7 Not supposed to know!!!!

He was confused. Is Minerva the team of people and some creatures or the building in which these people were??

But whatever it was, the rotunda was perfectly round. It had a lounge in the centre. There were a couple of flights of stairs that led to the second floor of the building, which was lined with chambers. The rotunda had seven statues, which looked like people with wings, circling the lounge. The second floor had a railing, where you could stand and watch what was going on in the lounge below.

He looked around, taking in every single bit of the lounge.

"Alright!!Listen up!!" Nienna called, with a whole load of authority in her voice.

The people and the creatures in the lounge all stopped their cheering and wild celebration and turned to look at Nienna.

"We have a new member among us!!" Nienna said.

"Who is he??" came the reply.

"Anselm said he lost his memories so he can barely tell us his own name!!" Nienna looked at him, "can you??" she asked.

"I...uh....I.....uh....I don't know!!!"

His answer was greeted by a round of wild laughter, which echoed in the room.

"Hello there,young lad!!" one of them stepped forward.

He had short black hair and black eyes. He was dressed in an armour that was moulded in some way that wasn't humane. His eyes were coal red and menacing.

He observed him from head to toe and back again as if mocking him. He looked displeased at the sight of this young man.

"So, Nienna has got herself a new lover!!" he scoffed.

"Watch your mouth, Tristan!!" Nienna warned.

Well, he was pleased with the idea of being Nienna's lover because he already liked her.

"Okay!!" Tristan, the one with black hair, threw his hands in the air in give-in.

"Welcome to the league!!" one of them said.

In total, they were about twelve of them. They all were clad in some kind of clothes and armour of a different make.

What surprised him most was.....

"How can twelve people live in such a large place??" he asked, turning to Nienna.

"Currently, the captain is out with a group of other knights!!We are taking a rest and healing from the wounds!!" Nienna replied.

The others went back to their business, just like as if seeing newbies was a daily routine.

"Which wounds??" he asked,looking at the team.

They didn't look like they had any wounds or like they were hurt in some way. They all looked healthy and lively.

"The wounds healed super fast, much more than yours healed!!" Nienna said, leaning against the guard railing.

He had completely forgotten what he looked like some time back. What had been a mess of wounds was now a soft and fine surface. He almost felt no pain, infact,he felt nothing.

"What exactly are we??" he asked,puzzled.

He might have seen something like that before but he forgot everything,so he was awash again.

"We were fighting like usual, one bloody morning in the far north of Concordia, when you came out of nowhere and....."

"Stop right there!!!" a strong firm familiar voice cut her off.

Oh no!!She was about to give me answers,just now!!Who the heck is that?? He turned around only to find Anselm standing a distance off.

When the team saw him, they quickly stopped what they were doing and stood upright in one position, except for him.

"What are you all doing here??" Anselm asked,taking a few steps into the rotunda.

"Nothing,sir!!" Nienna bowed.

"Oh Duke Nienna!!What exactly were you telling him just now??" Anselm asked, his expression changing to a tough one.

"He asked a question and I was telling him the answer!!" she bowed innocently.

"Now,let me make this clear to everyone!!This young man," he reached out a hand and held his shoulder," isn't supposed to know a thing from you!!He is,from now on, tasked to find answers on his own!!"
