Chapter 25 Chapter Twenty-Five

In , this is how the planet named Golga Flintham is described: This is a planet with a long and mysterious history, full of legends, red and occasionally green with the blood of those who tried to conquer her many times.The continent was hot and barren, sweet and sultry air mingled with the scent of the Kami streams that waded over hot, dusty rocks and nourished musky mosses below.It is a land of wild expressions and excited imaginations, especially of those who have tasted that moss; a land of cool and dark thoughts, too, of those who have learned to renounce the moss and sit in the shade .This is a continent with iron horses and golden arms and passionate passion.This is a continent of the body as well as a continent of the spirit.Such is its history.

Of all this ancient and mysterious history, the most enigmatic figures are undoubtedly the great "poets of encirclement" of Arielm.These "encirclement poets" used to live in the distant mountains, where they waited for small groups of indiscreet tourists, then surrounded them and threw stones at them. When these tourists yell and ask why they don't go off and write poetry or something instead of pestering people here with throwing stones, they stop abruptly and start chanting seven hundred One of the ninety-four great Vahirian ballads.The ballads are wonderfully beautiful and surprisingly long, and all in the same style.

The first part of each song tells of five wise princes coming out of Vahirian on four horses.Of course these princes were brave, noble and wise. They traveled the continents, fought gigantic monsters, tracked sages from exotic lands, drank tea with the gods, rescued beautiful treasures from greedy princesses, and finally declared They have received the apocalypse, thus ending their wanderings.The second part of each song is much longer and deals with their feud.At the heart of the dispute is which of them should walk back. All of this has been buried in the planet's distant past.However, the descendants of an eccentric poet have concocted some false news that the end is near.What the hell, Golga Flintham lost that utterly useless third of the population.The other two-thirds continued to live comfortably at home, leading full, prosperous and happy lives, until all were suddenly wiped out by a deadly disease spread from a contaminated telephone.
