The Nature Of My Business (Revamp-Open)

[Deleted]

Dathan Burke looked over the pocket watch in his hand. In all his years, he had never seen a cursed pocket watch, but given the variety of items he had seen in his time, he believed such a thing could exist. The legend behind the watch was that its original owner had lived a long, but painful and miserable life. The wizard only died after he had destroyed it. However, a witch who desperately sought long life at any price repaired, but in the end, she too destroyed it in order to die. Someone else repaired it, and the process continued for a few centuries. And now Dathan had the chance to own it thanks to one of his hired smugglers... or rather try to sell it to someone else. Dathan would love to live forever, but only if he enjoyed such time.

Would he be a bit sneaky in selling it? Of course. Why not simply tell the buyer it guaranteed long life and say nothing more? It wasn't has if he'd be lying to them. He would simply be telling only half the truth.
