[QUOTE="Rastfar, post: 3955198, member: 9596"] 28 Quark, 637 M.Y. Today has been full of most unlikely events. The mantle of leadership has been draped upon me. I did not expect as much, though I do not shrink from it. It was clever of Telemakhos to prop me up as his nomination, knowing that there would be little argument. Though if he thinks his relation to me shall give him some favourable sway in my ear, he will prove mistaken. Laarus was most reticent to capitulate the position, an attitude which I had not entirely expected. Perhaps he thought himself a better candidate, if so he did not press the point. As a Sunfather, I am certain it would be awkward to needs follow the direction of another, indeed they are used to the deference of others, like Victoria. Again, I am sure Telemakhos laughs as it seems my appointment proves a lesson in humility, doubly so as I am the only amongst us not of noble birth. Could this be why Laarus continues to act in a manner which could jeapordize us? Does his zeal come as the result of something to prove? Or do we somehow make him balk? Perhaps the ‘visions’ are eroding his rationale, casuing him to behave ever more erratic and reckless. We are fortunate that he did not lead Timotheus and Markos into a situation that three of them could not handle. For that we have Bes to thank, not Ra. I anticipate that there will come a day when Laarus will take action, and I will be forced to take action against him. I fear for Victoria that day, and the hard choices she will make. I owe her, at least, full consideration. ‘Nothing in life is to be feared, it is only to be understood. Now is the time to understand more, so that we may fear less.’ Hezrah again eludes us, a third time, this shall be the final. The last of her brood have fallen, except for the witch Crusta, who has cozened to Markos. It is not an arrangement that I am entirely comfortable with, but given the debate over the breeding orcs, I remain mute. I do not expect that she will be returning to civilization with us. She snores too loudly. [/QUOTE]
