The Priestess' Dream

There were a long line of beds side by side, 20-30 beds in a row, and the old king was sleeping in the middle, laying on his side facing one of his wives.  The priestess was also sitting on the bed brushing the hair of the king’s wife, when she dropped the comb, which fell between the beds.  As she went to look for the comb, the king rolled over on his back and the royal ring fell from his finger between the beds.  The priestess worried that she would be blamed for the king’s loss of power and searched for the ring.  Even one of the king’s older wives came to help look for the king’s royal ring of power and authority, but it was lost.  The power of the king was lost, and he remained in eternal slumber.
