I have decided to talk about my routine, in case I ever forget it I guess. I guess I do have a bad memory, sometimes i misremember conversations or moments and usually my father, a teacher, or another student has to remind me what happened. it’s strange how real false memories can feel, but it’s all a trick of the mind of course.
so to begin, I wake up in my dorm, I share it with one other from a few of my classes. I get dressed and ready before eating breakfast, possibly the greatest food to ever exist in this seed, I doubt there’s anything better.
then I head to my classes on history, literature, religious studies and so on. They’re interesting classes that I enjoy quite a lot... but the students however leave little to be desired. I’ve known them all since I was a child, I know who liked who, who hated who or what. therefor they all know me, they know my parentage, my mother, my “strange” habits. It’s not a fun experience to say the least.
As I was saying, then I head off to join my father for my apprenticeship. I help him set up for sermons, clean the pews and alter, I set the herbs and incense, the candles are my favorite to set up. Then I set up my father’s tools and all he’ll need for the sermon of that day, usually it’s quite small but I must greet all the people who decide to attend. then finally I sit in one of the front pews and watch or follow along until I have to help pass things out to the attendees.
Once that is completed I clean up and help my father put everything away.
He may answer my questions from before the sermon at this time or we keep talking, I often enjoy these moments because I never get to talk to him outside of them. He said I must keep a clear head and preform my duties as a child of the Purple Rose because it will soon be my duty to be a priest of Elucidis and my peers will have their duties to uphold as well, so he mustn't interfere with me outside of apprenticeships.
I applaud his devotion, I'm very proud to call him my father and I hope i can have that same devotion when I become a priest.
after all is said and done I have free time I may usually spend up in my dorm reading Eiris books or helping where I can, I know I must indulge myself in my passions every once in a while but I can’t possibly stay still long enough to do so, I need to keep busy and help out where ever I can...
I'm sure my mother would want this, she’d be proud of me right now. I actually want to learn more about her and how she was here. who were her friends, what she liked to do in her spare time. I understand some basic things about her, her memory wasn’t the best and she often acted out, It does happen sometimes I know. I wonder what happened to make her so upset, I wonder if she tried to seek help from those higher than her.
I guess I'll ask my father, he’d surely have to know out of everyone. Yes, that’s what I’ll do, next time I'm in for my apprenticeship I’ll ask him!
may Elucidis bless you all!
