141 The Principal (1/2)

At the far end inside Twilight Academy's central building was the office of rank 3 magus Principal Duvall. His office was like a living fantasy, books flew off their shelves and rearranged themselves in a neat order, magic seals flew around the room creating flashes of dazzling light that shimmered off the large waterfall he had in the back. A light sprinkle of morning dew could be found on all the vibrant plants the water nourished.

It was a magical sigh just as magical as the wizard who floated on top of a small grass hill in the middle of his room. Duvall's dark blue robes fluttered gently as if they were billowing in the wind. It was a small display in his skills in enchanting items for all to see.

Duvall appeared to be somewhat old, around the age of 40-45. He had a somewhat wrinkly face with a small mole on the right side, a noticeable amount of bags under his eyes, brown hair, and a short beard. He had a stern expression on his face even while he was studying which matched his Demeanor.

As Duvall was looking through various books a knock came from his door. After nocking, a little green goblin stepped inside the room. That goblin though wasn't normal it was a goblin special breed and genetically modified by mages. Natural goblins are typical quite ugly but the genetically modified ones aren't. The goblin that walked in was quite small, but also very cute. She had short dark hair, near flawless green skin, large eyes that made her look more adorable when she looked at you, and sharp pointy ears that were currently pointed downwards in the presence of her master. She wore a typical maids outfit and had a submissive demeanor about her.

Though she was a slave it is important to know that people on Theotera can't be enslaved. Theotera typically only enslave species from other worlds because it is Illegal to enslave any Theotera denizen that isn't a mindless beast. The only way around that law is to acquire that persons will fragment. Will fragments allow people to control whether a person lives or dies they also allow the holder to decide where that person can go after death. The method to perform such a thing is not widely spread and even those with great power and influence have almost no chance of acquiring the method to do so. That's because The Pantheon Of Valdora acquired all known methods spread throughout the world and sealed it away.

So, though the goblin is intelligent and a denizen of Theotera she has no real rights as a person because she lost her will fragment.

As the goblin stepped in she bowed to Duvall and said to him in a soft and intimidated voice, ”Master I know I have no right to disturb you but it has already been an hour since the war meeting started didn't you have plans to go?”.

The goblin's soft voice was gentle to the ears and pleasant to listen to but her nice voice didn't have any effect on Duvall's attitude.

Sissy felt ashamed that she disturbed her master during something important so much that she started punishing herself for her mistake.

”Stupid Sissy, bad Sissy, how could you be so forgetful, master doesn't need you to remind him”.

Sissy slapped and punched herself repeatedly hard has punishment. She even banged her head against a nearby bookshelf making it wobble around a bit after every hit.

”That's enough of that sissy your making to much noise”.

Duvall wasn't particularly kind to Sissy but her wasn't mean to her either. It was a strange in between where he taught her how to punish herself when she felt as though she went out of line. That method of his had obvious effects on her personality because she's always timid and insecure about everything which makes her punish herself all the time for every little thing.

She had a sad face after Duvall told her to be quite her ears drooped down even more while her puppy dog eyes started to tear up.

”How could you foolish Sissy your master already said he was in the middle of something important”.

That realization only made her beat herself even harder than before. She grabbed a thick book off the shelf and started slamming it over her head. Duvall didn't stop her he had seen her do that for many years and was use to it. But it did make him wonder if he had possibly gone wrong somewhere when training her? Duvall thought for a moment then quickly realized that it was possibly already too late to change her. Though it's not like he minded it anyway, he had become too accustomed to her personality that if it were to suddenly change he would feel as though the world was crumbling around him.

As Sissy beat herself senseless with a book a sudden knock came from the door. That nock made Sissy come to her senses and do her job like a proper maid (slave). After she exited the room to have a short conversation with the person outside she returned to inform her master of who it was.

”Master Professor Loodwell is her to see you”.

”About what?”.

”The death of his student”

”Uhh ... so, it's going to be one of those talks”.

Duvall didn't want to go through this conversation, but he knew that he had no choice, so he might as well get it over with.
