Everything went fast for the people of the territory from that point forth.
For the Gehenna Tribe, it was a tense time.
That night, Thalia pulled herself together. She accepted her role, and truly accepted her responsibility.
Truly maturing as she wanted to would be a slow process, but what mattered was her choice to persevere.
As long as she didn't give up, she'd get to where she wanted to be.
That was a foregone conclusion.
When Thalia returned to the tribe the next morning, she immediately gathered the elders and told them about Damien's proposition.
After speaking to them about it, she took it to the rest of the tribe.
Everyone deserved to have a say in this.
For the most part, they were terrified. They didn't think they were nearly good enough to become rulers above trillions of people.
That simply wasn't their role in society.
