Prelude…
Konus sat across the wooden table from his young daughter and watched as she hazardously ate her meal. He smiled with pleasure; she was the joy of his life.
- “Darling Rauna, remember to be good for your Aunty Shea. Just because I won’t be home does not mean you are free to do as you please. Oh no, we both know full well Aunty Shea is more strict than I.”
- “I know Papa, I will behave. How long will you be working for?”
- “Three weeks my dear, three long weeks. It is just like before, you remember don’t you?”
- “Yes Papa. It was so boring without you. What happened to Uncle Karlof?”
- “He was sent to the front again. There is still a war going on against the Fontanese, and our brave armies are making significant attacks on the City of Ashforth.”
- “Where is that Papa?”
- “Oh, the city is far west from here. You know, I have never seen it myself. It was lost from us a very long time ago, before you were born in fact.”
- “Before I was born! Nothing existed before I was born. “
- “Why would you say that?”
- “Because I do not remember anything before I was born! How could it be if I do not remember?”
- “So youthful, you are my darling you know that?”
- “Of course Papa.”
- “Here comes Aunty Shea now. Look, see her walking there? That means it is time for me to leave for work.”
- “Don’t leave Papa, Shea is so boring! Last time all we did was knit! Knitting hurts my fingers.”
- “It will be fine, and maybe she will teach you a new skill? These are important things to learn. Things only a woman can teach you.”
- “Okay Papa, I will wait for you to return, and show you all the blankets we have knitted.”
- “I can’t wait.”
