The totem was a piece of wood covered in runes and glyphs and it was intricately carved in the shape of a chalice. Sprouting from the rim of the chalice were four dragon claws equally spaced out, I stood up and walked over to it sitting on the mini couch. I sat down there and looked into the chalice, there was a depression into the chalices top with a crystal embedded inside it glowing softly. I tapped it and a light shone up from it creating an enthral image of the castle layout on each floor with tags on important places.
On the side a few places were tagged saying mess hall, training arena, garden, a viewing platform, the forge and the armoury. I dragged my finger across the image and it moved with my actions, I decided to check the tagged locations and a few floors. After a while of looking I stood up and left towards the scroll, pulling back the chair and sitting down. I drew the scroll towards me, eyeing it for a while before breaking the seal and unfurling it.
It broke open with a soft crack showcasing its contents, at the top was schedule written in big letters. It started at 7 in the morning with breakfast followed by weapon training lasting from 8 to 10, then it would be magic training till lunch at 12 which ends at 1 in the afternoon. From then magic training would continue until 5 all the way in between there are a few short breaks lasting 20 minutes. Then from 5 till dinner at 7 we are given a free period to do as we please. During this time we can go for additional training or come up with a design for our equipment or do what we want as the text under the schedule explained.
I pinned up the schedule on the center of the board where it was easy to see, sighing as I leaned back against the chair. I looked up to the board which said 1 in the afternoon I got up and checked through the numerous drawers and the wardrobe which consists of some clothing somewhat themed after the rooms.
I walked over to a door towards the back of the room, I pushed it open and behind it was the biggest bathroom I had ever seen. There was a big tub towards the back of the room, a door to the left side which probably led to the toilet. On the right there was a shelf made from a protruding section of the wall presenting me with a row of self care products. They were lined up like soldiers taking up positions along the wall presenting arms.
I randomly picked one up examining the label telling me what it was for and how to use it. After scanning through the rest of them they mostly consisted of bar soaps, bottled shampoo along with two buckets that were enchanted on the floor with hot and cold water in each one. I gave the bathroom a final look and left shutting the door behind me 'I could really get used to this' I thought to myself sitting down on the bed.
'Although what will happen to my father after he hears of this? He is already sad enough that he lost mother now he could potentially lose me too. Well… there's nothing I can do other than push to ensure his safety along with everyone else's.' I sigh flopping down onto the bed looking up to the dreamscape portrayed above the bed which was separate from the rest of the ceilings by curtains. It depicted a member of every race along with a few hybrids talking in a grassy meadow surrounded by tall trees. A memory of a time before The Fall, a hope, the yearning of a world that we want to return to, free from our prison that these walls and Voidborn give us.
