  1. The Aspiring Archivist
    As soon as she moved, the old man turned and looked right at her. As she flew at him, the intricate details on his metal cane lit up bright white, and she found herself unable to touch him. It was like he was surrounded by an invisible shell right beyond his skin. Wherever she touched it, the barrier crackled and gave off glowing sparks. The old man pursed his lips, looking disappointed. "That was a bad choice."
  2. The Aspiring Archivist
    He didn't seem bothered by the threat. "I raised them. I know them. Tell me, how do you believe you are are in the right?"
  3. The Aspiring Archivist
    "I gave you an explanation. But I don't have to explain every detail of our lives to you. I am their guardian. You have no right to keep them from me."
  4. The Aspiring Archivist
    "I don't owe you an explanation. I will tell you that I am their guardian, and they are very troubled. They suffer delusions and are a danger to themself. They got away from me, and it is important I find them." He seemed sincere enough, though he spoke it all more like a command than an explanation, his slightly raspy voice carrying well in the cave despite him not speaking too loudly.
  5. The Aspiring Archivist
    "You know nothing about me, or them."
  6. The Aspiring Archivist
    "So you think you know better than I do how to take care of them?" He didn't look angry, and he didn't raise his voice, but he did sound very firm.
  7. The Aspiring Archivist
    He narrowed his eyes at 209845. "Did they ask for your protection? I am their guardian. And I can hardly think you have their best interests in mind, given the intentions of your kind on this world."
  8. The Aspiring Archivist
    "I'm the guardian of a certain lost individual. I imagine you've met them, too. They often call themself Seventeen."
  9. The Aspiring Archivist
    "The woman fell unconscious. The invisible one stayed with her."
  10. The Aspiring Archivist
    17 looked around the room uncomfortably.
  11. The Aspiring Archivist
  12. The Aspiring Archivist
    He seemed unbothered. "I wouldn't do that. You overestimate your strength."
  13. The Aspiring Archivist
    "Forgive me if I don't believe you."
  14. The Aspiring Archivist
    "But they're in the direction you're going."
  15. The Aspiring Archivist
    "To find my missing ward."
  16. The Aspiring Archivist
    "I see," he murmured, though he said it like he saw some meaning to what they said other than what they told him. He continued to walk along with them, cane scraping the tunnel floor with each step.
  17. The Aspiring Archivist
    "You don't look like one."
  18. The Aspiring Archivist
    "I'm not doing anything to her, young one." "Why is that?"
  19. The Aspiring Archivist
    "Is that so?" He took a longer look at her, examining her closely with narrowed eyes.
  20. The Aspiring Archivist
    "Mortals? You are mortal." He seemed confident enough in that.
  21. The Aspiring Archivist
    "Normally one would assume that I meant they have no living or present parents." He seemed slightly amused by her agitation.
  22. The Aspiring Archivist
    "You asked how they came into being if they don't have parents."
  23. The Aspiring Archivist
    "They were. And I don't understand why that's a question you would need to ask me."
  24. The Aspiring Archivist
    "The closest they have still living."
  25. The Aspiring Archivist
    He paused very briefly. "I didn't say they don't have parents. Just that I am their caregiver. Are you suggesting that they weren't born?"
