Adam drummed his fingers lightly against the glossy wood of the table. Several unopened books lay stacked by his shoulder as the man stared out the large, ornate window before him. The background sounds of the library droned peacefully in his ears. Soft voices; rustling pages, and subdued footsteps.
Though he didn't care for all of the old tomes in the way some of his friends did, the library held a special place in Adam's heart. It was warm and peaceful; soothing in a way most of the compound was not.
He shivered slightly. Compound. Adam loathed using that word to describe his home, but the title was accurate. 'Small kingdom' had also been proposed to be an accurate descriptor, if not for the fact that Adam refused to think of himself as a king. Just the thought repulsed him. A leader he could handle being. He didn't think he could ever in good conscious become King.
Adam stalled his absent minded fidgeting in favor for resting his hand against his palm. Outside the window he could see a group of recruits sparring on the grassy stretch between the compound and the outer wall. Several older, more adept recruits guided the younger trainees in a simple game of competitive practices. A fond smile curved Adam's lips as an older boy helped a younger girl to her feet, before correcting her on her mistake. She nailed the exercise on the next attempt.
