We both sat there for minutes on end as her eyes scanned me for any signs of leading her in a lie. This was her way of protecting herself since a very young age.... It's also what has turned her into one of my most valued companions.
"I'm not Lying to you Shienna, come with me and meet my wife. I'm sure you two would get along great, She is kind hearted and so sweet. She is also able to call upon spirits and can use Necromancy like me. I promise that you will be able to stay summoned for as long as you want, here I'll prove it to you."
I smiled as I pulled out Vex's scale he gave me, it was still about halfway filled with his mana that he filled it with but I filled the rest of it with shadow mana, Using my own mana was the only way to make sure that Shienna's Contract would register that I was calling her to my side. Basically I was using Vex's mana as a battery to fuel my mana's signature. Magical mumbo jumbo magical theory bullshit.... Yada yada.....
