23. Kalerum is a Corpse
Chapter One
Broomi was a sibling to Kalerum. She never liked their governor, Eveeldi. For the ten years of his reign it seems his lands were only descending.
One of Broomi’s confusing dreams said: Kalerum is a corpse. Guns and swords are useless when he wields them.
Chapter Two
In the tenth year of the King’s reign he increased the wages of soldiers by ten and started recruiting more soldiers.
Cursed be those who placed money over reason.
Thus, did Broomi hate the poor and the stupid. Very painful to Broomi, Kalerum, her younger sibling, joined Eveeldi’s army.
Chapter Three
Thinking long on all the pain in her life, first the descent of her environment, the poor. Broomi remembered the teaching of her mother saying: when all is hopeless, remember Prayers, he might just answer.
Not after minutes of praying did she get a response.
Prayers said: A handful of your earth can stop your King. Please remember to teach people to order their steps.
Chapter Four
Ordering one’s step as taught by the Seers in their dreams are:
- Do what concerns more people.
- Consider the words of the very old over the younger.
- Let the broken eat first.
