The Year 10,342 of Life — The Royal City
Prince Long-stick dismounted his horse. He tied the beast to the post at the entrance to the Royal House and removed the manuscript from the saddlebag. The first born prince ascended the two steps to the porch in a single stride. Pushing open the door, he entered the foyer of the great house.
Not surprisingly, there was no one to greet him. His father, Red-sky, King of the Royal Family of Life, did not believe in servants.
