The Last Toqeph

As the firstborn son of New Gannah? ruler, ADAM is being groomed to succeed his mother on the throne as toqeph, and he is determined to lead his people wisely and well. Trekking through the wilderness as part of his training, he stumbles upon a village of Old Gannahans. This is shocking, for he and everyone else believed the original inhabitants of the planet had all died decades earlier from the Karkar plague.DAVIYD is one of this remnant. Before his father died, he? told him to look for a young man, tall as a tree, standing in the prism? light. No one knew what the prophecy meant, but when Daviyd sees Adam, he recognizes him as the one who was foretold. He was no happier to see Adam, though, than Adam is to see him, for it? obvious from Adam? appearance that he is a descendant of the Karkar, the people who created the plague that nearly wiped out the whole Gannahan race.After he returns home, the toqeph sends Adam back to find Daviyd and bring him to her. After he does, she tells Adam of how, some years back, she learned that her father? line had taken the throne through deceit?nd Daviyd is the rightful heir. She promises Adam that he will still inherit, not Daviyd, but he? not sure what to think. She seems awfully attached to the newcomer, and it? not like her to see a wrong and not try to right it.Eventually, the decision is no longer his mother? to make?t? Adam? responsibility to choose. Will he right the ancient wrong and lose his inheritance? Or ignore the truth and lose his integrity? (There? also a major subplot involving Adam? sister, but the 350-word limit prohibits its inclusion in this summary.)
