“No one is truly bound by anyone but themselves.”

His words echoed in the fortress that was her mind long after he had uttered them and they left her rattled - the only thing Shoxan craved more than the air around them was to be free of her allegiance to the castle and her position within it. Though she loved her family to no ends, she needed more out of the world they lived in, it was a necessity for her to venture out and explore things she hadn’t, to taste things and smell things foreign to her tongue, and nose. How could she possibly shackle herself? What was she so afraid of that she couldn’t simply disturb the restraints around her and travel freely like the man next to her whose magic was almost suffocating, though, in the small time, she had forced herself to become accustomed to it.

“That would be easy for one like you,” her green eyes meet his, “I have a family here. . . a mother and father who’d be heartbroken if I left and an obligation to the people of this town, as the only heir. In my father's demise, hopefully long from now, I would have to take his position on the throne and become Regent Queen. You see,” there’s a tender sadness in her voice as she faces the many obstacles keeping her from just vanishing, “you and I, we’re different.”

And they were. Hypothetically, if she did decide to leave this  place once and for all, where would she get her means of transport? To go back to the stable unnoticed would be close to impossible, with all the guards on patrol and how far would she even get in that time slot before the King realises his daughter had once more disappeared into the woods, the unforbidden locale for the royalty of the town? With a somber sigh, she shrugs her shoulders, fiddling with the book in her lap in a pitiful attempt to distract herself from the depressing thoughts. This man, who in comparison to her, was lucky in so many ways brought envy to course through her veins.

“I wish I were like you, to be able to up and leave, come and go.”

But, she couldn’t.

She was a princess.

It simply wasn’t in the cards.

He listened intently to every word that fell from the woman’s lips, though a few here and there made little sense to him. He did manage to determine the meaning of a couple of them via context clues, such as kingdom. Through her motions he reached the conclusion that the word kingdom referred to an area that belonged to someone. The other two he figured out throughout the conversation were king and queen, which he believed to be titles similar to princess though apparently a better version.

He sat silent for a bit, trying to process the information he had been given thus far. He had only been on this planet for a few moments and already he had discovered a plethora of things to record. While many may have been discouraged by this, given that it was only one location on the planet, and only the first planet that had been visited, it in fact brought a large smile to The Recorder’s face. To him it meant that he would be able to remain busy for an incredibly long time span and continue to learn for just as long.

These thoughts were not allowed to last long however, for his attention was brought back to the present with Shoxan mentioning how the duo was bound by outside entities. This caused a confused expression to appear on his face, which was accentuated by his head tilting to the side. He knew the word, and knew enough about context that she was not referring to being literally chained but rather forced into a set of circumstances by an outside force. What he did not understand was how she perceived him of being tied to one path. 

“I think you are misunderstanding my position Shoxan. He is no longer part of this reality and is incapable of forcing anything upon me. He gave me a purpose and a means of fulfilling it, however it is completely up to me how long I pursue it. I could end up like Him and end up abandoning my path entirely, or I could continue doing it but with changes. The only chains that are placed on me are those of my own design. For the time I have decided to stick strictly to what was lain out before me, because I do not know anyway to improve it nor what other path I could follow.”

Conversations that he used to have with Him began to return as he spoke, and remembering one particular bit of wisdom he leaned forward a bit to close the distance between himself and Shoxan. “He had a saying, the only one he would repeat, no one is truly bound by anyone but themselves. They can always choose to change the course they are on, but many do not in fear of the unknown.”

She noticed it was no longer a requirement for the book to be in his grasp, even as she corrected his other two entries, assuming it happened on its own will, wherever it had vanished to. Extraordinary. This man knew the English language, he understood her but had problems with the concept of certain words, and evidently, hadn’t been exposed to certain things - water, trees, her list was short for the time being and if this wasn’t their last encounter, the woman was sure it would grow.

“You don’t know what Princess means.”

It wasn’t a question, her statement was a weak attempt to wrap her head around the situation for it seemed he wasn’t the only one being fed new information. Granted, the things she were being fed were hard for her brain to swallow and it appeared regurgitation in the form of quashing it all would happen when they part. She wouldn’t accept all of this, surely? Though ultimately, her silent debating proved she was swayed already, by this strange man.

“In Kingdoms,” she begins, her hand waving over their current canvas, “such as this one, there are Kings, and Queens who rule. They decide the fate of the land and the fate of the people under their reign. The King's and Queen’s daughters and sons are princesses and princes.”

She watches as the book reappears, shaking her head when he apologizes for it being uncomfortable.

“No, no,” she argues, “it doesn’t upset me. I’m rather intrigued. Not just about the book, but you.”

The emphasis on the you seemed appropriate. The Recorder; this man was seemingly created to document everything he came across and perceived as strange but wasn’t such a life meaningless? Not to mention, his lack of temperament was somewhat disturbing too.

