’ I replied with a smile of my own, trying to be pleasant. ‘I see the guards last night took good care of you.’ Herulia asked with just the hint... of a raised eyebrow. I got the impression that she knew something about what had happened last night, but for the moment she said nothing. ‘Yes they did. They took pity on me I guess and decided to clean me up a bit.’ I replied pleasantly, ignoring the inference of Herulia’s comment. ‘Is that all?’ Herulia added with a more pronounced lifted eyebrow. I could not afford such fragility when others looked toward me for strength and leadership.I pushed Lanis away and slowly got to my feet.The leader of the armed men looked at me with much more friendliness in his eyes than before.“The ways of the Stone always drain your energy," he said. "We can look after you. But you must come with us. The High Druid will want to talk with you.”Considering our situation, I didn’t think we had much choice. Inwardly sighing, I resigned myself to explaining what. Now all of you who are reading thinking what an idiot, but the fact remains that I used to have morning wood every morning, had no control over my erections and didn’t understand as to why looking at girls now made me go hard. It was 2002 and I had gained controlled over my raging boners after reading various biological books (and yes I was and am quiet nerdy), I had been able to deduce that my body was going through changes. The next thing I did was watch a couple of pornos to understand how. . I thought to myself. I grab my phone from my nightstand and quickly scroll through it for any new messages, there's only one... from him. I shut my eyes as I push back the tears and I set my phone back on the nightstand, trying to get rid of any thoughts about my old school from my head. It's a new town, a fresh start, and I plan on making the most of it. My feet shuffle across the carpet floor with my legs dragging behind me as I rush into the bathroom, nearly tripping over the dirty laundry.
