A Se’Var Night’s Tale
By Arealius the Sailor, Scribe of the Port Olni Caste
10th Day of Se'Var - The Second Resting, Year 10,174 Contasta Ar
In Port Olni, where the sun dipped low,
Arealius, a scribe, his tales would show.
Se'Var's night, the longest of the year,
A time for reflection, and memories so dear.
He huddled in his shop, quill in hand,
Paintings and scrolls, his stories to stand.
But then, a chill ran down his spine,
The room faded, and a figure divine.
Korus, a warrior, with leather and steel,
Emblazoned with the Priest Kings' seal.
"Greetings, old scribe," his voice so low,
"Tonight, we revisit your past, don't you know."
With a wave of his hand, the room did spin,
Arealius transported, his youth within.
Port Kar's docks, where he once did stride,
A young scribe eager, with heart full of pride.
He forged alliances, without permission's might,
Nearly costing his life, in the dark of night.
A Black Caste assassin, with eyes so cold,
Emerged from shadows, young Arealius to hold.
"Kill me not here," the young scribe did plead,
"Take me to my accuser, my honor to read."
Korus nodded, with approval so true,
"Your bravery saved you, and the warrior's code too."
The scene shifted, like a canvas so bright,
Arealius faced his accuser, with heart alight.
A wealthy merchant, with sneer so wide,
Met justice swift, by the Black Caste's stride.
The warrior's sword flashed, with honor's might,
Ending the merchant's life, in the silent night.
Arealius watched, awestruck and so still,
As the scene faded, like a Se'Var chill.
Korus regarded him, with eyes aglow,
"Honor guides Goreans, your youthful folly to show."
Arealius nodded, reflecting on his past,
May the Priest Kings' wisdom forever last.
Then, a Physician appeared, with lantern so bright,
"Remember Ianda's raiders, and your sword's plight?"
Arealius' eyes widened, with a smile so wide,
"Lady Sorana, my defense, with cutlass beside."
Arealius then frowned, as he remembered well,
“My sword skill so lacking, we nearly died!”
The Physician vanished, like a spirit so free,
Arealius pondered, the visits yet to be.
Three more emissaries, with tales untold,
Would reveal forgotten stories, like a Se'Var gold.
A Builder materialized, with voice like stone,
"Recall Kassau's mapping, and your capture alone?"
Arealius chuckled, with a twinkle in his eye,
"My forest craft skills, a comedy to the sky."
The Builder took him back, through years so long,
Arealius relived his capture, and his wrong.
He tripped and stumbled, through forest deep,
A Forest Girl's laughter, his heart did keep.
Vina, the leader, with eyes so bright,
"You're useful for labor, or pleasure's delight."
Arealius struggled, to earn his place,
But his skills were lacking, with a comedic face.
He burned meals, tangled garments, and lost vulos too,
The Forest Girls giggled, at his mishaps anew.
But amidst the chaos, Arealius found a way,
To entertain, with a dance, in a drunken sway.
His flute playing, sent animals fleeing in fright,
But his storytelling, put the Forest Girls to sleep tonight.
Vina decided, with a smile so wide,
"You're free, Arealius, to avoid our tribe's shame inside."
The Builder vanished, like a spirit so bright,
Arealius laughed, with a heart full of delight.
Two more emissaries, with tales untold,
Would reveal forgotten stories, like a Se'Var gold.
Elder Scribes Janette and Jarvis, with debate so fine,
Discussed Arealius' fitness, for magistracy's shrine.
"Discipline lacks," Jarvis said, with a stroke of his beard,
But Janette countered, "His passion drives insightful decisions, unfeared."
Their debate concluded, Jarvis vanished from sight,
Janette remained, with a knowing smile so bright.
"Arealius' path unfolds," she whispered low,
His purpose revealed, like a Se'Var glow.
The final emissary, an Initiate so radiant and bright,
Appeared with an ethereal glow, on this Se'Var night.
"Arealius, your purpose," the Initiate did say,
"Steward, protector, and servant, on Gor's pristine way."
Arealius' heart swelled, with pride so true,
Tears filled his eyes, with a sense of purpose anew.
The Initiate vanished, like a spirit so free,
Arealius smiled, with a heart full of glee.
The Se'Var night concluded, with tales so bright,
Arealius understood his role, his guiding light.
Steward, protector, and servant, he stood tall,
With the Priest Kings' will, his heart's guiding call.
