Chapter 1: Chapter 1
"Do you solemnly swear that you will discharge the duties of this office with impartiality and justice?"
The question seemed simple enough, but the answer was anything but. I didn't know how to judge. What was justice? What was impartiality? Should I follow the laws of this land or make my own?These were the questions that plagued me as I sat in the small wooden chair in the corner of the room.
The room was stuffy but not unbearably so. The smell of pine and cedar wafted in through the open windows, and I could see the green vines climbing the walls. There were two doors, one behind me and one across the room.
