God-King Arising

10 years later.

Adaceus, blinked awake in the early rise of the sun, the morning light edging him to come alive and rise from his bed, helped also by the little blue light that undulated light for him to be awake. With a hoarse and dry groan he forced himself awake, swatting away the blue light and stopping it from flashing that annoying flashing. He rose up to see the room he was in. It was the same room Adaceus stayed in when they first got here, but save with a few changes that were added to it. Firstly was the black wood wardrobe that was on one side of the wall, within its contents were the brae minimums of cloths, and from the desk and chair that he read from frequently had a few new books added on it's shelf.

He walked sluggishly toward it, and carefully arranged the books as it was cluttered from the night of reading before, and that was also the reason why he was tired. After finally placing the books back in place, he gave a quick stretch before moving on to a mirror that hung just beside the desk. 

He took a good look at himself, ragged and disheveled with his clothes wrinkled from the night before. He had his bare head exposed, which was now a floating skull that hovered on his shoulders, that flickered a gentle flame, with the same charred black color, where in one of the sockets a little red marble that was placed in it.

Further he saw from his white shirt his exposed gray flesh, which was still thin and wiry, but was still toned with muscle from the years of training he had undergone, and he also grew to a considerable size. He was incredibly exposed standing here, but as the years gone by without a sudden intrusion happening, he was at ease, and with the cover story about him being cursed, with the door locked, and the fact that the people here have the decency to knock before entering, he felt he was safe. 

"Alright, time to get to work," he declared in front of the mirror, performing another stretch.

He walked out of the steaming shower, finishing his bath and was dragging a towel to every nook of his body, rubbing vigorously to dry off. He entered a changing room of sorts and threw the towel on the sink, and picked something up that he placed here before entering. It was a sort of skin tight black shirt that was elastic in its material that was tailored to exactly his size. It was commissioned by Ingridt a few years back for the purpose of hiding and covering his skin, almost like an outer layer that helped conceal his condition, and he has worn this ever since.

He put it on, and continued to put on his other clothes. He put on his trousers and wrapped a belt around it and fastened it in the middle, next, he dressed himself in a white long sleeve shirt, and a black vest on top of it, before lastly putting on his metal gloves and formal shoes, and with a specially made mask that replaced his metal helmet before. It was the same material that made his vest, and it perfectly suited his smooth skull with a special design of a purple X in the face of it, and he put it on, and with the last checks of his cloths, he was done.

And what he wore was a sanctioned uniform that signified his job as a butler of the Blaidhund household. Why this happened was because when he was offered to stay here years back, Adaceus felt that staying here for free was a bit too generous for him and asked for a working position so he could earn his stay. Ingrdt and Hainan refused as they said being a student under Ingridt was enough, but Adaceus felt to uncomfortable, and before long they gave him the position of Hainan's personal assistant, and that's what his job was for all these years.

He exited the room and proceeded to the help's room.

He opened the door, and saw Enid there cooking a meal on top of a stove, stirring a pot of food. 

"Good morning Mrs. Enid," Adaceus greeted.

She turned to him in surprise, "Oh! Hello there Ada, sorry, I didn't hear you!"

"Its fine, Mrs. Enid, I'm just here to get my breakfast so I can get to work."

"Its a bit early though, isn't it?"

"Its alright, I just feel like readying up early today. Its a fine morning, you should enjoy it."

"Oh, sweet boy, I will, Ada," and she gave him a tender smile. She had grown older since the years, now with a bit more gray in her hair and wrinkles on her face, and she was a bit more frailer than before, but still continued to work as a maid in this household.

He then proceeded to walk across the room toward a crate that was on the wall, opening it and grabbing a small container before going to another room. It was a container full of food, and he took it to another room just at another wall. He went inside of it and it was just a room full of crates, filled with vegetables and meat, this was a storage room, and Adaceus used it as his own eating quarters so he could breakfast without the revealing his face. 

Adaceus made sure to lock the door behind him, and grabbed a nearby chair and placed the container on top of one of the crates. He sat himself and unlatched the lid of his container to reveal it full of food, a sort of stew of meat and veggies, and ate it all in silence.

Finishing his meal, Adaceus advanced toward where Hainan room was, knocking on it with loud taps on the door.

"Hainan! Sir, its morning!" He yelled, tapping the door again with another set of knocks. A few moments he stood there, until the door was opened by an exhausted looking man in his boxer underwear and robe.

"What is it, Ada?" Yawning he said this. 

"Its morning sir."

"Nghh~, but its still early though," Hainan complained, groaning. 

"C'mon Hainan, still complaining after all this time? You should've gotten used to it by now."

He leaned his body to the door, murmuring, "Never!"

"C'mon, dear, listen to the boy," another ragged voice sounded, that of a woman. A tall and slender woman approached the both of them wearing a robe, and she placed her arm on Hainan's shoulder. 

"Good morning, Mrs. Ingridt," Adaceus bowed.

Ingridt nodded, "Morning Ada."

She turned to Hainan, who was groveling on the doorway, "Lets get ready, you and I, dear, you have a lot of work to do after all."

"Nhh, it not fair~" he groaned. 

"I know," said Ingridt in a gentler, reassuring voice, kissing him on the cheek. Hainan gave in, and slowly got ready, making Adaceus leave as his job was done.

Adaceus continue on with his morning duties, stopping at another room and opened the door without knocking. He went inside, into a colorfully painted room that was a bombardment of bright colors, and saw two bed's that were placed across form each other. He walked over too one of them, and saw a girl laying there, sleeping. He gently nudged her shoulder, shaking her awake. Her purple and pink eyes slowly opened, and her soft voice spoke out, "Brother?"

"That's right, its me Fiora, its time to wake up now and get ready for school."

"Nh, but I'm still tired."

"C'mon, you're going to be late if you don't hurry up, Rinita's going to come get you guys soon so you best be getting ready."

"Fine, but you better give me some candy when I get back."

"I will," he laughed, "But that's only after you go to school."

 And slowly, she rose up, rubbing her eyes and yawning, revealing her sharp fangs. Adaceus continued to the other bed, where Agie slept, and she saw her laying there like a cat on rubbish. He also shook her awake, and after opening her eyes, she exclaimed filled with energy, "Brother! G'mornin!" And she pounced at him, hugging him to his shoulders and tightening up. 

"Morning to you too, now let go and get ready, there's breakfast ready so go."

"Alright!" She said while giggling. 

Adaceus placed her down the floor, and ran in circles merrily, laughing about the floor.

"My, you are energetic today, Agie," a sudden voice sounded.

"Rinita!" Agie rushed toward her, painted in her face a big smile, jumping and planting herslef into Rinita for a hug.

"Good morning, Rinita," Adaceus greeted her.

"Yes, morning to you too, I was just going to wake them up, but I guess you beat me to it."

"Sorry bout that, I woke up early so I just got the chance, can you still get them to school?"

"Of course, it's always a pleasure."

"Thank you."

After finally completing the thing's to do today, with the girls readying themselves to go to school, Adaceus finally proceeded unto the other task's the new day had brought. 

Firstly was the accompaniment of Hainan during his work, which was mostly sorting out papers or on standby for another direct order, assistant work, but it was mostly a passive activity, filled with chatting and the such. Next was a training session that was held by Ingridt, a daily and grueling regiment, and he did not miss one of them. After that though was miscellaneous cleaning, and at the end of the day when the sun set, he tucked down the girls, reading them a bedtime story, before he himself went to bed. 

An thus was the daily schedule of Adaceus activities these past ten years.
