Send us Fan MailThe narrative now shifts to  Bazen, now known as Balthazar, King of Aksum. He recounts the mystical and prophetic journey that led him to join a gathering of extraordinary individuals, all drawn by a miraculous star heralding the birth of a divine child.Balthazar, descended from the House of Solomon and Sheba, recalls his youth steeped in learning, martial skill, and spiritual wisdom. A vision of a pulsing star awakens a deep calling in him. Shortly afterward, a mysterious fleet arrives at the port of Adulis carrying a diverse and mysterious group: kings, queens, sages, warriors, a former slave poets, and a prophet.Each of these travellers share their visions, dreams, and reasons for their pilgrimage. Despite their different origins—royalty, slavery, scholarship, and the far future—they are united by a shared experience of divine calling and an otherworldly star that calls not to power but to humility, peace, and truth.The travellers take a solemn vow. The eight companions—each representing different aspects of creation and human striving—form a sacred fellowship, the League of Star Bearers. They swear not to seek power but to serve the light, to protect the child whose birth will change the world, and to bear witness in silence, truth, and unity.Loukia sings a hauntingly beautiful song—a poet's offering that encapsulates their mission. The star sinks below the horizon, and the League sets forth on a journey not of conquest, but of reverence, remembrance, and revelation.Support the showSend your comments to [email protected]
