Chapter 6

Palace Of Alcazarzaya (doubt I spelled it right lol.)

Kaveh went to his house, up to the girl there. "hello? Can I help you?" Kaveh asked, the girl. "ugh.. Do you not know who I am? I'm the greatest. Merchant in SUMERU!" the girl said her eyes narrowed annoyed. "uhhh..." Kaveh was still confused. "so that's not gonna work." the girl mumbled. "ugh whatever the names Dori."
Kaveh realized who she was and was still, confused why out of all the people in the world, she was here. Did he trade something with her once. No he never did so what could it be.
"Light Of Krshrawar! Is it? Aren't you Sumeru's most famous architect?" Dori questioned. Kaveh knew that name. Many people calmed him that it was, a sort of praise for his beautifully made blue prints. He helped with Port Ormos in it's first stages of building, that was a great learning experience for him. But what could Dori want. "whatever. Look, you are an architect that's your job, and I need YOU to DO your job! I want to build The Palace Of.... Alcazarzaya!" Dori said brightly. Kaveh was amazed, a palace?! "so are you in?" Dori asked. "o-of course!" Kaveh stuttered if he did this he might get more work one day and be the greatest architect ever!
Kaveh immediately once Dori left started on the blue prints hundreds of sheets on the floors of scrapped ideas. Kaveh realized his bandage had gotten loose, so he just fixed it and continued working. "damn it I can't do this..." Kaveh said starting to lose hope his hair kept getting in the way, so he made a messy bun so it'd stop annoying him.
It was 4 am, it had been hours of nonstop drawing and writing. Until suddenly he started making rough curbs, beautiful textures, flowers, stairs which led to another and another, roofs to shelter one during the rain or sun. And then, VOILÀ Kaveh stated at the paper for a few 2 minutes examining any and all mistakes. It was perfect. Just what Kaveh and Dori wanted. He finished sending a letter to Dori about the final blueprint and just a day later he got a letter.

Dear uhh what ever your name was again kaveh right?

Well besides that I think your blue print was great. You may come tomorrow to see which site we can build it in and where we should start construction thank you for cooperation

From, Dori / Greatest Sumeru Merchant EVER!

Kaveh almost laughed at the letter but was glad she liked it there were somethings worth living. Yet this would not fate to last.

Then next day Dori and Kaveh chose the area and started planning for construction. For the next few months  Kaveh would not have time to play King Of Invocations TCG with Cyno or Tighnari. All he did was work the only place he would go to was the tavern to  drink some sorrows away for example his father's death, his mother never coming to visit.

Everything

Kaveh one day came to the sight and fell down to his knees, it hurt it felt like something could hurt him badly at any given moment there were hillichurls nearby so he took them out but there was a heavy feeling in his chest. The palace of Alcazarzaya wasn't there.

"HEY BLONDE BOY!" a voice familiar to Kaveh shouted. Kaveh turned around "Dori?" Kaveh shouted trying to get to Dori before he fell down from the headache he had.

"are you kidding me..." Dori mumbled angrily under her breath.
"what happened?" Kaveh questioned by the time he got near Dori it stopped hurting.

"get up the hill look." Dori said coldly scoffing at the end. Kaveh looked and it makes sence.
"the withering... IT DESTROYED EVERYTHING." Dori said annoyed.
They worked so hard only for it to get destroyed. "you better finish this and you're paying for it." Dori said she wasn't asking it was a fact. Kaveh was one to never stand up for himself

You hurt him. He'll forgive you.
You ignore him. he'll forgive you.
You lie to him. He'll forgive you.
You make him cry. He'll forgive you.
You make him mad. He'll forgive you.

But this. This pushed him over the edge he was about to say something, but, "You wouldn't want to make a client angry, would you now?" Dori used  manipulation to get what she wanted. That's the art of the trade to manipulate people to get you what you want, the truth is only you worry about yourself, so Dori used this.

Kaveh was angry deep down he wanted to say something, say how unfair this was. But he couldn't. At this point he couldn't control his life.

Guilt controlled it.
