Telluric and I had finally made it to Terramalorum, as soon as we made it to the entrance a large group of armed people rushed to Telluric one of the men saw me and aimed his sword at me which got him a swift chop from another man. This other man was clearly the leader of the armed guards as his uniform was a different colour.
“High Lord Telluric”
They all bowed.
“We are honoured by your swift return, if you allow it I will have the boy escorted to your manor”
“Thank you Reelo, I will make my way to the lake whilst you escort him”
He nodded his head and then Telluric disappeared again.
“Come now boy, you need to get ready for Telluric’s welcome home ceremony”
I was taken aback by the sudden mention of a ceremony, but honestly I shouldn’t have been surprised. He was practically the ruler of this whole region so it made sense that they would celebrate his return in a big way.
“Yes sir, but if I may ask a question”
“Go ahead”
He eyed me curiously.
“Why am I attending this ceremony when I don’t live here and I’m not a noble”
His brow rose higher.
“Forgive me boy but i was told by High Lord Telluric himself to treat you as a Greenfeather”

I had to hide my shock, when had Telluric gotten into contact with this man. And why had he told him that I was a Greenfeather.
“Ah I see, I asked him to hide my nobility but I suppose he thought it best to be honest about it.”
Considering what The Watcher had said and the fact that Telluric had already made the effort to hide my identity i thought this would be the best course of action.
“I understand, but hiding your nobility definitely would have been a problem considering that you will be living in the High Lord’s manor.
There would be an outrage with the public if you had been a commoner.”
I said nothing, telling everyone the truth would obviously not help me right now so I decided to just discuss it with Telluric later.
“Okay lets get going now”
I followed the man and his group through the city towards the gargantuan structure, the manor was surrounded by lustrous green gardens and many smaller buildings were on the estate.
We arrived at a large gate leading into the estate.
“Borius, open the gate”
The sound of air rushing through some kind of tube became evident, and a second later the large gate began to hum with energy. The sound was irritating but it didn’t last long because the gate started floating upwards slowly and hovered at the top of the wall surrounding the estate.
We continued through the gate and I heard it slam back into the ground after we all got through, the sound of rushing wind also went away with the thud of the gate closing.
“High Lord Telluric will be returning shortly, we must get you ready at once”
I followed Reelo into the main manor, he showed me to a gargantuan bedroom on the 4th floor.
The vibe of the room definitely reminded me of Telluric, it was noble but not in an over the top way and the large adornments made it clear that they belonged to a large man.
“Is this Telluric’s bedroom?”
“Not anymore, he hasn’t used this room since his father was the head of The Greenfeathers”
“And how long ago was that?”
“Long enough, I’m sure he will tell you himself if you ask”
He eyed the dresser curiously, hesitantly I walked towards the oversized cabinet and opened it.
“The clothes should fit you well, High Lord Telluric told us your measurements before you arrived so we could procure you some fitted”
I picked out a white suite with blue specks, the sunlight peering through the window made it shimmer with all the brightness of the northern lights.
“I will leave you here for now, make sure you’re ready before the High Lord arrives”
Reelo left me on my own, I continued to search through the closet finding more bejewelled clothing.
Eventually I decided to just wear the original suit that i found, but when I put it on the blue specks turned green. Its reacting to my nightmare for some reason.
