Passageways

Sunlight fell across Eli as it beamed through the small window above him. Still half asleep, he misjudged the size of his bed and rolled over, landing on the floor. After giving himself a few seconds to catch his breath, he wiped the sleep from his eyes.

Standing, he re-orientated himself with his surroundings and pulled out his Elite uniform. As he slipped his top over his head, there was a knock at the door.

“Eli, it’s Sahab. You need to get up now, you’re late,” his friend called. Elijah opened up and looked at Sahab. “Why are you wearing your uniform today?”

Looking down at himself, and then at his friend, he noticed Sahab was dressed in tight black trousers with high boots, a white shirt, undone and a jacket with puffy shoulders. The colours were a combination Elijah had never seen before.

“Ah well, means I don’t have to change for the party later.” Elijah shrugged, laughing it off. “You, however, are very dressed up. Planning on impressing the cook’s assistant. What’s her name, Levanna?”

“What?” Sahab spun around but shrugged his shoulders. “I don’t know what you’re on about.”

“Oh, come on.” Eli swung an arm around his friend’s shoulders as he caught up to him. “You went completely silent when she came into the dining room with Filip. You were jealous.”

“Okay, let’s move on.”

Raising an eyebrow, Elijah smirked. His friend was definitely into her, and if he had a chance, he would tell Levanna.

“Right, what are you making me do today?” Elijah asked, taking his friend’s comments under advisement and changing the subject of the conversation. Hopefully, something good would come out of it.

“Well, you missed training. Merrick is not happy with you.” Sahab laughed. “You get to do a run tomorrow morning before we switch with the reserves.”

“Great, exactly what I needed to start my day off.” Elijah rolled his eyes. “Seriously, what are we doing?”

“We are going exploring.”

“Exploring?” Elijah was cynical. He thought back to the passageways Maevine had taken him and how his childhood memories had come rushing back to him. “Are… are you sure that’s something we should do?”

“Yes, I’m sure. The librarian has said they can get me an old map of the castle,” Sahab said, grinning. They turned the corner and went through the doors.

There were many people in the library when Sahab and Elijah entered. Buisan could be heard instructing people on what sections to audit. Considering the vast size of the library, Elijah wasn’t sure if the extra staff were enough to catalogue every book in one day. Buisan, catching Sahab’s eye, stopped his conversation and glided over to them.

“Ah, Sahab,” Buisan said with his elongated ’s’ hisses. “I have those maps you were looking for. It took a long time to find the right ones.” The librarian pulled some paper from inside his cloak and handed it to him. “You should both be very careful. While this is not widely known information, a lot more people know about it than the king would like.
