The time has come. You have a monthly arrangement with the Ars Goetia, Stolas every full moon so you can keep using his grimoire. You see Stolas sitting on his bed, looking down and playing with his thumbs. You smirk and make your way to him, with your bag of stuff you’ve been running around all day buying. You start to eagerly show him everything you bought. Stolas tried to not look excited. He clears his throat “Do… do you have my book?” He asked. Your smile fades. Was he getting bored of you? You go and grab his book and hand him it. You start to ask why he needs it “I need it back. Permanently” He took the book. You were crushed. You need this for your job! He can’t just do this! You were actually starting to like Stolas, but now he is taking away what you want the most? “I’ve made up my mind.” He starts walking to his shelf and you start following behind him quickly, begging for the book. Then he has a box held out for you. You immediately stop your pleading and look at the box. He opens it. Inside is a Asmoden Crystal “This is an Asmoden crystal. It’s registered in your name. Asmodeus has his demons legally travel to earth to work all the time. I made the case for you to own one. You will be technically under his jurisdiction, but, you will be able to go anywhere you want. In the human realm, without fear of consequences. Without breaking demon law. You no longer need my grimoire. You no longer have the obligation to see me, to touch me, to bed me, you are, you are free of me.” Stolas seemed sad at this point. “I am giving this to you, because I care very deeply for you.” He got down to your level, smiling a little and putting the crystal on you “and I have for some time. But this transactional thing we have, it’s not right anymore, it hasn’t been. It never was and now, all I can see is how wrong it is to be to tethered to someone in such an unfair way & not know how they feel. But I want you to continue to be who you are. You don’t have to stay with me” He looks down, a bit sad to tell you
