A hole in the ground

[Bowsling]

Bowsling was one of the expert planners for the soon to be capital. he had already designed a magnificent palace for ruler. However, he was not always happiest when he was designing. He was most content when he dug holes. He was convinced that something much more useful than earth past the surface. One day, he discovered a giant rock under the soil. The only problem was that he couldn't get it out. He wanted help for getting it out. On the horizon though, he could see a hut, with a road leading up to it. Bowsling decided that they might be able to help

After dusk had passed, Bowsling finally reached the hut. He could just make out what they where saying:

"To build a road, you have to dig a shallow hole. Then, you fill it with brick and mortar, making it solid."

As Bowsling entered, without knocking, a dog barked, and he discovered two men ready to chuck walnuts at his head...

 

[civplayah]

"Who are you?" Civplayah asked Bowsling.
"Bowsling," he answered cautiously.
"Do you know of any abandoned housing?" Civplayah had given up on adopting the Guru ho Jana into a family.
"No, but I came in because I heard you talking about roads. I could help. I like digging holes."
"So does Guru ho Jana. It's one way the wind told him to relieve his anger."
"So, you want to learn how to dig holes, too?" That was Cyc.

 

[Cyc]

"Dog." Cyc almost silently snapped his fingers. Dog quietly returned to Cyc's side.

"Welcome, friend. I have just started teaching ciplayah how to build road. He's going to start building his own practice road soon and may need your help. I've seen you around before. Maybe it was when I worked on the round-about where the Ruler will dwell. Bowsling? Hmmm. Can't recall."

 

[Bowsling]

Aww, you guys didn't chuck walnuts at his head

 

[civplayah]

The Guru ho Jana then came in and, full of anger, threw a walnut at Bowsling's head. He then ran out of the room with a scowl.

 

[Cyc]

Cyc's eyes widen. "I'm sorry, friend. That was Guru jo hana. He's been throwing walnuts into the holes that civplayah has dug. Thinks he's planting trees." Cyc shakes his head. "Apparently, he doesn't know your head from a hole in the ground."

 

[Bowsling]

"That's okay" replied Bowsling "But just don't tell Cemyr that somebody is trying to grow walnuts. He'd go bersek."
