River That Doesn't Flow

A story about breaking free. Get rid of the shadow of his father's failure, get rid of the master's control, get rid of the old rule of "a vassal will always be a vassal". There is no golden finger, no script of time travel and rebirth, just a man caught in the cracks of history, using twenty-one years of forbearance in exchange for a comeback. When he finally sat down on the wolf-skin-covered chair, he did something no one expected. He does not make the sea. The sea will dry up. The river will flow away. He dug a well.
