THINGS DON'T ALWAYS GO WELL
REPORTS OF RECENT EVENTS

 

I was sitting quietly in my office when from the street the voice of the caste chief Sir Argos called me, I rushed out thinking there was some alarm or invasion, and after greeting him he told me about a big problem that had happened just before because of a woman.
 

SIR ARGOS hOc OF SCRIBE

 I told him to calm down because he was particularly agitated, after a few minutes I began to explain, his brother Sir Isle Chief Magistrate, had had a quarrel with the head of the builders Sir Relic. I promised myself to question the witnesses and the two Sirs involved and Lady Schera who apparently is the cause of everything.
  Early the next morning I showed up at Sir Isle's office, and he visibly angry and I think also worried, told me that it was nonsense, but that it degenerated when Relic hit him, because he had called Schera by a different name, and that he had won the challenge between them to ingratiate himself with the woman.
 

SIR JAKIS

 It was not a big problem I realized that between two friends sometimes these things happen, and for a woman two men of high caste could not end up in court, so I proposed to talk to Sir Minus the administrator who also worried and even a little angry told me to seek peace between them,  now I was waiting for Sir Relic to interrogate him and convince him to make peace with his friend Isle, I had gone to his office but there was no urgent work to do, so I went to the tea room for my usual black wine, and on the way a woman in merchant's clothes looked around lost,  the closer I got, the more I noticed a resemblance to a woman who lived in Port Victoria, a well-known and important merchant and also wealthy.
  

 When I was near I greeted Lady Tenka, and asked him if I could help her, he told me that Lady Zoey was waiting for a friend and merchant in Venna said that I had business to attend to together, and that at her shop they had said that she was on her way back and would soon arrive.
   I offered to let her visit the city and the great lake, she accepted and took her around the upper and lower city, then I took her to the lake, she was amazed by the beauty of the landscape and the air that was breathed, then she asked me to visit the Planetarium, I took her to the street but at some point I could not find the entrance,  I walked around with her in the area but I couldn't remember the stairs.
    

 Fortunately the commander Sir Jakis arrived and offered to escort her to the planetarium, I of course after the fool I preferred to go back to my usual chair at the tea room, after a little time they returned, she visibly happy told me the planetarium with its planets and stars was beautiful, then Sir Hugo arrived and I took her to visit the shops in the market street and I returned to my work.
  

LADY HANA

   In the afternoon as I entered the café, you hear a woman screaming, it was Lady Schera who shouted at Tenka for soiling her face with a piece of cake and the dress with her cup of tea, Schera screamed for that she had a dinner, she would arrive late for the time it would take her to change, also she claimed that he had done it on purpose to offend her,  but since it was a quarrel between women I preferred to move to the café in front where sitting at a table a figure with strange clothes and a large hat that covered almost all of it, I had already seen the drawings made by Scribe travelers on planet Earth, they were called Japanese, I introduced myself asking him who it was for my curiosity,  She told me her name was Hana, and she was a healer, who came to town looking for a job and a home.
  

SIR MINUS ADMIN OF VENNA

 We talked about the city and the opportunities it offered, then the manager of the hotel Sir Wiey arrived and invited Lady Hana to choose a room for the night, while I retired to my house not far away.
  

LADY TENKA

The next day as I was heading towards the grand staircase, I saw a group of people standing at a corner and approaching me I recognized Sir Minus, Sir Relic, Lady Schera and Lady Tenka, I approached trying to understand what was happening, I understood that it was for the quarrel between the two ladies, Lady Schera had told Relic, and he demanded according to the law that she be arrested as a non-citizen,  could risk being slavery, at this point Sir Minus asked if anyone knew the woman and I said I know her well she was a merchant of port Victoria, I did not know that in the meantime after the fall of Victoria she had moved to Nykus, where I had been for four hands before arriving in Venna,  a city rebuilt on the ruins of earthquake.
  

SIR RELIC

 As I was saying this, two citizens of Nykus suddenly appeared as ghosts, whom I regarded as friends, namely Sir Ulir, the keeper of Victoria who has now become Chief of Merchants, and Sir Amir, former chief caste in Victoria and now a citizen of Nykus.
   Everyone thought that they had come for a peaceful alliance instead they were there to bring back Tenka who according to them was bound to their city, and in the meantime Sir Argos also arrived, certainly annoyed by the cries, he like me was a friend of Sir Amir, and understood the problem as a great lawman. He asked them if they knew the woman, who in the meantime Sir Minus had said that he would not arrest the woman for an insignificant fact, this brought Sir Relic to force Lady Schera to follow him into her house, she reluctantly followed him because he wanted revenge, perhaps jealousy of women, however better they had saved me so much work.
 

LADY HANA PYSICHIAN

  Meanwhile as they were leaving, Sir Amir took Tenka by the arm dragging her towards the ladder but Sir Argos opposed it by asking the woman if she wanted to follow them and she replied that she needed two days for her business in Venna then she would return to them, but they were very angry certainly had faced a long journey for nothing, and they were angry with everyone by offending the city, then Sir Argos invited them to the Inn for a drink of Paga, and they calmed down a little. But they went down the great stairs and disappeared as they had arrived, perhaps they had Tarls outside the walls.
   I now expect to speak to Sir Argos and Sir Minus to decide what to d
