Our beast hero, Jaus, has decided to enter it today.

He doesn't want to bother Jera or Rui so he quietly left them to sleep. He ordered the maids and butlers to keep their mouths shut about where he has gone off to.

He went just a few hours before he usually would have "woken up".

When the girls woke up they began a panic when they couldn't find him and the maids swore never to tell the girls and the girls secluded themselves in their rooms.

Their protector suddenly dissapeared before they could get familiar with the mansion completely.

But Jaus was already... In the library.

He walked towards where he heard the hiss come from.

He walked and saw many books, many skeletons, many robes what looked to be for mages or cultists.

He saw a big door... It had a snake's head engraved into it and when he opened the door... He found a lamia there.

Lamia's are snakes with their upper body being human. They are stronger,faster and more capable of using magic than humans.

The Lamia was chained up to the floor in the middle of what seemed like a ritual area.

The Lamia spotted Jaus entering and immediatly started hissing at him.

Jaus: "Lamia. Why do you use hostility the moment I come in? Do you know who I am?"

Lamia: "You... You don't smell human... You smell like a beast... But you are in human form... What are you?"

Jaus: "All will be explained in due time Lamia. What are you doing here?"

Lamia: "Chained up... The mages outside experimented on me. They died when... Their own shot them with fire magic and ultimately killed themselves too. 50 years ago."

Jaus: "Hmm? So you've been here for over 50 years. What did they experiment on you?"

Lamia: "Making... Half... Lamians..."

Jaus: "Hmm... So they were unpure mages huh."

Lamia: "Save me beast... I know you aren't like them... You have the aura... You seem... Like you won't betray me... You seem... Wait... You... I know you... I saw you when I was being dragged to this area... Well your beast body atleast..."

Jaus: "So you passed through that town huh? And saw me... The Corrupt Divine Gorilla?"

Lamia: "So that's what you call yourself... I saw what beasts call you. The Betrayer huh... What have you done to the Beast Kingdom to make them that mad at you."

Jaus: "Killed over half of their army once."

Lamia: "Half... That... Is... A lot... You must be strong..."

Jaus: "That was 700 years ago."

Lamia: "700... The age when beasts still ruled the world... And you kept the humans from dying? A single beast..."

Jaus: "The wrath is my power. The hatred for beasts and humans a like gives me courage."

Lamia: "What about half-beasts half-humans like Lamia?"

Jaus: "Don't know about them. There were no halves when It was 700 years ago."

Lamia: "Well the first half appeared 534 years ago... When the humans had already captured a cored beast..."

Jaus: "Want me to free you?"

Lamia: "It would be great... My name is Nil by the way..."

Jaus crushes the bars holding the weak Lamia. The Lamia collapses to the floor immediatly.

Jaus: "No power huh. Might as well take you up. You will be safer there than in this dusty place. A mages library..."

Jaus brings the collapsed Lamia out of the library and the maids scream at the sight of seeing Jaus holding a Lamia.

Jera immediatly rushes outside to see why they screamed and Rui does the same.

Jera: "JAAAUUUS! Why did you leave me! You do know that every princess has atleast 2 royals afture them! What would have I done when a royal was coming here to propose to me!"

Rui runs to Jaus and hugs him tightly.

Jaus: "Hmm... I was just exploring the library. I found Nil the Lamia there. She's quite weak though. The mages downstairs who are now dead wanted to make half-lamian half-humans... I wonder why. But that is no matter to me."

Jera: "Half... Lamians? But aren't Lamians already half beasts themselves?"

Jaus: "Indeed they are. I don't know anything about the mages. They were dead when I got there. Well... Let us get Nil to a bed and get her treated. She is quite weak for being starved for 50 years and then experimented on aswell. It's a miracle she is still alive. Maid. Please take her to one of the resting places and feed her. I don't know what Lamians like though..."

Maid: "Yes Lord Jaus! I will immediatly!"

The maid calls for 2 guards to assist her carrying the Lamia. They carry her to one of the guest beds in the house and begin to take care of her.

Jera: "What was down there anyways..."

Jaus: "Books what were over 50 years old. The place was filled with cobwebs and dust though. I think the royal librarians would be VERY interested in this room. Should we tell them about this?"

Jera: "I'll send a messenger... By the way Jaus... I got a message from my father... We won't be staying here for long. We will be going to the royal academy nearby. Rui is coming with us too"

Jaus: "Academy? Us three?"

Jera: "Indeed. We don't know much about you but we know a lot about Rui... We need your second name Jaus... Your family name."

Jaus: "I have none. All of my relatives are dead by now anyways."

Jera: "No family name huh... Well you are over 700 years old. You still look 14 though. We will just say you are 15... Rui is too young so she will be your servant..."

Jaus: "Hmm... What about the manor though?"

Jera: "It will continue to be under our vision."

Jaus: "And how will I get in. The royal academy is for royals only right? I have no right there. I only own this manor because I won it. I am no royal. And royals own way more than a manor right."

Jera: "You are going to be a special case."

Jaus: "Interesting. What about Nil though? Can half-beasts even become Royals?"

Jera: "I'll inform my father that she will be one of your servants as well..."

Jaus: "Good. When are we leaving?"

Jera: "A few days from now. Prepeare your things... Also the academy clothing has already been delivered."

Jaus: "Ok... I will prepeare for that."

Jaus leaves with Rui still hugging him tightly and Jera leaves too.

They are prepearing for the trip to the Academy.

What will the academy be like? How many troubles with Jaus get into? We will find out.
