Emanuel got into the room with two cups. He placed one on the table, in front on me, and sat down on the other couch. I picked up the cup. "Huh. I've never seen a lavender colored tea before" I said, taking a small sip. "Wow. This is really good" I said. "I'm glad you like it. It's one that even I can enjoy" Emanuel answered. "So, there's no water in this? Interesting. What kind is it?" I asked. "It's made from the chorus plant. Specifically, the fruit and flowers" he answered. "I've never had a chorus fruit before! I'm surprised at how sweet it is. Or maybe it's just the tea" I said. "The fruit is rather sour and dry, but the flowers are sweet" he answered. "I see. So, the liquid part is the nectar?" I asked. "You could say that" he answered. I set down the cup. "So, about that story" I said, putting my head in my hands, leaning on the table. "Of course, just know that you can ask while I'm telling you. Don't wait until the end if you got any questions" He said.

---Flash back. Emanuel POV---over 100 years ago---

I was left alone. In the rain. I tried taking shelter in a cave, which was going well, until the cold air started entering the already cold cave. It's in the middle of the night, which doesn't help my situation. I'm too small to be able to survive in these conditions on my own. My parents left me in the overworld. I'm much weaker than my siblings. Weaker than anyone really. I felt like giving up when I heard someone approaching. I looked up, seeing an enderman in a tailcoat that was split in the back, staring at me, with slim eyes. I backed away, scared that they would hurt me, like everyone else. Instead of feeling pain, they started talking. I tilted my head, not able to understand the language. They seemed to catch on, and changed their vocabulary to my own. "Why are you out here, on your own like this?" he asked. "I was left here" I answered shyly. The stranger crouched down to my height, and put a hand in front of me. "Come, I can't let you die out here, at such a young age" he said. I carefully took his hand, and he teleported to a big house. I've heard about these, but never seen one. The stranger opened the doors, and led me inside. He called out, in that strange language again. Shortly after, a human walked down the staircase, speaking the same language. I recognize that human. Or should I say God? He said the enderman's name as Clyde. He got down to my level, and started to speak my language. "What's your name, little one?" he asked. "E-Emanuel" I answered. "Well then, make yourself at home" he said.

It's been a few years. I've learned to speak English and even gotten some training in butlery. But what worries me is Clyde. He's been more, how you say, savage? He's been killing innocent creatures. And he's gotten rips in his cheeks from transforming so much. I hope he won't turn on us.

It seems like I was wrong. It's only been a month, and I'm standing in front of Herobrine, guarding him from a monster. He lunged at me, and I managed to guard just in time. And without meaning it, I ripped his pearl out, making him unable to teleport. He screeched, and ran away. I was frozen in place, letting the dark blue orb fall out of my bloody hands. "Emanuel?" I heard Him say. I couldn't speak, I couldn't move, thinking about what I did. "I guess that you're my new butler" he said, snapping me out of the trance. "You've done something, no-one would do without killing them" he added, handing me a bowtie. I got a handkerchief and dried my hands before taking it.

"I will not let you down, master"

Your POV.

"That would be a short summary of my story" Emanuel ended. "Already the end?" I asked. "Yes, I do have a few errands to take care of" he said. "Oh, right. Go ahead. Oh, could you get me some more of that tea?" I asked, as he got up to leave. "Of course, you might have to wait for a while though" He answered. "Don't worry about it. I'll be in my room if I'm needed" I said, getting up myself. Emanuel was gone with a Poof, and I was on my way upstairs.

((Sorry for the delay, and short chapter. I am still sick and I don't know what it could be. At least I have my voice back. I hope I will be able to get back on track soon, Have a day))
