Saladin sat in front of Mother, and his two advisors were standing behind him like statues. "I and my company have made a decision. It was not unanimous but we have decided to follow you. I have read your book, along with the two beside me. It is a world, a vision that I want to see, and I believe our Lord would bless."
Saladin reached behind his back and pulled his golden dagger out. He cut his finger and rubbed his blood over the words on one side before placing it on his two hands, bending his head, and offering it to Mother. Mother smiled and took it. She pricked her finger and dragged her blood on the other side, sealing the deal.
