“The lie is
an integral part of man’s speech,” spoke She in a playful voice. She studied
carefully her new or more accurately updated leader of trolls Tukum. “Remember.
Hold fast, fiercely and boldly, angrily with them and I "promise" I
will not torture you anymore for fun...”
"Yes,
yes, I understood well Lady," said the leader in a frightened voice. "But
maybe you just stop calling me "your Doggie"?" asked he dreary.
"Oh,
no!" exclaimed She. "Remember Tukum, you will always be a
"Doggie" now. Now it's your name. But as I see you did not understand
me. I'm just telling you that if you do it right I'm not going to strangle you
with a collar," said She these words and sat down on her throne.
According
to her gesture, the sandy hall or throne room was filled with various
diplomats, counselors and other officials in the Barbed Tower. They all have a great importance
in the life of the capital and beyond. Tukum was sitting on his throne in the
very center of the room and everyone came to him exactly. Tukum knew
"Spiders often place their webs in sight but their all victims also
refuse to see it in advance". So his lady was sitting on against his
throne and she was bored. She was in the shape of bored and alone sitting
figure of beautiful seraphim. And naturally no one saw her more in the throne
room.
"I am
happy with one thing that times go and the beings become so stupid and
stupid," said She quietly from her seat. "There's one primitive form
of illusion and they all believe in the seraphim-angel who washes her hands in
the blood. It's hopelessness…" said she in a low whisper words and began
to look around carefully all those present in the hall again.
Now it is
necessary to fill in the information gaps and restore the events in their
chronological order, so it's worth mentioning some facts and details.
Today's
morning was evil for everyone, of course, living in the Barbed Tower because the heralds called to learn
new laws and bans on the streets from the very dawn. This is how the morning
began for the residents of the capital today and this morning they were not
very happy.
For all the
authorities, the morning began around the first or second hour of the night or,
more precisely, when the messenger arrived with an urgent message. It was
written that they immediately went to the palace to the leader Tukum
personally. This tone of the letter, as well as the direct and not hidden
threats, old robbers, pirates, slavers have not met in their address for a long
time. Why did they not meet, you ask?! To explain such a simple and obvious
fact can be very simple because most of the well-deserved counselors and heads of state in their youth
were fierce and bloodthirsty trolls. They were ready to take away not only a
candy of a child but your father, mother and even an old grandmother. Therefore,
they all and representatives of the authorities came to the appointed time
exclusively to spit in the face of the leader or at least defeat him with his
cudgel in a duel. On that evil morning many of them dreamed of becoming richer,
stronger and finally dreamed of becoming a Leader.
"Dreams
are like a fish in the sky or a dog at the bottom of the sea; they are always
just inappropriate and insidious."
Most likely
this is how "dreamers about power" could describe themselves who were
in the throne room today. Tukum sat literally like a swamp calmly, quietly and
confidently. Today Tukum didn't spare any gold, no skulls of enemies, and no
precious stones for his appearance. In one word, the audience noticed a big
change in his look and behavior. Today the leader looked really like the
leader. He looked around with a sharp and tenacious sight. Then Tukum noticed
that not many are able to stand his attention and not be afraid. In She's plan,
his faithful and famous cudgel completed a thoughtful image of power and fear. It
was lying comfortably on his knees.
"It
means my grandfather told the truth that the leader is the bloodiest bandit and
tyrant with an excellent black humor?" The bravest counselor and
ambassador asked by the ancient folk proverb.
In the
throne room there was a nervous laughter, gradually turning into silence.
"The
laughter is a good weapon against pain," noticed Tukum clearly and loudly
through the teeth. He tapped quietly his cudgel on the palm of his right hand.
Although the leader Tukum was left-handed and so he became famous for it by the
left-hand hit in the history of the capital. Exactly this hand brought him the
throne and the right to wear a crown.
"I
agree, leader," said the counselor. "But you also know a tired,
desperate rabbit can bite off a hand. Right?" asked the counselor KyuTic
at the end and looked around the entire sandy hall. Most of those present
trolls nodded in agreement but there were those who were afraid even to look
towards the leader.
