No monologue for today

"I think I've already proven that I'm not interested in treasures," Lex said. "Otherwise I would have followed you back in the Temple. By now, you've had more than enough time to sell, use, or dispose of the treasure if you managed to find it in time. That was a time bubble, which contained the most valuable treasures in the whole universe. If they did not attract me, why would anything else? But, if it makes you feel any better, I can swear an oath."

"You make a good point about the temple. I'll tell you what. We'll make an agreement. If you can truly help me fulfill my objective, and be forewarned they are not without danger, then I'll help you get to the middle as quickly as I can."

Giselle was slightly suspicious. The oath she had Lex take last time was a very strong one, and he should have felt the binds of it within his soul. That was not the kind of thing anyone would mess with, yet here he was, ready to take another oath to speed things along.
