The third precious thing
As always, I find myself at a standstill for a story. This one is called the Third Precious Thing. A king sends his sons out to find the most precious thing they can find, to determine who will become king next. The first son sets out to find wisdom, and discovers simple beauty. The third son sets out to find heroism and finds love. The second son sets out to find justice... and I'm wanting to say he finds friendship, but I'm not sure how to make that transition. Mercy would also be a good thing for him to find, but I'm even less sure how to have that happen.
and I'm not sure how to have him search for justice in the first place. I have him currently studying law and talking with thieves and murderers, but that's not making for much of a quest.
help?
