Revelation

Clearly shocked by the turn of events that seemed so alien to him, Rain stood still for a second processing why exactly he had just read. Then, apparently deciding not to be too curious he put his head back to his side as the watch turned off.

He walked slowly toward the door that the guard seemingly was ordered to protect with its life. 'What a poor existence.' He thought to himself. In all truths it was in fact a pitiful existence. The creature was sent here just for the purpose of guarding this one door and hadn't been doing anything else since the day it was born.

Rain thought that if he had to live like that, he would have given up long ago. But alas, what made the existence of the creature so pitiful was that it couldn't give up. That was because giving up was against what it had been created to do.

So with these thoughts in his head, Rain turned back one more time and hesitated as he looked with a newfound sense for the creature. The one who had died by his hands in such a brutal way, yet it was probably the best thing that ever happened to it. A pinch of existence and excitement before washing away all the blood on its sword and making its way far away from the duty that kept it in this pitiful realm. It was called Purgatory after all.

The doors to the room opened slowly, as if they had been shut for thousands of years and had become so weathered they did not properly work any longer. There was a long hallway inside the room. This long hallway did not seem that interesting at first glance, but something immediately shifted Rain's perspective of it. It made him weary of the darkness at the end.

The truth is, the hallway was long, extremely long. Long enough that a room that was standing alone in the middle of a temple could absolutely not fit the tunnel inside of it.

This place was bigger on the inside than the outside. Much bigger.

As soon as Rain stepped past the stronghold of the doors, a light lit up. A pedestal of clear glass that seemed to be of extremely pure quality and did not quite look like the glass the temple was made of. It was diamond. The whole pedestal was one big diamond. And there was a book sitting in top of it.

Taking a deep breath, Rain spoke softly as if hoping someone would hear him, which of course nobody did.

"This looks like fun. Oh well, I should go shouldn't I?"
