Confusion washed all over him from eyes to mouth which was hanging loosed, opened. The old man saw this and smiled, weakly. He retired from rubbing his hands and made for the table where the kettle that had been brewing was laying ready for use. He dug out a mug from an old cabinet that reminded him of an old cupboard he had once gotten from Gofrin's room. It had been disjointed if only to sound lightly. The hinges had come off and the door was a death trap. It could fall on an unsuspecting visitor who didn't know the technique of holding on to it while you worked or retrieved something from the interior. He remembered once when Gofrin had tried to steal from him a little golden ball that he had received from the chief baker. He had managed to gain entrance into his room unnoticed and wasn't aware of the looming danger the cupboard posed. No sooner had he opened the cupboard than a scream was heard that shook the whole foundation of the castle. It sure did attract attention from the maids who came dashing to his aid. He hadn't been in the room and had laughed to his satisfaction when he heard of it. Even now he was beginning to smile. The golden ball wouldn't have been found there for he carried it with him wherever he went. It was his only toy and he kind of reminded him of all he craved for and wished for life.

"What's ticking you lad?"

He hadn't noticed that his show of enthusiasm at the experience had been open for the stranger to see. He quickly wiped the grin from his face.

"Its nothing sir...I was just remembering something that occurred some time ago"

He sat still and allowed his legs to sweep around the floor which was rough. He wondered how the golden ball had disappeared for not long after that incident it was gone, just disappeared. He recalled searching for it for hours but all to no avail.

"I never knew you could still have it in you...that smile." He paused to look at him.

"You have certainly seen bad days but still your smile hasn't changed a bit."

He poured some tea into the mug and placed some pieces of meat on a saucer and handed it to him.

"You must be really hungry...eat up! Thereafter we discuss. I know you've been yearning to know about me. In a matter of minutes your curiosity shall be satisfied."

George took the tray from him hesitantly. He didn't want to be seen like a glutton but he was damn hungry. He began slowly taking a bite at a time but when he saw that the stranger back up to take care of some other things, he increased his speed and attacked the food zealously. The meat was well roasted for a man so old. He really was good at this and the tea wasn't any different. As he emptied the plate, he noticed the patterns and markings on the ceramics. They were of such that he had never seen before. The engravings were of a language that aroused his curiosity. He was sure he had seen them before and they kind of jump at him as though screaming for his attention. It was like some language he had known before but for some reason he had forgotten.

The stranger was back and he made to take the dishes away.

"No, I can help myself," he said handling the tray himself. He moved towards what looked like a sink.

"These markings..," he said pointing to the plates.

"Oh...what about them?"

"...I donno...they mean something significant but I can't exactly place it. Do you by any chance know about it?"

"I certainly do...I designed them. It was a craft I learnt in my learning years working with my parents for someone whom you will soon learn about."

He paused and watched as George nodded and focused on him with eager anticipation.

"Now that you're fed. I'd like to quench your anxiety...if only a little."

He stopped and cleared his throat.

"My name is Logan Sandoll," he began.

Good evening guys...Tis been a while and since I had some spare time this evening, I decided to do some update.
