Chapter 3 - Chapter 3

My eyelids felt heavy and my body didn't hurt as much as it was. I try to call out but mumbles can only her heard... 

"dont push yourself too much.. I'm still preparing your medicine" I hear an old mans voice, (Medicine?) 

 

I wanted to ask more but a sudden warm wind touched my head and i felt sleepy again.. (maybe later then) 

----------‐-----‐--———

He made Diane sit up while unconscious, he cant wake her up when his other hand is occupied.

He called for Dine to wake her up, "Open your eye's and drink this" She slowly opens her eyes and sees the old man clearly. 

She studied his features, (Wow.. am i in harry Potter??? His long white hair and beard, and wizard robe and hat.. his rinkled face.. is he over 500 years old?) 

He felt her stare disrespectfully and began to regret "drink it up" (this generations children are really ungrateful!) 

She took the bowl and drank the bitter medicine, she was about to thank her but he cut her off. 

"Listen child, I'll only let you live here for 2 year! And that's it, you will learn from me and follow my towers rules" He sternly state his conditions.

"You will not be sheltered free and educated free" 

He turns his back to her making himself look strict. "I am not that demanding just follow this rules" 

1. You will strictly follow the schedule of cleaning time and places.

2. Take very well care of the plants and scrolls.

3. No skipping lectures.

4. No going out of the border without a guide.

5. You will not look for me before the 2 years ends.

6. Don't come looking for me.

7. Don't use your power to commit evil.

8. Don't trust humans so easily 

9...

"What is rule number 9?" 

(Rule number 9. Remember me) But i will not say that out loud for my dignity!

The next few days he guided and taught her many things about the tower, and how she should take care of each rooms, plands and scrolls.

It was not hard for her to comprehend things, as she was a fast learner. (Not from her past life but her current ability) She was even surprised herself.

Days later she became more comfortable with the tower and, able to do things on her own. The only time she would go to his master is when lectures starts.

------------------------------

After a few days she can finnaly wander out the tower! She sees the same sky as to when she first arrived and that was night-time.

( I'm only allowed to a specific distance. I'm still not allowed to go outside the border, But who cares if i step out of there im dead by then!) 

(I remember just sitting by the rock infront of the swan few days ago, so did master brought me outside?)

I stroll by the lake side and admire the beautiful swans, they have different coloured jewelries between their eye's. 

One swan noticed my presence and caught me off guard when it suddenly talked 

"So in the end the master still adopted her" the purple jewelled swan talked. 

"Ofcourse he will! He's too kind, and probably too naive!" The black jewelled swan angrily flap its wings.

The white jewelled swan flew straight at me, and turned into a beautiful lady just inches away from me, making me stumble and fall from my butt!

She looked at me with cold eyes trying to figure me out, she then grabbed me by the hand and searching for something. 

"Could you please let go?" I tried to tell her but ignored me. 

"Stop that Lila!" The orange jewelled swan turns into human, and grabs rhe lady away from me.

(Lila..?) 

It didn't take long before we settled, and shared everything that happened, but not entirely EVERYTHING. Only till they saw me intrude their territory.

They're quite relief that nothing bad happened so far, and what was lila was searching for AKA white jewelled swan, (but her jewell looked silver to me..)

"Oh we completely forgot our introduction!" 

The orange girl exclaimed but the others didn't bother themselves, and went nack into the lake making it awkward.

The orange swan apologised on their stead, as there are things that they still haven't move on to.

(It did not bother me much)

"Well then my name is Erine! And the other are.."

White swan - lila

Black swan - Marlene

Dark Purple swan- viole

(I am bad at naming but not as bad as this.. who even named them?) My facial expressions gave out what i was thinking. 

"We were but a cute baby cygnet, that was why we we're named baby names instead" she replied while wondering off to old memories. 

I left her there as it was time for my next routine, (now thay i think about it, me and master did not introduce ourselves yet!) And pondering more to it he didn't pry further to my past. 

---------------

Days have passed and the tower have begun to look more like a proper tower.. not a storage room. It was a headache trying to find things but now that it's clean, I'm more comfortable doing my job.

That child, did not even took a month to clean it but two days, when she just arrived. Considering her condition, she even healed fast.

I've studied her blood and even went far, as to use my ancestors, thousand old dusty blood appraiser.

I couldn't believe my eye's when a new race is discovered! A Celestial race!

It's informationais lacked, other informations are not accessible. It only happens when, they're being protected from extinction. 

I locked myself with all the books about other race, religion and anything that could relate to that, but found nothing. 

This child is special and favoured by higher beings, she is destined to break realms and venture! She's not restricted by this realm.. 

I again locked myself to my library, (I want to prolong my life more.. I want to see her grow up and create her own history before she leaves!)

------------------------

Two months have passed and Diane hasn't seen her master at all, he's locked up again in the library! 

When she's about to leave infront of the door she heard it creaked open,and foul smell emerged from the door. 

"EEWWWWW!!!" She exaggerated and yelled, running away, but before she could her master caught her. 

"Clean it" de demands, and left her sight in a dash. (clean? Or you mean disinfect?) 

Ofcourse she didn't say it, (or shell be whopped) and proceeds to open the windows and clean. 

She then rushed outside to grasp fresh air, and exaggeratingly coughing. 

Erine came running to me and assisted me, she then gave me white flowers while laying me back down. (Erine.. are you mourning for me already?!)

"Those white flowers are the best with scents, Now that i remembered i forgot to give Geralds flowers!" (Gerald?)

She ran off someone and came back with more while flowers 

"place this to rooms he frequent, it'll help him calm the mind and refreshed the air around the room" I thanked her and took the flowers, before going back in the tower. 

(So master's name is Gerald-)
