Strange images appeared before my eyes.
I was lying on the floor of one of them, dead or just unconscious!
At another I saw a man with white hair, he said something I didn't understand everything, only I could hear this one sentence clearly.
"You are now one of my vassals!"
On another I saw the man with the white hair again, he was holding a glowing string or something similar in his hand.
"That only hinders you!"
He cut the cord.
Another picture appeared.
A cylinder made of glass, filled with greenish liquid, there was something floating in it, a person!
The white-haired man reappeared, holding one end of the string, reaching through the glass as if it weren't there and pushing the end of the string into his body.
"That will make you strong!"
Next, the world went black around me.


When I opened my eyes I found myself in a room, a basement room, the room belonged to the school.
"What the hell?"
I raised my hand to my face and froze.
My thoughts flowed slowly and tenaciously, a lot of me think that dearly, but I knew one thing for sure.
"Not my hand!"
I had trouble speaking and could barely move.
Only now did I register that someone was standing next to me.
A woman with a strange pendant around her neck.
She had brown hair that was interspersed with a few blond strands, her face could be described as attractive and her red eyes fixed one on strange white ones.
There was disgust on her face!
"So you woke up."
Her voice was oozing with disgust.
"What happened?"
My thoughts slowly returned to their normal path, now I could move better again.
I sat up, my eyes happened to fall on a mirror that was hanging on the wall.
"What? …."
I wanted to say more, but I couldn't.
The young woman caught my eye and also looked in the mirror.
"That's what happened to us all. The first look is the worst, you get used to it!"
A young man looked at me from the mirror, red eyes, black hair and a strange pendant around his neck.
"The Lord has put our souls in new bodies. The pendant that you wear around your neck was made from the bones of your old body!"
I was still staring in the mirror.
The only thing I could get out was a weak why.
The strange woman looked at me again with that strange look.
"You want to know why? Well then listen carefully to me now, I will not repeat myself!
The Lord is one of many magicians who have come to town to play a game.
For this purpose the whole city was cut off from the outside world by magical means.
In order to be able to play this game, the masters, i.e. the magicians, need servants.
These servants are called vassals. The vassals are created by the masters, each master has his own methods, but human souls are required.And this is where we come in! We have been chosen to become the vassals of our Lord, our souls have been taken from our old bodies and put into these new ones.
Our lord has five vassals, with you there are six, but the master has let it be known that he is handing you over to his niece.
But now back to the ´game´!
The masters are fighting here for a magical artifact, the artifact has been divided into many individual parts, now the masters are fighting over who gets this artifact.
The city was divided into different districts by the masters, each of the masters administrating one.
Most people were made lowly subordinates, often also physically changed.
But we became vassals!
We are obliged to serve our Lord, a kind of loyalty spell ensures that we obey!
Any questions? "
A thousand questions burned on my tongue, but I was unable to say anything.
"Oh, why do I even bother !? Just come with me!"
I obeyed and got up.
For the first time I noticed my clothes, black trousers made of fabric, they widened towards the bottom, plus a large black coat that reached to my knees, under the coat I wore something like a harness, dozens of small bamboo tubes connected with red threads.
The woman walked out the door and set off without looking back at me.
I had to hurry to keep up with her, the hallways of the school seemed to me more winding and shabby than the last time!
In areas where it fell, the paint and plaster peeled off, exposing the bare wall.
"What's wrong with the school?"
I was more likely to ask myself that question, but the woman answered anyway.
"The school adapts to the lord! I mean that the lord transforms the school into a fortress with his magic, and gradually gets away from it."
Suddenly I asked myself a question.
"How long have I ... 'slept'?"
The look of disgust returned to her face.
"You 'slept' for almost three weeks. That is why you are so pathetic!
Somehow a feeling told me that I should be silent now.
"What is it, don't you dare to defend yourself?"
I felt that she was about to attack me, but I kept silent!
"Well, you don't want it any other way!"
She grabbed the bone pendant and tore it from her neck.
She whispered something to herself.
"Bones of Past Life, Awake!"
The air seemed to vibrate and recharge.
I saw how the pendant deformed, stretched and stretched in her hands.
The 'awakening' only lasted a tiny moment and although I had already expected something supernatural, I could not completely hide my surprise.
The woman was holding a scythe in her hands.
The scythe was an impressive size and I couldn't imagine that I would have been able to handle it.She probably didn’t like my surprise, because she attacked me without hesitation.
Her scythe fell and struck right next to me.
A man stood in front of me, with a silvery shining armor all over his body, his sword had blocked the scythe!
"Shouldn't you take him to the little lady? That will happen for you Katalena!"
"YOU! Damn it, get out of my way Gabriel!"
Katalena lashed out with her scythe one more time, but this time she didn't even hit it.
Gabriel suddenly stood in front of her and raised his sword to her throat.
"Go now! The master is already waiting for you, I'll take him to the lady!"
Reluctantly, Katalena let go of the fight, her scythe turned into a trailer again and she roared away!
"Follow me!"
Those were the only words Gabriel spoke the whole way, only when we stood in front of a door did he start talking again.
"The lady lives behind this door. Go inside, I'll be needed elsewhere!"
Gabriel disappeared as quickly as he appeared, an impressive speed.
No, probably rather scary.
I stopped for a while and thought about whether I should just run away, but what else should I have done afterwards?
With a sigh, I pushed the doorknob down and entered the room beyond!
Even if room wasn't the right name, the hall would have been more appropriate!
Spiegelkabinett would have been even better!
There were certainly a few hundred mirrors in the whole hall, they were standing or often just lying around, the walls were literally hidden behind the mirrors and there were even a few mirrors on the ceiling.
I was looking at a particularly elaborate mirror hanging from the ceiling when I made out a figure behind me.
I turned and faced a young girl.
The girl seemed to be sulking!
She had long black hair that she wore in a braid.
Her eyes were almost black and she exuded a childlike unconcern.
"Are you the lady?"
“Yes!” Comb the snotty answer.
The little one seemed pissed off.
"Then you are the mistress of this place !?"
"Yes!" that tone again.
"What do you have that little one?"
"What did you just call me? I'm your mistress so don't address me so disrespectfully!"
I couldn't help but grin.
I knelt in front of her.
"Yes, you are!"
I didn't know why I was kneeling, but something inside of me told me it was the right thing to do.
The little lady's gaze had changed, now she looked at me in surprise, but she quickly recovered and spoke in a serious tone.
"Do you know that you are the weakest vassal my father created?"
Again, I couldn't help but grin and use a sarcastic tone.
"I think I noticed that when Katalena attacked me with her scythe!But I'm sure I would have won if Gabriel hadn't intervened! "
A smile spread across the girl's face.
"Well, you already have self-confidence. What do you think is Katalena's specialty?"
I thought for a moment and then answered.
"I think your strength combined with your scythe makes you pretty strong, but I can't tell you what your specialty is!"
The girl seemed satisfied.
"I'm glad you didn't answer so quickly. I think I can do something with you. Now what do you think of who we start to train you now? After that I'll give you a new name!"
