Chapter one: Shallow Sleep
The night was old and I was beyond tired. Most of my night was spent taking care of the young lord's horse. The child was a horrid little thing that kicked me more often than not, and the poor child set as his whipping boy often ended up with a bloody back for the little shit's wrong doing. I could not understand why Nobles used whipping boys when their own son was the one doing the wrong, but when one has money one will buy and trade to keep their young happy and quiet.
After taking care of the child's Peruvian Paso and getting the Arabian's final brush down, I left the stables. Both were colts given to the boy as a gift; one for show and the other for racing. Slowly walking the short yard to the small servant's house I nearly stumbled over a fallen log. Finally making it into the small warm house I was shocked to see the mast of the house standing there waiting. "Seifer..." Frowning I bowed as all good boys should.
"Yes me lord?" I kept my head low, knowing he was not happy with me as it was.
"Kyo is unhappy with your riding instructions… He feels you are only… mocking him, as he puts it." Biting my lip I kept my head down as I started to straighten. "I know you would not do so… So I came here to tell you tomorrow I will have you taken to the Loire's estate. Someone should be here in the morning to collect you."
Bowing once more I wait for him to dismiss me. When he does I head up to my room with the other servants giving me sad looks. It really doses not bother me. I never really cared for this place, having been traded from another estate. If you were good, a lord would keep you, unless there was a problem in the family. Then you became the Black Death moving from one estate to another. This would be my fourth move.
Flopping back on my lumpy bed I could not help but feel better, like I was going someplace better. I could rest for a bit then get up pack and sleep away what little of the night was left. With a large sigh I did just that.
I grabbed whatever clothing I had laying around and placed them in the side saddle bag. My pack came next filled with what little personal items I had as well as some of my riding gear. I only started working with horses when I came here, and when the master rider left I took over. Before that I did nothing but clean and keep the grounds. Wonder what I will do next.
Lying back on my bed for the last time I looked out at the tiny window and sighed. The sun was coming up. Great. Not only had I spent the whole day chasing after the wild ass known as Kyo, and the lord's son, I also spent all night cleaning after him. Life was just wonderful.
Closing my eyes I settled back. Forget this all. I was going to sleep till they threw me out. I smiled though very tired. Not the best way to show up at a new lord's estate, but I could not care less right at this moment. Closing my eyes I could feel the sun come up and the manner come alive with every living person, though I would be the exception. The exception till some one came and threw me out.
An: I know it was short but hey it's just chapy one. Sorry if you were hoping for a Quall. Sos has taken over and will stay. Please review and help me keep my sanity for a while longer.
