Chapter 5: ~Nightmares.~ (1/2)
***Norfolk, Sarn-Valley***
It has been a few weeks since I started to take care of Sarn's affairs. The work on my new property is in progress and I took a room in one of the better hotels. To be exact, I booked the whole building to have my watchdogs nearby.
Another point on my list was the letter for Kane. I hope he will lend me a little of his expertise to get this village running faster. His family has good connections on top of that. Having connections is never bad. And if this place gets known to a lot of people it's even better.
There are quite a few things I want for this valley. But first I need money and power. Enough power to do whatever I want. The others shall scream and throw their sticks at me. As long as I can step over them it shouldn't concern me.
It's night and the bed is quite comfortable. Maybe I should take it with me when my new house is finished? I instructed them to build quite a large basement too. So it could take a while.
I need a place to conduct my experiments and start my research.
Of course the citizen were a little confused about the sudden change of government. The elders made quite an uproar. That wasn't helpful in the least. In the end I had them arrested for causing civil disturbances.
Well. I had expected that they wouldn't act smart and keep their mouths shut.
At least the people calmed down after a few days when it became clear that my arrival would bring new life to the city. The three former elders which I kept in their offices are doing acceptable work. It's becoming clear to the citizens that things will change for the better.
And I kept the secretary which is called Sarah too. She is such a shy, little thing. Just right to vent my frustations by teasing her. The guards frighten her and she is sneaking around like a shadow all the time. If you surprise her from behind she jumps half a meter into the air.
Anyway... I will take a nice nap now. The Icewolfs are guarding the inn, so I should be safe.

The reformatory doesn't allow free time. I learn, I train, I eat, I sleep. An endless circle. When will it end? Why am I here? More than five years. I just know my room and the classes. Why did my parents bring me here? Did I do something wrong?
No, I am barely five years old! There is nothing I could have done at that age! They just don't care about their children.
I learn, I train, I eat, I sleep.

It's dark. It's a dark room and my father is hitting me with a metal rod. I am not fast enough in breaking the mind of the prisoner. I don't know the man, but his resistance is quite strong. Every time I fail to draw out information my father hits me with enough force to break something.
“The mind has to be stronger than the flesh!”
He screams and heals me with healing magic. Then the procedure starts anew and I fail again. My mind feels muddy and I am tired. It is impossible to win a duel of the mind while being so tired.
But father has no mercy. It goes on and on and on.....

“Please go out with me!” I hand her the flowers and a letter. She has beautiful black hair and metal blue eyes. Ever since we started to take the same classes, my eyes were locked on her.
So I made up my resolve and confessed. I couldn't bear it any more.
She smiles at me with her beautiful lips and takes the flowers from me. Then I get kicked with a swift motion and two fingers stab for my eyes.
I scream while I feel hands on me and the world starts to spin. She threw me?
*Crush!*
Was that the window? THIS IS THE SECOND FLOOR!

It's the final exam for this year. This is important to keep my studentship! My belly aches while sweat runs down my forehead. Oh, the pain. Someone cursed me with stomach-aches! And quite strong ones at that!
But I can't run for the toilet or the infirmary. If I blow this test I will be sent back home! That can't happen! Never!
I start to write while pearls of sweat drop on my sheet of paper. Then I hear a snicker which draws my attention. A few rows to the left is a girl with black hair. She is laughing while looking at me.
The bitch cursed me!
