1st Granite, 501
We have arrived! Though in our excitement we have driven the wagon up the side of the mountain, and shall be unable to move it again:
But I do not believe this will be problem. We shall dig into the side of the mountain here!
As soon as we stretched out from being in cramped wagon for 12 hours, I held a meeting to discuss how we should begin. My comrades were admirably eager to get to work, but some things must be done first.
"My comrades, there is something I must tell you. You acknowledge my glorious leadership, and know that I am wise and have knowing of all things. The community must be led by it's own will, though. I lead for that is how I can best help the community, but to ensure that we are nothing like the nobility, no one should hold power for too long or else they might be thinking that they are ruling. Therefore, after our first year, it will be the turn of another comrade for the leading."
I could see that this made surprised their faces, but they all agreed that this was the correct way of thinking.
"Speaking of the nobility," spoke up Lafiel, "What shall we do when they hear of our site?"
"They will think of us as a colony for their benefit, and try to extend their reach here," said Kulpamens.
A good issue, and I had also an answer that was good. "It is simple, if they come we shall kill them until they stay away."
I thought this would be satisfactory, but then comrade Nanomage rose from his seat on the wagon. "But Glorious Leader, is it not our aim to destroy the nobility?"
This was puzzling to me. "Yes. That is why we will kill them."
"But then they shall stay away, exist forever, and blight the world. Would it not be better to instead attract as many as possible to our place, and then destroy them all forever?"
This was good loyal thinking, but misguided. I laughed to show him I had no anger. "Comrade, you do not understand. We cannot allow the working class to be under the feet of the aristocracy any longer than we have to. And to prolong it would be to betray them."
He did not reply, but instead sighed and sat back down. I am sure he shall get over these feelings, though. With that, I sent them all to start on their work.
