Chapter 98 - A Leadership Quality
After a pause some noise came from the instrument and the hologram continued.
" I would like my remains to be taken back to the city of rockfall and be buried with my family…."
The person in the hologram further explained methods to reach and identify his family members, a daughter and wife.
After the person Explained everything, his hologram disappeared and a screen with many icons appeared.
This black device contained all kinds of information … a diary personally written by the owner, all techniques practiced by the person with seed mantra and many other information.
The officer's name was Ernest and he was a prodigy in ancient times.
At a very young age he had reached the supreme warrior level and was given the duty of managing the ancient mine and died here.
There were different kinds of maps and sketches that explained the whole of the mine.
Dror became really interested in the maps which showed the location of other mines which were located in different places on the planet.
Earnest belonged to a clan whose main business was mining. They had mines throughout the planet, during the time when ancient civilization was still flourishing.
After going through the map thoroughly and comparing it with the current maps of the planet. Dror was able to identify many mining locations throughout the planet.
Many of them were in the open and had already been discovered by the former kingdom and were now under the alliance government.
But when the rebellion took place and the king's palace was under siege.
All the important documents and books that were left in the library and elsewhere were burned down deliberately, so that the 7 families won't find these resources and the current rebels would have a chance to exploit these resources and make a comeback.
But the power of the 7 families and the newly formed alliance government were much stronger than the rebels expected.
Even though the rebels were able to hide the locations of many mines and resources.
The rebels themselves failed to exploit these resources under the watchful eyes of the Alliance government.
Dror had come up with the plan of revolution, but he knew it was not so simple.
Any revolution or war or a struggle for independence always required a huge amount of money to run it.
Dror very well knew that, A Leader should be an efficient fund raiser.
He should have the Charisma and talent to reach out to people and convince them to make contributions to the cause.
Whether it be for a war, starting a new revolution or any struggle for freedom, being an efficient fundraiser was one of the most important qualities that a leader should have.
Usually in a situation when the leader is a commoner and the enemy is powerful.
The leaders will go to the rich on the same side and common people to convince them to contribute to the cause.
But if Dror went to ask for contributions some might consider and contribute, but most will probably treat him as a beggar and nothing more.
As far as taking the money out of his own pocket was concerned, even though his pockets were deep, they were not that deep.
So when he saw the location of these unexploited mines ,he had the idea of using these mines as the resource to fund his new revolution.
But he knew it would not be that simple as collecting crystals from a mountain.
He will need to come up with better plans and lots of trustworthy people to put it into action.
At first when the Idea of helping these people and dealing with his enemies came to his mind.
After the initial enlightenment he still wavered in his mind from time to time.
He knew he had created many enemies, but as he became more acquainted with the rebel's he found that there were different ways to get out of the planet.
Like the smuggling routes used by the rebels.
He might be able to get out of this planet one way or the other.
He might also be able to find Jemin and convince her.
The rebels were friendly to him, he could help them knowing the wrong that was happening in front of him.
But in the end this was their fight for freedom not his, he didn't belong to this planet and he didn't feel much patriotism.
The notion of He as an outsider leading them into the revolution seemed a little far fetched.
But as he started coming up with more plans and strategies.
He sort of started immersing in it and this was his true nature.
This was also the reason he chose to study philosophy over other streams.
He wanted to see what would happen if he really did it…..
On Earth he had only heard stories of great revolutionaries and freedom fighters.
By the time he was born there were no great freedom struggles or revolution and earth had settled down to more of a peaceful co existence.
He always looked up to the great heroes and leaders with great awe.
And now finally a chance appeared before him where he could really live the life of those great heroes and leaders.
He was in truth checking himself.
Seeing whether if he was in the same shoes as those great people, would he be worthy … worthy enough.
People like him sometimes do things without a rhyme or reason.
This is not about selfishness or selflessness, but more like a self exploration.
