– I’m deeply thankful for this opportunity and will use all my knowledge and insights about this world, to further strengthen our group. – I know I’m the youngest, and little did I walk on the path compared to the founders, yet I will learn from them and take firm steps in the right direction! – Thanks for gathering and celebrating this life altering moment with me … – Gabe started his acceptance speech. – Why wood? You should have made it from lead or uranium – joked Vito at the start. Damian made wooden beads, inscribed with inspirational words.
They quickly arranged for a ceremonial gathering in the yard, under the sky, close to nature. In light of this, Vito slit the bison’s throat to ends its long suffering and hauled back the big lump of tasty meal to the camp. Therefore, they treated the poor animal as the Tao of Manliness’s offering for Gabe’s ceremony. They could treat it and tame it, but they didn’t have the medicine, nor the facilities nor the need for a tamed bison. In the landing zone, they found an injured bison, with a name tag of Valerie. Someone is either peeking and playing around with them, or the Tao of Manliness is more profound and powerful than they ever thought possible. The four men looked at each other and were astonished. Just to signify the right decision, the sky lit up with a streak of fire… and a space pod landed not far east from the camp. Gabe, little flustered accepted the nomination. Taro and Vito agreed with nods, and seeing them Damian nodded too. So, all in favor of Gabe as Pioneer of Tao-Man? If more serious matters arise, we will discuss them anyway, not to mention the Tao of Manliness is … hard, yet not rigid. For overall guidance, you can take that role. You are the most zealous and well-versed on the Tao of Manliness. We are getting there but still not quite there yet – agreed Taro. – Yes, you are a good speaker and know your ways around the people of this world. If you take it too far, we will beat you down, but otherwise no problem from me – stated Vito simply. I could never take such exalted status before you – Gabe denied, but the other three weren’t convinced. – How could I? You three are the founders of this colony. Gabe, you should do it – Damian threw the ball towards the new guy without remorse. With the research and meditation and noble responsibilities I could hardly take the mantle of such important post. That’s like, totally not me, right guys? Damian is the main protagonist, isn’t he? No! This is a role for someone good with words and stuff. Taro, taken aback and confused, felt in his guts that it should not be so and couldn’t leave things as they are. Someone more central and one who spends more time in the camp than outside should take it, so Taro, I nominate you as the ballsiest among us – deflected Vito the honor. – Nah, nah, I wouldn’t dare to do take up this role. Maybe you should take on this honor and wear the heaviest balls around your neck – suggested Damian with a smirk.
Let’s go with Pioneer of Tao-Man, so it has everything in it. I agree, but whoever takes up this role should wear ritual balls… I mean beads around his neck, called the Weight of Man to always remind himself about the heaviness of his duty and make him easily recognizable – said Vito with a wide grin, not even trying to hide his fun. A Pioneer or Trail-blazer of Manliness, if you say so. One who leads the rituals and counsel other believers, even converts if necessary. – … and we are all of the same ideology – this time he was disturbed by Taro’s genuinely fake praise. – Amazing! – admired Gabe’s deep mathematical knowledge Taro. – That’s more than three – continued Gabe undisturbed. – Yes, you can count that far, huh? What a world! – quipped Vito lightly.
– You know guys, we are now a group of four – stated Gabe the obvious out of nowhere.
