"The document is finally finished, the Great Chamberlain said. Congratulations on your work. You have managed to write a simple text that all the inhabitants of the Earth will be able to understand and apply. Now, you should all sign this text using your ring Seal. "
He distributes rings, provides each child with his own ring, the seal bearing the initial of his first name.
First, the Nameless Girl. But no letter, no initial. She questions the Great Chamberlain with her eyes, but does not dare ask him the question which burns her lips.
He smiles gently and turns to Leonid without any explanation.
When Esmeralda looks at her ring topped with an E... the initial is reversed, as if
we read in a mirror.
Naomi receives the ring in turn.
For each child, the ring corresponds to his name.
The Great Chamberlain takes a candle, makes a drop of wax fall onto the bottom of the parchment and each child affixes his initials with the seal of his ring:
Tenzin first.
All the children assign the text, one by one,in a specific order.
Nothing is done by chance by the Great Chamberlain.
With the Great Watchmaker everything is always just right!
Heidi, and then Esmeralda.
When it is the turn of the Nameless Girl, no initials, just a blank... a space.
Then comes the turn of Charles, the battered boy.
Then Henrique, Ibrahim, Leonid, Domingo, Roberto, Ester ... Naomi and finally the sign.
When all members of the community have finally affixed their seals, we can read:
