6 – Binds and Counter-Binds

Onwership

I found myself in a position that I never would have imagined.   I suddenly had ownership and responsibility for a demon.  Not a true demon, mind you, but still as demonic as one might find.

It wasn’t what I wanted.  However, at that point, I didn’t feel like there were any choices.  Something needed to be done by someone, and I was it.

One might think the temptation to take command over a highly useful, weaponized demon, and use it for my own ends, would be tempting and even consuming. After all, one of Omen’s primary purposes was being an Assassin.

Binds

But I had absolutely no interest in doing anything with him.  Even though I was given the binds, I never touched them. 

I found that if needed, I could just command them remotely. The only time I used them was to make the binds, themselves, bigger.  Omen had grown since they were put on him, and they were constricting him.

As to how I controlled the binds, I wasn’t sure.  I set the intention, and that seemed to do the job.

As previously stated, my plan was to give Omen his freedom.  To give him the chance to grow and pursue his own path. I also had to ensure that Omen didn’t get drunk on his newly found freedom and consume every Soul that he possibly could.

According to information I discovered much later, Omen didn’t need to consume souls for himself to survive. He was doing it on behalf of another, more dangerous being, that he had been connected to.

I did not know that at the time, but I took steps to ensure that a balance was kept.

Why Let Him Live?

5 – The Deal That Bought A Demonic

Demonic Soul Eater

Great Risk

Having access to Phoenix Energy, I wondered if it could be used as currency to buy a demon, especially one such as Omen.  While it was true that it appeared to be well sought after, I wasn’t sure if it would be useful as a bargaining chip.  Still, I mentioned it to him.

Omen:    You don’t have to do anything.  You know I don’t expect anything.  So, your choice.

I explained that if his enslavement was illegal, then I could only buy him with his permission.

My thoughts were, if I owned him, then he could come under my protection and could not be taken by another.   I did not intend to hold him against his will.  That would mean he could come and go as he pleased.   It also meant he was free to make whatever choices, poor or otherwise, for himself.

I had no idea if this was even possible, but doing nothing would lead to nothing.  And nothing great is ever accomplished without a high level of risk.

The Phoenix Archives: About This Site

The Phoenix Archives

Welcome to The Phoenix Archives.

You are about to enter into a series of blogs that may well challenge all that you believe in.

First item at hand:   This is not a work of fiction.

This site is a supplemental blog to my autobiography:    I Am The Phoenix.

For those who have read it, this blog will provide a lot of additional information and insights into that book.

For those who have not, it will still provide a lot of fascinating information.

Much of History and Mythology has been incorrectly recorded, either through lack of information or being written by the Victors.

I will attempt to cover what I know and fill in the blanks as they come to light.

All I can do is promise that the information is as faithful to History as it can be made. Events will be described as they occurred without dramatization or embellishment.

At this point in time, a new entry will be released every Saturday at 6 am PST.

To start at the beginning, click on this link:     A little about me.

You can see all entries here.
