A deal? With who or what? I didn’t know that it was possible for someone to forge a deal to have one’s soul tied onto a reliquary or anything similar to it. Thought it was something of a story meant to teach people not to try to sell out their soul.

(Anya didn’t expect that Rasputin had made a deal in their world that binds his soul onto that glass trinket of his but at the same time she was not entirely surprised to hear it. Whatever that deal was, it must have been enough to make him quite powerful at a cost.)
