I have been asked about this many times, my friendly reader. But there is little I can add to what the wise men of the past had said about the nature of power. If you want to ascend to the throne, you must be like a legendary. They are the ones that rise to power, quickly and effortlessly, like the feather of a bird rises up to the sky, sailing the wind and requiring no horse to pull it. For when you need to be pulled, there is going to be a puller, and they will ask of you, and you will be in their debt - and your power will never be absolute.

A bubble rises to the surface of the pond because it cannot go anywhere else. The secret of the legendary is the paradox: they are the most unremarkable person you will ever know, yet the whole world will keep wondering about them until the end of time. This makes them blameless. Like a fleeting glance of a beautiful lover, a legendary leaves no evidence of their deeds. And yet, they single-handedly create empires, build cities, displace whole peoples and make time turn.

I have witnessed him in all kinds of situations. At one point they were about to hang him. And yet, there was an air of calmness about him. He never felt he was in any real danger.
