I stood there and watched as the Dark One made her offer. The girl's ribbon for the potion.

The girl stood there for a moment, contemplating the offer. Moments later she responded.

"Yes, it's a deal"

I saw The Dark One smile. Then she waved her hand, casting some spell.

"To your right next to my servant is a pedestal with a crystal ball of sorts. Sign your name of the face of the orb."

I turned to my left to see a pedestal, that wasn't there before. The Dark One then waved her hand again speaking a spell aloud.

"Awaken eye of Di-Rym"

Suddenly the orb looked as if it were an eye that had opened. Throughout the room I could feel a sort of force sapping the energy throughout the room.

The girl walked over and touched the orb tracing her name on the orb. A white marking appeared and quickly disappeared as she wrote her name.

"Now to finish the contract place your hand on the orb"

And again, she followed suit.

Something was off, she touched the orb then became completely still as if paralyzed.

Then she fell. Collapsing to the floor.

"Cemilan, catch her!"
