Six Sentence Story: Daniel, The Ring Of The Dream Whisperer

Although Nimrodwannabe’s love for the magicians was nonexistent, he did favor Daniel who arrived in Babilopolis after Nimrodwannabe subjected Jerusalem to his will. Unlike your run-of-the-mill magician Daniel was able to interpret Nimrodwannabe’s dreams so well that Nimrodwannabe placed him over all of the unloved magicians and gave him the Ring of the Dream Whisperer.

Daniel was also made a eunuch.

I know, I know that might sound shocking – and maybe I got the story wrong – but think how shocking it would have been to Daniel considering that the operation (however it was done) was nonetheless done in the 6th century BC! On the bright side, it would mean that Daniel didn’t have to worry about the teasing, the battings of eyelashes and all of the other forms of witchcraft coming from the less loyal cuties of the royal household allowing him to focus his attention on some of the more jealous magicians who liked Daniel even less than Nimrodwannabe liked them.

But in spite of everything and although Daniel himself longed for Jerusalem, he was quite happy in Babilopolis as the royal dream whisperer and ruler of the those pesky magicians.
