Mmmm … Ah. Wow, I feel great. I haven't slept like that since … Wait, what time is it? The sun's up already?

You know, I've almost gotten used to Tia waking me up at first light. I guess she let me sleep in today. Bit odd for a Monday, though … And more than a bit odd for her, come to think of it. It's not that I don't appreciate the rest, but … Tia! Are you here? … Tia?

Ti- Oh, good. You're just in the painting room. I was worried you'd run off … "Jefe …" Hm? "Mi jefe … ¿Por qué me dejaste tan solo?" Tia, did you … spend the whole night here? … "Oh? M-master? Ye have already awakened? Please f-forgive this Servant for not being ready …"

Not ready for what? "I have not … kept my Water aboil. 'Twill take quite some time to prepare your Tea for Breakfast." Don't worry about breakfast, Tia. I'll just pick something up on the way to work. I'm more worried about you. "I … do not wish to be a Burden …" You're sad that I'm not … him, right? Salem? "Ye are my Master …" Right now I am. Although some days it feel more like I'm your mother.

And wow, I just realized that makes me a single mother now. First I start dating beyond the grave, then … Ugh, what's wrong with this town? "Master …" Please, Tia. For once, please just call me Skye. … "S-skye?" Yes? "He will not return for me. Will he?" You did wait five hundred years for him, Tia. Isn't that long enough?

"I cannot believe he would … abandon me. Master … Salem was my Life. I served him as he served God." Perhaps it would help if you told me more about him? "Ye wish a story?" Other than your creation, you're never told any stories from before he came to Valencia. "Ye know he is not Valencian?" He changed his name, didn't he? A muslim wouldn't be allowed to travel to a coastal province in those days.

"Then there is no longer Need to keep it secret from ye. I told Miss Coco his name was Salem Domenech. But 'twas truly Salem al-Garnati. The Granadan." He was born in Granada? "In the last shining Bastion of the Nasrid Dynasty, jewel of Andalusia. twenty Year before the Reyes Católicos made it lesser. The Year of my Creation."

"He is … had been a minor Noble, rich from Mediterranean trade. He had come to Morocco fleeing the War, but even as the Joy of Adventure filled his Heart, so too did Andalusia. So when the Treaty was signed, and it was proclaimed that the Practice of Islam would not be prosecuted, he returned Home with me, in joy." That would be 1491 … But Spain broke the treaty. "Verily."

"In Hindsight, it should have been Apparent. The Jewish Peoples were offered no such Clemency. Still, nine Years later, his only given Choice was Conversion or Exile." Or he could have become a serf … "That was no Option either. He could not truly renounce his Faith, his Home, nor his Pride. Thus, he falsely renounced Each. He invented a Christian father, and became Valencian."

That must have been horrible for both of you. Not just hiding from the Inquisition torturing you to death, but having to basically abandon your old life? Nobody should have to go through that. "True. But 'twas no all bad. We found Community among the Prosecuted. And the Ports of Valencia brought many opportunities for Trade and Travel. Master Salem grew to be an old Man of fifty before …

"… b-before … the Riot. Of Those who blames us for the Plague." Tia … "He knew what it meant. Salem knew War was coming. He had Allies in Morocco he could press to the Defence, but … he thought it too dangerous for me to accompany. His last Task to me was … to hide in the Cave near the Villa. The one overlooking the Turia. Until he returned for me." … "Why did he not come?" I don't know, Tia.

But it sounds to me like he wanted to keep you safe. He wouldn't do that if he didn't care about you. "V-verily? I am but his prized Possession. Did I … drive him away somehow?" Salem trusted you to keep his secrets. To guide his prayer. To stand by his side throughout his travels. Tia, you were probably the only person he could actually trust! I'm sure he would have returned, if he could have.

Something must have happened outside his control. We can see if his real name can help us find more information. "Verily? You would … do this for me." Of course. It would at least provide some closure. That's always helpful when … I guess "mourning" is the only word for it. "'Twould be a small Comfort, but a Comfort nonetheless. Thank you, Master." I thought I … "Ye are my Master now, Skye."

"A golem's Master is its World. And I am glad to have found a kind one." Thanks, Tia. It's really the least I could do. … "Would ye like a Cup of cold Tea? 'Tis bitter, yet effective still!" I-I'll pass. Thanks. "I shall wash my-Self out, then." —————

Excellent work, as always! ^v^ It must have been fascinating to research Inquisition-era Spain for this chapter, too, and I like how you used it to create a borderline-historical fiction narrative for this. :D

Coincidentally, my Dad happened to be singing "I'm a Little Teapot" ad infinitum in the background while I was reading this. Not sure how that song popped into his head. XD
