Finally, I reached the capital. It was a long and dangerous journey. But I did not at all expect to meet the person I met. Under the mask of a respected sage was another aniran. He carefully guarded his incognito and was in no hurry to get out of the shadows into the light of day. Now I have to plunge into court life. To understand the motives of an unexpected aniran, to appear before the local monarch and to get acquainted with the parasites sucking blood from the body of a dying state. But, of course, they are not my main goal. I came to the capital for the sake of the Book. I came wanting answers to fundamental questions. And I will definitely get to it. Even... Even if someone decides to stop me.
