Xasha stood staring at Kan with his mouth agape for a long time. His mouth bobbed up and down as if to speak, but the words refused to come out.
"Stop gaping like a fool!" Kan berated. "Let's hurry and do this before I change my mind."
"How, but why, but... I'm sorry. I was just... what do I have to do?" Xasha finally regained his calm after several failed attempts.
Kan slightly bowed his head, and a magic circle appeared over his forehead. Xasha read the runes spinning inside the magic circle and blanched. Kan was basically signing up to be his slave. Kan could never refuse his orders or take action without his permission. Xasha would have access to Kan's Imperium to use as his own.
Kan would be reduced to a walking battery to be sucked him dry he pleased. These awful provisions made him want to vomit. Why would such a horrible thing exist, and why would anyone willingly sign up for it?
