The Syndicates

“Strength from Unity”

The two mali’ker left their Sedanian armor behind them as they set out. Though they served as good and loyal Goats for many years, Elsil’Ceru had determined that her time had come. She had been a follower for many years, but now it was time for her to be a leader.

 

A day prior, she had discussed her plans with her brother.

 

“Speaking of the Goats...I've been thinking of leaving,” began Elsil, hesitant as she formulated such words.

 

“And what do we do afterwards?” queried her brother, Elsiimah’Ceru, in response. Though he began reluctant as well, he went on nonetheless. “The goats did not quite let us have our own freedom in doing things.”

 

“What if…we started our own group? Mercenaries? Bandits, perhaps? It isn't honorable, but I've been thinking…thinking of the minas.”

 

Elsil was right. It was not honorable, nor was it ethical by any means, but it was profitable. Her moral judgement had been completely clouded by the temptation of minas and wealth.

 

As the Ceru siblings departed from the Sedan encampment, they couldn’t help but feel a tinge of guilt. Was this truly the right decision?

 

Despite their hesitance, they continued to stray further and further from the place they had called home for many years.

 

Only time would tell if they had made the right choice.
