Terror contorted Garet's face as the king gripped his throat.
His power renowned, Garet had never been at the mercy
of the Great King. He deserved death. Decades of treason
sealed Garet's fate.
Releasing his iron grip, the King raised his right
hand, silencing the onlookers. Garet's heart
seized with fear.
'Crown this man with lovingkindness', the King demanded.
'Cloak him in robes of fellowship!'
A torrent of regret flooded Garet. 'My Lord, forgive me!
How could I have so misjudged you?'
The King lifted Garet, 'Kill a fatted calf... tonight
we rejoice! This our enemy is now destroyed!'

Abe Lincoln inspires this entry with his quote:
'Am I not destroying my enemies when I make friends of
them?'
