Unknown bidder
After Omen transcribed the chat he had with Jack, we discussed what we thought was truly going on.
It didn’t take us long to figure out that somehow, Jack had put new Binds on him.
In any case, it was clear Jack was going to sell him to an Unknown Bidder.
This may have been a very bad idea. Omen was not only a very powerful and dangerous demonic; he could also be used as a weapon.
For Sale By Owner
To my surprise, Omen said: Why don’t you buy me then? I don’t know what the payment is supposed to be.
I was surprised. Buying something like Omen wasn’t exactly a thing I had thought myself capable of doing. I would never even consider such an option, not in my wildest dreams.
To me, this was in the realm of the “Big Boys” with the major league.
Even though Omen appeared to have no clue who I was, he knew. He had brokered seven assassination attempts on my Life knowing full well who I was.
Accordingly, I had to do a major reality check.
Did he really think I had the collateral, clout, and ability to buy the binds that had been in control of the astral cartel called, The Triquerta, for tens of thousands of years?
I should clarify that the binds I was negotiating belonged to Jack. But as they overwrote the ones The Triquerta had on him, it came down to the same thing.
Potentially Dangerous
I ran with it, though.
Gary: Nor do I. If I bought you, all I would do is free you. I’m not sure they’d like that. I wonder if I couldn’t negotiate something. Probably that’d [sic] want my Soul for yours.
I suspected that situation with the binds and Omen being enslaved was most likely illegal. If so, I could use that to Omen’s advantage. I told him I’d see what I could do.
You might be wondering why I would have even agreed to do this. Apart from it being potentially dangerous, I was not an expert on Soul Laws. Or, so I thought.
Regardless, for me saying, “I don’t know,” was never really an option.
I don’t ever want to be that guy that dismisses things just because I don’t have an answer.
I have always believed there is a solution to everything. Inasmuch, I just did things and somehow they always worked out.
Illegal
I spoke with my Guides on the matter. They reminded me: You know he’s a demon, right, and extremely dangerous?
I just shrugged, and said: Yeah, but I don’t fear him.
Even though I knew Omen ate Souls, I was also confident that he couldn’t touch me.
I thought about the situation. Came up with a plan.
Gary: I do have something people want… and it is highly sought after. I’m thinking how to go about it, though. If I could buy you, would you be interested? Secondly, if I couldn’t, and it was an illegal Soul transaction, would you be interested in coming under my banner, if it’s possible?
Omen: Yes to both. There isn’t much else for me, as it is.
