Introduction by A. G. Harrison
 
Introduction
 
From the time human felt the necessity to communicate, he realized the value of the written word and wrote by drawing on cave walls, clay tablets, stones, papyrus, parchment, paper, and today, with the development of technology, he has created e-books.
 
The object "book" is classified in industrial products, but at the same time it is a cultural good. Personally, I emphasize both of its dimensions, but mainly in its cultural dimension. I consider the book to be the most important expression of culture because quite simply, in addition to being the same work of art, it supports all other expressions of culture.
 
As an industrial product, through the many stages of its creation and before it reaches the hands of the reader, it financially supports a wide range of professions, such as writers, philologists, translators, designers, publishers, paper merchants, printing houses, bookbinders, distributors and, finally, bookstores… Let us not forget, of course, that today it also greatly supports the huge online market industry.
 
The governments of many countries, studying and delving into the economic benefits of the book, have invested and supported this industry in various ways, which flourished and offered them great financial gains.
 
Starting with the Sumerians, Babylonians and other peoples of Mesopotamia, who wrote on clay tablets, Egyptians and Romans, who wrote on papyrus, the Jews on parchment, the evolution with handwritten books images in the Middle Ages in Europe, the creation of the first wooden typographic elements and paper by the Chinese, who printed the first books, the discovery of metallic elements by the German Johannes Gutenberg during the Renaissance and the really rapid development of printing in 1450 until 1456 and, finally, during the 19th-20th century the Industrial Revolution, which makes the production of the book flourish are some examples of the value of the written word.
 
The agony and effort of all these civilized societies, over time, in various parts of the world, teaches us that the book is an integral part of human existence.
 
Throughout this course the book records and transports from the depths of the centuries ancient civilizations, which teach us about the mistakes that we can avoid or imitate the achievements of our ancestors and adopt timeless principles and values, supplies for survival. but also the evolution of the human species.
 
By reading a book, we have the opportunity to create with our imagination the heroes of history, landscapes, various objects, etc. In the pages of a book, the author, in addition to his study, research, experiences, also expresses his feelings. He makes us members of his own world and gives us the opportunity to learn.
 
It helps us to acquire knowledge but also to enrich our vocabulary, improving our own writing.
 
It contributes to our mental alertness, increases the ability to focus, improves our memory, helps to develop our analytical mental abilities, entertains us, calms us down and helps reduce stress.
 
Of course, apart from the importance of touch and contact with a hot material, reading a quality book contributes significantly and decisively to our self-education, the cultivation of critical thinking, the upgrading of our aesthetics and consequently contributes to our quality of life.
 
It conveys art, informs, cultivates the spirit and the soul, elevates intelligence, finds solutions to problems, conveys messages, circulates ideas, forms consciences.
 
I hope my books convey a message of personal experiences and you could find segments of your own truth as well.
 
Thank you in advance for being here and being ready to start reading.
Chapter 1
 
Athena stood at the beginning of the aisle inside the palace doors looking over all the decorations. She had chosen the south side of the palace to hold Nasir’s crowning ceremony because the land was mostly flat and as she surveyed the area, a satisfied smile took over her face. Makeshift pillars had been constructed to form a square. Streamers of the crystal colors went from one pillar to another connecting in the center of the square glowing in the sun. Flags bearing the symbol of the Star Ring sat high on each pillar waving in the breeze.
 
A white runner ran down the center creating an aisle covered in her brother’s favorite flower. At the end of the aisle, a large golden stage had been erected with four thrones sitting on top of it. Ahrius, Ira and Rashon along with Ray, Lil Ray and Ransom were all standing on the stage three men on each side of the thrones. Thousands of people stood out over the valley all dressed on their finest clothes. The royal guards stood outside the doors and lined the aisle awaiting the royal family’s arrival.
 
“I do believe you’ve out done yourself princess,” Heronn said coming up next to her.
 
“It’s not very often I get to do what I like much so I tend to go overboard.”
 
“Nonsense, everything looks magnificent. I haven’t seen or felt Trigone this joyful in so long.”
 
Athena nodded in agreement.
 
“I’m proud of you.”
 
Athena looked up at Heronn. He had never said he was proud of her for anything.
 
“I’m not just talking about this ceremony, but also with this war. On more than one occasion you have proven to be a true warrior and have done an exceptional job with the people. Your journey to the mountain was very hard for me. I know I’m not your father but I feel like I am. As a father it was and is very hard for me to watch you grow and come into your own. I talked to Ransom and he informed me about how you handled Vascille, I also know you saved his life. I underestimated you and what you can handle and for that I apologize.” He grabbed both her hands and kissed the back of them. “You have made me proud, your mother, brother and I know Dreymore is proud. You are going to make a beautiful queen.”
 
Athena couldn’t form words of how she felt so she just threw her arms around him hugging him. Tears flowed down both their faces and she finally said her thank you.
 
“It’s time,” Crystal said.
 
They both turned to see Crystal standing with Nasir and Agnis, who was crying, and Pastor Tom.
 
“This is the last time I want to see anybody else crying,” Crystal said. “I know they’re tears of joy but you’re killing your make-up.”
 
Athena dabbed her eyes dry, “I’m ready.”
 
Everyone lined up ready to walk out. Trumpets sounded announcing them and the doors opened up. Pastor Tom walked out first followed by Heronn who escorted Agnis, Crystal and Athena followed by Nasir behind them. Out of the thousands of people around smiling, cheering and the important ceremony that was about to take place, Athena could only focus on one person, Ransom.
 
She locked eyes with him as soon as her vision cleared from adjusting to the sunlight. He had an official royal guard dress uniform on and the royal blue color against his dark skin gave him a clean cut completely transformed look. Athena smiled loving how sophisticated, yet still a little rough he appeared. He smiled back flashing that dimple and mouthed the words ‘you look beautiful’ to her and her heart started to race. She could feel the heat creep up in her cheeks and her legs get weak. She was grateful when they made it to the end of the aisle and onto the stage so she could sit down.
 
Athena and Crystal sat down while Agnis and Pastor Tom remained standing. Nasir stayed standing down on the aisle waiting to be crowned and officially given the throne. Agnis raised her hand to quiet the crowd before speaking.
 
“Hello my fellow Trigonians.
