A Sudden Departure
It would seem that Sensei has recommended my services to a friend. This evening, when I went to see her, I found her in the company of a man who introduced himself as Bishop Marcuse Lemoranos. Bishop Lemoranos was visiting on behalf of Artemesia Sanctuary in Ferox. The purpose for this visit was apparently to appraise me before accepting my services. Once he had left, Sensei offered an explanation of the situation.
Bishop Sophia De Borel of Artemesia Sanctuary, an old friend of hers, was in possession of two important manuscripts. The manuscripts were weather reports from the Colony, each independently drafted, one in Argenti, the other in Cuprum. Sensei had known about the situation for several months now, and has apparently been preparing me for the task. I have been requested for a period of three months. I would have liked to know in advance, but I suppose prior knowledge would have risked distraction, and so keeping me in the dark until now was more pragmatic.
Bishop Lemoranos has a carriage prepared for our transport to the sanctuary. We have already left Saptagiri, and make our way toward Ferox. Bishop Lemoranos has assured me that the trip will take only three days of overland travel. The man is as friendly as one might expect of a member of the Mother Sun clergy, and as boisterous. I suppose I could have worse company on such a long trip.
I am honored that Sensei has personally recommended me above all of the other acolytes to undertake this task. When the transliteration is completed, I shall have my name attached to the tome. The prospect is exciting. Even so, I find myself concerned. Since arriving Saptagiri with Sensei so long ago, I have never been away from the monastery for such a prolonged period of time. Furthermore, Ferox is much colder than Aurumo at this time of the year. All of this without speaking of the inevitable culture shock of taking up residency in a Mother Sun sanctuary for such a long time. However, as much as these thoughts distract me now, I must steel myself. I cannot allow my personal feelings to inhibit my performance. I will work tirelessly to exceed Bishop De Borel’s expectations. To do anything else would be to disappoint Sensei and bring shame to my professional reputation.
