Ariuz
The light shining bright through my half open eyes. I step out of bed, and look to my right. My date from last sprouted all the bed. she stirs on her sleep for a minute before she is wide awake and give me a smile. I walk to my closet and grab my sweatpants. walking back to the bed.. I give her my world class smirk and tell her to get dressed. Disappointed,
she gets up from the bed butt naked walks up to me. She reaches for my sweatpants and I grab her hand. I said get dressed, there is a gentleman waiting for in the living room. He will make sure you get home.
So how do I reach you she asks. You dont, i simply state. I turn my back towards her and all I hear is her cursing me to hell and than she slams the door. I dont know why women get so clingy, one should just have fun and leave. She is even lucky I entertained her.
I look out the window of my bedroom. My apartment seats on the 15th floor. I see the morning traffic down below. People rushing to work and others rushing to take their kids to school. I bet there are those sneaking out of a one night stand or some still drunk from last night's clubbing.
Sometimes I wish i was them and totally oblivious to so many evil things I see.
While deep in my thoughts, I hear a knock at my door... I sigh heavily, close my eyes and hope he goes away. But no... my trusted and punctual butler Jered is ever so efficient. Master Ariuz, he mutters. His tone of voice always smooth and respectful. I tell him to enter and he does. I'm facing the window and my back towards him.
Jered walks in and immediately begins to remind me of my destiny. You know she is out there and you need to find her, you will get weaker. This is something you cannot delay any further, he states.
With my back still towards him, I know but I'm not ready to meet whatever old sorceress I have to get my strength from.
Jered chuckles and says, what makes you think she is old? I turn to face him, with a smirk... oh I would be delighted if she was a young and hot little witch.
Jered shakes his head at me and continues. Yes, I'm sure you would be delighted, he smiles. And your guest left, not very happy though, he adds. I nod my head and continue my stare into the world below me.
Any luck with ring he asks. I run my hand through my hair and sigh. Not yet, I answer in short.
No money and technology can save you my boy... your destiny is sealed. Find the sorceress and the ring. You need the strength and the power from both.
This time, his words come from the man who raised me since I was ten, when my father died and not from my loyal butler.
Jered means the world to me... he became a father figure to me without asking for anything in return. Not once has he asked for millions that I inherited from my parents or touched the money I give him for his personal use besides his salary.
I love that old man but I hate it when his right because he is rarely wrong.
I look up at him, with worry in his eyes.
i walk towards him and put my hand on his shoulder, like I have done so many times throughout the years.
I hate it when you worry, the pill that the company managed to make has been working, it's been a month since my last episode. I will find the witch and the ring too. I try to reassure him. He gives me a loving look that he has always generously given me, everytime I needed him.
I own a technology company that focuses on eradicating world hunger and diseases. With an anatomy specialist, the company has managed to produce a pill that delays my body from deteriorating until I find the witch and the ring. The team that worked on the pill, know nothing about who I truly am, all they know is my body is shutting down without any explanation.
Jered is right about one thing though. Time is ticking. I need to find the witch and that will make it easier to locate the ring.
Jered, would you do me a favour and get Mario for me. I need an update. As per usual you are right. I need to find the witch.
I make my to the bathroom to take a shower and get my day started.
I notice my left leg is slowly getting weak.
I need to take my medication before it gets any weaker. I also dont need Jered worried for nothing.
