Just a little something that I wrote for the wordsmith au

———————————————————————

⊣⚍リᔑ|| POV:

How long ago was it? Definitely a few hundred years by now. The day that he became The Wordsmith was definitely an interesting day for mankind. You'd be surprised to find out that he wasn't always a revered entity like he is today.

He once used to be just a normal human being, no magic, no long life, just a normal librarian in his local village. But of corse everyone has their time and believe it or not The Wordsmith was supposed to have his many years ago. But something happened, something that no one could've predicted. You see The Wordsmith was meant to die one night while asleep so the God of Death would come and take his soul without any hesitation. But as you probably know, The Wordsmith is a stubborn creature and stayed awake writing that night despite everything within him saying otherwise. It was really confusing for both of them to be seeing each other like this, but The Wordsmith not wanting to die so soon decided to find a way to convince death to keep him alive for just a little longer.

He decided to strike up a conversation with death and they actually got along pretty well, but little did Death know, this was a trap set up by The Wordsmith in order to find a way to make a deal with death so that he can continue living for a few more years. After what felt like hours of conversation (because it was) The Wordsmith decided to strike up a deal with death that will allow him to continue living for another fifty years, he also twisted his words in a way that would make it so he doesn't have to give anything in return to death for his end of the deal besides his soul once he eventually dies. They both went through with the deal and Joe was gifted with a longer life then he previously had.

Now despite what it looks like everything that Joe did was within magical law, so after Death brought this up with us we had no way to punish him since he didn't really do anything that we can punish him for. Even though The Wordsmith got what he wanted out of death he had the sudden idea to get even more then that. He decided to quit his job at the library and went off adventuring across the world looking for deities and magic users that can increase his lifespan for longer than fifty years. To this day it is still unknown why he decided to peruse a longer life, maybe he just had a sudden adrenaline rush from his near death experience.

Fifty years later once death came to take his soul away he found that he couldn't due to the other deals that Joe made on his travels and decided to admit defeat to The Wordsmith. This is when he started to be called The Wordsmith within the magical community due to his ability to twist his words in order to get his way when making deals.

The Wordsmith is now currently inhabiting a server named "Hermitcraft" where many different magic users already reside, we believe that something important will happen on this server eventually, but of corse only time will tell.
