Chapitre 8: OF FATHERS AND SONS

"Of my son, my one and only fleshly Offspring, so named Marcus Angleo Gerrystock, I bequeath all my worldly compiled knowledge including: all the contents of the Gerrystock-Hertford library collection, and my private diaries and notaries"

Excerpt from a one Angleo Gerrystock's last will and testament

***********

When common men talk of power, real power, they think of tangible things like raw strength, and visible things like charisma and charm. When the kohze' talk of real power, they mean all that and more. They mean excelling at one's discipline, and proving yourself beyond peer. They mean having a wealth of mastery over harnessing, having an incomparable depth of knowledge. They mean men like Marcus Gerrystock, Abe's father.
