6 Welcome to Minerva!!

He didn't know where he gathered the courage but he followed her, jumping down the dome like she did, and besides, he trusted that beautiful creature already.

They say that trust is something that you can't earn easily, and that you work for it but he trusted her already, without letting her work for his trust.

The dome was held up by several strong columns with runic markings sculpted through them,just like the ones in that room.

Just about then, his face hit something really hard, something really really hard.

"Owf!!" he almost screamed in pain.

Then he realized he had hit the ground, that made it hurt more.

"Watch where you are going!!" the sweet voice came again.

That seemed to erase all the pain, because immediately it filled his ears, the fall hurt no more.

Quickly, he stood up and dusted himself off, only to realize he was standing on some sort of platform with a large runic symbol sculpted through it. The symbol looked like a human with wings but with a whole lot more symbols in it.

"The training platform!!" the voice came again.

The gorgeous girl was standing a distance off, leaning against the guard rail, looking at his puzzled expressions.

"What are you training for??" he asked, walking slowly while he observed the rune.

"You will know pretty soon!!" she smiled.

That smile again.....

Oh my goodness!!!!!!!!

Then he figured out he would ask this creature for answers. If he failed to get them out of the rest, atleast, she would give him a few because she looked kind and approachable.

"You said I was one strong creature, " he sounded pleased, " do you mind telling me why??" he asked, praying for answers.

"You already know why!!" she said, turning to leave.

"Why??" he asked, going after her.

"You don't need me to tell you!!" she said, taking to the stairs.

"By the way, for how long have I been locked up in there??" he asked.

"For about five days!" she shrugged, sounding unsure about it.

WHAT????He almost screamed out loud. He had been locked up for five days.

"Whoa!! Whoa!!Wait a minute!!" he couldn't believe his ears, "What are you talking about??"

"What did you ask then??" she stopped in her tracks and looked at him from those beautiful eyes. He almost collapsed to the ground when he looked into them, she was so hypnotizingly beautiful.

"I...uh... I don't understand!!" he stuttered.

"That is the prison and at the same time the treatment chamber!!" she said, continuing down the stairs.

Prison!! Treatment chamber!!!What is she talking about???

"Oh, and by the way, who are the knights??" he asked, trying to figure out which place this could be. It ranged from a brothel to a camp.

"You will see them only if you keep quiet!!" she said, sounding displeased with the questions he was asking.

He did as he was told. He kept quiet.

And then he saw it...

The lady or girl or.. by the way

"What's your name??" he asked, hopeful.

"Nienna!!" she replied.

Nine...Nina...Nienna was very curvaceous. And the one piece she was wearing brought out her curves very well and a whole lot more seducingly.

They went down a couple more stairs before they met a landing. Nienna led him to the right, towards some sort of rotunda on which another gargoyle, at the cupola, stood. The rotunda was built of some sort of fine material and had a sculpture of a person with wings standing at the front of it.

Nienna led him towards a brass door and pushed it open.

Anxiously, he walked into the rotunda after Nienna, who was already going up a flight of stairs, to the left.

It was dark inside where the stairs started but it started to become lighter as they approached the landing, which led towards a lounge where there were more people, who sat in the lounge, cheering as if to celebrate something.

"Welcome to Minerva!!" Nienna said.
