My, my, my he certainly is taking a long time to summon me back. Normally I would have been summoned at this point, however, I have yet to be. I walked through the grey zone till I found my hollow by which I had made. I sat down in it and began to groom myself. I cleaned my tails each very carefully then moved onto my lithe body then licked my chest while in fox form and made sure to clean my paws also. I licked the top of my paws and began to clean my ears keeping them with the fur pattern in order and clean. I felt I was satisfied once I was completely groomed and laid my head down to think. I had gotten lost in thought on how long the human race could live before extinction when I realized I was no longer in the grey zone. I blinked a few times and saw my master staring at me with a worried and conceded look upon his face.

"You summoned me?"

"Yeah...umm..you alright there? You were kinda starring off into space and not responding to anything I was saying."

"Mmm, yes I am fine. Not that you would care and that was just a simple act to gain my trust. What is it you require from me?"

"Homework. I also didn't do that just to gain your trust, I said it because I was genuinely worried."

"Homework. You require my assistance with simply, homework?"

"Yes, that isn't too hard is it?"

"No, I just expected something, ohh I don't know, more."

"Nope, just homework."

"I see, what is it you require me to do for you?"

"Not do, just help."

"Very confusing, but very well."

"Ok, so since I know you have lived since what the Egyptian era?"

"Correct, I have."

"Mind telling me about how the pyramids were built since our project is on how ancient/recent monuments were built and people will be doing them most likely on the leaning tower of Pisa, Statue of Liberty, Eightful tower  and so forth. Since nobody is certain about how the pyramids were built one can not do such research only in theory and hypothesis."

"The pyramids?"

"Yeah you know, the triangle buildings made of stone."

"Ohh, you mean the Pharos tomb."

"Yes that."

"It was built on slave labor as well as the majority on familiars from what I have gathered from resources, due to the fact I wasn't summoned by a worker I didn't experience it first hand, but I did see some of the work going on when I was sent out to do my prior masters bidding."

"Ok, how was the stone cut? As well as what items were used to move the stone peices."

"The stone was cut with iron pick axes and then smoothed over by rubbing it down. A very sleek structure if you ask me. As for it being moved, familiars did the heavy work mostly oxen and horse familiars you had the occasional mammoth. The human workers only cut the stone and made the mortar to hold it in place. The actual labor was done by familiars."

"The pyramids nowadays aren't smooth now a days  as you put it."

My master had stopped jutting  down notes after he had spoken to me and just stood looking at me.

"I can't make that into a papper, I would get an F if I put down familiars did the heavy lifting, not to mention I would be put in an asylum. The part about cutting stone and making mortar I can use, but not the actual labor part."

"Fine, you can tweak it a bit instead of saying familiars did it, for the smaller stones put down fifteen workers moved it with ropes and pulleys, as well as logs to roll it on over. As for the larger ones workers of up to fifty would tug it. You can guess which familiars did what jobs the oxen and horse could do the small and medium, but as for the larger ones the mammoth familiars were brought in."
