part 1

decades passed, and the upheaval became a distant memory

but echoes of those unsteady years remained

and some things can never be truly forgotten"

the story closed, and i found that the hermit had disappeared

a pyre erupted from the ground

i fled back to the cave entrance in a panic

and emerged as dusk was falling

chastened of adventure and eager to leave this cursed place, i hurried through the quiet evening streets, echoes of the past ringing with every step

[octofoils]

making a fresh start

in a prosperous city

under some duress

i found myself at the mouth of a cave

deep inside was a hermit

who told me a tale

of a vizier

his king

and a prophecy

"a court eavesdropper overheard

word got around

riots broke out

plots were set in motion

chaos ensued

violence reigned

and the city fell into ruin

competing factions brokered an alliance

to depose the king

imprison the vizier

and destroy all traces of the prophecy

over time, the city was rebuilt

lingering rascals were jailed

rule of law restored

penitence made

and a tentative peace formed
