7 – The Pit and The Wake-Up Call

Beast from the pit

Polar Opposites

Omen had attitude, but was likable at the same time. Often, I would go along with his threads to see where he was going with things. It helped me learn more about him, and I also gained much knowledge.

Even though we were almost polar opposites, we seemed to share the same attitudes and humor. I also learned a lot about how the demon world worked, both on this level and on the lower Astral worlds.

Technically, “learned” isn’t the right word. It was more unlearning what I thought I knew, and remembering that which I had already known.

Fantasy or Reality?

Still, despite all that had happened, part of me still wondered if I wasn’t making this all up. After all, everything I had tried and done seemed to happen so easily. There was little to no effort involved. If I wanted something done in the Astral, all I needed to do was just have the thought, and it would be.

I wondered, more often than not, if I was being humored, or if this was some elaborate fantasy, such as the kind you would play in Dungeons and Dragons. (Which, as it went, I happened to be playing at the time with a group of friends. I ended giving it up as the lines between fantasy and reality became way too blurred.)

Wasn’t it possible that Omen was some screwed up teenager whose life traumas had caused her to escape into a world of fantasy?

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?

4 – To Buy A Demon?

Demonic for sale

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.
