The Archive Page

A Story by Dimension

A short introduction to my creation; the Archive...

He ran and ran down the corridor; his chaser would not surrender until he was dead, he was getting tired but he couldn’t stop. He eventually came across a door, it was huge and golden, typical of the massive temple he was changed into.

Inside, he found a pedestal with a single piece of paper, on it were the words ‘Immortal via Emotions’. His mind was so focused on the killer he didn’t really pay attention to it. He heard the door open and in came the man in the black robe that covered his whole body. He approached with his black sword in hand, the boy leaned against the pedestal and suddenly felt something strange, like something being injected inside him. The next thing he knew, he was stabbed right in the heart by the robed man.

“How I hate humans” said the man in a demonic echoic voice. But as he walked away, he realised the boy was still standing. He stood there, looking at him with a plain look.

“Pitiful existence” said the boy and rush punched the man, he flew right through the corridor and out the temple.

“Interesting” said a voice, in the shadows was a man in black armour.

“You are?” asked the boy.

“My name doesn’t concern you” said the man “But that page does”. The boy then saw the page was gone.

“Where is it?” he asked.

“Inside you” said the man “It was absorbed by you when you leaned against, it gave you immortality, in exchange for your emotions”. The boy held his chest and then, the page appeared in his hand and he felt normal again.

“You are now contracted by that page” said the man leaving the temple “But one day, I’ll obtain all the pages of the Archive”. The boy put the page in the pocket and walked out.
