Snake-Eyed stared at Alex, and his personality changed completely from what it was moments ago. He became much more serious, and his imposing presence made it hard for Alex to breathe.
"But what if I die? Then you won't be able to find someone to free you," Alex stated.
"You just said you cannot die," Snake-Eyed replied as he moved toward the bookshelf, searching for something. "This will make you more powerful if it works, and if it doesn't, you'll just return from the dead to free me again. I'll reward you handsomely if you do. I can even grant you a kingdom of your own!"
Alex didn't know if Snake-Eyed was telling the truth, but there was no denying that the man was powerful, and saving his life would make them allies, which would be quite useful to Alex.
Snake-Eyed had been trapped there for 2000 years, so he would do anything to escape and was willing to pay any price to do so.
