"What he told the Nick, that it would be he, the Magician, that would kill the witch", said the Magician, noticing that the Goblin had not been given the momentous news circulating through Forumland. The Chronicles of Forumland... The Magician, the Imperatrix, and the Rebellion For it happened that the Magician had been accused falsely in that province of Forumland called TalkRational, and subjected to unfair and secret trial by its authorities, which had been deceived by a Demon. Now that Demon desired the destruction of the Magician, because he had revealed to some of the populace of that province the true, evil nature of that Demon, having been deceived by that unholy creature when he was still the Trickster. And the Demon threatened the province of TalkRational with plagues and invasions if they did not restrict the Magician, claiming the Magician was full of lies and evil intentions. And although the Chancellor and the Master of Coin defended the Magician, the Ruling Triumvirate, led by the Imperatrix (known friend of the Demon), being both corrupt by nature and under the influence of the vile Demon, heeded not their arguments, and declared the Magician culprit. But the Magician pulled a magic trick, and had the files of his trial be copied. And he sent them to a Gnome, knowing he would reveal them, and thus cause the Magician to be exiled, which was what he wanted; for such was needed to bring forth everything to the light. And the Magician, being wise above the measure of mortal kind, sent copies likewise to some in the province of TalkRational who were his declared enemies, knowing however that they were principled Esquires, and would hate the abuse of the authorities even more. And likewise he sent copies to other exiles and friends, such as the Wise Hermit, a sage who wanders through Forumland spreading the Word. And it happened as foreseen, that the Imperatrix, becoming wrathful at the revelations of the Gnome, cast the Spell of Banishment upon the Magician (a spell, which as the Goblin well knows, is a magic trick which in Forumland closes all gates to a province), declaring him for ever exiled from the province of TalkRational. The Magician then took his abode in the province of Forumland called SecularCafé, known enemy of the province of TalkRational, and there denounced the abuse he had been subjected to by the Triumvirate and the Imperatrix, and the crimes of the Demon; and from there he plotted. Once the proceedings of the secret trial had been revealed to the populace, which saw how the authorities had followed no precedent or established procedure, and were acting in blatant bias in defense of the Demon, the people of the province of TalkRational, led by the Master of Coin, the Chancellor, the Wise Hermit, and the Esquires, fearing for their rights if such an abuse was left unchecked, rose up in rebelion and demanded the undoing of the Spell of Banishment upon the Magician. And the Triumvirate cowered and hid, and the Master of Coin proceeded with a military coup against them, and undid the Spell of Banishment cast upon the Magician by the Imperatrix. And the gates of the province of TalkRational were thrown open perforce to the Magician, and he returned in triumphant silence. But of the Demon nothing is known save that he is gone, having thrown upon himself a Spell of Bannishment, in a vain attempt to cover his shame... |
