Glade of the Parintalia, Lordym of Feyvil

After the four candidates for becoming Mighty Bunny finished their short speeches which announced their intentions to run for the office, the following information appeared on the data pads of the 21 Lords who would be voting in Round 1. (The Lordym of Pika, while not a member of the United Lordyms of Nordan, was granted the right to vote for who would become the Mighty Bunny at election time.)

The panel displayed the pictures of the four candidates, and the three lines next to each picture said: 1) Their full name + their title, 2) The words "First Intended Decree", or what would be the first thing they would do should they become Mighty Bunny, and 3) what their First Intended Decree was. The First Intended Decrees, from top to bottom, were these: Establishment of a Nordanian Capital (Lord Hako), Increasing funding to scientific studies (Lord Shuromin), Dispatching of a spacefleet to Earth to capture thousands of apples (Lord Oscura), and Creating a program to teach how to run military-style (Lord Java).

To vote, all the Lords had to do was press the panel that contained the picture of the Lord they wished to vote for. Pretty soon, Lord Pik, who presided over the elections, gave the results of Round 1 of the voting.

Lord Pik: The results are in, and I shall now list them. Lord Hako Carocabaji; 5 votes. Lord Shuromin Tewis; 7 votes. Lord Oscura Clofrem; 7 votes. Lord Java Inthani; 2 votes. The Lords Hako, Shuromin, and Oscura may proceed to the next round. Lord Java, you may vote for one of the other Lords from this point on.

Lord Java returned to his seat in his section of the Glade, and this subsequently popped up on his data pad, while the images on the other ones were replaced by this one.

It was nearly identical to the previous image, save that Lord Java was now greyed out, as voting for him was no longer an option.

Not too long afterwards, the last vote (belonging to Lord Matoradi) was sent in, and Lord Pika rose up again.

Lord Pik: Results for this round: Lord Hako; 6 votes. Lord Shuromin; 7 votes. Lord Oscura, 9 votes. Thus, Lord Shuromin and Lord Oscura will proceed into the final round.

Lord Hako descended from the Speaking Stone, bounded back to his seat, and picked up his data pad, which, along with the other voting Lords' data pads, was now displaying this.

The final round commenced. With 7 free voters, it was possible that one of the two Lords would get a large majority of the votes. However, if the opinions of the new voters were split, then it would be a very close race. As it turned out, the latter case proved to be correct. Lord Pika let out a sigh that was almost inaudiable (even for Bouneyes) as he saw the results, and then he announced them to the waiting audience of 149 Bouneyes and Pikas.

Lord Pik: The results for the final round are now in! The vote was very close, and the winner won by only one vote. Lord Shuromin recieved 12 votes, while Lord Oscura has 11 votes. I would like to be the first to congratulate Lord Shuromin Tewis, the First Mighty Bunny of Nordan!

As Lord Pik was speaking, the image on all the Lords' data pads changed to reflect this announcement.

After most of the Bouneyes and Pikas present had congratulated Lord Shuromin, now known as Mighty-Lord Shuromin, he hopped back onto the Speaking Stone to make a short announcement, while Lord Oscura returned to her part of the Glade.

Mighty-Lord Shuromin: Thank you, all of you, for your support. I would now like to announce the creation of the Nordanian Scientific Institute, which shall be formed from the merging of any and all scientific organizations from the Nordanian Lordyms. All funding for scientific purposes will be diverted to said Institute, and said funding shall also be increased by 50%, in which the increase shall be paid for wholly by the mining of the shahm terebinthi whit of Criznelkart. Creation of this organization will be an excellent job creator for Nordan, and will provide those who will work there with an excellent source of income, as the minimum wage for working at the Institute will be 30,000 Grenelaki. The headquarters of the Institute will be in the former White Hills Science Labratory in Criznelkart, but branches of the Institute will be located wherever other scientific labratories and institutes were formerly organized.

An image of the White Hills Science Labratory suddenly appeared behind Mighty-Lord Shuromin, coming from his personal Holoprojector.

Mighty-Lord Shuromin: For those who have never been to Criznelkart, the White Hills Science Labratory is the central scientific institute of the White Hills, and like most other things in Criznelkart, is built on top of the largest lake in the Northern Hills, Lake Izen. Due to the altitude at which Lake Izen is located in the White Hills, it is permanently covered by a 9-meter-thick layer of ice, upon which most of the City of Criznelkart is built. For those buildings which are too massive to be supported by the ice layer, great poles of steelstone are driven deep into the lakebed below, to take most of the pressure off the ice.

Mighty-Lord Shuromin paused for a moment, and then continued.

Mighty-Lord Shuromin: In their current state, the facilities at the White Hills Science Institute are woefully inadequate for such a task, despite their containing the most advanced scientific technology in existence in the Northern Hills since the destruction in an unfortunate accident of the Feyvillian Antimatter Plant three decades ago. For this reason, we are currently working on upgrading the labratory, which is no easy matter considering that Lake Izen is always experiencing sub-zero temperatures. Anyways, that sums up my First Decree. I shall now step down.

Mighty-Lord Shuromin returned to the section of the Glade reserved for the delegation from Criznelkart, and Lord Hako stepped up once more.

And so, with the election of our new Mighty Bunny, the 126th Council of the Parintalia has come to a close. You may all stay here in Feyvil for as long as you wish to, although I don't imagine many of you will, as some of you have been away from your lands for as long as 11 days now. Goodbye, and sleep well.

Then, for the first time in 10 days, just as the first of the three Boneilan suns began to rise above the horizon, Lord Hako and his entourage stepped onto the path leading to the Glade of the Parintalia, this time going downhill. He was soon followed by nearly all the other Bouneyes in the Glade. Soon, only two were left - Mighty-Lord Shuromin and his close friend, Lord Arktos.

Lord Arktos: Congratulations on your election, Shuromin!

Mighty-Lord Shuromin: Thank you Arktos. Want to go get a snack before we go to our quarters? I wouldn't mind sampling the local wildberries, to compare them to those back home.

Lord Arktos: Sure, but only if you give me another one of those blehsham!

Mighty-Lord Shuromin: But I don't have any!

Lord Arktos: Then what's that?

Lord Arktos pointed to a blehsham that had apparently fallen to the ground sometime during the past 10 days.

Mighty-Lord Shuromin: *quickly hops forward, grabs gem* You didn't see that!

Lord Arktos: Oh yes I did!

Mighty-Lord Shuromin: Fine, you win. Here's the gem... gotcha!

Shuromin quickly pushed Arktos to the ground and hopped off into the trees, laughing.

Lord Arktos: Hey! I'll get you for that! Now I want half of the gathered berries as well!

Quick as a flash, Arktos ran after Shuromin, who was still laughing...

That's all for now! Please come again to view the next episode of Boneila: History!
