Marcus — WDB03 Journal

And I thank them. I am a newcomer to Juramentum. I have lived my entire life in Pulex as a farmer. I have raised a family. I've had children. I have seen slavery all of my life in Juramentum. I see communities working together. I see no animosity between the Kithgi and the nobility, the Patricians. I see fundamental joining to create a better place. And this is a possibility that could never have happened if we had allowed them to stay as slaves the entire time. They came to us. They came to us because they believed in our dream as much as we did. Now, while the Magistrate says that slavery is a vital function, that literacy is a heresy, because they shouldn't be able to be known. These people, these friends of ours, they show us a different way that lifts us, that inspires us to do more. And we just. We would never have had that without them.
