The Ireem Chronicles chanced upon a few of the leaders out and about
already busy doing what leaders do, and cornered them(very politely) for
a post-election thought,
"well firstly i would like to thank all of my family who supported me,
on the one hand i am very delighted and excited to be Leader and I hope I
can live up to everyone's expectations, but I'm sure if I dont, they
will soon put me in my place. I am also delighted that my sister, Miriam
Lemondrop has accepted to be my co-leader and it will hopefully make a
refreshing change to have some estrogen making the decision for a
change" ~Miss Velvet Hamelin, Bedouin Leader, standing proud in the
sands, watching over her people.
"i'd like to thank all my people for believing in me..." ~Queen Indigo,
Djinn Leader. It was not easy to catch these precious words running
alongside our powerful Queen and Elders in the midst of a battle! Few
words but to the point and most heartfelt, as we charged forth crushing
the enemies' defence line.
Along the pathway towards the Chronicles office, it was a chance meeting
with a little imp that brought us the following quote from the new Magi
Leader who seemed rather jumpy, his eyes darting all over the room
whilst talking to us, or he may just be intoxicated for the room did
smell of rum...but forgive us on these speculations as he did sit
hunched over at his desk very focused working like a mad scientist when
the imp led us to his room, and we do know how the magi are with their
experiments and spells..he said this in a bout of sanity,
"Very well. There is nothing extravagant in nature I can place at this
very moment. I would just mention that..." His expression then suddenly
changed as he smiled deviantly, "The Magi will torment those who show
any opposition to our practices." And he stood there with his head bowed
down as he chuckled darkly to himself. Not long after that puzzling
outburst, the Magi Leader suddenly goes from a look of paranoia to a
pleasant smile, "I simply cannot divulge information pertaining to the
practices of the Magi, but I assure you that there is nothing to fear."
His eyes shifted around the room.. as if someone was watching him. He'd
then chuckle and continued, "The Magi will continue our role in the
protection of the Sultana and her kingdom." He says in a confident tone.
Suddenly he seemed to be at a loss for words. He raised his hand to his
chin and tapped it with his index finger "Hmm.. As for how I feel for
winning the election.. " He had a bewildered look in his eyes."I
feel... good I suppose." ~Azriel, Magi Leader.
It may be of interest to some, of a possible link between those of the
Serpent Towers and the immortal powers in the Catacombs, since the
little imp who hails Damien as her leader, also addressed the new Magi
Leader as her Uncle Azriel. This may come to naught or it may bring us
some facinating developments in the sands.
We are ready to report the new adventures and historical moments these
new leaders bring to Ireem, awaiting with interest and observing the
chemistry brought about by the new leaders' styles combined, we quote
the words of a wise man from the far far far far East..
As for the best leaders, the people do not notice their existence.
The next best, the people honor and praise.
The next, the people fear;
and the next, the people hate …
When the best leader’s work is done the people say,
‘We did it ourselves!'
