Deception

Slipperly Snake

Stiles stares at the letter in his hand and then lifted his gaze to the door. After all this time, he was finally going outside the Lord of Minds home once more.

Into the Mind District.

He was to deliver this letter to the Mind Core, to Carlie.

Stiles did hesitate. He couldn't remember the outside sorcerer world very well.

What would it like?

There was only one way to find out.

He opened the doors with ease and stepped outside. Walking towards the gates.

They opened for him. They'd open for all servants who served the Lord of Mind directly in his house hold.

The Lord had given Stiles directions into the city centre of the Lord of Minds district, where the Mind Core was.

He walked for about 10 minutes, passing building that he thinks are houses but because of their wonky and odd structures he is unsure.

Stiles looked around as he stepped into town. He let out a breath of surprise and awe, there was only one way to describe this place.

It was magical.

The shops and the buildings were built in such unusual shapes that no one in the human world could possibly imagine.

Twisting and angling in ways humans could never hope to build. The color of the buildings, a lime green, gave the area a rich, lavish feel. That only the wealthy truly belonged here. Despite that Stiles could see many low servants, like him, wondering about the place.

There where many cloak shops and shops to help with ruins and information on different ones. They almost looked like a library.

The air around him buzzed with energy. Stiles could practically feel the magic in the air. Breathing it in.

He could hear the sound of chatting, many servants were in small groups, talking amongst each other and he could feel the wind against his face.

There was small inklings of magic with the people, mainly due to their ruins and Stiles noticed that all of them had certain similar ruins however the size of them and thickness was all completely different on each person.

He at first wondered how he would find the Mind Core but his Lord had told him as soon as he got into town, he'd know it when he saw it.

And he was right.

Stiles gaped at the huge building in front of him.

He felt like an ant next to it. The Mind Core was written in bold letters at the front, sticking out at odd angles.

The building itself was square, nothing unusual apart from its gigantic size.

Even the entrance was made for a giant.

The black stone doors closed tight.

Stiles hesitantly walked towards it. He raised his hand to knock but before he could the door started to open, creaking as it did so.

The stone dragging on the ground, digging into the floor and going over and deeper into other scratches the door had made.

Stiles warily stepped inside, it was all in a strange darkness that didn't relent despite the doors being wide open.

They closed promptly behind him.

As soon as they closed three lights of energy suddenly appeared, almost out of no where. They shone brightly, finally casting light into the dark building.
