All but KEKI and TOIRE approach the beds to leave their things, in the first, ESU has stayed, in the second WAPURO, in the third OKE, the fourth has been finished, they thought that there would be good KEKI, in the fifth has gone to accommodate INKU, next to the bed of OKE, and in the sixth is the space for TOIRE.
TOIRE hasn't moved, she keeps looking at KEKI, she looks at him seriously, judging by his face, there's something he wants to tell her, seeing that he doesn't tell her anything, she starts to annoy him, so she starts heading for the fourth bed, while she gives a break, TOIRE gets a lot of questions without daring to ask them, she gets to the fourth bed and leaves her things on the bed , sit down.
Her companions begin to sit (some standing) near her, and even in her bed.
TOIRE, arrive with the backpack.
She thanks him for taking care of his treasure.
For others, it's the first time they've seen him.
She opens the backpack and pulls out some gold cases and precious stones, she explains that, inside them, are the scrolls of the scribe temple.
INKU has a memory of it, some of the times he came to see scrolls that were taken to the temple of CHOSEN, he had forgotten how ostentatious they were.
It can be a simple luxury for others, for the scribes and for the CHOSEN, each of the precious stones, is a seal that works magic on the parchment.
Whether it's sealing, either to protect.
KEKI, with one of them in her hands, apologizes because, in them there must be many questions, she will do her best to answer them, she also thanks them for having accompanied her until that moment, look again at TOIRE, who smiles a little.
She narrates that every time, for more than a thousand years, there was a power leak from the PRINCESS of a thousand years, such power was established in the humans who lived in the vicinity of the castle of UNDERWORLD, through the inheritance, from that time, every time a baby is born... (look down and gradually change by enduing your features as you speak, it is the only expression you will show during the talk, the most attentive and serious is WAPURO) ... the elders of CHOSEN, they will visit the newborn if, at the time of birth, a shooting star crosses the sky, that indicates that, that baby was born with the power of a star, also tells the parents, that it will be the last time they will have their son or daughter in their arms, (OKE and ESU are affected by knowing it) the last time they will see him in his whole life.
When the elders go to see the child, it must be delivered.
INKU AND TOIRE are outraged, that means that she, too, was taken from her parents, was denied the opportunity to have her family... like them, others see her moved.
KEKI continues the narrative.
That newborn is taken to the temple to be cared for by the monks of the temple, from that moment on, will be prepared to be a sacred sorcerer of CHOSEN, for that star has blessed him with magic, but also with a duty to which he cannot refuse.
No one has.
WAPURO is very serious, look at KEKI fixedly, attentive to every expression of it.
As much as it has been affected, KEKI has shown no feelings in telling the story of CHOSEN.
KEKI explains that, the surrounding villages were created millennia ago by the founders of CHOSEN, elected searched for a partner, their children brought couples from other farthest villages, so it has been for a thousand years, so they were feeding the people until they made it great, it has subsisted for generations, even if some descendant is blessed in a distant place at birth , the elders have the power to locate him.
There's no way to hide a star after all.
KEKI winces, trying to draw a smile on his tense face.
TOIRE, concerned, approaches KEKI, he, after he doubts it for a second, asks him that if they also have the right to start a family like those founders?
After all, they'd be under the CHOSEN regime, right?
KEKI looks at him with some coldness, she explains that no, only those who inherited the blood of the founders live to procreate sorcerers, that which inherited the star, do not follow the same standards, the descendants of the founders, for generations, have no other goal than only to strengthen themselves physically, spiritually and mentally to face evil day by day.
ESU says that's very sad.
WAPURO gets closer to KEKI and tells you that you haven't answered yet, what does NEMU have to do with all this?
KEKI says his father is the one to tell him.
UISUKII replies that NEMU is the daughter of a gentle and beautiful woman from CHOSEN.
This changes the perspective of those present.
KEKI clarifies that it is true, but, not just any woman, she is the daughter of a high-ranking leader and she, for some reason, possesses her power.
Everyone (except TOIRE) turns in amazement and at the same time intrigued (except UISUKII who is saddened and thinks that's what cost his majesty' life, CHOSEN's wife), UISUKII narrates that, in those mercenary and beast years, they vilely attacked the kingdom.
There was a silence.
INKU looks at TOIRE who, bewildered, clenching his fists, with some sweat on his forehead, his face looks reddish by the rage that engsies him, INKU, sees KEKI still looking at TOIRE coolly.
Words come out of TOIRE's tight jaw, who, very seriously, asks if love knocks on his door?
After all she is a human being, she is human and the... KEKI is surprised in an instant turning his sight away from him, rushes to answer that no, is not possible (he blushs, and is surprised to feel so, it is uncomfortable), they (THE CHOSEN) have a divine duty, (she looks back at TOIRE, she is surprised to see how upset she is, in her gaze you can see despair and anger, that makes her feel guilty , she doesn't want to hurt him) and if that happens... everything, it would all end...
(TOIRE asks him raising his voice: everything?
What would end?
Would your life and that of others end?
Or would only that regime that controls the private lives of people with stars end?
KEKI is taken out of her stable mental state.
She loses control for a moment, gets up, going back a little to the opposite side to the one to which TOIRE is, INKU has become alert, if things get out of control, she will have to intervene.
TOIRE's reaction is to approach KEKI, who, not knowing what to do, slaps TOIRE.
Everyone is surprised, including KEKI and TOIRE.
