34/09/01 Fourday

At the hospital, Malor asked for and received a pair of cargo pants and a sweatshirt for the trip back to Nirmad. He moved stiffly but was in good spirits, as if a burden was lifted from his shoulders and that made him feel free. When asked by Zadon, he smiled and said, "I’m free to be myself for the first time in my life. It’s an unfamiliar sensation and an uncommon joy!"

At the palace he directed the soldiers to ask all nobility, prominent residents, traders, military commanders and high priests to attend. It took a while but at least two hundred drably clothed men were finally present.

He took his place on the throne and addressed his subjects. "While viewing the richness of Gaia, I was exposed to the concept of equality that rules Gaia's lands. The level of education, common courtesy and joy that every person exhibited opened my eyes to possibilities that are offered to us. My family ruled this land for five generations. However, we are a small kingdom in comparison to the powerful Hittites in the east and to the strong kingdom of Wilusa to the west.

When my own subjects attempted to assassinate me, my mind was made up. I’m stepping down as the King of Nirmad and placing the kingdom under the responsibility of Gaia. This kingdom will become the canton of Nirmad within the lands of Gaia, a place where all people are free and equal to one another. May we all live long and prosper!"

With that, King Malor stepped off the throne and became the private citizen Malor Damri. After a few seconds of stunned silence, shouts and calls of protest erupted with demands for another king.

Tom walked to the throne, lifted the big piece of furniture and carried it to the center of the room. He ignited his laser and chopped the throne into small pieces. He then opened a portal to the terrified expressions of the present crowd and stepped aside as a line of Wooden Existence employees brought in a long table and eleven chairs.

"People of Nirmad, this is your Council members' meeting table and it’s up to you to decide who will sit around it. I ask that you select six women and five men who are pure of heart and have nothing but the best wishes for all the people of Nirmad. If you can’t make this selection, Gaia’s representatives will be happy to do it for you. These people will be educated in our way of governance and helped by our administrator Ladom, and our magistrate, KP. For our first order of business, I call on KP to pass judgment on the accused of attempting to assassinate the former king. KP?"

KP sat at the head of the table. "Thank you, Tom. Would you please lead the accused in?"

A parade of thirty-seven people was guided in to stand to one side. Their slow shuffle was accompanied by cries of anguish from a few people, especially Malor. One of his queens and two of his sons were among the accused.
