Chapter Nine: Learning
Daniel sat as the scribes all chattered over their dinner and gossiped about anything and everything, in a varitety of languages which Daniel knew were long dead on Earth. One of the older ones, a man named Antser, smiled at him.
Eh, you're a quiet one. he said in a mix of Greek and Eygptian which struck Daniel as being very Hellenistic.
I, well, don't know much about anything. At least not about all the things being talked about. Daniel said in Eygptian.
Well, you are in service to Thoth, a member of an alliance of about twenty of the Gou'ald's who have no wish for ruling the universe or who are too weak to become System Lords. The System Lords are a coliltion of the Gou'ald who rule twenty star systems or over twenty billion free people, slaves, and Jaffa. Ra is the head of the allaiance of System Lords, he has well over one hundred billion in subjects, or at least protectrates like the First World. The planet we just picked you up from is one of Ra's primative mining worlds. Antser said. Other scribes were comming over to put their two cents in as well.
I see. So the System Lords are like the kings in an empire and the group Thoth is in are like their vassels? asked Daniel.
In a manner. said a woman who was called Senna, Thoth and the smartest of the Accessors are responcible for maintaining peace between the System Lords and other more powerful races. As Thoth's lotar you will see most of them if not serve them as well as him. Ma'at, Promithius, Hermes, Selene, Wen-Chang, Ma-Mian, and Shaka all together make up the Eight of the Green Scroll.The Eight are the judges in any major matter, they create the treaties, and each has taken a vow to only hold ten star systems or ten billion people. Each refuses to be a god to their people, but expect that their people at least pay lip service to the grand stories of the greater Gou'ald. said Demicles who had a distinct Greek accent.
Why are you telling him all this? He's a lotar, or will be after Mik'ek, Serket, and Thoth will teach him everything he will need to learn then they will place him over all humans in service to Thoth. one called out with a lilt to his voice which sounded vaugly Japanese. Daniel looked and saw that the man seemed rather angry and would not be a friend to him.
Ki, give the child a chance, said Demicles, He's got a heart that would please Ma'at and can't you see the hunger to learn that rivals even Promethius?Yes, but that doesn't mean I'm happy about having to deal with a child as speaker for Thoth. Ki said, It is nothing against you, child, but Thoth has never taken a lotar before, he has always dealt with us directly or through the Jaffa.I see, it's about respect. Daniel said and Ki nodded.
Daniel picked at the hem of his robe as he thought about all the information he had just been given and how he fit into it all.
I'm never going to see Earth or Abados again, am I? whispered Daniel, knowing he sounded like a child crying in the dark.
That's right. Abados is Ra's land and Erff, I've never heard of it. said Senna.
I found writings on Abados, they called Earth the First Home, I think Earth as a name came later after the Abadonians were taken. Daniel said and the scribes all looked nervous.
You're of the Tau'ri? Daniel nodded at Ki's question.
Ra is not going to be happy with Thoth is he finds out. Demicles said to Senna who nodded.
asked Daniel.
Ra declared your world to be forbidden, all slaves who were born there to be his alone. Thoth was told that he could take a few slaves from Abados, and I'm guessing he had no idea that you were Tau'ri. Antser said with a frown, We must concoct a story, if Thoth is found to have a new Tau'ri then his life is forfeit.It is good that you bargained for your guards' lives. Senna said, Only Ra may kill what is his.Wait a minute. Ra could just up and deside to kill Thoth because of where I was born? But he probably has no idea. Can't he just say he didn't know? Plausable Denyablity?No. If Ra wishes to kill Thoth, it will be because of something else, but you could be his official reason for doing so. Ki said, Yu does this all the time.Oh God, what have I done to earn this? Daniel moaned as he curled up and the scribes smiled at him. They knew that Thoth was the least of all evils and if this was what he wanted as a lotar then they would help hide the boy's origins.

Mik'ek looked over the curled up form of his lord's newest slave. The boy was sleeping while sitting and clutching a summerisation text of some other Gou'ald's annules. All around the boy's table and chair were scrolls and books with scraps of paper marking pages or piles of paper with his notes. The boy had spent the past two days doing nothing but study in the room and now that the ha'tac was finally in hyperspace and there was little left for him to do, he had sought out his lord's future lotar.
He was surprised when he saw two days worth of meals left out side the door, untoutched. Troubled when he saw the bed that looked like it had never been used, but now he understood. The boy was very much someone his lord would bless and praise, but these behavoirs would destroy the human child.
Wake up, young one. Mik'ek nudged the child. The boy swatted at him and muttered something that would have been offencive if it weren't so scrambled by the child's exaustion. Instead it came off as something his wife would have called cute'. Mik'ek sighed.
He knew this was going to make the boy hate him, but he had more important worries. So he picked him up, cradled the boy's lean form and started pealing off all but his first layer of clothing. Then he sat the boy in the water cascade closet and turned on the flow to the outlets which drenched the boy and woke him.
Sputtering and curcing in so many tounges that Mik'ek was a bit in awe, the boy came out and gave the first prime a dark look. Then he looked at himself and seemed to be remembering something.
Holy crap! I forgot! No wonder there was a discrepancy in the annules and in the chronicle. Shit! The boy ran out, ignoring everything as he stripped out of the wet clothes, picked up a thick robe and slung it on. Then the boy started writing, reading, and talking to himself about lost pages and historical blunders of the worst kind.
Mik'ek sighed, it was going to be a long day.
