Chapter 92 - Eighty-Eight (2/2)

And if the rest was pure white that place was the total opposite; it was a winter garden with smooth grey and white stones covering the ground that only brought up even more the colorful flowers that swung with the wind; chrysanthemums, tulips, some bamboo and other plants I couldn't recognize, going from red to yellow and purple, and that made me realize that's something already so beautiful could be highlighted up even more by being framed in such way.

It was difficult to tear my eyes away, but curiosity won after all as I turn around to ask Isa about this place, even though I was so uninterested in it until now.

”Why is this place so white?”

”It is said that the Goodness of Magic would only use white, so it became a symbol of our church to use it as color base for everything.”

”But I saw so many people using different colorful clothes…”

”Yes, it is the same reason that we have so many flowers; for the only thing that would change in her clothes is that colorful flowers would appear, and their colors would change with her mood, shining against the white cloth.”

I look at Isa, all white with only armor in place, and I don't even need to ask him as he says:

”Mine is metal, silver, the blade color, the strong yet flexible elemental, and it represents when one is willing to fight, but not consumed by the wish to do so. Is the ones that have the patience and willingness to go out there and work to the bones for what they believe is right.”

”Uhm…” High words coming from someone who wanted to beat me before for only being a magical creature.

He quickly explains to me some of the meanings, and that the color usually represents; red for the ones who assist in the war, tough women who are not scared to get a little dirty, even though usually they all stay only close to the nobles and wealthy to heal them up, and not on the front lines.

Putting price and value on lives now uhm? But I guess we all to that… to some degree.

Then the golden-yellow were quite obvious; the ones responsible for the economics of the church, which was quite a lot since they bought and earned a lot of lands which they then lend to others to plant and use… for a price.

It is actually quite profitable to have a church, even more when you are mostly omnipotent in the continent; with some diversities up north apparently.

Purple was the ones that I would be looking for; the ones responsible for research, for the creation of new magic and for teaching new nuns as well, having a quite neutral yet respectable rank.

Then there were the green and turquoise-blue, the first took care of the plants and cleaning, and the other coping books or doc.u.ments, dealing with the more administrative part of it all.

And the eunuchs helped them all, mostly staying with the same person, almost like a personal servant, though were they worked and who they worked for was totally up to contacts and charisma.

We walk around for a while, me, for the first time, very content in following behind since I knew nothing of this place, but it wasn't long before I saw how crowded and busy this place is, which makes me more.

And how, sooner than I thought, I would realize that my stay would be shorter than I believed at first.

And more… endangering.
