Nick looking at Zack asked "you okay now?"
Zack replied "I've been worse"
Nick smiled "for some reason I doubt that"
Zack chuckled "atleast I got an acting principle now"
Nick raised his eyebrows "how?"
Zack replied "well' i just sat thinking about my recent experiences in divination especially the last one, and it just sort of clicked" he paused for a moment before saying "a Mystery Pryer must search for the secrets of this world, he takes pleasure in his discoveries and moves on, prying into secrets is a calling for him, however one must tread with caution, searching for the truth among the perilous unknown"
Nick blinked a few times "isn't that more than one principle?"
Zack thought for a moment as he said "I suppose your right"
Nick pondered for a moment and said "I suppose even I got an acting principle"
now it was Zack's turn to blink "really?"
Nick shrugged " 'a sleepless must reign during the night when he is at he strongest' and 'he must remain in the embrace of darkness and wait for the opportune moment to strike' "
then suddenly they heard a voice from behind them "Even I got something similar"
as both of them almost jumped they realized it was just Chris, Nick cursed "When did you get here?"
He replied "I've been here for the past few minutes... I was acting"
Zack asked "so.. what is your acting principle?"
Chris said "well.. it goes something along the lines of 'An Assassin's strength lies in his capacity to finish fights quickly' and 'he must wait for the perfect moment to kill his target in one strike.' "

Leah, now with Kevin and Arthur in an isolated room, said "before you two leave for this ball you must sign a spiritual contract"
Arthur frowned "what sort of contract?"
Leah smiled "don't worry it isn't one that will restrict your freedom" she paused for a moment before continuing "you just have to promise to never intentionally reveal the acting method to anybody"
Kevin asked "what about revealing that we are Beyonders?"
Leah sighed "that's up to you but it's advised to not reveal it, since it may cause panic among your family members, however since your nobles it shouldn't cause too much trouble, so it's your wish whether or not you reveal that your an official Beyonder to your family"
Kevin nodded as Leah took out a silver knife and dipped it in salt and then in water before forming a wall of spirituality, she then lit a candle meant for 'god' and then did the remaining ordinary ritual procedures before chanting the Fool's honourific name and then spoke a different honorific name,
"The Blessed of The Fool"
"The First Light in The Forsaken Darkness"
"The Saviour of The City of Silver, The Sun"
"I!
I pray for you to grant me the contract that binds those that serve The Fool"
Immediately the candle flame expanded and two golden papers were shot out of it into Leah's hands as she handed them to us, on them written in golden ink that seemed to almost glow was
'by signing this contract you are bound to the clauses below,
'You shall not divulge directly or indirectly the details regarding to the acting method to anyone outside The Fool's Church, except for those already aware with the method.'
'You shall divulge it if you are coerced by torture or other forms of beyonder abilities'
'You shall not divulge it to friends or family without informing the Church.'
'You are forgiven if you have revealed it unintentionally or by accidents'
