Estou fazendo essa merda por mim

He took us in the house. It was filled with golden ornaments and many other rare things I'd never seen before. I was only snapped out of it by the noise of the entrance door being shut. "Boy, why's your brother so slow?" he asked. I turned back and realised what he meant. We were at the other end of the main corridor while he was a quarter of the way past the entrance. I ran back and dragged him to us. "Is he good at anything?" he asked. I thought hard he really wasn't, except. "He's good at noticing wierd animals, like the caldon boar or something" I said. I'd done all I could, now it was up to him. "You mean the red boar?" he asked pointing at a painting. It had a painting of the madame standing next to a chained Red boar. "Yea, he said it was sent to ravage another's land".

"Interesting and what about you?" he asked turning to face me, "What to you offer to the great house of Sparta?".

"I can sing and play instruments" I said standing up proud. He grinned and signalled for me to follow him.

We went up the stairs and into a room. He pointed at some clothes and said, "choose". I looked around. One of them was probably based off rock and emo, another which was overly baggy. I skipped through most until I reached the last which was a plain white shirt. "I'd like to take this". "Very well, now sing me a song, classical maybe, go get a violin" he said pointing at a corner. To my luck I'd learnt to play violin, piano and guitar. I began to play a violin concerto, a song my mom had taught me, one of the two that I knew, called... I forgot. I stopped playing, how could I forget the song my own mom taught me. How could I forget the name my mom gave me. I snapped back. "Hey, why'd you stop, you were doing good but either way, let me show you your dorms and also you'll be practising with the first to third butler of music" he said going up the painfully long stairs that led to the second floor.

We reached the dorms, it was a large room filled with beds and at the end there was another room. Han and me slept on a bunkbed, I was obviously at the top since Han would probably fall off the stairs. "And now follow me to the butlers of music's room. Around the place where many instruments; guitars, pianos, violins, trumpets, drums and many others. In the centre sat a man with a strangely long moustache and hair which made him look like he was from the renaissance. "Meet Noelpan, the first butler of music" said... I forgot to ask for his name. I turned to him a little embarrassed and asked "What's your name?".

"I forgot to tell you, my name is Delaever pronounced Delaver " he said turning me back and pushing me towards the butler. He stopped playing his tune and opened up an eye. "Hello, are you a new butler of music?"

"Yea Delaever told me that you'd be teaching me how to play properly". He looked around the room before getting up and stomping his foot against the wooden floor as if he was some sort of military commander," I will but tell me about the instruments that you don't know how to play. I looked around, "the guitar". He started off by telling me each string cord and the sound they made. He then taught me about the five basic strumming patterns. Then I had to tune my ears which took me two weeks. In the meantime Han had started to prepare for his first expedition. He had to take the boar to the land it had to "ravage" without being noticed. Han had also been taught to speak a big better and now didn't have those long pauses. After about a month, Han had departed and I had my second job. We had to perform for one of the lord's party.

We began to rehearse for the song, "Honour the lord". We rehearsed about three times in the span of a month. Then the day came. The conductor stood in the middle. Above us, the other lords and madams sat along with their families. Tension filled the air. I had a violin in hand some had the piano five had harps and three had the bells. The conductor waved his baton slowly. I focused on him and the baton began to grow wilder almost to the point where they reminded me of the soldiers. As I stopped, so did the song. The families began to clap and cheer. They left the room and it grew silent. Through the walls, you could hear them party and drink. We packed up and brought the instruments back into the music room. It ended up better than I thought. I also did well for someone my age... how old was I again. What the fuck. How did I forget all of this. Could I not enjoy one moment? Every time I do something good, this happens.

I felt a tap on my shoulder. "Hey kid you did well for your first performance". I turned around and saw Delaever. "Thanks, also where did you send Han?" I asked. Apparently the neighbouring country wasn't too far away from the tower. "I sent him to the neighbouring country, I don't know why he's taking so long. Suddenly we heard a knock that came from the window. I opened the curtains and there Han was, dangling on the little ledge. The butlers pulled him in. "Hans, what happened?". He was drenched and he looked as though he'd seen a ghost. He gasped for air before saying, "I met father, he said that he'd destroy the house of Sparta". He grabbed me and dragged me out. "Wait!", he looked back and saw Delaever, "If you're going to leave then let me give you your final payment" he said before jumping down. "Also, I've got something to tell you", I held my breath waiting for him to finish his sentence, "My dad is the grand Elder, I'm planning to meet him and I think he has something to do with your family, are you okay with that" I gulped and nodded.

He went back in and half an hour later came out with four bag. He also decided to bring his little sister along, probably to save her from Han's dad. "I have a request though, could we watch the rain while it's falling down".
