Have you heard about the Beast of Promise?
My friend just told me about the Beast of Promise. She says it is a ruthless beast without form, who sees either a promise being fulfilled or a price being paid. I didn't trust her, a formless beast sounds like the most commonly made-up tale, but she insisted so we did “the Ritual of the Promise Beast”; we made a promise that we would meet at the bistro a day later, and whoever does not show up, she would have to drink the blendmaster's tea. Then I stayed at home. Past the meet-up time, nothing happened. My room was just as usual, no sign of any creature except myself. So I was going to tell my friend that the beast doesn't exist. But just when I was reaching for my phone on the table, beside it was a dusty cup! I promise it was not my cup! Unmistakably, the liquid inside it was definitely blendmaster's tea... I tried to call my friend to tell her about this, but my phone has no signal! That has never happened! Then I thought maybe I will just meet her in person, so I rushed to the door, yet I can't push it open?! Then, I might be delusional, but I think I heard heavy, bestial breathing from the other side? Then I have a theory, perhaps if the beast must see I pay the price, then I will really have to drink the tea... I did that (what a foul tea!!!!), and after that my phone was functional again, and the door just opened! Oh, and just when I was checking the doors, leaving the empty cup behind me, the cup vanished! I guess I have to believe in the beast now!
