It is decided that the abilities of Sitrun should be celebrated. She is to be paraded across the territory of the Protavic people as an example of the Allmother's blessing and she is to attend every feast, in which she shall honoured as the tribe's most favoured daughter. It is the priestesses who shall house her and care for her, and teach her their ways, to become a priestess when she has grown older, accumulated wisdom and mothered children.
The truth is that Sitrun is a very strange girl. She rarely eats anything other than honey, she struggles to raise her voice above a whisper and when she does speak, she usually just mumbles parables about bees and hives. This doesn't matter to the beast-bringers though, who gasp in astonishment whenever she demonstrates her gift. The sight of this young woman covering herself in bees which refuse to harm her makes one thing clear in their minds – the Allmother has truly blessed their tribe.
Yet while the priestesses use this girl to further their agenda and march her around the Croglatol, another matter is brought before the leaders of the tribe.
The head of a village comes to the gathering with a slave by his side, something that is unspoken of. A great big brute of a Grovic, with rippling muscles and a multitude of scars. He urges all of the other tribal leaders to heed the words of his servant, before he allows the man to speak.
His name is Chabal. He explains the hardship that the Grovic have to go through under the yoke of the Protavic people, the backbreaking labour and the poor living conditions. They are often treated worse than swine, as though they are less than people, even though they speak and feel and think just like any beast-bringer. The slave asks for the leaders of his tribe to treat his people with more respect, to not work them so hard and to provide them with the food and shelter that all men deserve.
Our tribe could <span class="mu-s">grant the wishes of this slave</span>. His words have touched the hearts of many leaders. Slaves should be treated with greater respect.
Our tribe could <span class="mu-s">liberate Chabal from servitude</span>. He speaks with clarity and wisdom. Even if others deserve to be slaves, he does not. He should be a free man.
Our tribe could <span class="mu-s">refuse the slave's demands</span>. Many of the Grovic deserve this fate, as they were thieves and scoundrels before they were pressed into servitude.
Our tribe could <span class="mu-s">work the Grovic harder than ever</span>. This is their punishment for allowing one of their kind to talk back to their betters. They are property, not people.
Our tribe could <span class="mu-s">sentence this slave to death</span>. A clever and charismatic slave is a threat. He should be slain, before he turns even more people to his cause.
>Grant the wishes of this slave.
>Liberate Chabal from servitude.
