Note 1: I will have this series cross with many series, I will NOT know everything about every series, I will try to give heads up if I'm crossing over a series I'm not very familiar with, and ask for advice, thanks!

Note 2: i don't own any characters that appear in my work that show up in other people's work, they belong to their creators and publoshers.

Note 3: this is my first time writing a story for people to read, I do intend to later adapt this series into an actual novel, if that works out I'll reveal it in the last chapter of the story!

I could feel my heart pounding in my chest, I had just received news from my homeroom teacher, my little sister had broken out with a new disease sweeping America, it was dubbed: The Plague! It has a 100% mortality rate.

The symptoms were easy to spot, your eyes go pitch black, and your skin starts to turn green, starting from your elbows and knees. There was no known cure, nor a way to treat it, no one was even sure if it was contagious. My teacher called a cab to drive me to where my sister was quarantined: a lab called God's Work. It looked like any other hospital, except no one looks happy there, because well, everyone either dies, or knows someone who's dying.

I checked in to the front desk, I was told she was in room 666, sixth room, in the sixth sector, on the sixth floor, they told me it wasn't severe yet. I stared at the door for a minute, until I knocked. I immediately heard loud coughing, followed by a "come in" from what sounded like my mother. I opened the door and saw my sister sitting in the weird bed thing, her elbow was green all the way to her shoulder.

I wish we talked about how much we loved her, but we didn't, we just sat there in silence for what felt like days, around 6pm we had to leave so that the doctors could run some tests on her. As we were leaving i stopped to go to the bathroom, when I was washing my hands a little boy in a skirt walked up to me.

" H-hello, my na-name is Mare. " he said to me, "what's yours?"

" sorry kid, I'm not in the mood. " I muttered to him, as I tried to walk past him, but his hand grabbed my arm.

"Listen human, I have a once in a life time opportunity for you, and your going to listen!" He snapped at me. I tried to yank my arm away from him, but I didn't even make him budge, don't get me wrong, I stood at 6'3, and weighed 200 lbs of muscle, I should've dragged the kid through the hospital! That's when I noticed his eyes, his left was green, and his right was blue! "My master, Ains Ooa l Gown, will cure your sister of the Plague, in exchange for your: life, soul, and free will."

Normally when a child talks like that, it's a joke, but I started to feel a strange pressure, like a chill up your spine, but, all over my body, and it wasn't leaving! Not that I wanted to anymore.

I looked at him, "Are you serious?" I don't know why I believed him, but I did, " Can you cure my sister? "

"Of -of coarse I can!" A flame appeared in his hand, then disappeared, leaving a piece of paper behind, " J-just sign this con-contract! "

He handed me the contract, I read it over, the gist was, I would obey some dude named Ains, until the day that he named an heir, at which point I would obey the heir, it also mentioned something about a contest. But it guaranteed that my sister would be cured, " you got a pen? " I asked him.

"No, you sign with your blood!" I noticed that his eyes turned a creepy shade of red, I also noticed that he was handing me a knife, I swallowed hard, and cut my hand open, dropping blood onto the contract, when it again burst into flames and disappeared, then, everything went black.
