Submitted by Quill To Page
Write a story where people are limited to only three lies in their lifetime.
Is your protagonist about to use up their first, or maybe their last?
entitled
"So in giving you these powers, i will trust that you will keep up your end of the transaction?"
'Yes...'
"Are you sure because this is the last time you can back out, after you have sworn the oath it's done and there is no backing out"
'i am sure..'
"So will you hold up your end of the transaction, i have detailed the consequences of not keeping to the oath in prior meetings or do you need to hear them again?"
'No, i was made aware of the consequences early on...'
"Good, so for this part of the oath to be complete i need you to list the three lies you have chosen to use in your lifetime; they are in writing, yes? Signed in blood also?"
'I have the list here, in a sealed envelope'
"it is stated that i should not receive this way, i am saddened, but no matter, pass me the letter"
'here' *passes the envelope*
*opens the envelope and unfolds the letter, a gentle dry copper smell coming off the page*
"these are your choices my dear?"
'yes'
"I see, i shall now read aloud and thus seal the oath"

"and thus the oath is sealed, my powers yours"
'can i go?'
"Yes"
'thank you mother'
