The Fire Chief

      It was a time when the leaders were the strongest yet not necessarily the wisest. It was a time when the women were afraid even of their own men. A messenger came. A Peace Maker. A Messenger.
     He brought the message of the Great Law and the Great Peace. A respect for Life. Thanksgiving for Life.
     The ones who had been killing and drenched in blood would not listen to this message of Peace and Good Will because it was from chaos and warfare that they extracted their rights to power and control.
     The Peace Maker continued and through word, thought and action showed the people that peace was preferable to war.
     He showed there is a preferable alternative to kill one the other in a war of attrition whose beginning cannot be found nor has any meaning and whose ending would remove the cruel ones from power.
     He proved to be more powerful than all the leaders.
     To appease him and welcome him he was given the Head Seat at the Mighty Council that was formed. He was made the Fire Chief and his first act of Power was to give his power to the leaders among them and told them that they would no longer make war but would use the law to rule the world and would use their minds for reason. The people were set to use their minds and so the council was called ‘The Council of the Good Minds’.
     War, then, was no more.
