ending danger, or something that would affect those close to me, I refuse to give it to you under any circumstances." Tom throws in his own stipulation to keep her from getting suspicious of him. "Anything else?"

"Hehe, that's fine. Lastly, you have to agree not to make my time in this ring uncomfortable in any way. I've had to deal with enough pain and despair in that place, and I don't want to have that here." She says resolutely.

"Deal, do you want an oath?" Tom asks.

"What do you think?" Morgana raised an eyebrow.

After making an oath and getting the information he needed, Tom felt someone patting his shoulder and returned to the material world.

"Bye, handsome. Come visit me again soon!" Morgana waves at him seductively as he leaves.

The second Tom disappears, an angry scowl appears on her beautiful face.

'How dare that kid threaten me!' She thought as she calmed her smoldering anger. 'At least I got a good oath out of him...'

Opening his eyes, Tom greets Druella with a smile and moves towards the double doors.

"Did you figure it out?" Druella asks curiously.

"Yup, watch this..." Tom says as he starts knocking on the door in different spots and at different intervals.

Each knock contained a certain amount of magic in order to open the door like a sort of invisible keypad lock.

Upon Tom's final tap of the door, a clicking sound could be heard from the silver doorknob.

"Did it work?" Druella asked as Tom tests the knob, turning it with ease this time around.
