Mikayla followed Angus. Although outwardly she appeared the model of confidence inside her mind and heart were racing...screaming.
Magic...she didn¡¯t want to learn magic. She had been taught that magic was evil. That it would harm you. Turn your heart cold.
And so far it seemed a bit true...look at the dragon. What it did to him. It made him into a dragon turned him cruel...made Angus a man.
What would it do to her?
Then why did she say she would? Because she wanted to help.?
As angus opened the door she said. ¡°Angus do you like being a man?¡±
(Angus)
Angus paused in the doorway, somewhat taken aback by the question. He scratched his chin, looking thoughtful for a long moment as he pondered the question. ?
"To be honest, mistress," he said finally, looking back to Mikayla, "I'm not sure. As a man, I feel like I've dreamed that I was a dog, but that it was only a dream. But as a dog, I feel like I've dreamed that I was a man." He shrugged and began leading the way down the corridor.? "And so now, I wonder if I'm a dog dreaming that he's a man, or if I'm a man dreaming that he's a dog." He chuckled to himself as he favored her with a sidelong glance.? "I do know one thing, mistress.? A man definitely eats better than a dog."
The room in question was on the next floor up.? It had windows and a balcony that let in a lot of natural light, but also had sizeable candelabras if light in the evening was required. There was a large oak table with a polished surface on which a bookstand stood. There was also a large beaten-brass hanging gong positioned by the door.? The servant carefully placed the book he was carrying on the bookstand, then turned back to Mikayla. ?
"If you should require anything, mistress, just give a shout and I'll most likely hear it.? But if I don't, you can just give that gong a good whack. I'll definitely hear that." Angus bowed respectfully.? "Is there anything you need before I go?"
