Anathema: a person or thing that is disliked or cursed; a cursed person
"Mortal, never trust a cursed being. They are evil, wicked. You must be careful of what you ask for. There is no turning back from a deal." She smirked darkly, her voice filled with mischievous.
The serpents around her hissed, as if to warn him to decline the offer, to escape while he had time, but he was already too far gone.
With a deep breath, he sealed his fate
"I accept."
Who could have known that one deal could change everything...
