52 The Balance

"Did you read the assignment I gave you last week Esmerelda?" An aged voice of a forgotten face, from a long since remembered memory rung in her ears.

"Yes I did, but there was something I wanted to ask you about teacher." Her childish voice replied.

"Oh! And what is it?" The aged voice kindly asked.

"The author spoke quite dramatically and sternly about a balance that must be preserved under any circumstance, or else the world would witness more carnage than can be imagined only to achieve nothing, but he didn't say what that balance is, that must be protected."

"Ahhh." The aged voice exclaimed, as he asked "Tell me Esmerelda, do you still remember our lesson on Emperor Azrael the Second?"
