Anything, Everything

Chapter 2

Damon woke up to the glaring sun shining in his eyes.

"Ugh, I remeber closing the curtain last night." He turned away from the sunlight and went back to sleep. Not even a minute later, there was a knock on his door.

"Young Master Damon, please wake up for breakfast," a monotone voice was heard that sounded unfamiliar to Damon.

He quickly sat up, and memories flooded into his head. A spilting headache had him laying back on the bed.

He is now the eldest son of the Chimera family. He just turned 10 years old with a younger brother by two years, Liam.

Yesterday was an important day for him. The day he finally made up his mind to commit suicide. His father put too much pressure on him to be the best of the best, and he couldn't take it anymore. He had lessons from sword fighting, history, math, reading, magic, learning to rule, land prosperity, and the list goes on and on.

He started his lessons at the tender age of five. He never got the chance to do whatever he wanted and the pressure that started when he was five had started to build up until he couldn't take it anymore.

But now since he's a new Damon,  who already have thirty years of experience from the harsh entertainment world, there was no pressure at all.

All he had to do now is sort out the old Damon's memories and memorize them.  It couldn't be as hard as memorizing scripts for movies and t.v shows. Damon didn't even question how going to sleep would lead to going into someone else's body.

I knew something was going to happen.

"Young Master Damon?"

I've been thinking too long.

"Yes, I'm getting ready right now."

Only when he heard the maid walking away did he get out of bed. He approached his dresser and picked a outfit suited for the eldest son of one of the most powerful duke's family.

He walked slowly to the dining room. As he approached the double doors,  he stopped and looked through his or old Damon's memories.

This world is called Mythical. There is a King which rules this world. The King belongs to the Dragon family.  There are six dukes who have the most power below the loyal family.

The six duke families are Chimera (his family), Sphinx, Yeti, Griffin, Basilisk, and Manticore. There are twelve barons under the rule of the dukes. Two barons are in each duke's territory.  The barons watch over the citizens and get approval for any changes to the land from the dukes.

The duke territory is made to surround the castle. There is a large town for each duke which is ruled by the barons, but the dukes make the final decision.

Smaller towns surround the large town who report to the baron.
The castle is rested in the central town circled by the dukes.

After sorting out some memories of this world, he took a deep breath,  and pushed open the doors to the dining room. Nobody greeted him.

They were all focused on their meal.  He walked to his seat and ate what was on his plate. No one talked the whole entire meal. The family, his father and mother left after finishing.

Only him and his brother were left. They ate their dessert in silence until Damon noticed his brother staring at the strawberry on top of his cake.

"Do you want the strawberry?"

Liam looked shocked for a second and meekly nodded his head. Then Damon saw from the old memories that he rarely talked to his brother or to anyone for that matter unless its necessary. Actually, no one talked to each other in this family. 

"Here," Damon gave the strawberry to his brother and ate the last bite of his dessert.

Damon pushed back his chair and started walking towards the door. He stopped when he heard some shuffling from behind him.

He turned around and saw his brother standing like a statue from behind him. Damon turned around and started walking again thinking nothing of it. 

There was some shuffling again. He stopped once again and turned around. His brother was still on his tail. He turned around and walked again, but felt a shirt grip the edge of his shirt.

He didn't stop or turn around and walked to his first lesson for the day. Sword fighting.

----time skip---

Damon went through his five lessons for the day as usual (his lesson alternates everyday), but with extra baggage.

His brother has been following throughout the day. Finally, when he was done with his final lesson, he turned around to his brother who has been behind him the whole day.

"Liam, are you hungry? It's nine now and you didn't eat dinner."

Liam jumped as if he didn't expect to be talked to. He shyly nodded again.

They walked towards the dining room together. He was surprised to see his father and mother there. They never ate dinner this late. He was even more surprised when his father spoke.

"Damon, how was your lessons today?"

Damon, even though shocked, still replied with a "It was fine."

"And Liam was your day good?"

Liam looked surprised too, but still nodded. 

Dinner went on and the same thing happened again. His parents left first, Damon gave Liam his strawberry, and Liam followed Damon out of the room.

Damon walked silently with Liam trailing behind. Damon led Liam to his room, said a quiet, "sleep well," and walked away this time without a trailing Liam.

Damon went back to own room, laid on his bed and thought how much of a miracle it was that he never freaked out during any of this.

He had sorted through all the memories throughout the day.

He just brushed it off as him being able to adapt well as an actor being carried over. He needed to before. He thought about it for sometime before slipping into sleep.
