Chapter 154: Taran
"Mrs. Fuentes!" I perk up as my name is called out in a small child-like voice. "Can you tell us a story?"
I smile warmly and settle onto my bench under the shadowy canopy of our rooftop paradise. A class of around twelve children sits in front of me, a blending of schools from Sector One and Sector Thirteen. Over the years we discovered what a benefit it was to have the children go on field trips and learn together. As the threat of Primitives grew less and less, we started taking groups of children beyond the wall, out into the desert so they can experience the bounty of our planet beyond Sanctuary.
Today they are on my rooftop learning about the value of greenhouses and hearing sensational stories of their mighty Warlord and his rebellious wife, the Desert Wren. I hadn't intended to discuss our past with them, but then I'd broken down and told a few stories. It's good for them to understand what sparked the rebellion and how we managed to resolve it.
