Numbers Just Keep Getting Bigger

"The Fates see all and hear all. The king will perform a great act of generosity before the sun sets this day." The king is horrified to hear this, and immediately throws six silver coins out into the crowd to get the prophecy over with before something worse happens. Naturally, Henina catches one. And, naturally, pandemonium ensues.

Henina tends to irritate people. She can't help it - she's bad at shutting her mouth. So when a prophecy is made that someone will stop the war, she figures she's the worst possible choice. Too bad. The Fates have their sights set on her, and it will take all her cleverness and quite a lot of offending the king to foist the prophecy off on somebody else instead. But she can do it. After all, there are a lot of potentials to choose from.
