Lily: That kind of spell borders on a taboo.
-Is this just imaging, or can you actually change the past?

@Nimda

This is just imaging... But, I'm using the same basis for a time spell... If I had been careless, I would've sent us back in time.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Vacare>

Huh.
Lily: Neat spell.

@Nimda

Not neat, there are consequences with messing with time. This is right up towards the boundary. It's hard to control, one slip and I could accidentally set this world on an entirely different path.

*The image then stops at the desired point in time*

There!

Lily: If we kill someone, they deserved it anyway.
-We’re just going to ask for assistance in a difficult quest anyway.

@Nimda

Yup. Anyways, we'll have to investigate this separately. Noct, get word to the King.

*Noct flies up and away, I then touch the ground*

Re-Trace

*A blue glowing magic circle in the shape of a clock covers the field and shows what happened in this place back in time. Blurs of what had happened go back in reverse. The images are transparent and ghost like as the events rewind*

Lily: That’s a pretty big exception, dontcha think?
-I’ll trust that you won’t—SideSlash could blacklist you for that anyway. When is this siege supposed to be?

@Nimda

Dunno... And the big exception is if you guys do something that even I can't agree with like... Kill innocent people? Or something? But I don't have to worry about that from you two. At least, I don't think I do.

Lily: *Drops the magic ritual*
Oh. Well if you want to be like that.
-*Laughs*
Veil will stick to his word.

@Nimda

I'd never break a vow. Not unless there was a good reason for me to do so.

<Snipped quote by Vacare>

Lily: Great, I'll get started. Initializing contract—
*A series of magic circles winds down my arm and ends with a rotating inscription, and I hold my hand out to you*
Please place your hand against the seal.

@Nimda

*I place my hand against the seal*

A gentleman's agreement aye?

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Vacare>

Lily: How about this! We help you fight off whatever's declaring war, and you help us out on one job of our choosing, 90/10 split.

@Nimda

Hmmmm

*I shrug*

Ah what the hell, sure why not?

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Vacare>

Lily: Bahahahaha! As if that’ll ever happen!
-*Rolls my eyes*
The only long-term contracts I have are with this worthless spirit, and we both see how well that turned out.

@Nimda

Hahaha! Well, think of this as an indefinite favor. You can just call me up whenever. As long as I'm not busy with something important of course.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Vacare>

Protection from this threat or indefinite protection?

@Nimda

Well I'm offering my indefinite service. You'll have all my skill sets at your disposal. It even goes as far as babysitting if you finally find yourself a suitable partner and start a family and such.

*I look at Gio with a cheeky smirk*

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Vacare>

That depends on how likely it is to get us killed.
Lily: We can probably strike a deal!

@Nimda

Alright then, how about this: In exchange for helping me protect what little we have, I will join you in any adventure you deem that you might need me in, along with a 70/30 split of all rewards in favor of you of course.
