Intoduction -The beginning of the beginning -Beginning (talk to major, adapted from book): ‘What’s your name?’ The mayor was seated behind a plain wooden desk, studying some papers. [Insert reply here] ‘And your surname?’ He continued, stopping only shortly to write down your name in a thick book that had seen a lot of use. Having no idea what a surname is you remain quiet. ‘We all have surnames here. For example my forename is XXX. I come from XXX, so my fullname is XXX of XXX.’ He explained patiently. You debate for a moment before finally deciding on a surname. [Insert reply here] ‘Pleased to meet you than. What are you good at?’ ‘Fighting.’ Your reply after thinking for a moment. The mayor gives a mirthless laugh. ‘So is everyone else in this place. You might as well say “I’m good at cocking my hind leg.” All Wolpertings are. I meant what are you good at apart from fighting?’ Option1: Name skill [Insert reply here] Option2: You ponder the question for a while, but nothing occurs to you. The mayor cleared his throat as though about to deliver an official speech. ‘No Wolperting can do absolutely nothing. I’d go so far as to say that all Wolpertings are capable of doing something exceptionallly well. Wolpertings can do more than fighting. It’s simply that the world has still to get around. Some day we’ll be renowned for our intellectual abilities as well. We are excellent chess players. Right let’s get the formalities over’ He opened a drawer and took out a sheet of paper. ‘Once you have signed this form you’ll be a citizen of Wolperting. That will entitle you to free board and lodging. You’ll also have the right to attend school and use our library without charge. Sign here.’ ‘Huh?’ ‘Your name. Sign here.’ ‘I can’t write’ ‘I guessed as much. Most new arrivals can’t. In that case you will have to bleed.’ ‘What?’ ‘Anyone who can’t write has to bleed. Here!’ The mayor hands you a big pin. ‘Prick yourself. The thumb bleeds best.’ You still hesitate. Do you really want to commit yourself to this? The mayor grunts impatiently. ’So you still need convincing? There are two reasons for staying here. Fighting for one.’ ‘What about it?’ ‘We’ll teach you at our school. Real fighting. I mean not these stupid scuffles any Wolperting is good at. We have the finest instructors in hand-to-hand combat. There are courses in shadow-boxing, wrestling, kick-boxing, night fighting, ax wielding, ball and chain, crossbowmanship, archers, Far eastern aerial combat and of course swordsmanship. And these are just the beginning. ‘ You pick up the pin. ‘The second reason is, that you’ll only find your Silver Thread here in Wolperting.’ Resolutely, you prick your thumb and anoint the form with a few drops of blood.
