Notes
Hi all I am releasing two chapters (6 and 7) today to make up for the late chapter this week. This has a part from chapter 312
Frankenstein
I had been in Lukedonia a little over a year now. My library in my little lab had grown with all the new notes on nobles. I had yet to leave Lukedonia though I was considering taking a trip. It would be nice to go collect a few things from my labs.
Glancing up from my book the hourglass caught my eyes. Crap I am so late for my Masters morning tea. Placing my book back perfectly aligned on the desk I headed for the kitchen. It was a good thing I had baked biscuits last night when I couldn't sleep. It would help make up for the late tea.
I knocked on masters door moving into the room placing the tray on the table near the window.
"Sorry tea is so late Master"
He nodded as I placed his tea on the window sill before moving back. Something seemed off about him today, he was at his window like normal but he had turned back to it very quickly today.
The room shock as energy spiked near the front door. What is this.
"Master, I will check this out"
I strolled from the room, I dare not show haste in my Masters presence"
Once out the door I took off. Who would dare attack this place. I skidded to a halt as a person walked my way. His appearance was wild but his energy was so strong.
"So, you're the human Raizel took in"
He's not an enemy and his energy is different from a nobles.
"Who are you"
"Oh, I am Muzaka. I know Raizel well… The man who took you in"
Muzaka. He's a werewolf. Master is friends with a werewolf.
"Where is Raizel"
I should be polite to the visitor that came to meet my Master.
"Follow me please"
I turned and walked down back the way I came. He stayed a few steps behind.
"I knocked on the door till now as a courtesy but from now on, I could wait till you opened the door for me"
If he wasn't here to see master I would run him through. Make it sound like ill serve him.
"I guess things are different, now that Raizel isn't living by himself"
"By the way I didn't get your name"
"It's Frankenstein"
"Oh. I heard about you from our boys that you used to be wild in the outside world"
Looks like the werewolves will need reminding that I can kick them down when I need to.
We stopped outside of Masters room.
"Whatever you did, it's good that someone is here taking care of Raizel.
"Here we are"
"Here? he's all ways here"
I opened the door but before I could say anything the werewolf barged past.
"Raizel, isn't it stuffy? Don't you feel suffocated? Please, go outside. Why live like this?"
I watched the Werewolf continue to talk to Master. I wasn't sure if I preferred when people sat quietly with Master or talked.
"Your friend hasn't seen you in a long time. Turn around and greet me. Wont you?"
Master turned as the werewolf flopped on the chair, laying down like he owns the place.
"Master would you like me to bring up another cup and some snacks for you and your guest"
He nodded as he moved to sit down so I took the tray over to the low table before filling Masters cup and exiting the room. From what I knew of werewolves they preferred a more carnivorous diet so instead of heading for the kitchen I left the house stopping by the rabbit cage that had been made a few months back. Since then the amount of rabbit had been growing as I had been putting any young rabbits that were caught in my traps in there to fatten them up.
Snagging two I went about getting them ready, I'd stew one and roast the other. They probably didn't have to eat just like Nobles but they lived amongst humans so I guessed it would be more habit.
It didn't take long to one of the rabbits on a spit which could turn its self. I just didn't think it was worth the time to wast sitting there turning it when I could make something to do it for me. The other was chopped and in the pot along with some vegetables I could puree into a soup for Master. Master would eat meat but I could tell he would rather not.
Grabbing the spare tea pot from above the fire and adding the leaves. not adding the sugar as not all people enjoyed the same sweetness that my Master liked. With everything I needed on a tray I set up back to see to my Masters guest. How had Master even met the werewolf but I was glad to see Master had a friend.
The werewolf was still talking when I entered something about foxes with large ears. He quieted once I stepped in though didn't rise from his relaxed spot.
"Raizel I am glad to see you found the human to look after you"
Why must he talk like I am not in the room with them. Though I did find it funny to note that he must see Raizel like a child too or was that pup since he was a werewolf.
"His name is Frankenstein"
"Master will your guest be staying for dinner"
Master turned his eyes on Muzaka.
"I will be and I'll be here for the next few days"
I nodded.