"Counselor
KyuTic, you are the oldest and faithful my slave," roared the leader and
stood up from his throne. "Do you want to challenge me? Or..."
"No, I
don't Tukum," the counselor cried out in fright, interrupting Tukum.
Meanwhile,
the Leader was opposite all and he looked at everyone who wishes to say goodbye
to life precisely today. He was amused by the game with his faithful cudgel.
"Really,
they don't see you, Lady," thought he quickly but Tukum knew he had no
time now and it is necessary to decide all the questions already.
"Well,
if you don't!" The leader put an emphasis on "Don’t" too loudly
and menacingly. "Then you must listen, write and remember!" He
paused; he waited until everyone was ready and then loudly and clearly said.
"Today
will be special! I've been waiting it for century! My great-grandfather waited
ten centuries for it and grandfather waited hundred centuries! We all are born
to plunder and kill! Our children were born to serve! It's coming a great time
of suffering! Soon we will attack the neighboring land of Raccoonia and we'll do everything for what we
live..."
"Death,
Slavery, Robbery!" were heard hundreds of voices that sounded together.
The sand of this echo began to oscillate and crumble from the ceiling. It
created a dusty and sinister veil.
"That's
why I assembled you all today!" roared out the leader loudly. "For a
long time we were humiliated! For a long time we ordered as we need to live!
For a long time we were slaves and oppressed with good deeds! It's time to
return their debt to the sufferings of their loved ones, animals, and children!
We'll become Great and strong again! Are you ready?
"Yes!
Yes! Yes! Death to them and Blood!” screamed hundreds of voices.
"Gold,
children, goods are our new or old purpose. There are Pits and Ashes!" The
leader finished his speech with a traditional gesture "do it now" and
afforded to appear a satisfied smile on his green and rude face. "She will
be pleased with me, Doggie did his thing," said the great leader Tukum
quietly under his breath.
Five
minutes later, there were only two leaders or the owner and her doggie in the
throne room. All other representatives of the illusion of power left the throne
room as soon as possible. The eloquent counselor KyuTic was able to summarize
everything that was said earlier by the Leader in the small hall of secret
meetings.
"This
was the worst speech of the leader in my life but I liked it. The happiness,
prosperity, joy have already swallowed up trolls and it terrified me
terribly," said he.
"Tukum,"
said She quietly. "It's time to send our spies to enemies. We don't want
to lose before the battle begins, huh?"
"No, I
don't, Lady. I will order them to be sent immediately," said the leader apologetically.
Then he went to the hall of "Councils and Solutions". This is the
place where the best strategic and tactical solution of any state decision is
chosen. By a lucky chance, Tukum arrived later than the counselor's speech and
didn't hear criticism about his power of persuasion or oratory.
"Remember
Doggie that avarice and greed will rule their world," said She from her
throne and carelessly brushed off invisible garbage from her shoulder.
"Doggie, you'll see I'll soon free them all from freedom and false values
and then make everyone believe in Our World," finished she vaguely. Lady
began to watch with interest how the sand moves beneath her boot.
"Doggie
ran away and I talk to him," She looked around. "So I can get used to
those whom I will exterminate in sooner," said she and stamped her foot on
the sand, she's creating huge circles of splashes and dust.
Another new
day began outside the window of the Throne Room. The sun has just risen so high
to fill everything with its light. Today's sun was trying to get to the darkest
corners in the houses of the residents of Barbed Tower. It wanted to remind that “Hope is
dead only when we forget it”. This scorching midday sun came to one of these houses. It
warmed the soul and gave joy to the children of one simple family of trolls.
"Knowledge is a gift that everyone uses selfishly and deceitful", the
father of the family who returned to his house didn't know about it.
"Darling,
you're worried about," said the wife to her husband and was distracted
from the younger spoiling son. "What did the Herald say? What kind of new
laws? What kind of absurdity and for what?"
"Death is for a lie. Death is
for theft. Death is for thought. Death is for differences. Death is for life.
Death is for everything." The father of the family of trolls whispered
quietly and sat down in his chair; he's embracing his wife tightly.
"What
are we to do now?" asked she with tears in her eyes.
