Cain slunk closer to him as a devilish grin pulled at the sides of her mouth . I love the threats at the end . So far I ' ll be burned alive by fiendfyre and eaten for breakfast by an acromantula . Just so you know the dementor ' s kiss is not original but I won ' t hold it against you . Mei , if you please . The witch next to her looked about Elliott ' s age and although her actions were following Cain ' s orders directly by raising her wand there was a deep fire in her eyes . Cain did like to keep the feisty ones as close as possible . As Mei began to speak Cain never took her eyes off of Elliott before her , an almost giddy glee seeping from her pores . You understand with whom you are about to make this vow Cain an Impure and one of your new Ministers of Magic . Leave the loyalties of your old life behind because , now , with this vow you will swear fealty to the Impure Ministers Regan Delacroix , Cain Vilhjlmsdttir , Able Vilhjlmsson , and High Minister Bastien . You will willingly and obediently follow them into this new world for magical beings . You will serve the Impure Ministers by providing any knowledge , skills , or useful advantages to employ against the Impure Ministers ' foes . You will be a loyal servant to their cause by following their commands to completion . You will be a secret keeper , withholding all information and knowledge passed to you by the Impure Ministers from those not bearing the blood status mark of the Sanvolgo curse . You will protect the Impure Ministers to the best of your ability , protecting them from death , capture , and coercion . You will not communicate the contents of this vow to any witch , wizard , or other magical being that does not bear the blood status mark of the Sanvolgo curse , nor will you communicate that you made a vow to the Impure Ministers at all . You will not aid any that do not bear a blood status mark of the Sanvolgo curse . Will you make this vow , or not ? Cain had contained her joy as best she could , but her smile remained as wide as ever . I should mention that taking this vow willingly and not breaking it are tied to keeping your life . Decide now how valuable your life is to you . With that the witch fell quiet and the room was plunged into silence . The wizards watched with no emotion , but Cain became more excited the longer time stretched on .
