The home of Andrys Xyol, a large castle nestled comfortably in the mountains. He helped to build it himself, during his training to become a knight. Although the outside might look a bit dark and intimidating, the inside is actually very well lit and comfortably elegant.

Andrys walked up to the front gate, and made a quick gesture. The gate swung open, and he looked over to his newly purchased assistant. "Welcome home," he said, his light smirk growing only slightly.

"Well, here you can have all the sunlight you want, so long as whenever I need you, you come." He made another gesture at the castle, in all its grandeur. It was indeed an impressive structure, built into and on the side of a mountain. "Here, you will find everything and anything you need or want. Don't be afraid to use or take whatever you wish; we have plenty here." He led her up to the front door, which was an absurd height of 18 feet tall. He made another gesture with his hand, waving once across the door. It swung open easily, and his smirk became a little softer of a smile. "Well, here we are. Make yourself at home, miss... What was your name again?"

Hikaru Looked at the Castle, seeing water. No sooner than she saw it, she dove in, spinning like a drill as she did so. She came back up a few minutes later smiling. "Even though i can Fly, i Like to swim." She dove back down and brought up one of the fish she saw when she was under.

"Well, feel free to swim as well." Andrys said, nodding. "As I said, anything and everything here is open to you."

Hikaru got out of the water, the water slipping off of her and leaving her dry, as she munched on the Fish. She Followed her new owner inside.

(Sorry, my computer keeps acting super-spazzy.)
The foyer that was behind the doors was equally huge. To the right, was the hallway that led to the kitchen, along with a few other spare rooms. To the right was another open area, filled with lush furniture and a huge television, along with a large fireplace and a very old portrait of a man who looked remarkably like Andrys. As for Andrys himself, he had walked straight forward, where an enormous marble staircase led to the upper floors, although he was only on the fourth step or so. "You are welcome in all parts of my home, other than my personal quarters, and my study. They are the two rooms there," he said, pointing to two adjacent doors. "That is one of the few rules we have here. Rule one, don't destroy the place. Rule two, don't go into my personal quarters or study. And rule three... Well, I have yet to come up with a rule three," he admitted, and shrugged. "Anyways. I am Andrys, Andrys Xyon. And you are my new lab assistant. The lab, by the way, is just down the stairs." He pointed to another door, on the side of the staircase he was currently standing on. "Any time I call for you, you will respond and come directly to the lab. Do you understand?"

Hikaru nodded. "do you have a room with a pool to the water outside?.. Back in the Whirl islands, we had many places like that among the caverns.." she said, heading to the spare rooms that Andrys had pointed out.

"There is a wellspring just below the lab, it leads to the caverns and the lake. However, there are some... Less than desirable creatures living in the caverns, I would suggest you act cautiously. Some of my less successful experiments have escaped termination, and adapted into rapidly reproducing, carnivorous, nocturnal, amphibious freaks." Andrys sighed, pinching the bridge of his nose. "They've become quite a pest, now that they've discovered the cattle fields and the servant's quarters. I'm in dire need of new cattle, and new servants." He shook his head, and then looked back to Hikaru. "I'm sure you're quite capable of taking care of yourself, considering how tightly you were bound. Still, I would appreciate it if you try to stay out of the dryer caverns, that's where they seem to enjoy staying mostly."

Hikaru giggled. "If you hear a few Explosions and screams down there, thats probably them dying." she said, heading into one of the room. there she found a Luxurious bed, a shower and bath, and a walk in closet. She soon had nested into the bed and fell asleep lightly, enough so she can respond to Andrys quickly.

"Yes, I should presume as much," Andrys replied, nodding. He walked down the four marble stairs he had ascended simply for her entrance, and went straight down to his lab.

Hikaru woke up a few hours later, her feathers littering the bed, with soft new ones on her body. she got up and headed down the stairs, and to the lab, Curious about Andrys's work.

Andrys stood at a large table, his black silk cloak set aside on a hangar and replaced with a white lab smock, goggles strapped over his eyes. The table he was standing next to was covered with different vials, filled with liquids and powders of all different colors. At the moment, he had one vial in his hand, a clear liquid that looked like water, only with the consistency of maple syrup. Slowly, he poured a few drops into a tube that led into a large box made of glass-like material. It already had a bunch of materials inside of it, and a flame burning under it. Next to the box was a large crank-wheel, connected to an odd mechanism just above the box. A metal rod extended from the mechanism and into the box. A few moments later, he spotted Hikaru. "Ah, perfect timing. This wheel here? Turn it counter-clockwise four times, please." He said, gesturing to it as he stepped back, and held up a clipboard, prepared to take a few notes.

Hikaru didnt even walk to the Crank. she focused, her eyes glowing a mystical Blue as she used her psychic, the handle turning blue also as it turned Counter clockwise four times. she was watching the set up of chemicals, flame, and mechanisms closely.
