Before holding the office of Grand Preceptor

Witenius Bennett was born in Cluba. When he was 6, he wrote the first poem. From 842 to 847, he reads his poems in the street and sold them for people to earn money.

Passing the two tests of the Emperor for Grand Preceptor

After Oli Virgo being executed (850), Emperor Brandon Bennett opened recruitment for this position. Many people have joined this recruitment but no one has met the requirements of Brandon Bennett. After hearing about Witenius Bennett, Brandon Bennett invited Witenius to the Palace and says "You have been chosen for this position". Then Witenius replied the Emperor with a poem "
I am just a wanderer
But now I am here
Receiving gifts from the Emperor
How can this miracle happen
" Brandon Bennett then asked him to get the uniform and he can be the Grand Preceptor tomorrow. He asked about his uniform. Brandon Bennett then replied "
Your uniform is red
Hanging on a metal stick
Wearing this will angry you
You must get it now!
". In the next day, Witenius got into a square room, he saw a thin man wearing iron armour and a metal stick. Witenius then asked the man to put his armour off. After the man finishes putting the armour out, Witenius saw a red uniform and then changing his clothes with this uniform. The Emperor is very happy to see a man that fit this position then officially choose Witenius to sit in the position.
In 872, Witenius Bennett has become the blood brother of Emperor Brandon Bennett and joined the Bennett Royal Family. Therefore, his name has been changing into Witenius Bennett.

Famous poems

Amusing myself

Face wine not aware get dark
Fall flower fill my clothes
Drunk stand step stream moon
Bird far person also few

Replying the Emperor

I am just a wanderer
But now I am here
Receiving gifts from the Emperor
How can this miracle happen?

Autumn Air

Autumn wind clear
Autumn moon bright
Fall leaves gather and scatter
Jackdaw perch again startle
Each thinks each sees know what day This hour this night hard be feeling

Cluba Memories

My hair first cover the forehead
Break flower gate before play
You ride bamboo horse come
Round walkway play green plums
Together with live Cluba province
Two little without suspicion
Fourteen become your wife
Shy face still not open.
Lower head face dark wall
Thousand call not one turn
Fifteen starts open brow
Wish together dust and ash
Always maintain massive pillar faith
Why climb look husband platform
Sixteen you far go
Brandon Bennett
The Fifth month does not risk running aground
Ape sound sky on sorrow
Gate before back and forth mark
One by one grow green moss
Moss deep not able sweep
Fall leaf autumn wind early
Eighth-month butterfly yellow
Pair fly west garden grass
Feel this hurt my heart
Because of sorrow red face old
When descending Sebea
Before do letter send home
Mutual come to meet not say far
Up to Cluba.

Seeing Off a Friend

Green hill across north wall
White water wind east city
This place one does parting
Lone tumbleweed ten thousand Bennett journey
Drift clouds traveller thought
Set sun old friend feeling
Wave hand from this go
Neigh part horse call