“It seems you are no freer than I am. You’re shackled by Him, and I, by the castle. . .”


And here she thought, she could live vicariously through him, in the little time they had together. To understand what it was, to be truly free.

With each interruption provided by the other being his book automatically updated the information accordingly. In this manner it was able to record everything that had been said, regardless from the source, making it so he did not have to bring the book back after he had made it vanish. The Recorder was quite grateful towards Him for creating the book in the way that He had, it was really a brilliant piece of technology. And it was the last bit of magic performed by Him, at least to The Recorder’s knowledge, before He left this reality. If he ever ran into Him again he would have make sure to properly thank Him. The Recorder shook his head for a moment, bringing himself back to reality.

“Shoxan.” He paused for a moment as the unfamiliar name rolled from his tongue. “I like it. It is a smooth name, and elegant. I must ask though what exactly does your title mean?” He cocked his head to the side at this question, prepared to memorize the answer so that he can record it later on in his book.

His attention shifted away from his own question when the young woman, as she had indicated she was in fact female, seemed to become shocked at the disappearance of his book. At her words his lips slipped into a frown, before he held out his hand and made the book reappear. The action was so natural to him that he never considered the fact that it could come off as strange and potentially upsetting to other beings. He thought for a moment, wondering what he could do with it, before he decided that he didn’t care too much about how others would perceive the action and let it fade from view once again.

“I am sorry if that makes you uncomfortable, but at the moment it is the only means I have of transporting it with me. As for your second question I am unsure how to properly answer that. I am a Keeper, which likely won’t mean much to you, beyond that I hold the title of The Recorder. Beyond that I don’t know how to better describe what I am.” His voice faded out for a time, his eyebrows furrowed together as he is drawn into his thoughts. His first encounter with another sentient being and he was already at a loss for words. He had not anticipated such questions, and he had not been given the answers to them by Him.

Her next question however was one that he knew the answer to, and was grateful she asked it as it took him out of his own self evaluation. “He is the one who brought me into existence. He is the Creator. Sadly He is no longer within this reality, else I would call upon him to ask for a better way to answer your previous question.”

The way his face was painted with such a brilliant -almost amusing- veil of concentration, one would assume he didn’t know or had even come across water before. The woman peeked up at him, observing his nature, his indifference to her presence and the entries, his words seemingly appearing at their own will on the page. When he finishes the entry, she interrupts him, for a short moment “this liquid is referred to as water,” before letting him continue with his next entry, both in complete awe and delight that people like this man existed. Has he lived under a rock all these years? He seemed old enough to know these things but his actions and words suggested otherwise.

She didn’t know she would be the object of his new entry, laughing as he finishes, before tilting her head to the side, a gleam of hilarity reflected in her emerald gaze.

“Name of life form,” she copies, “Shoxan but you can call me Sho. Title of life form,” she stifles a giggle, trying to keep her composure, “princess. Species, human. Female, definitely female.”

As the book simply vanishes, her eyes widen slightly. Shoxan had read about things like this but had obviously detached herself from the mere thought or possibility of mystical beings. They only appeared in books, so how was this man so willing to allow her passage into his world? This wasn’t a facade, that she was sure of, but maybe he’d help her dig closer to the surface so she can fully grasp what he is.

“Y’know. . . people would get pretty uncomfortable if they see your book vanishing, just like that, into thin air. Us mere mortal beings aren’t capable of such things. Which begs the question. . . what exactly are you?"

Her confusion blooms like wild fire. If mythical beings existed, all the villains and monsters she seemed to relate to in books were real but all her life, she had been told differently. Bringing her focus back to him before her mind goes into oblivion, she asks yet another question, desperate to know more. Shoxan didn’t seem intimidated even when introduced to a different dimension, one she wasn’t familiar with.

“And who is this ‘he’ you speak of?”

The book in her lap might be of more use to him than it was to her, and she smiles gently as the thought crosses her mind, mentally making a note to give it to him before they part ways.

He lifted his gaze from his own reflection as he heard the voice of another life form, though higher pitched than his own. At her words his head cocked to the side slightly, before he began speaking to the book. “Edit entry, The Recorder. Physical properties, eye color is green with specks of brown turns orangish when hit by sunlight. End edit.” His eyes lingered on the new entity sitting just across from him, long enough that for a moment it seemed like he would address them. However this is proven false as he shifted his focus back to the liquid that separated them.

Unlike the first time he looked into it he completely ignored his reflection and instead examined the liquid itself, noting the ripples that appeared following the other life form placing its feet into it. . “New entry. Name of object, currently unknown. Physical properties, it is a blue-green in color though this may be due to the reflection of the blue that is currently blocking out the stars, it is a liquid or a liquid like solid due to the ripples that occur when something is placed within it. Special qualities, it is highly reflective, it appears to contribute to living organisms as there is plant life below the surface (Side note: Plant life beneath is too far to make a report of, will have to find a way to circumvent this at a later time). End entry.”

