She earned enough to live a decent life, but was sometimes a little bit short. She belonged to the low caste of the society, and had some friends among the servants, beggars and workers. People saw Miriam as cultivated, eager to read and learn when possible, and mastering writing, which she did for friends. She was force of nature, and people saw in their body and beauty the incarnation of a god. She was iron-willed, achieving any goal she set.
Miriam, 44 years old, musician, became the new leader of the family.
In the year -989, Miriam invested all her time and energy in her work. On the next full moon, Miriam slept with a lover that broke her heart. On the next full moon, Miriam fell in love with Farid, a charming man, 31 years old, a thief. Both married and lived together from now on.
