Chapter 3

In Which We Encounter Several Other Persons, Many of Them Still Alive, With an Interest in the Fate of the Fallen Star

There's this place called the Stormhold. The first lord of Stormhold carved it out of the peak of Mount Huon, where it perches high in the sky among storm clouds.

By now we're onto the 81st lord of Stormhold, and he's on his deathbed, so he summons all his kids, and they come to him, both the dead (the ghosts of Secundus, Quintus, Quartus, and Sextus) and the living (Primus, Tertius, and Septimus).

The dying lord removes his topaz necklace (you know, the one whose wearer, if of Stormhold blood, becomes the ruler of Stormhold) and tosses it out into the night sky. He tells his sons that whoever retrieves it will become the next lord of Stormhold. It glimmers and falls, like a falling star.

The brothers take care of their father's body before setting out to find it, or trying to kill each other. Less competition is better, right?

In another part of Faerie, three old witches, the Lilim, live in a hovel. It's pretty dirty.

The only clean thing in the hovel is a gigantic black mirror… inside of which, three women live, though they aren't old like the witch sisters. Their movements mirror those of the witches, though. Mysterious, right?

One of the sisters cuts open a dead animal to use its entrails to divine. She gets all excited, saying there's a fallen star, and it's about time; they decide to send out the eldest sister to fetch it.

She reaches inside a box for a small golden something that tries to evade her grasp, eats it, and then becomes young and beautiful again (and simultaneously, one of the three women vanishes from the black mirror).

So the witch-queen sets off to reclaim the fallen star. Bad news, we're guessing.

In still another part of Faerie (because it's, like, huge), in a glade, a bright light shines brighter and brighter.

Suddenly it's extinguished, and a female voice says ow and a choice curse word or two.

Read the excerpt below from "letter from birmingham jail" and then answer the question below: "my citing the creation of tension as part of the work of the nonviolent resister may sound rather shocking. but i must confess that i am not afraid of the word "tension." i have earnestly opposed violent tension, but there is a type of constructive, nonviolent tension which is necessary for growth. just as socrates felt that it was necessary to create a tension in the mind so that individuals could rise from the bondage of myths and half truths to the unfettered realm of creative analysis and objective appraisal, so must we see the need for nonviolent gadflies to create the kind of tension in society that will men rise from the dark depths of prejudice and racism to the majestic heights of understanding and brotherhood." how does king's repetition of the term "tension" impact the meaning of the text? dr. king says that he is afraid of the word tension and he doesn't think it is necessary. dr. king repeats the word tension to explain how he sees the word as a negative force that discourages change. dr. king repeats the word tension unintentionally, and it doesn't impact the meaning of the text. dr. king repeats the word tension to support how he views the word tension as positive and growth-producing.
