《to reach the pinnacle: Etheria》Chapter 53; Luna's experience over the times.
Advertisement
H-Hi! It's me again! Isl- Luna! I've been getting used to my new name recently, it's really hard. But I'm not too sad, my Master's real name 'Isla' is way better than anything to keep some kind of 'plan' in motion! Of course I won't say anything to my master, he's got things to do.
I don't want to be abondoned, I just want to be with my master. He's nice... Not really, but I can trust him. With him I feel... Nice. I was once told by him it was probably too do with my blessing and his skill, but I don't care. I like him, and that won't change.
Do I love him? I wondered to myself a few times, and I'm not sure.
When he brought a duo of good looking women I felt disrigarded, he put me in a corner, after which that he was upset I thought of them as worth more than dogshit. After which I felt better, I felt happy.
Recently I've been getting dressed up, from maid outfits to a lot of other things. One was what he called 'Anime commoner clothes' which went around his belly and back, and was held together with laces at the front. Some cloth went around others, I didn't really understand any of it. Master just said it was 'A way to gain a fashion sense!', what's a fashion sense? I don't know, I want to know too.
But at the end of the week he said "Why am I wasting my time on this, you're just a kid!? I'll try it out when you're a teen or something, take this robe, say it's uhhh.. Something found in some ruin! Yep, although it does look cool, my prestige can't take a hit, understood?" The robe was like a cloak, purple, but also fancy with gold trims. It was way to big for me, after realizing this he said "This is for the future you! I'll take this now, there's a... Friend that'll give it too you in a long while."
He took it without apology, I felt sad after that, but then remembered that lying to me was a waste of time. He'll get it back to me when I'm older! I believed that with my whole heart.
After a few days another duo joined us for a bit, I don't know what they were called since they were randomly chosen from the lower classes. I do remember a scene from the first one he chose.
"Eeny, meeny, miny, mo." He said relaxedly "You, I chose you!" He pointed at a girl with glasses, the girl that master graciously chose as his 'Vassle', dared to scoff and say "I do not work for tyrants, I will not slave for you! I will work only for Xerxes, I have pride as the best of the entire school in my generation."
But Master put her in her place "You? The best of this generation?" Master stiffled his laughter, he was so impressive "Aren't you little to close to being a frog in a well? I'm the best of this generation if you haven't heard, I'm the guy that can beat everyone up, and I'm the smartest out of them all! Plus, I'm the heir of the grand duke."

I was vibratting with happiness, that rude girl didn't get off easy! But it seemed that master wasn't done "Wait... Who are you again?" He said with complete confusion "I remember you said something about being the best of this generation... Then I said something about you being wrong... Why did you say that?" He seemed lost "I pointed randomly to someone with physique hair..."
Her confidence was completely crushed, after which master pointed at the duo that joined us, they had yellow and green hair. The yellow haired girl was energetic and the green haired one was gentler. I wasn't nervous that master wanted them, he's shown a complete disintrest in women. They weren't worthy of him anyways.
He set up a new hierachy with the new additions "Me, my drake, my lion, my dintyle army, my previous lackeys, my slave, you two, the two punching bags."
Master has... Secrets, like in the carraige. But I don't care, the things he does are cool. He makes explosives, he makes lights of varying color. He does sometimes make parts of my body hurt, sometimes I feel nausious. But there's not a problem with that, it's enough that he doesn't dislike my hair.
I like my master, he's friendly, as long as I don't do anything bad he's nice. My master is scary, when I'm bad he's cold and distant. But the good times out weigh the bad, I once jumped into master's bed in the heat of the moment. He said "I'm angry that you did without permission." I remembered that yesterday.
I asked him about that "Hmmm... Let's say... You know I have a test in school. It's certain I'll do it perfectly, and I have the memory to memorize it perfectly. I'll rewrite it here, and if you do it perfectly, which is a hard if, I'll let you do it for a night." I was super excited, I ran away with ignorance too the truth behind, which I would be happy about when I was older.
I felt a looming doom roll over me, I looked back at master. He was smiling, weirdly. I felt dread looking at it, but I smiled back.
When I left I heard faint cackling, only faint.
A few weeks past and I was at a road block, I hadn't gotten the perfect score, again and again. It was a vacation, master was scowling at meeting his mother. But then he looked into the open air and became happier. I was happy since he was happy, me being happy was good.
