When I sat on the bed waiting for Jashin to make her decision... Thea tap me on my shoulder and then whispered "Captain, may I suggest something?"
Hearing Thea having something to give me, makes me curious. So naturally, I let her go ahead and tell me what she wanted me to hear. "Have you heard about the common concept of Carrot and Stick?"
"... I have heard of it, yes. Why is that?"
"Isn't it perfectly applicable right now, Captain? We have been hitting Jashin with too much of the stick to the point that she's going to be delighted with even the slightest of carrot."
What Thea said makes a lot of sense and are something that I'm about to do. But, she points out that we could just give Jashin a bit of the carrot. So, let's bait her with a bit of carrot and then give her more carrots if she obey my order...
While waiting for the 5 minutes... I started chatting out of my shit just to increase the chance of Jashin accepting the offer by playing the sympathy card... I don't know everything about her but I can guess about stuff that I saw from her and hope for the best.
As they said, Shoot for the stars and even when you fall, you're swimming in the sea of it.
"Jashin. The Disease that you contracted is a rare one. Something tells me that you have a not so nice encounter with Orcs... I feel you, you know. I have a bad experience with Orcs too to the point that I wish to eradicate them of all their lives and make sure that the galaxy have no more orcs roaming in it.
They're a vile creature who can only destroy, finding thrills and pleasure in destroying and death. So, I know how painful it is to have your life ruined by such thing. I understand why you follow Deep Scavenger so much, your leader gave you that cloak that has the property to slow down your Orc Skin Disease and tone the smell down. I understand that.
But, what makes you think that I cannot offer you the same thing and even up that offer by healing you off of your disease entirely? I can give you the same cloak and then up the healing properties to kill the fungus inside and heal you in its entirety." I keep on bullshitting and Jashin eyes looked like she's looking at a ray of hope.
A reason has been given to her to let go of her past and be reborn a new. The fact that I started stating bullshit and then it actually hit the marks makes it easier for her to start to believe in what I say. No one knows about the truth behind her disease, her cloak and anything. Yet, I managed to understand her and also gives her a bit of my story to play on her sympathy.
If she follows me, she will be let out of the hell hole of Orcs hell, that's what she's picking up when she heard me talks...
But, she still have a bit of doubt in me.
Now, I pull out the swords out from her body and heal her using some healing salve and her wound closed, but not with her melted hand...
"5 minutes is up. It's time for you to made your decision. Will you accept what I have given you or will you still disobey me and then ask for death instead?" I asked her this one last time and then make sure that she understand what I'm asking her. "If you accept, I will give you the best future you wanted. There's also no more torture. I will not ask anymore."
After that I close my mouth and then pull out my brand new, Nano Technology Upgraded Dark Ray. With the base of Titanium Alloy and then in the center of it, is the main piece of my weaponry, The Mystic Nature Gem...
Then, I tap my Chest just how Victor and Thea usually do it and then a white bodysuit started to cover my body. My suit is made out of the combination of Dark Abyss Gem and Mystic Nature Gem to create a super efficient and nigh impossible to pierce suit.
Of course, the Dark Abyss Gem is the base with Mystic Nature Gem as a catalyst for some pocket weaponry that no one would see coming...
Originally, I want the design of the suit to have a bit of the crystal poking out, but that makes it easier for people to kind of see what the crystal is for, which is to use the inner ability of the gem to make an offensive ability...
But now that it's looking like a normal suit, no one would be able to see it...
"... That's a cool suit, Captain." Both Victor and Thea managed to comment on it during this time.
I just ignore their comment for now and then look at Jashin. I point my new, and upgraded Dark Ray, which I decided to name Lumisnipe.
"Now, I demand an answer." With one hand, I put my Lumisnipe right in front of Jashin's face and put my finger on the trigger ready to blast her away and cleanse her if she decide to die.
"I..." She stopped and then after gathering her mind, She looked at me straight in my eyes and stated "I pledge my loyalty to you. Captain Noah Aldridge. I am Jashin Lovelock, Fallen Noblewomen that hold the Dark Magic. My magic and my daggers, is yours now!"
In the Pod, she kneeled and then with the most determination she pledge her loyalty to me. Suddenly, after she makes her pledge, on the back of my right hand, a mark or some kind appear. It was blood red and just appearing suddenly.
"This is your mark of Loyalty? As expected from a Dark Magician." It's clear to me that this is some kind of a loyalty mark because as soon as she pledge loyalty, this appear...
"There is no doubt again in my mind, Captain. My Loyalty is for you only. Breaking my loyalty means death and I shall obey your words to the point."
With this, I have acquired a valuable part to make my dream come true...
