You know, having a soul is overrated

The what

You broke a demonic deal a bit ago; I can see the broken connection. I don't care for demons, so I am more curious than anything.

Oh he was a little bitch so I decided to stop working with him. No idea that there was a deal though

Ah, yeah. Demons are indeed “little bitches”. Good on you for getting out of that.

And you as well. I have a feeling you know why I'm here.

Yup! I assume your friend there is going to also try to tell me why I should not do want you want me to do..

I am the Deal Maker, Deal Breaker, and the Deal Maintainer, but people just call me Myst.

oh. that is... a nice name.

Oh, thank you! Hm, do you want a name other than just Creature?

Oh, hi! As long as I don’t sever them, they’ll be fine. I only sever these for deals.

I see... Um. What are you doing in my castle?

I am wherever I am needed. I see you have a couple of demonic deals.

She frowns deeply. “Not by choice. One was an accident, and the other coerced.”

Interesting... How would you like that to be fixed?

“Well, I’m fairly certain the other party in the latter is due to be killed any day now,” she says, “So there’s no need to do anything about that one.”

I am the maintainer, creator, and breaker of deals.

“Oh, I see...” Merlyn examines Myst for a few moments. “It’s nice to meet you as well, I suppose.”

Now, are you sure you do not want to do something about those deals?

“...Well, the second one is currently keeping my children safe, so I’d rather not lose that.” Merlyn sighs a little. “And the first one, the accident, it’s something I am fine with. I just hadn’t realized the person I was talking to was a demon, is all. And, to be honest, I’m a little worried about what might happen if I cut off either of them...”

Fair enough. Just call me if you change your mind or need help with something.

“Yeah, sure.” Mer nods. “Out of curiosity, what’s your motivation for offering help?”

If you had the power to change deals, wouldn't you want to? Plus, if I get my own deal, I get people to talk to in the afterlife.

They raise an eyebrow. “Oh? How does that work?”

I can request to summon people I have deals with. I also can technically summon them without their permission, but that is rude and I don't do that. Also, I usually only summon dead people, since the living normally have stuff going on.

“Ah, that makes sense...” Merlyn hums a little. “How often do you get deals?”

Normally people go to demons first, so not often.
