minific: How to Rule

The next destined ruler of the British isle goes to the lake, to receive the pre ordained blessing of the lady of the lake, like Arthur did in times past.

As they wade out into the shallows, the etherial white hand emerges, bearing…..a bankcard?

“Wait, shouldn’t I be getting Excalibur?” asks the confused chosen one.

The lady of the lake’s inhuman voice flows back through the lapping of the waves,

“The sword was how the land was conquered in Arthurs time.

In yours, it seems having the most financial resources is how you really rule.

We now extend to you an unlimited line of credit.”

The chosen one takes the bank card.

“um, thanks, i guess?”
