The Balinor Chronicles: The Celestial Herd
Chapter 16: The Tale That Follows
Some would argue that the tale of they who follow is not as important as it is said to be. Some would say that regardless of when, it would have happened. Some would say that even if it didn't, he would have found another way in. Some would say that if it was not done by these ones, then it would have been done by others. Perhaps they say true. Perhaps they don't.
We may never know.
The tale that follows after may seem highly irrelevant to the tale that is being told. The tale that follows may seem out of place, lost, and confused. It may seem to be a tale of coincidences, too many to be true in reality. But in the broad view of things, it is needed in the same way that a door needs a key, buried treasure needs a map, and a secret needs to be told.
What happens next is pivotal, despite what some would say. In the next few fables, the tales of many will be decided by the wishes of a few. These wishes will result in the deaths of many, lives of many, the pain of many, and the hate of many. Without these next few tales, I would go so far as to venture the idea that none of these chronicles would even exist.
Maybe you should decide for yourself.
