, Jehu. He attempted to by-pass our peace treaty of long ago when he tried to attack us and capture this very temple for his own plans. We agreed twenty-five years ago to do it this way, because enough blood had been shed, and no good had come from it. He violated it when he took you into hiding, using our pursuit after his treachery as justification. But come, in the face of impending doom we cannot squabble over past wrongs, but must move to prevent future disaster from striking." "What is so important about this Temple of Time, though?" I asked. Wagner and the King mumbled together that "It was an essential part of the restoration of Daem", but would not elaborate, saying that it was unimportant to the present troubles. They looked guilty as they said it, though of what I did not know. I was reminded of my indignation at their ignoring of the sufferings of the Munams and became once more impatient with their self-importance, so I yielded the floor and they began to make their cases. CE YOU TO HIS OWN SIDE JEHU HE ATTEMPTED TO BUYPAS OUR PEACE TREATY OF LONG AGO WHEN HE HAD TRIED TO ATTACK US AND CAPTURE THIS VERY TEMPLE FOR HIS OWN PLANS WE AGREED TWENTY FIVE YEARS AGO TO DO IT THIS WAY BECAUSE ENOUGH BLOOD HAD BEEN SHED AND NO GOOD HAD COME FOR IT HE VIOLATED IT WHEN HE TOOK YOU INTO HIDING USING OUR PURSUIT AFTER HIS TREACHERY AS JUSTIFICATION BUT COME IN THE FACE OF IMPENDING DOOM WE CANNOT SQUABBLE OVER PAST WRONGS BUT MUST MOVE TO PREVENT FUTURE DISASTER FROM STRIKING WHAT IS SO IMPORTANT ABOUT THIS TEMPLE OF TIME THOUGH I ASKED WAGNER AND THE KING MUMBLED TOGETHER THAT IT WAS AN ESSENTIAL PART OF THE RESTORATION OF DAME BUT WOULD NOT ELABORATE SAYING THAT IT WAS UNIMPORTANT TO THE PRESENT TROUBLES THEY LOOKED GUILTY AS THEY SAID IT THOUGH OF WHAT I DID NOT KNOW I WAS REMINDED OF MY INDIGNATION AT THEIR IGNORING OF THE SUFFERINGS OF THE MUTENHAMS AND BECAME ONCE MORE IMPATIENT WITH THEIR SELF IMPORTANCE SO I YIELDED TO FLOOR AND THEY BEGAN TO MAKE THEIR CASES
