Adams smiled, a gesture that seed both reassuring and unsettling. "Nothing too onerous, just simple tasks."
The woman shifted uneasily, her instincts still tingling with caution. "And what if he refuses?" she asked, her tone asured. Her voice was edged with a mix of fear and determination, aware that the offer might co with a hidden cost.
Adams' gaze flicked to her, a spark of amusent dancing in his eyes. "He can refuse, of course," he said lightly. "But he won't." His confidence was unwavering as if he had already seen the outco of this conversation.
Her brother considered the offer carefully, the weight of his sister's gaze on him palpable. She was trying hard to hide her concern, but he could feel it, a heavy presence pressing against his decision. Yet, the prospect of power, the chance to protect not only his sister but perhaps their entire kingdom, was a tantalizing possibility.
"What happens if I agree?" he asked finally, his voice tinged with determination. His eyes were locked on Adams, searching for any hint of deceit or danger.
Adams leaned back on his throne, satisfied with the young man's resolve. "If you agree, you'll be marked as one of my Horsen. You'll gain strength, knowledge, and the ans to change your fate—and perhaps the fate of your world. You'll beco sothing greater than you've ever dread."
The woman bit her lip, torn between hope and fear. Her brother t her gaze, a silent understanding passing between them. They had always faced challenges together, and this decision felt like the most significant one yet. He wasn't just making this choice for himself but for both of them—for their survival and their future.
With a deep breath, the young man turned back to Adams. "I accept your deal," he said firmly, the words carrying the weight of a promise. His heart pounded in his chest, a mix of fear and excitent swirling inside him.
Adams nodded, a pleased expression on his face. "Excellent," he said, his voice a low rumble that seed to resonate in the very air around them. "Welco to your new destiny, my Horseman."
With that, Adams stretched his hands, and a portal appeared out of nowhere, swirling with energy and light. "Go through that portal, the boss will make you a horseman proper," he said to the two siblings, his tone brisk.
The siblings stared at the portal, their earlier relief turning into confusion. They exchanged a glance, trying to make sense of what Adams had just said.
"What is going on here?" the woman demanded, stepping protectively in front of her brother. "You just said he was going to be your Horseman, not soone you work for. And besides, from the way you carry yourself, you do not strike as soone who works for anyone or has a superior."
Adams shrugged, seemingly indifferent to their hesitation. "I don't have the luxury to explain myself to you," he replied, his patience wearing thin. "Just go through the portal, and everything will be explained to you."
"No, we had a deal. I work for you, no one else," the brother said, his voice firm. His earlier uncertainty had been replaced by a newfound resolve. He wouldn't be so easily swayed without understanding exactly what he was committing to.
Adams frowned, his expression darkening. The siblings took a step back, alard by the sudden shift in his deanor.
"Listen," Adams said, his voice low and tinged with frustration. "I'm not the boss, but you still work for because the boss and I are one. He's the only one who can make you a Horseman. My job is to find his candidates and bring them to him. So do a favor and get your asses into the portal so I can move on to my next candidate."
The siblings stood frozen, their minds racing. The portal crackled with energy, a gateway to an uncertain future. They knew that stepping through it would change everything, and yet, the promise of power and purpose was hard to resist.
The woman looked at her brother, her eyes searching his face for any sign of doubt. He gave her a reassuring nod, his jaw set with determination. She took a deep breath, her heart pounding with a mix of fear and anticipation.
"Alright," she said softly, her voice steady despite her inner turmoil. "We'll go. But rember, we're doing this on our terms."
Her brother nodded, his resolve firm. Together, they took a step forward, their hands clasped tightly as they approached the portal. The air crackled around them, and with one last glance at Adams, they stepped through, leaving the world they knew behind.
Adams watched them disappear into the swirling vortex, a satisfied smile playing on his lips. He knew that this was just the beginning, and soon enough, the realm would feel the influence of his new Horsen.
"Now ti to go beat the others in the race to get candidates for the boss's personal force"
As he said that, he disintegrated into particles, together with the throne.

The sect ground was bustling with activities as disciples were filled everywhere doing one thing or another.
Inside the main Court of the sect in the Sect Master's valley, Adams was seated in his throne as he was being served grapes by Lilith much to the shock of both her sister and Mabel.
"What spell have you used in my sister?" Said lina who just looked at Lilith as if she was possessed or sothing, "the Lilith o know would never do sothing like this, never."
"I don't think you know your sister that well then" said Mabel who just sighed and turned to the door as soone walked in.
"Greetings sect master," said Alia who walked in.
Adams looked at her and wanted to reply but the next mont, a portal appeared in the middle of the wall and two people ca out of it, "food thing we are all here, it will make things easier" he said with a smile.