The Recorder straightened his back, he had inadvertently bent over in an attempt to better see the plants that grew beneath the liquid, and turned his eyes back to the other being. Without taking a step he appeared on her left, just a foot away, gazing down at her. “New entry. Name of life form, currently unknown. Title of life form, currently unknown. Type of life form, appears to be carbon based. Species, unknown. Physical properties, tan skin tone, dark brown almost black hair ending at the base of her back, shorter than myself, build is difficult to determine due to clothing covering her body, eyes are an interesting shade of green. Extra note, looks similar to Him and myself though appears to have softer and more elegant skin, I believe this life form is female. End entry.”:

As soon as he finished speaking the book vanished from his grasp. He stared down at her in curiosity for another moment before bending down to bring himself closer to her seated height. “You are a strange one. He told me that there would be sentient life on this planet, but I didn’t think it would look like Him, but you do.”

It was another mundane week in the castle.

Shoxan had prepared for the day, slipping into a black striped dress, and pulling a cardigan over her shoulders. She could hear the guards on patrol outside her door, laughing huskily and chugging down drinks. Probably wine. Her hair hung over her shoulders, long, stopping just at the small of her back and she held her book tightly, the tips of her fingers becoming blanch.

As she reaches her window, she pushes it open quietly, not wanting to alert the guards. The girl got in trouble for leaving the castle every time, yet she didn’t learn her lesson. She was not a caged bird and refused to abide by rules that kept her constricted. Constricted from a world of wonder, of birds, and animals. Of rivers and evergreen. She refused to give up the solace the outdoor provided for another day of forced dinners, men laughing like horses and women fluttering their pretty lashes for their attention.

She makes her way down the ladder on the wall, covered in thorns and roses, each stinging her skin and drawing blood, but she was careless for that. It would all be worth it.

Since birth, she felt there was a power within her, an unnatural force but she hadn’t spoken of it to anyone - it was a secret that burdened her to no end. On cold, dark nights it haunted her and even now as she reached the ground, the dirt instantly tainting her naked feet, the conspiracies flew around her mind and kept her somewhat preoccupied. She makes her way out of the secret passageway, leading her out of the sturdy walls of the prison she was born into and to the beauty of the outdoors.

For the last few years, there was only one place she visited. The creek, in the heart of the forest.

She opens her book and begins to read where she had left off last and before long, the voice of a man, seemingly writing a diary entry interrupts her hearing. Her brows perk up, as she moves through the opening, standing behind him and listening, in complete awe, to his entry.

“The Recorder,” she muses, holding the book to her chest now and moving so she’s standing directly opposite him, “your eyes are green. With little specks of brown and a warm orange, when the sun hits them.”

When she’s done, she takes a seat on the ground, dipping her bare feet into the pool, enjoying how cold the water is against her skin. The sun is high up in the sky, and the brunette decides it would be a marvelous day today. And with that, she places the book she’s holding in her lap, opening it up again, to resume her reading.

"I believe this is the planet that He told me to visit first, though I have no idea why. I would say that it must have importance to Him, but with the way his mind works he could have just picked it at random. It would be very much like Him to do so, make me overthink his actions just for the fun of it." The voice appeared before the person who spoke did, though it was a subtle distinction due to the fact that he had continued speaking without pause as his body manifested in a clearing. There had been no theatrics or fanfare to his arrival, one moment the area was vastly empty and in the next he was there. He was dressed just as simply as his entrance had been, a plain white shirt covered his torso and a simple pair of blue jeans hid his lower half from view. The only slightly odd bit of his apparel was the fact that he wore no shoes.

As his voice fell silent he took a moment to take in his surroundings, spinning in a slow circle. For the most part the area was dominated by plant life forms of gargantuan size, from his viewpoint they appeared to have a rough coating, mostly brown and gray in coloration, with what appeared to be smaller versions of themselves sprouting from them in random locations though they all started several feet from the base of the main plant. Attached to the extensions of the plant were even more objects, those these ones appeared to be smooth and had a green color to them. Directly in the center of the clearing resided a pool of currently unknown liquid.

He quickly decided that the pool was the thing that deserved his attention first he appeared next to it, once more teleporting in a simple fashion. He was caught off guard when he looked down into it and discovered a reflection of himself looking back. The surprise faded rapidly though, and as soon as it was fully dissipated he reached out with an open hand directly in front of him. Instantly a book appeared within his grasp, already opened to the first page. He began to speak aloud, and as he did the words appeared on the page.

"First entry. Name of life form, currently unknown. Title of life form, The Recorder. Type of life form, currently unknown. Species, Keeper. Physical properties, tan skin tone, long light brown or dark blonde hair, of average height and weight, lean muscular build, eye color is difficult to determine but likely a dark green or brown. Extra note, this is me. Further information to be added at a later time. End entry."
