Chapter 8
Part 1
It was still morning when Elric led me to my Room.
He said he prepared it while i was asleep.
Sleep was one thing he doesnt seem to need.
Maybe he even stayed up to prepare my room for me.
As he is a servant it was his job.
Not that it would matter to me even if he wasnt.
He led me up a circular stair way .
We left that staircase at the first plattform and there only was one door.
" Mylord , please place your hand on the door" did the old man tell me.
I looked at the door curiously and saw it didnt have a lever to pull on or a knob to turn.
I layed my hand with outstrechted palm onto the door and an almost inaudiable clicking sound came from the door as it slid open.
Inside was a small room about 6m long and 2 m wide with a shelv for shoes.
At the other end of the Room was another door but this one had a lever.
I took my shoes off as elric did the same.
Then he opened the other door after he closed the first and waved his hands which made it seem he invited me in.
Nonchalantly i stepped through the door and the scenery before me robbed me literally of the ability to speak.
Endored tiles made up the floor, they were made out of marble.
A Rich grey - blackish sofa where easily 10 people could take place on sat before a huge window display.
The Whole Glass front was 15 m long and showed a breathtaking scenery of a mountain range and its white tips .
The sun was just starting to rise so that even gave a warm feeling off.
On the left side of the room was a bar counter behind it almost limitless shelves filled with vrious bottles glasses and other utensils as well as a Kitchen with a huge Table where easily 15 people could take place on.
The Walls were aligned with various refined paintings and hanging carpets with pictures woven into them.
On the right wall where 3 more doors.
I stepped infront of the right door and pushed down the lever.
As the door silently swung open i could smell a strong fragrance of paste and ink.
It was a Library filled with easily a hundred shelves , per shelve at least 100 books.
" Son , this is my personal Library filled with every book i found interesting over my long life so take care of it." i heard the sound of my mother from my head.
Interesting, interesting indead.
I left the room again and turned to the middle door.
As i opened this one i was dumbfounded to the extreme.
White and Blackish-green tiles made up the floor and the walls.
5 Washingbasins a toilet and a 10 * 8 meter long bathtub could be seen there.
" That will take a lot of heated water to fill." did i state without thinking about it.
" That wont be a problem sire , do you see those 2 Metal like sticks at the wall and the big metal plate there? That is a mechanism which is induced by magic it lets water pass through it. But the metal plate is binded with a Spell of efreet heating the water before it reaches the tub."
That sure is convenient.
I left the room and Elric closed the door after he stepped outside.
I was eager so i directly went to the third door beyond it lay another room with 3 doors.
On one of these doors was a writing ive never seen before in my life so i pointed towards it as Elric came in through the door after me.
" That room is currently lets say *under construction* so nobody can enter yet."
Cant be helped then.
So i explored the door which lay opposite the door which we came through from.
A room with rech grey carpet came into view on the wall opposite of the door was a bed which easily was 5 m wide and 3 meters long.
A few shelves and wardrobes as well as simple washinbasin with another 2 Metalsticks and a metal plate was there.
I closed the door again after Elric left the room and stood before the third.
I gulped down some salvia and had a kind of eerie feeling in my guts when i touched the handle.
I pushed it down and stood in the door frame as the door swung open.
A City filled with orange light of the setting sun came into view.
Actually this city has been abonded a while ago.
Every house was layed in ruins sand pilled up everywhere and the plains around this city was also made out of sand.
" What is that?" did i ask elric as he was standing behind me.
" This is a atrifical dimension created with magic. This was your mothers idea and she connected this door with this Dimension. What you will do with it is your own choice. Sire this space is as far as the eyes can reach so it should be about 200 km across as well as wide."
" I see... . But for now i want something to eat."
" Certainly , sire i food has been prepared for you and it should have arrived while we were exploring these rooms."
Part 2
We went back to the living room.
A fire was burning in the fireplace and the small sounds of crackling wood could be heard.
At the table between the sofa which was shaped like an *U* were alot of plates with all kinds of different food set up.
I sat down in the middle of th sofa and Elric handed me a already filled plate with alot of meat and potatos as well as a knife and a fork.
As i was starting to dig into the food Elric moved across the room and gave fetched a Goblet filled with a Golden liquid.
Something which i remembered clearly *MET* a from honeybrewed Alcohol which was very sweet and burned only a little bit as it was sliding down ones throat.
I took the Goblet from him and sipped a little bit off it.
Exactly like i remebered the taste.
The tense body which i havent even realised i had instantly loosend up.
