*Lifes luxuries always come at a price you see, whether it be gold, women, or fame. All comes at a price. Alchemists believed in equivalent exchange and by far it is the cloest thing to truth there is about this world. Well, I suppose this show should start shouldn't it? Very well mortal, then is shall begin.
I live in a place called Altasia. You see, Altasia was a fairly old town with very old technology. It was kept isolated from the rest of the world while it advanced so naturally it stopped in its tracks and became what is known as a 'Prehistoric area'. We do not have cars, electricity, nor telephones. You would think we lived in the 18th century but no, it is 2078, and the years keep going by. I am what you call a Count, or Lord. My estate is of the oldest and finest, carved of the best stone. I am, after all, the Lord of this little area and I do get benefits from such a title.
Now I remember the day as if it were yesterday, though it was, to be exact, 567 years ago. In my manor, my servants scurried about, readying for the new cook to arrive. My servants were young, there ages from six to eleven. Young i know but they knew there job and did them fairly well. Now as I recall it was sprinkling a bit as she arrived in horse carriage. The driver of the carriage was my personal servant named Michael Edinburgh. He was the only one, besides the new cook, that was an adult. I met him when he was just a whelp, his grey eyes tormented and glinted with his past tragedies. His entire town was murdered for being what they called 'witches'. It's fairly entertaining seeing how humans will turn on their own in fear isn't it? Anyways, I took him in. Being at such a young age of seven, he did not know much except field work and cutting wood. Years passed and I taught him the way of the servant, and he was such a good servant that he was nominated to be my personal servant. Where was I? Oh yes, the new cook... The carriage was dull in color and held no interest for the eyes, and the horse was an ugly shade of grey with blotches of black.
As I watched her arrive, one of my dearies came to visit me. She rushed in and smiled, her golden eyes and red hair bright and colorful as always. "Master, Master! The cook has arrived!" Her voice was innocent and young. I gave a simple nod and tapped the glass, showing her that I already knew. "I am so sorry Master, I did not know you were at the window." I gave another nod and let her out of my room, giving her some crumpets.*
