The deal
This is a one off I have set post TDP which is about the deal Galahad managed to extract from Te'ijal.
Galahad had been looking at his wife for the past half an hour. He had always thought she was nothing more than a demon spawn. For the past 300 years, he had longed to get rid of her. She had captured his soul in a soul pendant and forced him to marry her in exchange for freeing his soul. Then that demon spawn had turned him into a creature of the night and tormented him for 300 years.
Then one day, the chance for freedom had finally come. The evil vampire Gyendal was about to kill his sister Te'ijal. After that he would be free of the vampiric curse. But at the last moment he could not bring himself to do it. And along with his new friends he had saved his wife. A part of him had told him to let her die. God knew she deserved it.
Now he realized that despite all his feelings of hate, she had loved him. Just a few hours ago, she had cleansed his soul after he had been possessed by a demon.
Galahad also remembered the brief respite from being vampires. His wife had moped all the time but unlike him had never tried to run away. She could have gone to Ghed'ahre and got herself bitten but she resisted the temptation. When the girl, Mel, had been kidnapped, she had volunteered to get herself bitten. But fate had not been kind to her and instead he had been bitten. He also remembered how she bit him when he had turned into a vampire to become a vampire again. Despite what she had done 300 years ago, he realized that he loved her. Finally he said, "Te'ijal, I know I have never said this but I love you more than life itself. I would kill my self again and again to be with you."
Te'ijal turned and looked at his husband suspiciously. For a moment, she wondered whether he was mentally ill or something. Finally she mustered the courage to say, "You don't know how long I have been waiting for you to say this. At times I would have done anything to hear you say this. You always flirted with me but never said this."
Galahad remembered how his wife thought his insults were examples of him flirting and chuckled. Then he realized he had an advantage. He said, "Te'ijal, would you do anything to hear me say that I love you one more time. Swear that you would and I'll go back to Ghed'ahre with you."
Te'ijal wondered for a moment what kind f thing Galahad would make her do. Then she remembered that as he was her creator, she was bound to listen to him anyways. She said, "I swear by the darkness I will do anything you say."
Galahad said, "I love you. Let's go back to Ghed'ahre. Also I command you never to eat humans again."
Te'ijal remembered the sumptuous taste of human blood and screamed in denial. Then she said, "You tricked me."
Galahad calmly turned and replied, "You taught me well."
THE END
This is my first submission and I hope you guys won't be too harsh.
