Chapter 25 (Duty Is Heavy As A Mountain)
Sanctume is slow to trust others.This is the conclusion of Sanctume’s released journal in Breadbowl, Summer of 240.22nd Galena
The duke summons for me this morning.
On my way to the duke’s office, word reached me that
my daughter, As Vucarstinthan, is throwing a tantrum! She’s an adult and have her own family. But still, this is troublesome.
The Cook, As Vucarstinthan and the Weaver Goden are on their way, separately, to Mayor Quasar’s office.
I glimpsed the cook enter the office first, followed by the weaver.
The cook goes in the mayor’s office, but the mayor is not there (yet).
As soon weaver arrives in the mayor’s office, the cook punches the weaver and starts throwing a tantrum!
The weaver gets beaten up inside and runs around.
The mayor arrives and tries to stop the fight.
The cook turns on the mayor and starts beating her up, BAD.
Sanctume hears the fight and runs in to investigate, and sees his daughter beating up the mayor, Quasar.
Sanctume intervenes by putting himself in between, but to no effect.
Mayor lost ability to stand.
The duke comes in from his office, sees the mayor and carries her away, tears in his eyes, presumably to the hospital.
The cooks start fighting the dog and the weaver again.
Sanctume can’t get himself to attack his own daughter.
The duke turns around and shouts, “Congratulations Sanctume, You are promoted to Captain of the Guard! Clean this mess up with your daughter.”

The Duke Gwolfski carries Mayor Quasar to the Hospital bed...
and he immediately leaves to Report a Crime.
But Doctor May is on her break…

31st Galena
I do not know what will happen. I do not know what entails the position of Captain of the Guard.
I do know that I mandate certain luxuries, including demands for jails, chains, cages, more cabinets, armor stand, weapon rack, dinning and even tomb.
Perhaps I will have to jail my daughter in time.
But I would dare say that I was being trained for this position for there are schemes within schemes that I have yet to learn.
It is a puzzle that Duke Gwolfski shows great compassion to Mayor Quasar, and yet she accuses him.
Is it dwarven iron will that holds back emotions to want the succor of a mother's embrace, a sue for peace instead of striking out because one is a witness to great injustice?
A dwarf must have compassion in the core of his being.
In the mean time, I visit a special dwarf.
I said my farewell and I locked the hatch.
