Fall 35, 512 AV

“Dear nephew, could you take care of the children today?” his aunt asked him. “They need to be fed. I can’t use hungry, and the one that usually takes care of them has just informed me that he’s sick.”

If there was something that Valerius didn’t like at all, then it were children. They were highly illogical. They were like small, demented cripples, clumsy, forgetful, with attention problems. Children couldn’t read, they couldn’t speak the Ancient Tongue, they didn’t care that he was a Nitrozian, and Kelvic children were twice as bad as human children.

He shuddered, about to turn around and tell his aunt that he’d had enough, that he was tired of feeding animals when he wanted to conduct experiments, but then he noticed the way she looked at him and abruptly stopped. Amandra Nitrozian was one of the few people he listened to.

He wasn’t afraid of her – Valerius wasn’t afraid of anybody – but he respected her, a lot. She was a very important person in Ravok, and she’d been marked by Rhysol. He’d survive a bell with animal children somehow. Maybe he’d get drunk afterwards even though he disapproved of people that got drunk.

~~~~

A few chimes later he was already standing in front of a cage with a couple of children that looked at him expectantly. Some of them were in animal form – mostly kittens – while others looked like naked little human boys and girls.

While some of the older Kelvic were very aware of what was going on in the Kelvic Research Institute and had come from outside, the children had never known another life. They played like all children and were happy when they were being fed. They hadn’t been involved in one of aunt Amanda’s experiments so far. Today would be the first time.

Valerius hoped they wouldn’t cry. He couldn’t stand crying children.

As Valerius approached the cage, the children all ran to the door and extended their hands. He gestured for them to step back so that he could open the door and put the food inside, but they refused to obey.

So he pushed the door open even though some of the children were still standing behind it. They jumped back, one of them looked as if it were about to cry, but a moment later they were there and surrounded him, making a mixture of animal and human sounds.

Some of them even dared to touch him and tug at his jacket. He frowned and pushed the offending children away. Unfortunately that didn’t work. So he walked into the cage and emptied the sack of animal food he had brought with him into the bowls that stood in the cage, with children still clinging to his jacket or following him.

Once the sack was empty, he left the cage as quickly as he could and locked the door before the children could follow him outside again. He would make his slave wash the jacket when he got home. And drink something. The children had been much too impatient for his taste, and they hadn’t even made an effort to act like normal people!

Fall 40, 512 AV

Valerius was in a bad mood. He had been in a bad mood since the day his Kelvic had killed a guest and possible future business partner. Before he had gotten his job at the Kelvic Research Institution, he had dreamed of studying the creatures for years. It had always been either the Ancient Tongue and other obscure things or animals. They had fascinated him because of their shapeshifting abilities, but cleaning up their excrements, washing them, feeding them and being bitten by them had made them a lot less fascinating. They had also turned out to be comparatively stupid and driven by their instincts.

Since the ‘Salvatrice incident’ as he had begun to call it, he was a lot less patient with them. Sometimes he even considered quitting his job. If Aunt Amanda didn’t give him a promotion by the beginning of next season, he decided, he would be gone. He couldn’t bear it anymore!

On the 40th of Fall Valerius and a few of his colleagues were gathered in one of the buildings, a row of female Kelvic in their human forms in front of them. An auction was going to take place today, and it was the job of Valerius and his colleagues to make sure that the creatures were presentable. They even received new dresses for the auction so that they would look more beautiful.

Before the season of fall Valerius had sometimes tried to talk to the creatures and told them how lucky they were to be auctioned, that their life would be better now and that they should thus behave, but he didn’t make much of an effort now. He just grabbed a bowl of water, some soap and a sponge, washed the creatures, combed them, not caring that they complained that it hurt and then made them put their new clothes on. He even gave them shoes.

Once they all looked like normal human woman rather than animal freaks, Valerius left because he had enough of them. At the auction he stayed in the background and only spoke if he had to. He didn’t feel like trying to sell those freaks right now. His aunt hadn’t asked him to anyway. He was just the guy who cleaned them.
