Chapter Ten.

I stirred under the feeling of someone watching me. My senses came back to me and I remembered the last thing that had happened. Sitting up, pain soured at my forehead as it throbbed.

“You should lie down. The High lord has skipped a lot of preparation stages for your body” a woman informed me stepping out of the corner of the room which was shadowed. She had no form, she was mist.

My eyes scanned her over; the mist disappeared then re-appeared by the bedside, I leaped back flying off the other side of the bed. I almost hit the floor when I re-appeared back on the bed.

…What the?

“The high lord made us ensure there are to be no marks on your body”

Sitting up once again I shuffled to the edge of the bed.  “You should lie down. The High lord has skipped a lot of preparation stages for your body” the shadow repeated itself.  Was it a robot?

Standing up I looked over to a wall which had flames crackling from the ceiling, as I looked in front my reflection appeared.  A mirror?

“Where am I?” I whispered to myself. Within the mirror appeared a little girl with long white hair, her eyes opened and they were cat-like. My eyes widened and I stepped back slightly.

“You are in infernus” the little girl spoke, her voice as silky as her hair. Infernus, Latin for Hell.

“Who are you?”

“I am the predicting mirror. I know your true desired questions and give you the answer.” She replied. I looked around to see the mist figure gone. Looking back to the mirror I opened my mouth to question it but the girl already knew what I was going to ask.

“Hell is made up of many sources of darkness. This enables anyone with the strength or power to forge a form out of it to do its bidding”

I nodded then went to ask another question. She chuckled, “You seem to forget quite quickly that I know your questions my lord. She is not your healer, she is a guard.”

“A guard?” I asked instantly.

She nodded. “The high lord has many wives, many children. You are his favoured son and that angers the wives and his children. He ensures your safety because he fears they may rise up and harm you”

I nodded.

“Am I free to walk around?” I asked. The girl in the mirror bowed her head and closed her eyes with a little nod. “You are no prisoner my lord.”

Looking down at myself I noticed I was only in my boxers, this was slightly embarrassing. “Some clothes the high lord sent are over there”

Walking over to the dresser I stopped and turned on my heel to ask something of her, “My name is Arianna my lord” she smiled warmly.

With a nod I turned and began to get changed. The black trousers were slightly baggy but tight at the ankle. As for the top it was a sleeveless one exposing my slightly muscular arms. No shoes.

When I was dressed I looked around realising there was no door, opening my mouth to question it a part of a wall dissolved into the ground.  Giving Arianna a nod of thanks I walked out of the room, looking left and right to see there was no one here.

“I suggest going left, the guards’ posts are right” Arianna announced making me jump. She was now on a different wall. I raised a brow.

“I am able to move freely anywhere at any time” she seemed chuffed with herself.
