local settlement date 35,988 When you sense the truth, you will want to hide under the blanket of the nearest lie. King Namor Zujahrah 03 letter to barbaralba "That's enough fish for today, Barbaralba." Barbaralba smiled up at Russam and threw her last three fish up on their floating island. They had spent the night on the island to avoid talking to tax collectors. Since Russam and his woman Juel had Barbaralba to take care of, Russam made it his first objective to keep their angel away from and a secret from the tax collectors. "I'll just swim along the reef a ways, then I'll come up and help you." "Take your time, Angel." Barbaralba passed Russam her bow and files then slid under the surface and swam among the fish along the reef. The sun danced on the gentle waves and made a show of colours on the many sea plants and creatures. When she came up for air she saw Russam watching for her. Smiling like he always did. Happy to see her again even when she was gone only long enough to shoot some fish. He was pointing to the sky. Barbaralba looked up to see the great white bird. It seemed to be motionless. Floating along the surface. Looking for fish some times. Barbaralba swam back to Russam and would have taken her knife to start cleaning fish but Russam was waiting to say something. "What is it, Russam." "It's a letter." Russam pulled a letter out of his bag and held it out to Barbaralba. "My name is on it." "It's a letter for you. Zauqir brought it." Barbaralba remembered seeing Zauqir. He often came for fish and sometimes even stayed to eat with them. Russam liked to smoke with him and talk about many things. Barbaralba did not usually pay attention. Sometimes they went to the village inn to drink brew and talk with others who cared to talk about the tax collectors, gods and the world. "You read it. I can finish the fish." Barbaralba sat with her feet in the water and opened the letter. Dear Barbaralba: I've tried to write you a letter for a long time but was so uncertain what to tell you. I wanted you to enjoy your youth without thinking about tax collectors and castle city. Your father was a tax collector. I killed him. They killed my family and took my sister. After he raped me, I killed him. I had to learn to act like I enjoyed being raped to enjoy the comforts some Draves enjoy in Castle City. Still I wish I hadn't let them bring me here. I thought I had no choice. But it is better to stay out on the water when they come. It is best to never see a tax collector or Castle City. The Castle is full of Kings and Queens doing royal family things. None of it seems at all royal to a Drave. Most all they do is wasteful and abusive. They like to feed on our fear. They don't allow us to talk to them. That's among the highest crimes. There is something very strange about them. They have been trapped in Castle City and know nothing beyond it. Some of your friends will believe they want to come here to have a better life. It is not better. The ocean is a good life. One day I'll see it again. Russam, Juel and you. Don't ever let them take you Barbaralba. I'm sorry I can't give you anything more than a letter. Love Your Mother. ... continued ... http://www.barbaralba.de/books/03_castle_city/01_ccm/03_chapters.htm
