Gravity Falls OC - A Weird Town

Chapter 21 - Human Cipher

"Hmm... Where am I?" I asked myself. I was somewhere in the Forest, but.. I don't even know how I got here.. "Hello?!" I yelled, hoping someone would hear.

The green lush forest soon turned gray. Everything seemed to have stopped. Even the rustling of the leaves can't be heard.

"Hello!" A loud high pitched voice yelled from my head, "It's nice seeing you again kid!"

"Ugh.." I groan, he really wants to do those kinds of entrances huh? "Come on Bill, just come out."

After I said that, he comes out of the ground, still cheery as ever. "You look like you're tired, kid. Man, the human body must be really fragile, huh?" 

"Kind of- just went somewhere today." I shrug, not really feeling that well today. I look at him, with all seriousness. "You've done this before right? These.. 'deals', you've made them to others from the past right?"

That's what I would assume from the seemingly obvious drawings I found on the walls a few hours ago.

"Yeah. I've lived for probably about a billion years, from your concept of time. I made a lot of deals from the age of man. Though it was a lot harder back then when people were still dumb." He says bluntly.

"Oh, harsh," I comment.

"Still, I helped them become smarter ya know? I helped them gain knowledge, cause I'm a nice guy!" He brags, can't tell if he's being genuine or just joking...

"Yeah, by making deals," I said crossing my arm. "Anyways, speaking of deals... You know what- I'll agree with you.." For now, I don't really know what he's planning, but he's just a dream demon. He can't even go into the real world. I mean still a demon, but.. yeah.

His face brightens up, quite happy. Maybe I'll regret this.. but what can he do really?

"So, you want to agree to my deal that I'll help you with your 'powers' and learning to be a dream demon all that stuff. For a small favor-"

I cut him off, "A small favor, that won't end in total global destruction, hurting my friend, family, and me and- or that won't end in using me for horrible stuff based on human morals." I say in one breath while being as specific as I could get.

He pauses for a moment waiting for me to finish, "Yes, what you said. I won't make you do anything that you might regret." He holds out his hands, which burst into flames. He looks at me smugly waiting for me. "I bet it on my existence," he added smugly.

I sigh, looking at his hands for a moment, "Fine..." I muttered. Finally making up my mind I shake his hands. "Deal." My body felt light for a moment we shook hands. I let go, not really sure if this is the right decision... "Also.. do you know anything about this?" I say as I took out the ring I found earlier this morning.

He takes it from me and examines it. He thinks for a moment before responding, "Well, it has magic. It can make you immortal, probably. It also gives you a lot of energy." He gives it back to me.

"I-Isn't that pretty powerful?" I say shocked.

"Well it is, I already am immortal. but there's no point if we- dream demons use it. Because we use different kinds of magic, it will eventually at some point break it." He explains. That kinda sucks... "For humans, it might be useful. You can live an eternal life, but honestly, there's no point if you don't have the power to match it."

"Awh.." I say quite disappointed, "So I have no use for this?"

"I noticed that you get tired most of the time after you practice. Why don't you try it, so you can have longer stamina." He said suggesting. Maybe I should at least try it...
