"I want immortality. I never want to die."The imp grins at your words and slaps out at the hourglass that had run halfway through the sand within, as his hand came into contact with the hourglass it seemed to writhe as it changed shape in its entirety, compressing inwards and twisting into the shape of a ring. In moments the hourglass has changed into a ring in the shape of a snake biting its own tail, its upper half is pitch black while its lower half, and tail are pure unblemished white. Grabbing it out of the air he flicks it towards you, and starts to speak,
"There are always those who ask for immortality, and of the countless I have seen few have ever come to like the choice they made that day. I can't wait to see what it does to you, a being whose lifespan would have originally barely surpassed ninety years coming to live forever, how many times can you face death before the madness takes you? I'm going to bet ten times will be your limit, but now I'm required to tell you about the rules for your Gift though I have no obligation to actually explain how it works, I'll let you suffer through that.
Once you put on this ring Death will no longer have any hold over you, for all those beings who fall short of the Gods and their legacies death will never really seem to stick when they go about chopping you to pieces, burning, and disintegrating you. However, you and the ring will from that day forth be bound together, should you ever remove the ring or someone else purposely remove it from your hand then you'll die instantly. Well first you'll suffer through every instance when you should have died before then Death will come along for it's long awaited prize.
Of course something like your arm with the ring on it being cut-off won't cause your death, but someone coming along and trying to steal the ring from your severed arm certainly will! Aside from that all I have to say is that what you asked for is immortality, enjoy your miserable existence for the Gods, and I will be watching with interest!"
With that the imp jumps off Carl's shoulder directly into a newly opening rift which quickly snaps shut behind him. Moments after the world seems to slowly flow back to life as the snow starts to drift back to the ground followed by Carl jumping backwards as he reaches for the rifle at his side and screams,
"WHAT THE FU-"
He stops just as he brings the gun up to bare as he suddenly seems to realize something, and with the gun still readied he looks over at you and asks,
"Did you ... uh, did you not just see that? I swear there was a burning man running towards me with .... something that resembled bats chasing him.
What the hell is going on?"
Carl slowly starts to mutter as he finishes his question before turning to scan the area again with his clearly shaking finger on the trigger.
