Everything has some form of value. It is the value of a person's moral that allows love. It is the value of an item that allows greed. Money has the ability to turn even the kindest person bad, and the value can either increase or deterioate due to a price.
A price is set on everything. A price is given to allow for a fair exchange. That price changes for each person. And it is that price that has allowed humans to overlook the price for a soul.
The soul of a slave, a Hokulea, had no soul and therefore the price of their service was within a rich mans reach.
Value. To Prince Hector, the Hokulea were priceless and should be treated as such. His face darkened as he watched the sale of one of the dark skinned people with interest. Things had to change. Soon.
Leoanda: See ya tomorrow!
