We talked for countless hours....
I had explained to him everything he needed to know and do....
"So I'm the keeper of this narrative, I should make this story entertaining for readers and make sure that nothing encroaches on the timeline.... yes, it's easy," he says with a mischievous smile as he plays with his coin.
I shook my head, amused.
Your power comes from the trust that readers place in you as an MC. You can't die as long as the story continues and the readers are satisfied
My character nodded and looked at you with a serene smile.
"This is the price to pay for having discovered the Truth... To be a main character," he says while playing with his play. This one fell to the floor, the blank page, and became the word "piece" that I am writing now.
So? What do you want to do first?
"I don't really know... Before I become a hero as you say, I think I'll finish my studies," he laughed, running his hand over his immaculate white hair.
I nodded quietly.
You can leave now, know now that you are no longer just a character.... You're way beyond, you're the first....
Was it a blessing? A curse? It depended on how he conceived it....
What does it feel like to be a god, to control part of the blank page?
"I don't feel privileged... I feel strangely good at this feeling, and you're the one who wants me to feel like this, I'm just your character after all" he says with a shrug.
"Even if I was opposed to this fate, it's because it was written by you, you direct everything" he said looking at me out of the corner of his eye with a serene smile.
So there is nothing more to add....
....
My character snapped his fingers....
And this desert world where we found ourselves took on the aesthetics of a 3-dimensional cube.
The white of the paper and the black of the ink merged in perfect harmony, giving a unique black and white animation...
I smiled as I walked away, like hundreds of pages turned at prodigious speed.....
"We'll see you Amira!" he smiled at me one last time...
Of course we'll see each other again, idiot...
You're my favorite character.....
This is where it all starts for you...
And I will be there, in every step of the destiny I have shaped for you....
And I hope you will also like, readers...
Because it's the story of how a fanfic character became more than a character....
He has become the hero of heroes...
He became X.....
As I regained consciousness in my office in real life, I glanced at this chapter 5....
I was happy to see that you enjoy X's adventures.
And as I was about to write chapter 6, the wise words of this writer came to mind:
"The artist should not be the judge of his characters and their words, but only an impartial witness"
Who said that?
I don't remember...
Do you know that?
To be continued...
