A Pleasure Doing Business with You by carlosm21 on DeviantArt (original) (raw)

"Thank you for summoning the…what did you call it again? Ah yes, thank you for summoning the Tenebrous Voidgulper, Hildreth old bean. Its a rummy-looking beast isn't it? And you say it will do whatever I command? Absolutely splendid! I’ve been in the soup lately and I could use a helping hand, or tentacle, as it were.

You see, my dear fellow, there's this ghastly business with my inheritance and, well, I won't bore you with the details but suffice it to say, there are some unsavoury chaps who have taken a shine to my ancestral lands. They're being a confounded nuisance, and I've been looking for an expedient way to give them the old heave-ho, so to speak.

I've heard rumours of your particular... interests, shall we say, and it struck me that you might be just the chap to help me out. Now, you're sure there's no chance this nasty blighter could turn on me?"

"Rest assured, my dear fellow, the creature is bound to my will and it won't even have a inkling of turning on you. You see, I've employed the most reliable methods of summoning and control. It's practically foolproof. Besides, I've been studying these dark arts for years; it's become something of a hobby, really. You have my word; there's no risk involved. Now, let's seal our mutually beneficial arrangement with a handshake, as gentlemen should."
