FROM A LEADER'S DIARY - THE THIRTY-FIFTH MONTH
===============================================

I. ON ROADS
-----------

The last stone of a road was laid this month. Nobody cheered. A
road is the only work in the world whose success is measured by
nobody noticing it, and the masons have taken this personally.


II. ON WINTER
-------------

The weather has turned and every journey now takes twice as long
as the map promises. Our riders blame the horses, the horses
blame the mud, and the mud, as usual, has nothing to say.


III. ON OLD THINGS IN THE GROUND
--------------------------------

There are places in this land where the dead keep house. We are
told it is impolite to call on them uninvited. We are told a
great many things.

Every day, the Konungr went to the hof and prayed to the gods. Every day, he asked for the same thing: wealth. Gold. Silver. A treasure beyond counting.

He prayed so hard, so long, and so loudly that the hofgoði themselves began to lose sleep.

Finally, the priests could take no more. They gathered at the altar and prayed to the gods:

"Please. Just answer him. Give him something. Anything. We cannot listen to this anymore."

The gods were silent for a long moment. Then a voice rolled through the hof like thunder:

"We would love to give him a treasure. We have one ready. It is buried in his own courtyard. But he has never once dug a hole in his own yard. What do you want us to do?"

"There's a note," began Mungo.

Badvoc was feeling last night's mead, for they did say that the fruit of the bee had a sting more potent than the wee beastie itself, but he manfully bestirred himself to at least pretend to look like he cared about the business of being chief.

"It's from Kevin.  He was supposed to be having a shufti around that desert near our town and it looks like the locals aren't playing nice.  Ran him off when he tried to pass by," mused Mungo thoughtfully.

If it had been slightly later in the day, or perhaps if the sun hadn't been so bright, or Mungo not quite so loud, things might have gone differently,

"Who are the locals?" asked Badvoc with a not of... frustration... creeping into his voice.

"The Dune Outriders, apparently," replied Mungo.  "Perhaps they like spice, perhaps they just like the oeuvre of Denis Villeneuve."

"Don't care," replied Badvoc, rubbing his temples in some pain.  "Wipe them out.  All of them."
