Description
My only memory. Nothing more than a still image. Blurring and fading in and out of existence. Those lights. I cannot forget those lights... Two of them, redish orange in front of me... A pressure against my paw. Pressure surrounding me. A rush against my sides. Water fighting to keep me within its grasp and yet something else refuses to let it. I can’t breathe now. There is no air to take in. It hurts yet I’m too weak to do anything. The feeling of being dragged against a raging current. Up and up and up... and then... I wake up.I wake up and I’m on the shore... and there’s a lady looming over me. She asks my name... I do not know... I know only of that memory and a single word - Gracidea. The flower, the hair clip. It’s important... but how so? I don’t know. Gracidea. It doesn’t feel right. But nothing feels right. Everything is gone. Or maybe it didn’t even exist? I don’t know. I don’t know and that’s the problem. She offers to help me. A place to stay in exchange for my assistance with something. A problem child. But first I have to prove my worth to her.
The following months were spent working hard. Learning... Cleaning, stacking, supervising. Anything asked would be done. Until finally... the woman approached once more. Her figure tall and imposing as she stared down at me with those half-lidded eyes. I had received word of her arrival to collect me. Of the monumental task I was to be bestowed. I was ready.
“Now listen.” Her voice smooth as silk, still icy cold as she paced around me, not allowing me to look her in the eye for a moment. “You have more than proven your trustworthiness and ability to learn. Are you sure you’re up to the task?”
“I shall try my best, my lady! I shall sooner lose my life than have her injured on my watch.”
“Pray tell, what are the rules she needs to abide by?”
“No sneaking out, no ventriloquism, no tail on the table, no ...” the list continued for a good long while, perfectly recalling each and every one of the rules that Lady Min needed to follow. Eventually, I reached the end and the tall girafarig stared down at me with a smile and a nod. “She is in her room down the hall. You are to begin work immediately, hurry to it. I do not permit any dawdlers on my staff.”
“Yes, my lady, of course.”
