Public School (End)
As Alexander wrote his first history book, he somehow felt a surge of power running through him.
Because he knew he was changing history as he did.
What he wrote would be read by a thousand, then another thousand and another thousand, and then spread from mouth to mouth countless more times.
This book would likely be spread throughout the Adhan and Matrak provinces, meaning it would be his version of the story that would be the 'truth'.
After all repeat enough times a lie and it will become the truth.
And as Alexander realized what he was doing, he experienced an exhilarating surge of power, that honeyed power to warp reality to whatever he wanted.
And he found the taste utterly addictive.
No wonder absolute monarchs tended to go crazy with power.
It was too potent a poison.
Even someone well aware of what was happening like Alexander found it very hard to resist.
