User blog:GoldenDiva/Dead realm: Conversation with the codemned

A odd scroll dwells deep inside a cave. It shines with blight light, giving eerie sensations all around the area. What is inside it is a recorded conversation between two beings that nobody would recognize because of one with a voice muffled by something he is wearing and the other one has an unnatural voice. Parts of the scroll are damaged but the essential of the record are still intact...

''A sound of a man sitting on a chair. He sighs a bit. Sound of a helmet being removed. Silence...

''Chaotic swelling sound of energy constantly gathering. Sound of a man jumping up of a seat. Rattling sound of a halberd pulled out. Footsteps heard from the distance, closing in...stopping near.''

"Who are you?"

-Surely you do know me. I am.... a friend.-

"Answer my question! Who are you?"

-You seriously do not know huh? I am someone you should know. I am not your enemy.-

"What are you doing here then?"

-Here?-

"Yes, here. In MY domain!"

-Ohh, my apologizes then, I was unaware there was someone else in here. Thought I glad to meet you here, good sir.-

"Do not call me that!"

-Why not kind man?-

"You cannot judge someone so hastily, especially if you just met them."

-Ohh, but I do judge you favorably. Most people would just take it as a compliment.-

"You cannot. We have just met"

-I see, what a strange man you are.-

"Also, I still don't know who you are."

-Of course, it's normal to wonder what a stranger would want with someone. But, like I said, I mean no harm. Surely you can see that?-

"Perhaps, but no one crosses a place we are so easily."

-Ohh, that. Well, you did leave a door open.-

"A door huh? Well, I should be careful about that."

-Yes, but no all would walk here wants harm.-

"That's not why I'm worried..."

-Ohh? I see what you mean-

"Don't say it. Do not say that."

-Why not?-

"You do not know me!"

-But, so far, you seem like a kind one.-

"If you say so. But, why are you here still?"

-Well, let's say I am looking out for those in need. My recent travels have brought me to you, sir.-

"Well, your efforts are wasted. You have stepped on the wrong door."

-I believe not, otherwise, I would not be here.-

"You need to leave."

-Absolutely not! Like I said, you look like a good man and you look like you need someone at you side.-

"Then you are a fool for thinking like that."

-Am I? I have heard of you efforts for the lost ones.-

"Lies!"

-Oh really, have you not managed to save all of them? Or are you telling me someone else who looked just like you has been doing the rescues?-

Silence

-Just as I thought, you under praise yourself, that is why I am here.-

''Silence. Sound of a helmet being bucketed.''

-I am at your service, should you need me.-

"You would be in danger under my order, stranger."

-So be it then! You look like someone who could use a companion.-

"Fine then."

-Splendid.-

"You sound happy."

-But I am sir. You will appreciate my service under your orders. I will be here whenever you summon me.-

"You don't know what I do or where I go."

-So I will learn fast. You have nothing to worry about.-

"Your choice since I can't force you out."

-Indeed!-

Silence

"Your name!"

-My what?-

"I need your name! If a man is going to be my servant, then I need a name to call you properly."

-Already, you deceive yourself, pretending I am at the wrong door, but you are what I am searching for. Your care for little details is why I am here.-

"That's good and all, but I still need your name."

-Unfortunately, a name is not someone I am lucky to have.-

"How so?"

-It's...it's a long story.-

"No good! I need a name to call you right."

-How about Servant?-

"Servant? No, that's a slave name."

-No worries good sir-

"Do NOT call me that!"

Grumble around the area

-Very well then, but I do offer my services as a servant to you. Servant seems like a good name for me.-

"I cannot..."

-But it's fine. I know you don't ever abuse things like that, so it's practical.-

"So be it then, Servant."

-Joy! We can now begin to work together.-

Silence

"Come here a bit."

Footsteps

-Yes?-

"Give me your hand."

-Immediately!-

''Sounds humming"

-What is that?-

"If you are to be my Servant, then you need to access this place at will."

-Thank you sir.-

"I don't need thanks."

-But, you do sir!-

"If you say so."

-I will rest if you do not mind.-

"My domain lies further."

-I see, I will prepare myself for when you need me in the material plane.-

"If you say so..."
