30.2- Tales from the Cycle 2
	Soldiers slowly heaten up in their barracks and start to join the chorus. Music rises from the very heart of the city, how wonderful is the first chant of the Cycle, chant of joy and life, and the Soldiers, full of expectation, welcome the exotic Travelers and receive the second egg.
	Pregnant Soldiers now search for a Scientist to mate with. Choice can be difficult, several factors play their role, cast, family of origin, political situation, but seldom it's just the instinct that makes them like each other, and that's how the third egg passes from mouth to mouth.
	In the meanwhile, armies build up, first expeditons are organized, sieges and massacres perpetrated, along with the game of alliances and forecasts. There's no limit to what Soldiers and Scientists can do toghether, and it's a statement that sounds ironic now that I'm an outlaw!
	But let's go back to the battlefield, where Thieves loot over dead bodies, penetrate the ungarded cities, moving in small groups, ready to vanish in the Forest.
	It's there, where roots and walls engage a silent battle, that Scientists, under a sort of spell, secretly meet the Thieves and give them the fourth egg.
