Chapter1: A New way of Life:
Azar walked up the steps to a large black double door; Ark followed right behind Azar until he came up to the large household then he stopped and stood staring up at the large mansion in disbelief.
Azar turned around to see Ark wide eyed staring at the manor "I suppose coming from outside the city's wall that you have never seen a house this big before" Azar said and in response Ark nodded.
"Well now your going to be living in house that only existed in your dreams" Azar said as he pushed open the large black doors; Ark walked up behind Azar and looked past him into the long darkened hallway in front of himself.
"So come one Ark step inside and get used to your new life" Azar told Ark as he pushed through the doors; Ark stumbled through the two large doors and into the long dark hallway.
Ark opened his eyes and found himself greeted by the lady of the house and Raven; "so you must be Ark, Raven as told me all about you" Azarel told Ark who did not reply.
Azar stepped into the hallway and saw that Ark had meet Azarel "you must forgive him Azarel he dose not talk that much" Azar told her
"well that's alright as long as he talks to us now and again" Azarel replied with a kind smile that scared Ark.
"Now it's late and none of us have eaten yet but before we even think about eating Ark here need to be shown to his room so that he can get some new cloths and take a bath" Azarel told Ark who felt insulted.
"Raven will you show Ark here to his room?" Azar asked her; Raven nodded as she stepped forward and turned to look at Ark
"this way" was all she said as she walked off down the right hallway with Ark following a ways behind her.
Ark followed behind Raven until they came upon a large black steel door with some sort of designs on it.
"This is your room" Raven told Ark who walked up to the large steel door and pushed it open "the bathroom is just down the hall a ways and if you need anything my room is at the every end of the hallway" Raven add as she left Ark by his room.
Ark watched Raven walk away to her own room before he turned around and went into his room.
When Ark entered his new room he was shocked to his just how large it was; it was the size of a four bedrooms put to gather; Ark walked over to his bed to find some clothes lying there for him.
He did not really like the look of the cloth after all he was not meant to wear the clothes of a noblemen and that was what the clothes on his bed were.
He picked up the white shirt and shook his head at it. He liked warrior's clothes much better because that's what he considered himself to be.
Ark went to pick up the black pants when there came a sharp knock on his bedroom door. Ark moved over to the door and pushed it open to see Azar standing outside his door holding what looked like to be warrior's clothes.
"Ark I can see that you don't have a taste for the finer noblemen's clothes" Azar said with a grin; Ark nodded as he moved aside to let Azar into the room.
"You know you can talk to me Ark" Azar told him and all Ark did was roll his eyes.
"I see well I thought since you don't like noblemen's clothes that you could wear these" Azar told Ark as he handed him a bundle.
Ark took as Azar turned around and left the room. Ark unfolded the bundle to find a black shirt and matching black pants and leather soldier boots. Ark put his hands into the boots and pulled out a steel shoulder guard as well as a matching steel leg and knee guard.
Ark moved his hand over the steel shoulder guard before he left his room for the bathroom to a long over due bath.
Once Ark was done with his bath he put on his new clothes and found that they fit him perfectly. The shoulder guard went on his right shoulder, leg and knee guard went on his left leg.
Once Ark put on his clothes he left the bathroom door and stepped into the hallway to head towards his room.
On the way to his room he meet Raven; she had her hood down and she was reading a book when she passed him without looking up.
Ark watched her walk away from him. That had been his first time seeing Raven without her hood up.
Ark shook his head as he continued on to his room. Once he reached his room he went inside and shut the large steel door behind him, locked it, walked over to his large bed and jumped onto it and lay there until he fell asleep.
Ark dreamed about his days outside the city's walls and how he had to kill an older man just to keep alive and to keep his and his friends food. He could also see in his dream what happened after he killed the older man.
For once the man stopped twitching and life had left his body, the horrid devouring started. Other people inside the cave started to tear the older man apart and once they had a piece of his flesh in their hands they ate it without caring that it was human flesh that they were eating.
Ark woke shouting straight up, his eyes wide and his skin pale like he had seen a ghost. He brushed some sweat from his forehead when he heard someone knocking on his door.
Ark got up off his bed and moved over to the door. He pulled it open to find Raven outside waiting for him.
Raven looked at Ark from head to toe after all she had not seen him since she left him in front of his room and now that he was clean and was wearing some clothes she had to admit to herself that he looked kind of cute.
"Supper is ready if you want to come and eat" Raven told Ark. Ark stepped out of his room and shut his door behind him before he followed Raven off down the hallway to the dining room.
