Chapter 9 Training Day
Well I couldn't complain much, I did get a good sleep in for once. Since this somehow is the first day of the rest of my life I kind of had some low expectations on my living arrangements, but at least they had showers here or come to think of it actually more like a bath. I thought it was going to be a communal bath room, but thank god it was not.
They actually feed you pretty well to say the least, I was totally expecting gruel. Not eggs, bacon, toast, and ham. I mean this is a church right? I thought they operated like orphanages where they feed you with less than quality food. Like here you go kid eat up its good for you, even thought it looks like puke. The only thing different is, and I had to see this coming which was praying for the start of the day. The only thing is I don't know who we are praying to. I didn't really ask any questions since I was sitting by myself.
Meanwhile on the other side of the room. Brother Tryston, Priestess Verona, and Brother Dunmore are eating their morning breakfast till they notice Nate is over by himself in the distance." Why does our new paladin in training eat alone by himself Brother Tryston inquired?""Perhaps he feels that he is all alone, I shall go and talk to him to make him feel more welcome here and remind him that he is not alone as he may think," Brother Dunmore added. "That's a wonderful idea brother Dunmore."
I'm sitting here with both my hands clasp leaning a bit with my eyes shut just resting a bit, till a friendly face comes by. "Oh hey Brother Dunmore, how life be treating ya."" Good morning Nate are you praying for the food to be a bit more scrumptious." I gave a soft laugh. "Is that a joke I heard from you?"" And here I thought that you guys are voided of any laughter." "Hmm what makes you think that?"" Well it's just the way you guys handle yourselves sounding formal and all."
"But back to your question no I'm not praying, I'm just trying wake myself up a bit." "Why do you eat by yourself Nate?"" Isn't it obvious I'm the new guy here, I don't know anyone."" You don't think I notice all the prying eyes that are upon me."" All looking at me saying who's this guy, what he doing here?"" How do you know they are looking at you?"
"Ok you want some proof fine, two tables to my right there is a girl with dark brown hair glancing at me about every five seconds."" Three tables directly behind me there is a grown man looking pretty intently at me while talking with a lady next him."" But you see me as I just focus to you when I'm talking to you." Brother Dunmore takes some quick glances around to see how right I am.
"I'm impressed Nate you are very observant of your surroundings."" I believe I understand your dilemma, you are new here and you feel that you are all alone, but if you give it time you will feel that you are more welcomed here."" I too felt this way when I came here many years ago."" How long have you been here?"" Since I was boy. "Well how old are you now?" 25.
"Can I ask you one more question?" "Go on." "Who are we praying to?" "Why the light."" Nate you better hurry now and finish you breakfast your training will start soon."" Oh yeah where do I go from here?"" I will show you."" Oh yeah one more thing thanks for being a friend to me." He just nodded and put his hand on my shoulder.
After breakfast I had many classes such as what I would think as like some sort of karate class, weapons class, first aid class, and some sort of magic class which had some kind of text book require reading, problem is they are a bit weird. I mean I can't read them. I mean I can't understand the writing in these books.
I basically visited Lord Grayson office yet again. "I don't understand Nate what do you mean that don't know what these text are saying? ""I am saying that I literally can't read these books."" I don't understand the lettering or symbols. ""It still does not make sense you are speaking in perfect common." "Yeah, but wait what?" "You are speaking in perfect common."" No I'm speaking perfect English to you."" English, what is English?"" It is the language that I am speaking to you right now."" No you are speaking in common." Man we are getting now where fast, how can I prove my point to you as I thought about it to myself.
"Wait a second Lord Grayson, how can I prove this to you?"" Do you have some paper or parchment and maybe a writing implement like pen or pencil?""I do here you go."
"Here Lord Grayson can you read this?" He looks at what I wrote intensely for a few minutes." I don't know what this says, what does it say?" "I just spelled my name to you in English Nathaniel A. Gray." "Hmm I'm starting to see your dilemma Nate it is quite perplexing."" Very well you are excused for the time being; however it is vital that you learn these spells for they are an important part of your training."" I shall seek out a mage to see if we can conjure up a translation spell, in the mean time give me some time to find you a suitable tutor in helping you learn these incantations." "Thanks Lord Grayson and look I'm not trying to cause any trouble here."" No it quite alright nate you are excuse to go back to your studies."
