An Alliance with Conditions

Luke briefly imagined the possibility of a peaceful resolution to both a conflict with the Los Angeles Life Coven, and the Demi-gods of Earth.

“How long do I get to consider your offer? Can I discuss your proposal with some of my coven members?” Luke asked hoping.

“I will give you 5 minutes here and now. And if you accept my proposal … I will give you another 5 minutes to negotiate Marriage conditions,” Freya said stepping back.

Crack!

Two chairs appeared.

“I won’t let others confuse the issue or make demands of you. This marriage proposal is between you and me. Whatever you can negotiate here is what you get. Time starts now,” Freya said sitting down with a grin.

Luke paced as his mind raced. He thought: of his coven’s needs and safety, his women’s wants and freedoms, his children’s future … and finally he thought of his own desires.

“Times up,” Freya said tapping her wrist.

“I Accept!” Luke said looking up.

“But! On a few conditions,” Luke said taking the second seat.

Freya let him get comfortable.

“Naturally we both have a few conditions for this union. But first, let me state the core of our Oath. If we agree to both use ‘Divine Oaths’ as marriage vows, we will also swear to have our covens join forces and form a united front against the other Demi-Gods of the World. And we will seek out and persecute magic users that **** humanity,” Freya said completely relaxed in her seat.

“Including our own members? Including you and me?” Luke asked.

“… everyone abusing humanity including you and me,” Freya said meeting Luke’s eyes.

Luke nodded not breaking eye contact.

“So, Mr. Jinn Binder. This is where we argue our oath addendums. Let’s agree that for every condition one of us makes to our marriage vows the other party can have an equal number of conditional addendums. Sound fair?” Freya asked happily.

“Fine with me,” Luke said with a nod.

“My 1st condition is simple. You won’t use your ‘Harem Enslavement’ power to control me in any way. I will mate with you as your wife, but when I get ‘Soul-Linked’ you cannot manipulate me,” Freya said leaning forward.

Luke nodded.

“I understand. It is an acceptable condition. … As for me, my 1st condition … I get to have 3 Primary Wives on Earth, each one of equal standing. One divine wife … you. One royal wife … High Singer Siren Queen Taylor Swift. And one mortal wife … Rebecca the Life Binders’ High-Matron,” Luke said counting on his fingers.

“Hmm, … I can’t say I agree about being considered a true equal with others. But if you want all three of us to have equal legal standing … that is Acceptable,” Freya said tapping her chin.

“My 2nd condition is like the first. You can’t use your powers to manipulate my private lovers and consorts,” Freya said crossing her legs.

“Acceptable,” Luke said not interested in playing politics.

“My 2nd condition is related to the ‘Breeding Rituals’. I want the complete authority of all coven-led ‘Breeding Rituals’. I want to control the setup, execution, and recompense given to participants. I respect that ‘Breeding Rituals’ are necessary evils. But … there is room for improvement. We can be more selective of the targets and the support we provide after transforming a community,” Luke said calmly.

A long moment passed as Freya met Luke’s gaze.

“So long as we collect the ‘Spirit Energy’ necessary for our coven’s operations, relinquishing mana collection authority to you is Acceptable,” Freya said begrudgingly.

“My 3rd condition … I want what you have … immunity to spies. You already have completely ‘Soul-Linked’ your whole coven. So, I want you to do something similar to mine. I want you to ‘Soul Link’ all of my head coven members and all of my military officers. That way you will prevent corruption and infighting in our new alliance,” Freya said pointing to Luke’s crotch.

“… I … kind of see your reasoning, but I want to be better than before. I only want to ‘Soul-Link’ coven members that want to be linked,” Luke said shifting in his seat.

“How about we ask first, and anyone that is unwilling will just be demoted or repositioned. And we get verbal and written consent from our coven members before they join your “harem”?” Freya said with air quotes.

“Acceptable,” Luke said thinking of more baby bumps.

“My third condition is related to you,” Luke said adjusting his pants chair.

“Yes?” Freya asked curiously.

“I want you …,” Luke said nervously.

“Yes?” Freya asked getting annoyed.

“Seeing how you’re already a Goddess of Fertility. And you will become the Divine Wife of the God of Siring … I want you … to,” Luke said.

“Out with it!” Freya shouted.

“I want you to be heavily pregnant … permanently,” Luke said in a burst.

“… you want what?” Freya asked confused.

“My 3rd condition is for you to completely embody the full maternal figure of a Venus Fertility Idol, and therefore always look heavily pregnant,” Luke said blushing.

“Wait a minute. … What if I want to give birth or transfer my child to another woman? And what about my proxies and avatars?” Freya asked standing up.

“You can fill or empty your womb whenever you want, but your belly and full figure can’t drop below a single 9-month baby threshold, … and your …. your proxies and any avatars …. they would also have to embody your divine status, … So, they would all have to look heavily pregnant too,” Luke said defensively.

Freya’s face turned bright red

“What in the …,” Freya said before stopping herself.

“Fine … fine … it’s fine. Sacrifices must be made for my ambitions to come true,” Freya thought taking deep breaths.

“Acceptable,” Freya said retaking her seat.

Luke sat dumbfounded, he thought for sure she would reject that condition.

“My 4th and final condition ... you will always 'Soul-link' and enslave our key enemies. Jinn, Fey, Aasimon, Demons/Devils, Sorcerers, Warlocks, and Demi-gods alike,” Freya said hotly.

“What?” Luke asked as he stopped envisioning Freya’s future figure.

“My final condition is you must continue to enslave your enemies,” Freya said still red in the face.

“Wait … I thought my binding powers were the cause of all this. If I use it as a weapon, that will just cause more fear?” Luke said standing up.

“No, the start of this marriage negotiation was because the dumb demi-god assembly thought they could control us. It’s true that fear was at the heart of their motivations, but their stupidity won the day. Now … I aim to make you our greatest strength. … When you continue to play the part of Earth’s Divine Jailor, you might even get the chance to ‘Soul-Link’ multiple imprisoned titans in 'Tartarus'. By the time everyone recognizes you as a threat … it will be too late. You will have an army of a completely loyal unstopped fighting ****. By that point, anyone that opposes us will fall, and your ‘Harem Enslavement’ abilities will become the ultimate weapon to achieve world peace,” Freya said closing her hands over her lap.

A long moment passed, as Luke stared at Freya. She just admitted to wanting to use his power to not just defend their holdings but conquer the world.

“I will accept your fourth condition, so long as you accept mine,” Luke said crossing his arms.

“My 4th and final condition ... We both promise to regularly pray for guidance from the ‘Arbiter’. And when he answers we both faithfully try to follow his instructions to the best of our abilities,” Luke said seriously.

“Acceptable,” Freya said without hesitation.
