Short Stories - Exiled Jack (+more)

Chains of Darkness - Steel (1/6)

Though the world has different uses for written paper, they are the currency in this realm. Strange as it may be, each prison has its own rules - and this place is a prison for sure.

At first, I found myself alone in the strange circular chamber. The Archive Keeper (which does not look like a human being) looked down at me, babbling some nonsense (that I didn’t even try to understand) and left. After a few days other prisoners appeared (literally) and shortly after the savior came - old man, dragged us out of the chamber in a hurry.

Exhausted, I stared at this beautifully ornate steel weapon when the old man greeted me with a strong slap to the face and explained our situation: The gods are furious and we are right in the middle of their battle.

I didn’t go with them, I heard a conversation that someone had gone looking for an exit in the darkest part of the underworld. I only ‘borrowed’ the old man’s sword and followed this trail.

Underworld, I am coming!