When he came home he saw his little brother which he dissed without any warning "What is this disgusting waste product? Why isn't this in the rubbish bin?" He pointed at his little brother, which waved it's arms and touched his hand. Master lashed his hands back "Shit, shit, shit. What kind of diseases could I get from this thing, where's the wash table!"
When he was told that the baby was his brother, he just looked at his parents with pity, no disbelief, no embaressment, just pity. He walked to his father and reached up to Duke's shoulder "You're going to be ok, I'll help you get through this." He said with sadness and determination. He quickly spun his head to his mother "With how mother's mental state was before... She's a lost cause, she's gone. That isn't mother anymore, but a crazed manic. You need to let go."

Master started to laugh hartily "Oh! You should've seen your faces! That was hillerious, but the part about mother was... No, you don't need to know about that... Yet."
He completely defused the situation "But seriously, get that thing which I should call my brother away from me, it's disgusting."
He completely disregarded his brother's existence and jumped into dungeons with me, he shot dark projectiles with slight purple edges at the beasts. When I asked what they were called, he told me they were 'darkness bolts'. I liked them, I wanted to use them, but I didn't have the confidence to ask to be taught.
I was happy with just being able to watch it and see how cool master was, he bled a lot. He got a new beast, he left it in the dungeon for some reason.
He left a lot of beasts in the dungeon, a lot "Do you want a beast?" I nodded without thinking.
The next thing I knew, I got a swan as my beast. I kind of got lost in the moment, master was close to me, I felt happy.
Then master left, I felt sad. He wasn't there for a while, I felt sad, I felt tortured. I felt abandoned, I felt as if every second was days long, I wanted it too stop. I... Didn't want to be alone. I wasn't alone, I was with the other servants and slaves, I had some of the old friends I made. But it wasn't the same, I want my master.
One day a girl came along, she was a commoner genius, I was told by the other slaves. She came up to me and tried to start a conversation, I was happy with it. But then she started to ask about master, about things he told me not to say. So I didn't say it, I don't want him to be angry at me.
In the middle of the conversation, master walked in with a frown on his face. The genius girl stepped back nervously, master kicked her in the shin before picking her up by the neck "This is why child geniuses should just be put into the dirt, they're to confident in themselves. Breaking the rules they just, shouldn't. Like; Don't investigate me, ever." Master slapped and slapped over and over again.
When he released his grip, all that was left of the once cute face was a bloodly mess. Master wispered to a servant that ran away after which, who returned a few seconds later with a few crates of liquor. Master took out a few bottles and forced them down the genius's gullet "Drink all the memories away, until you black out without recollection of what happened."
He whispered to a slave and got them to force feed alcohol to the child genius for a while, master is scary. But I feel happy around him, I don't want him to be angry, I don't want him to be sad.
I didn't tell him about my sadness, and I enjoyed me being in his company. I lost track of time, and a year passed. I don't know what happened to the girl, she dissapeared from my sight.
One day a commoner I made a friend, I liked talking to him, not as much as master. But a way to pass the time nonetheless, he seemed nervous around me. I didn't know why, but now it's obvious.
A long while later he brought me into a place without others, he became nervous and anxious. He slowly turned around, and said "L-Luna..." He steeled himself and choose his words "Luna! I like you! Will you be my girlfriend!"
I was confused, wasn't I already his friend? What's the difference from now and being his girlfriend? I didn't know, I asked him to wait for a bit as I figure out my answer "Wait for me here!"
I ran over to where master has been sitting the entire time between classes, infront of the statues of the past heads and pictures of past uniforms of the school trying to build up a fashion sense. But I'm sure he's doing cool stuff with his 'magic' too. What even is magic, I wanted to know but he just waved it off with me not having high enough intelligence or a good enough guideline to follow.
He once told me he was planning on teaching me magic one day though, I'm happy at that.
I ran over too me, even with how panicked and unintelligible my words were, master still understood and said "A boyfriend and a girlfriend are in a pair, it's not just 'friends', it's something extra. Friendship turned to a higher level with a sprinkling of romance, so most people see it as the level before marraige and all that. But I don't, between there's the 'lover' level, boy/girlfriends aren't too sure about their feelings, while lovers are enough to kiss and have a bunch of sexual encounters without shame."
I asked him what I should do, I didn't understand it all. Master said it matter of factly "Just do it, and live life a little, of course, you can just not. I don't really care, just make sure you're a virgin, being a virgin is never being penetrated by a rod or something in your two holes. Just don't allow that, and I really don't care what else you do."
I was then ignored as he pondered on fashion, I choose to accept after pondering.
