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.

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?
