Orren took all his strength to keep from showing anger against
Manguino, then he spoke calmly.
"The Mons are a portent of doom and destruction, my ArchBishop. The visions came to us to warn us and to have us prepare for surprised aggression."
Manguino listened to Orren but didn't feel threatened by what Orren thought he had seen.
Manguino was certain that nothing would happen to his rule. Jessuum
Benitar promised him before giving him the puzzling prophesy:
"Tell those of your court, the Prominants, if you will, but never is it to be repeated to you, for on that day when that request is done, so should it be the end of your rule in Pomperaque."
Manguino remembered and he told Orren about it, but Orren didn't believe in Jessuum Benitar's words.
"As long as I do not hear the prophets' words again, all will be well, and since I will not ask it to be read to me, I shall be safe." promised Manguino.
"Do you believe in a prophesy that may have no merit and dispel that which your most
trusted servant, and others, have seen?" Orren was angered and spoke in a booming voice.
Manguino bobbed in the water and Orren just stood there. Both were quiet until Manguino came out of the water and wrapped a robe about himself.
