The Sorcerer's Vow

I met the Sorcerer's gaze, unflinching. "Your memories for eternal youth?" he whispered.

I nodded, resolute. "Yes, we have a deal?"

With a flourish, he sealed our pact. "Done. Await me on the solstice night."

He vanished, leaving me a talisman of timeless magic. Returning home, my partner questioned, "How many this time?"

I checked our accords: strength, knowledge, prosperity, longevity. "Four sorcerers, a witch, a celestial dragon. They'll share our eternal burden."

Together, we braced for our ageless future, knowing sacrifices come at a high cost.
