A short story in the Alcantaran series.

Zendo had learned from the star traders and they had given him money to expand his trading business. He was anxious to earn some money, so he could get married. He hired his cousin, Puri and they started on the trade route. Events along the way unwittingly led Zendo and Puri to help spread seeds of change. Puri's love of story telling and singing songs he had made up, helped spread these seeds of change even farther across the country.
