Dear Readers,
The judge said in light of everything, the artifact was indeed the Founder's Orb and Paul Atishon-Wimperson was the suspect in Dr. Buff's murder.
Phoenix thanked me for helping him realise he didn't have to keep bending the truth. I blushed and said not to mention it. Athena was thrilled too! The answer to the riddle set us all free to pursue the truth! Of course, I had Dhurke's encouragement about never yielding to get to the truth.
With no more objections, the judge asked Dhurke to take the stand. He did silently with a smile. The judge said the court awarded the orb to the Defiant Dragons per the stated transfer agreement.
There was applause, there was confetti rain... it was great! Also a nice little twist on the usual happy endings.
The judge then said if the Kingdom of Khura'in claimed ownership, the matter may have to be deliberated in court all over again. He was hoping, and in this case, praying that he wouldn't be the one presiding over the issue. Dhurke laughed, saying something like that might cause an international incident, but now there was bigger fish to fry. The revolution of course. The judge declared court was adjourned.
