A simple recruitment job.
Now it is just between the Handmaid and Aradia Megido.
It is as if all else disappears and falls away, leaving an almost serene atmosphere. Both of them know, now, the vagaries of time splaying themselves open to be plainly understood, the circumstantial simultaneity of this event playing over and over in their heads like the time loop that it is.
The Handmaid will enlist the Eternal Servant, extending the same bargain once offered to her. It will be the sort involving neither negotiation nor possibility of refusal, expressed in terms plainly understood by the doomed Maid. The Eternal Servant, as thenceforth shall she be known, will once again manipulate timelines in a way the Witch of Space could not, and she will serve as her new master's maid, carrying out his work in places he cannot reach.
The two remaining combatants in the fray, surveying both Space and Time, will make each other pay for the crimes against their friends. Their payment will be mutually dealt in the currency of punishment and reward at once. The Servant will be rewarded with the power and immortality her new service entails, and punished by the grueling slavery for which it is synonymous. And the Handmaid, in turn, is to be punished by death at the hands of her replacement. And so too will this be her reward.
And thus carried out is the tale of the Demoness in human form.
The timepiece and its great pendulum strike their final movement, and the Handmaid falls.
Long live the Handmaid.