"Master if there is anything you need I will be near the kitchen. I'll bring up dinner once it is done"
I left them, taking the trays and empty tea pot with me. Stopping by the kitchen and leaving the dishes for later, before heading for my lab. I'd wait a day or two then maybe head off for human land. I was sure that since the werewolf was here the other nobles would stay away. They didn't like to disturb Master when he had guests already.
It was only when I sat down that I noticed that I still had my monocle on. Not that I needed it but it was something from my normal human life I had kept. There was some part of me that just didn't want to give up on being human.
Pulling out the book with all of my own health checks on it made me wonder. What would these results be in a few years, what about in decades. The results were already climbing in leaps and bounds with the constant use of the dark spear. If this continued then my healing factor may start losing out.
That would have to be the next project to work on. The only problem would come with being that nobles wouldn't understand the science behind it all. The lab would have to be built in the human world but that would also mean I couldn't use any others as test subjects. There would be to much time between my visits to it.
A lot of the miner tests could be done here, that would save time but to leave my lab unguarded could cause a problem. I would have to risk it. Grabbing a blank note book I started to jot down anything that came to mind about what I could do in my new lab.
Knocking on Masters door and entering the room made Muzaka stopped talking and sit up turned his head to face me.
"Smells great"
"I hope it is to your liking"
Removing the other tray I went about setting up tonight's meals. Setting the soup in front of Master and a range of rabbit with different dressings in front of the werewolf.
"Muzaka there is a guest room down the hall third door on your left If you wish to use it. I'll Collet tonight's dishes in the morning so feel free to take your time"
"Wow Raizel you really did get a butler"
"Did you think me incapable of doing my job right"
"You are human"
"And you are a werewolf so you mustn't be house trained"
Raizel:
Why did they have to start already. Why couldn't Frankenstein remember to be polite, though Muzaka wasn't being so either.
"From what I heard you're more wild then me"
"You look like something the cat dragged in"
I let out a sigh which some how they both heard and turned to look at me with guilty expressions.
"Master I'm retiring for the night. I will see you in the morning"
I nodded. Muzaka didn't talk till Frankenstein had made it to the stairs.
"Frankenstein is a very different human"
I nodded.
"When I had first heard that you had one living with you I didn't believe it. How would a human end up here of all places. Then I though of what the human would be like and I have to admit I would never of guessed some one like him. The energy he put out is so dark"
I nodded to show that I was listing.
"I heard he is good in combat maybe one time we can have a brawl. It would be fun to make someone who looks so proper a mess"
He really hadn't gotten Frankenstein right at all. Yes he liked neatness but he was just as unpredictable as any werewolf. Muzaka would enjoy a training match with Frankenstein. Maybe that would help them become friends. Maybe Frankenstein would be the one to join all three species together.
Silence fell around us as we started to eat. Muzaka seemed to like what was cooked for him. I was glad Frankenstein seem to of picked up that I preferred vegetables over the flesh of something that had once had a heart beat.
It didn't take long for it all to be finished and for Muzaka to be laying back down. I turned my head to the window, the moon was close to being full. I couldn't see it but I was sure its light was lighting up the garden that Frankenstein had planted in view of my window. One day I might go down to see it for myself maybe.
"You know you could leave here and go explore. You could tag along with me if you wanted to"
It would be selfish of me to leave my spot. It was my job to be here for when I was needed and I also would not want to force my presence on the others. I was fine just here with Frankenstein and the occasional visitor.
"Maybe Frankenstein will work more magic on you. He's already gotten you to leave your window, maybe by next time he will have you taking a short walk outside"
Had it really been such a big change. It didn't seem so to me. All I was doing was using the furnisher Frankenstein had made. It had made sense to use it as it was there.
"It is good to see him having such a positive effect on you. It lets me put my mind at rest to know you are doing well now"
We both listened as Frankenstein made his way up the steps and into his room, It wasn't long be he settled down for the night. It was one of the things that showed he was still human.
I would miss not checking up on him tonight but as he hadn't been training I was sure he wouldn't need my help tonight. Frankenstein had gotten a lot better in such a short amount of time. I still went in there from time to time but it was more common to wake him from Nightmares then for me to stop the Dark Emotions.
Maybe one day in the future he wouldn't need me at all but I right now I was happy to be needed by him.
