"You know you could have just admitted defeat at the beginning. It would have saved both of us a lot of time." I smugly stated as I looked at the small object in my hands that contained a single drop of blood in it with its dangling silver chain loosely coiled around my wrist. "Here, you should keep this as a memento." I threw the phial towards the Queen which she effortlessly caught with a gloomy scowl on her face.

The phial of blood I was talking about was a dark magic ritual from the Harry Potter world and symbolized the blood pact or blood oath I and the Queen of the Angels had just made between the two of us. It was an irreversible magically binding agreement that stated that I... would try my best not to kill her or annihilate Heven and its angels as long as she submitted herself to my authority along with all the angels faithful to her and remained loyal to me for the rest of eternity. However, if she were to so much as even think about harming me, deceiving me, or betraying me in any way or manner, she would suffer terrible consequences that the phial would bring on her including but not limited to an unimaginable amount of soul-wrenching pain and even death.
This Blood Pact magic was originally revealed in the Fantastic Beasts movie as the reason why Grindelwald and Dumbledore could never actively fight or hurt each other. But unlike in the film where both of them had to follow the terms of the blood oath to the 't', the blood pact the Queen and I made between ourselves was skewed in my favor. After all, I was in a higher position during our negotiations, so the Queen had no choice but to agree to all the terms I presented. In fact, I worded the contract in such a way that even if I were to choose to break my side of the deal, she would still have to keep hers while I would get away almost scot-free without any punishment or penalty of any kind.
"This phial... are you sure you want me to hold on to it? Isn't this the source of the blood magic that you just cast? What if I find a want to destroy it and then take revenge from you by AHHHHHH..." A sudden scream tearing through the Queen's throat stopped her from finishing her words as she fell to the floor in pain.
"You must have been thinking about doing something real nasty to me for that phial to react like that," I chuckled looking at the silver chain that had snaked and twisted around her arm so tightly that it almost seemed like they were going to break her hand. "And no, you can't destroy it. That phial is indestructible and the only way it will ever be void is if it kills you after you break the terms of our contract. Of course, you can try to throw it away or give it to someone else to get rid of it, but it will always find you and come back. As for the pain you experienced right now, it was not just mere physical pain. No, that chain there is capable of strangling your soul itself even if the soul is as twisted and broken as an angel's. So, no, you will never be free of that thing in your life. You see, I had a lot of ways to make magically binding contracts between the two of us, but I specifically chose this one because I want you to carry that little thing with you for the rest of your eternal life so that it can always remind you of who truly owns you." I coldly explained.
