In a far time, many products of the soil evolved to develop sentience, mobility, language, and an essentially Hellenistic civilization. At length a demagogue, orphan of a relative of the rhododendron, came to power in one city-state and made desolating incursions upon neighbors. Being threatened, the leaders of one neighbor applied to a seer for advice. "Alas," the seer answered, "you may as well submit. No one can resist the waif of the fuchsia."
