Zurion enters the courts of the prominent Turtleonie Leaders. Angry he raises his voice, "You have failed to lead us, the turtini, to live..." Suddenly he is muffled by two guards and brought into the cellar of the keep. In the cell of Gnu Keep, Zurion finds another turtini and a paperboy, strapped to the wall by chain. Amazed at how miserable they look, Zurion waits until the guards leaves, and unshackles them by zapping away the chains. "How did you do that?" the paperboy asks.
"I will let you know in a while, first tell me what you guys did to end up in this dump?"
The turtini raises his voice: "When the last riots happened, well the guards caught me smashing some windows, it all was so fast. I mean hey we are living in dump like places while the turtleonies can have the great snacky sites closeby the nodes... I only want to live a brilliant live and continue to study shipbuilding, but because of the high living costs I can't afford to practice my art..." "I was thrown in because I wanted to post a story about the riots that put the turtinis in favourable light. Some officials of the turtleonies must have gotten hold of me, and well I ended up here. Others of my kin had warned me that something like this might happen."
"Interesting stories, as I was brought here because I wanted to raise awareness of the slum problem", Zurion answers promptly. "What is your names anyway?"
"I am Pip" says the paperboy. "I am Dante" the turtini answers. "Fine, Dante, Pip, I am Zurion, god of Turtles and Discipline." Zurion reveals himself to the two cell inmates.
"Woah, Zurion, the great turtle..." Dante says. "I expected you to be taller somehow" Pip answers. With a scowlful look Zurion goes to Dante, "I am disappointed in you, as much as the slum situation is a thorn in my eye, you should not devolve into barbarism, not on Gnu anyway. As I admire your determination to build ships I will let it slip, but you must promise to continue your pursuits." Zurion turns to Pip, "You however are a great example of your proud people, as you showed discipline in the face of danger, and did what you believed in undepending on other opinions. I admire you for that, and I bet your god is a proud one to have you." Both of them nod and are relieved. "So what are we going to do about this cellar business?" Pip answers first, "Perhaps I shall write a newsletter about my imprisonment. I am sure there might be interested newspapers, willing to print this infringement of freedom of speech." "Do so!" Dante comes forth with another idea, "Yea, but also write about the slum situation. As a matter of fact rattle your people to help the turtini." Both nod in agreement-. Zurion speaks up again: "Well then I will grant you both with boons and with tasks, if you are willing to work for the people of turtini." "What boons?" "I shall make you immortal, and I shall make you charismatic. Also I shall give you the task to work for the creation of a democratically elected senate on gnu. Do you agree?" "For Democracy!" They both proclaim.
Zurion disguises himself as a turtini again and teleports the two onto kri.
He walks up into the courtroom again.
"Hey you I thought we set you in prison."
"No one can imprison me." Zurion disappears in thin air, leaving a painting of Dante and Pip forging an alliance with Kri to create democracy on Gnu.
"Ascald, God of the Keardai, show yourself to me. I want to speak to you on the matter of your
