Masterpiece //Why is Pagan looking at us like that? Damn, this old man is scary.// “I believe it is time we understood each others position, Gentlemen. We can have no false understanding and expect to work together successfully. Preconceived notions must be put aside.” The old man seemed to be enjoying warming his backside, resting against the mantelpiece of the hearth. Duo inched forward on his chair, fairly sure Pagan would simply order him to park his rear if he stood. He wanted to pace and his thoughts wanted to run a mile a minute sorting the implications of the revelation Pagan would condone the King having not one but two male lovers. Of course the sticking point was still going to be Chang and his overblown attitude toward the tenants of propriety. The man would become The Chang and had to be aware of the do’s and don’ts of society. If one stuck to the heavy dark line of propriety day in and year out, what good was there in living life? Where was the joy? Where was the fire? Why sacrifice every ounce of joy ensuring others could live their lives laughing and loving? One could meet the requirements of every job and still enjoy living. He would need to teach Chang this lesson and pass it on to Milliardo. //Difficult beginnings, but they are the ones worth pursuing the hardest. The reward at the end has been fully earned and is to be savoured. Yeah. Nothing worth having ever comes easy. If the old man is willing to look the other way, even help us, then I know what I want from life.// It would not be easy, some days he would despair of making headway, but he must look back on this day and remember his resolve and his shock that the old man understood and was willing to aide and abet. The memory would be sure to give him the kick in the butt he needed to get him back on track. //One step at a time. I need to bring Chang to the point where I won’t need to fear he will pull his shell over his head and shut me out. I’m dead serious about claiming the Chang of Chang, but I’m serious about claiming the King of Sanc too. One obstacle at a time though. If I lay the foundations properly a building will withstand earthquakes. I’m an architect and engineer and I know how to build strong buildings. This is going to be the biggest design and construction project of my life. It will be my masterpiece. // He must aim for the greatest work his skills could produce. He needed to remember every property of the materials he had on hand to work with and mould them into a shape no one could not look upon and not breathe a note of awe. Yes, he had to craft a masterpiece and he was artist enough he would weep with his success.
