Introduction
Somewhere in Europe during the Middle Ages
Fillun woke to a find himself in a strange bed in a cold room. He yawned and stretched and looked around. The walls and floor were made of stone, and there was a straw mattress and a jug of water for washing with. As the light began to stream the window, he could see how bleak and sparse the room looked. “Where am I?” he asked. Then he realised - he had joined an abbey and was going to train to be a monk!
The prince of Velatria was not used to such basic conditions. In his parents' palace, he had servants to bring him everything, a comfortable bed, a warm fire in his bedroom, and rich clothes and food. However circumstances had changed so much, that he was now in another country and joining an abbey to train as a monk.
As he looked around, he remembered a recent conversation with his guardian, Bonnar. They had agreed that the best way forward was for him to join an abbey and become a monk. This was a serious decision to take, but given the circumstances, Bonnar thought they didn't have much choice.
The time he would spend in the abbey would involve taking part in the same activities as the other monks – praying, chanting, and the other activities they carried out. So he would probably spend many hours of contemplation in the abbey chapel, and prayers with the monks, which was not something he would have chosen himself. However this was the plan agreed for the moment and he would have to remain here for the moment, and discuss the situation with Bonnar over time.
So back to the present. Here was Fillun waking in a cold, dark, almost empty room. He had been told he should get up and pray with the monks before dawn as they did every day of the year. So he was now late, and should be in the chapel now. Time to get up and join them.
As he got up and put on his monk's habit, he remembered back to his quick chat with Bonnar the night before, when they had arrived at the abbey. He had been sad because the one person he trusted with his life was leaving him here. Also as Bonnar was going to leave, he suddenly felt a warmth in his heart that he hadn't realised he had for Bonnar.
When Bonnar went to leave, he hugged him, and then looked in his eyes and smiled. He realised that he loved this man. He stepped up and let his lips touch Bonnar's in a light kiss.
