Any Ideas?

"What do we do?" I asked, certain she had the answers, knowing she was far smarter than me, knew more than I ever would, and had a lot more resources behind her. At the very least, she had some idea of how this all worked, how the system functioned.

"We do nothing. You do a lot. This is not my problem, not now. It's beyond the fae to interfere in such a catastrophic mess. This is your problem, Arthur, and you will deal with it. Quickly, if you know what's good for you."

"You won't help me?"

"I cannot. You made a deal, and it's one thing, shows you are smart, to find a way to break your contract, or at least delay it, because, trust me, when you next die you will fulfill your bargain with me and the universe as a whole, but you cannot create such a mess without there being dire repercussions."

"Yeah, I saw. Nobody dying."

"Exactly. Within days the planet will be overrun, within a year there will be worldwide wars leading to total, utter annihilation of the human species, and it will all be your fault."

"Okay, okay, I get it. This is quite serious, no laughing matter."

"Indeed."

"So you won't help?" I asked again, thinking maybe she'd take pity on a poor confused wizard and offer assistance.

"I cannot interfere. Doing that deal with your predecessor, agreeing to you taking over early, was against the rules but we are allowed to make such arrangements if we can find loopholes. But this is beyond me. You took the book, you tore a page, you refused to play along. Now you are paying the price. You must make it right, return the book, let Death deal with the souls trapped in limbo, and hope you don't kill everyone in the process."

"And do I really have to be Death?"

"I can tell you one thing. When you next die, you most certainly will be. You made the deal, the contract is binding for all eternity, as to what happens until then, your guess is as good as mine. Maybe when the book returns you will too, name crossed out or not, or maybe something unique and interesting will happen. We shall see. My guess is, the universe is furious with you, so I would expect something truly terrible to occur rather soon, my love. So hurry, no time to lose." Sasha smiled at me, eyes wet with sympathy for my plight, and then she shook faery dust all over my carpet and was gone.

"Damn, that didn't go as planned," I muttered, wondering what the hell I should do, and feeling a little guilty too.

I was all alone, and if I didn't get my act together, and soon, then it would be that way for all time.

With that thought, I was buoyed into action. I could do this, I would do this. I would go find that numnuts Jake, and recover the book before anyone else found it. I'd give him a slap for being so annoying, and for besting me, then I'd take it from there.
