He almost skipped through the Blue district! his heart felt light for he knew soon he would be in the presents of his teacher his very creator
He allowed himself a moment to reflect upon his past to the day where he and the Rose had met
it had been in a pub in London in the early days of the industial Revolution the world had been alive then new sights new smells everything in its modern infancy and yet for all these wonders none had had more impact than The Rose himself.
It was a cool January evening when Nameless (who had been under a long forgotten title at the time)
had entered the pub in search of a warm taste to lull him to his rest for the evening
On this night he was taking notice of no one he had no need or want for conversation that night
or so he thought
"May I sit?"
The man was tall his skin pale but in a strange way delicate his clothes were from their look tailor made which showed the man had great class and style
His hair was a fire red and his eyes were if Nameless was not mistaken a light violet
again the man asked
"May I sit?"
His voice it carried with it the sweet seduction of so many long winters nights
and loves had and then forgotten in the passing of youth.
Nameless was transfixed and drawn to the man so much so that he could only manage a feeble "yes"
to the mans request to join him.
"Splendid it speaks oh my dear boy I had feared you dumb or perhaps to drunken to even be aware of your surroundings.
but thankfully I see I am in error of my asumption and am quite pleased to join you on this beautiful evening allow me with so many allowences as one can gather upon a first meeting to introduce myself I am Nathaniel
or perhaps better known as the Rose choose which ever will suite your speech best."
"A pleasure Nameless began I am..."
Nathaniel held up his hand..."Silence dear boy I am your guest I requested to sit with you and so yours being your name shall remain a mystery and on this night we shall see you as the Nameless one a truly gracious host indeed.
"Now then what refreshment shall we seek this evening perhaps Brandy?
or a dark wine?
"Well do not be silent boy dreams should never be silenced
but spoken what refreshment do you seek this night?
w-wine Nameless muttered
"Very well but my dear boy we must work on your annuciation how can one hear you if you are so lost in your speech that you cannot even deliver a simple request of a friend?
"I am sorry Nameless began I was not expecting to drink with anyone tonight.
The Rose smiled "the best feelings my boy are hand in the in expected"
ahh I see our wine has arrived...let us toast to the in expected
and love this night in honor of The Nameless one.
The remainder of the evening passed like some sweet dream far to sweet for visual recolection
All Nameless cared to remember were Nathaniels words to him the next day
"I have given you a love my sweet a love that shall last the ages
Remember always that you are the master of the stage and all below you
only players"
I will never be far from you my dear Nameless one...rest now and farewell."
Yes meeting with the Rose would be wonderful indeed.
