Chereads / The son of fire (tlok) / Chapter 2 - 02

Chapter 2 - 02

I step through the portal and am suddenly back at the guardians house and look up seeing a smile, I am glad to see that you past the first test. Most people pass but I still must congratulate you so before you move onto the next test would you like to eat some food with me? Well I could use a break so yea I guess I could. I follow the guardian into the dining room and find a small table placed between two sitting matts. Come now please sit while I grab the beverages. I wait for the guardian to come back and see him carrying a platter of cheese crackers and meat along with some sprite, the guardian sits down across from me and puts down the food and drinks.

As he sits down he looks me in the eyes and says so what did you think of your first test? Well it was deffineetly challenging but I managed to make it through and ended up back here. Hey now that i have answered on of you're questions do you think you will be able to answer one of mine? Well as long as it has nothing to do with the following test I think I will be able to answer your question to the best of my ability. Ok my question how did you end up here as the guardian of purgatory? Well it happened a long time ago and it's kind of hard to remember but from what I recall I was once a normal human who died and then got transported here as well, I had also met a guardian just as you have met me and I went through the tests but I only managed to pass two out of three. But luckily for me the old guardian was retiring and needed a replacement and since I had just got done with the tests and had to stay in purgatory anyway since I only pasts two so he decided to make me the new guardian of purgatory.

That's pretty much it, I just got lucky and was in the right place at the right time. Oh that really wasn't what I was expecting but thanks for telling me anyway oh also where did that old guardian go to for his retirement, ah good question he went to heaven as he had done his job long enough that he was qualified to go to heaven, as a matter of fact I myself shall be going there when I retire. When do you retire? Me oh I retire in about six thousand years give or take, each guardian only has to serve for ten thousand years before they retire so it's no that bad I mean it saved me from walking around here in purgatory as a lost soul for all eternity so not a bad deal not a bad deal at all. But anyways we have been here for a while and I think it's about time for your next test don't you think.