I tossed the knife and fork away and as i was about to dig into the food with my hands Elric stopped me as he placed his hands on my arms.
" Sire , you should start and learn etikets on how to eat speak and manners." did elric coldly reply towards me.
" You should hold the knife and fork properly , no not like that like this."
He was explaining different rules to me and certain ways to behave while i was getting accustomed to this way of eating.
Part 3
After quite some time it was now 8 o clock as another Clock was set up in this room told me.
I have been learning manners and all kinds of different stuff for 2 1/2 hours now.
" Sire , you learn really fast you havent made any mistakes for the last hour , but always remember this which i thaught you. It will greatly help you to achieve the respect of the others. did Elric tell me almost passionetly.
For him passionetly at least , he didnt show much emotion in his facial features but his eyes had a certain glint of fire in them as he spoke.
I finished my meal a little while earlier.
Elric told me he would get some new clothes for me as i was heading towards the bath.
I pulled on the lever for the hot water and let the utmost hottest water inside of the bathtub while holding my hands beneath the running water to check its temperatur.
Still feels cold i should ask Elric about it later.
I undressed and went into the tub and scrubbed myself clean.
After i scrubbed myself clean and half an hour soaking i went outside of the tub and rubbed myself with a clean bathtowel.
As i finished this Elric came back into the Bathroom with new clothes.
He helped me to get into the clothes , not that i needed help but he just started dressing me up.
Then i went infront of the big mirror.
I had my Blond redish hair combed away from my forehead and the overlapped with the hair ontop of my head.
I wore a Green sliken shirt with a V formed shape at my neck , this V part was connected through a thread of Silk.
Also some Black wollen pants.
A Black belt was strapped over the shirt at my waist levelit hung there loosely and on the left side it was about 15 cm higher than on the right side.
I also wore a pair of Black leather boots which almost reached my knee caps.
The 2 Metal balls which were portruding out of my left earlob felt out of place but at the same time just right.
Overall i looked like a bandit prince and smiled at this thought into the mirror.
I recognized this smile the same as Darkre... my mothers smile.
" Son dont tell anyone that i am your Mother just tell them you lost every memory you once had. Elric seems to know what you really are . With this have fun on your first day of school!" did i hear my mother saying inside of my head.
" Sire? You look troubled?" did i hear Elrics rather suprised voice.
" It is nothing."
" Very well , but now sire it is almost 9 oclock your Classes will start soon."
Part 4
Elric led me along a long hallway with many different doors.
It was almost 9.15 which was the time Classes would begin.
Elric told me along the way a few things about this Facility and the habits of school but i would find these out soon enough as the school progressed.
One important thing he told me was though , i was starting classes late.
The classes normally started around March.
It was June though now.
To be precise Friday June 15.
On the first of July a feast would be held, but for what that feast was i couldnt get out of him.
More like i gave up after he said i will know when i have to know.
It sure seems to be a hobby around here not to tell anybody what the heck is going on.
We stopped infront of a Door which had letters on the door.
1-a was written there.
Elric knocked and stepped a few steps back after he knocked.
After a few seconds a Women about 25 Winters of age came out of the door wearing Green Robes.
" Yes > Dragulav <?" was the thing she said towards Elric while glancing shortly at me.
" Madam Rose , this is a new Student of yours which as of this moment will be parttaking in your classes." did Elric tell her.
" Already?" did the Women Rose almost cry out with a suprised look on her face.
" Yes it seems this one is rather impatient and he woke up after a few hours." did Elric tell her in a monotounus voice.
I felt this as an Insult of some kind so i shot a devestating glance towards Elric.
He seemed to shiver when my gace meet his eyes.
The Teacher Rose signaled me with her hands to follow her so i stepped behind her thorugh the door.
I found myself in a Forest.
It was filled with numerous Trees but Rose led the way clearyly forward.
After we walked for 20 m a clearing came into view.
On this clearing which was about 50 meters across without a single tree, there were Stone steps and Stone tables aligned.
Those tables were aligned in a half circle around a desk which stood in the middle and a Blackboard like thing made of clear glass.
The second line of tables started behind the first but it was clearly higher.
The bottom of the second line started at the level where the first tables ended.
The third was even higher and so on.
I could see about 5 levels of tables with each 6 tables in a line.
Those different level of Lines were connected by steps cut right out of the same Stones which made up the desks and chairs.
I counted a total of 27 other people in this forest besides me and the Teacher.
Following the Teacher i approched the middle desk as Rose declared :
" This is our new Student !" did rose proudly declare while showing with her hands towards me.
