"So would you like to entwine your fate with ours?" the Seer asked with hope in her eyes.

But hearing this Dexter became stunned as a light shone in his eyes, he was excited but also worried" Fate?! This is mysterious and powerful energy. But what can I do? I am but a simple man." Dexter said with slight apprehension.

Hearing this question the Seer was startled, she thought that he would jump on the occasion to get so many nekomata but she was wrong so she said," You are not a normal person and I know it."

After waiting for a while, in which Dexter was thinking and the Seer was looking at him," What do you mean by 'entwining your faith with mine' I am not too well versed with the working of faith." Dexter asked.

"In short we will become your subordinate, No matter how many nekomata are scattered throughout the underworld or any world you would get a chance to summon them, but only once for each one. You will be connected with them spiritually. You can find all of them no matter where they are after our fates are combined." The Seer said with a plan look.

"But will they agree to join me, they don't know me, they haven't seen me, they even don't know about me, even if we are connected with fate, will they really follow me?"

"Yes, they would, as when the fates combine they would see you as their ruler. This is how the Youkai faction works. Once the fate is connected they need to obey the order, no matter what they are, this is also the reason why the nekomata clan was unable to refuse when the underworld and Youkai faction sign the contact and nekomata clan was forced to shift to the underworld. But at this moment we are free from the fate of others but our own fate is bleak and you are our only hope."

After thinking a little while, Dexter said," So, in other words, they will be my subordinate and won't harm me no matter what I tell them to do."

"Yes!" The Seer gave a short reply.

Dexter nodded his head, and Seer seeing this smiled a beautiful smile, "ok we don't have long, so I will initiate the contract."

"I Sara, the Seer of nekomata clan and the current head, declare that from this moment forward we would always serve Mr. Dexter as our master. I the Fate container of all the nekomata now transfer my rights and fate thread of nekomata clan to our Master."

Then the Seer Sara turned into a big white thread which looked like a DNA and that thread combined with Dexter.

As soon as this happened he could feel all the nekomata throughout the world and all the nekomata too could feel the change. They all kneeled and repeated the oath to always follow him.

At this time Kuroka and Shirone too felt the difference and knew that their destiny has changed, they too feel on their knees and sobbed.

Dexter could distinctly feel them and as of yet, they haven't been turned to the devil.

After feeling all of them, Dexter Declared in an authoritative voice,"To all the nekomata, I am your new master from this day forward you all belong to me and are my family. And from this day forward no one would be able to bully you, I will summon all of you to me in three days. If anyone of you is dissatisfied with this they could all ignore the summons and could live your life as you are living.

Although you don't know much about me but, I will just say this, from this day forward your clan will not be treated as a slave of anyone. You will become my family and I am very protective of my family.

Also, I don't know how to put my feeling into words so I will just transmit my feeling to you. Hope you guys will answer my summons."

Then he transmitted the feeling of protection as well as home to them.

"Although, I am not good with words I just want to tell you that, although I don't know how to love, I do know how to care. That is all."

"Master, since the Seer has chosen you we will follow her will." Someone said from the nekomata village.

"Yes, we believe in her, so we will also believe her decision."

"Yes we will believe you but if you want me you will have to prove you are worthy." A sharp voice said.

And there were similar mummers all around.

"My clan, I know what I did and you won't be dissatisfied when you meet him this I assure you because threads of faith are never wrong." Sara said in all of their minds.

"Master, could you summon me right now. I need to join my other body." a voice called in his head.

"Are you Valera?" Dexter asked inside his head with shock.

"Yes, I am." Valera replied.

"Alright, I will summon you." Dexter replied and finally, the crystal broke and he was back inside his body.

*Excess fate energy absorbs and congratulation on gaining your first legion.*

"I thought, I don't have an AI." Dexter said out loud. But no one responded, so Dexter just ignored it and then started to summon Valera.

After concentrating a little he was able to pinpoint her location which was in a nearby town, then called out to her.

"Valera, I, your master summons you to come forth and pledge." then a magic circle appeared in front of him and a mature beauty walked out of it.

She went in front of her counterpart and the part started to merge with her.

After few moments only one Valera stood in front of him, she went on one knee and said," I Valera accepts you as my master and from this day forward will serve you with all my heart."

Then the fate tread shoots out of Dexter and started to bind her in bright light. Now he could feel her entire being, her thoughts, her feeling everything. So he knew why she did it, it was her unique ability and she wasn't sure he would be worthy of the contract.

Feeling this Dexter was startled he went near her and helped her on her feet and said with a smile," From this moment you will be my first nekomata family."

Then he looked in her eyes which were big and brown and said," Glad to have you on the team."

"Thank you, master, I won't let you down and I am sorry for doubting the Seer." Valera said with tears in her eyes.

"Don't worry about the small details. Come on let's go. That light should have alerted someone." Dexter said jumping down from the building and Valera followed.
