I woke up feeling like death. Also there was something pushing me to the ground - I had no idea why I was on the floor instead of my bunk. I pushed a naked Blood Fury out of my chest, wondering where she came from. I stood up and felt like my brain was twisting and spinning and my stomach was coming up my throat. Instinctively I pulled my mask off of my face just a while before I turned my stomach inside out. Just after this I could think a little more clearly. I wondered why I was almost naked, as my mask was everything I was wearing. Then I remembered the last night party. The fainted bodies of other Assassins and Blood Furies were a clear sign that Laith made a really good moonshine. My head still hurt, so I put on my pants and went outside the bedroom, to our common bathroom and I poured a lot of cold water on my head. It helped, but then I remembered someone slamming the door. I wondered who it could be. All the Assassins and lots of the Blood Furies were already in our bedroom - was it another Fury? Or maybe a leader wanted to collect some army?
I poured another bucket of water on my head and I felt much better, almost all right. I went back to our bedroom and found out almost all my clothes were covered with spew. It seemed I was not the only one to be sick from Laith's products. I watched my room-mates and the guest Furies. Some of them were wearing the opposite sex clothes - I couldn't help laughing at Laith dressed up like a Fury. Then I dressed up in most clean clothes, put all the dirty ones into the laundry basket - a Minotaur would go and collect them and then wash - and went downstairs, to the very common mass. I asked for some milk with very weak voice. I was lucky. Milk is not as hard to get as juices (which I drink only in Irollan), but yet not common and it's never enough for everyone, and the children are always first to get it. In fact, it wasn't very early, so the children were after their breakfast. But I was sure that not all of my last night party-mates wouldn't be as lucky.
After two big mugs of milk I felt perfectly healthy. Then I asked for some real breakfast and I got the soldier's bread and some meat, covered in spices. It was very hot, but I love it. I can't understand why the wood elves prefer tasteless plants.
Suddenly the door of the mass swung open and I caught a glimpse of Yshela. I wanted to run up to her, but when she noticed me, she just ran away.
'Yshela! Wait!' I shouted, but it was already too late.
