The Remnants from Lost Societies and the Word Powers By Bea Augustine Now it is impossible to just start

a new sentence; sentencing is easy and most of the time futile, justice is difficult, and yet feasible. Feasibility studies are often just a good pair of words, with which to validate one`s degree. Validations and certifications, and lots of abbreviations in front of on e`s name, seeking all the time to get more applause in order to buy a new sun vehicle. Fame-searchers are everywhere, claiming that they are the bearers of the truth This is what Ben read in the paper, some days after the lockdown. Reality was different; they all felt overwhelmed and shattered. The magicians had all changed quickly their vocabulary; some of the fame-searchers had prepared deliberate lists of 2000 words, with which to explain all the possible sentiments that the crowds could have. This was like, hundreds of years ago, when youngsters had to study word-lists to come up with the obnoxiousness of the times. Now, in the magic land of Atheria, everybody knew it all about word-lists and sentence-correction and algorithm-building. Long gone were the times when this was only the priority of the rulers of extinguished societies. In Atheria, all the youngsters quickly learned the rules and, still, the storm had shown that there were loopholes in the model. The lockdown proved that there were furtives, no one of them could yet escape; still, there was wrath all over, all the proud magicians turned their magic spells towards the wrong-doers that had invalidated the security systems of the secret tower. The storm had made its top collapse and it had ruined some nearby houses. The people were alive and everybody had happily continued with the house-running and with the usual polite competition with the neighbouring land of Malivia. Ben was a student in the University for Language Studies and he had focused on the search of long gone words that no one knew or understood in modern times. He had learnt in the university that words were powerful to convey an emotion, as strong as to make someone live or just vanish. Some people had vanished sometimes and, yet, there was always someone who knew it and what was necessary in these circumstances was to find the magic phrase, usually obsolete or archaic to make the person return to the place where they were bound to be. Magicians knew it and they were word-builders; yet, they needed the aid of students like Ben, to create for them word-lists and to explain to them the subtleties and varieties, which they needed to cast a spell on the furtive ones. Ben had to know many languages, as the long forgotten past was characterised by hundreds of languages, every population had its own speak and they had to study hard to understand each other. In the modernity of Ben, there were four major languages and it was still hard to learn a foreign one. Ben had to learn lots of speaks and to read tons of books on cultures from the past, in order to be able to give new meanings this was part of his each and every exam, and they grew progressively tougher. Perpetuities and probabilities approached infinity; the mathematicians of old tim es could have never been able to get a notion of this, be it having their powerful at the time machines. Now magicians at the university taught everyone just to remember the rules and notations, and then, to keep it all and to know it at all times. Visual studies were prevalent; everybody had to learn to see and to convey a meaning with a picture. Ben was good at painting and, still, wanted to do more, by gaining word power from examining the remnants of the old cultures and archived languages.
