Amulet of Gondars chapter 1

Chapter 1

In a chair to the corner of the room with a book over his head was Prestince who was snoring particularly loud, keeping his beloved dog, Cherry, awake. He then snorted and opened his eyes.
"Ugh.." he groaned rubbing his eyes as the book fell.
He noticed the shades had rays of light breaking through the cracks. He then looked around his room, a mess. Clothes covered most of his floor while books hid the rest. Mariel, his house maid and family friend, wouldn't be forced to clean the only part of the house that was ever really dirty because Prestince didn't want to burden her. She had already been getting through the death of her husband and extra cleaning wasn't at the top of her list. Still she had insisted on so anyways.
Prestince stood up and let the book fall out of his lap. Forgetting what he was reading about he picked it up and read the title aloud.
"Citadel's History".
Prestince placed the book on a nearby desk and looked at Cherry. Her tail began to thump against her bed as she lifted her head from her paws. She had a reddish-brown fur that Prestince always took care of. For only a pup, she could master any hard labor, too. Prestince recieved her from his father just a few months before his depaure to the M.S.C. Magically Skilled Creatures. Anyone who wanted to protect the great wizard, Hantov, joined there.
Prestince could hear the clanging of pots and pans; Mariel. He thought. He headed downstairs and saw Mariel in the kitchen, big dress, white hair sprawled across the floor scrubbing little specks of dirt not visible to most except, well Mariel of course.
"Why work so hard?" Prestince said with Cherry right by his side.
Startled, Mariel turned her head to face Prestince. She smiled and gave a quick nod noticing another speck of dirt underneath her nose. Prestince tried not to laugh or she would make him clean on the beautiful weekend so he headed outside, greeted by two other dogs.
