I woke up in a dimly lit room, still feeling dizzy I got up, but fell down onto the cold floor. I got up and sat on where I woke up which was a bed made out of stone, once my vision started to become clear, I started to look around. The walls are made out of stacked stones that is quite moist, the only source of light was the hole above the room.
"Where am I?... I thought I died..." I was actually eaten by a pack of birds that are the size of a car. I touched my stomach on where I was gutted and noticed that it was quite healed, but the feeling of a wound was still there.
"Was it stitched? Hmm interesting..." I can't feel the pain anymore and it actually feels quite nice. Once I observed the room which was still dark, for me, I got up and walked to the walls, but I fell from a sudden pull on my neck.
"What's this? A collar?..." I touched the steel around my neck and was surprised that I didn't noticed it. I also realize that the collar was warm and was attached by a chain that connected to the bed on where I used to lay.
"What the-"
"Ahahaha! You've woken up now!" I looked up while trying to block the brightness radiating from the hole and saw silhouette, a slim figure that was quite voluptuous.
"Um.. A-Are you the one that saved me?" I stuttered. My eyes were starting to adjust to the light so I stopped covering my eyes.
"Hmm.. Yes! It was I that saved your poor soul!!" She said with enthusiasm, along with that she raised her arms while giving herself praise.
A case of theft: this story is not rightfully on Amazon; if you spot it, report the violation.
"Then I would like to thank you, if there's anything I coul-”
"AHAHA!!! I don't need your thanks!!, but instead I need you!! Yes you!! Be my servant, my slave, my student or perish here!!!"
I was cut off from my sincere thanks and was replied with an astounding proposal that was so stupid. I didn't want to do it, but I had no choice.
"... But.." I was gonna decline, but judging from my current situation which was me being chained up in this makeshift prison, I decided to accept her proposal, but before I did I asked her this. "But what will I get in return, to be your serving, slave and student. What will I get? Until I'm free."
"Don't worry peasant I won't keep you for long, all I want is to make you my protégé. To be able to have a student is my long life dream, so be my student or die here!"
I thought about it and thought that she really was desperate, desperate enough that she forgot about the slave and servant part.
"What exactly am I going to learn from you?" At least it doesn't hurt asking.
"He~he~ MAGIC!!!" When the word magic escaped her mouth, I repeated it with a low-spirited voice. The chains started to crack and the cracks were glowing and in an instance The chains broke, but the collar remained and a sudden gust of wind blew me out of the room.
"You have got to be kidding me!!!" I was screaming in midair on how ridiculous it was to learn magic.
"Congratulations!! You are my first pupil!!!"
