Beginning of the end

When they opened their eyes, they saw each other lying on the ground, and on the ground a circle was engraved with a five-pointed black star and each of them was placed on one of the five sharp edges of the star, and a larger circle was drawn around them, The circle, the lines of which were various creatures that were apparently sacrificed, and whose blood filled the gaps and dimples created by the border between the circle and the star. Sacrifices of various creatures, including even humans, and their stench filled the entire space and increased the fear and darkness of the space with its smell. Five people looked at each other and around them with special surprise and fear, One with the fear that was destroying him, the other with the fear of surprise and curiosity, and the other with the fear of confusion and confusion, People of different races, countries and continents, one blonde, one black, one oriental and one with red hair.

They looked around with fear and trembling, a weak, timid and emotional girl who is not able to do many things, but because she does not disappoint others, she does her best and very willingly, a shy and timid woman who has been deceived and abandoned all her life by people she thought loved her, but always trusted the people who expressed interest in her again, a failed man who has lost his family and property and is depressed and now on the verge of insanity, a boy with energy and strong hope for life who has left his country in search of a better life and a mysterious boy who cannot see anything in his soulless eyes, he has a very hard life and has done everything hard in his country to meet the needs of his life, Noticed something moving through the darkness, and when it came out of the darkness, they came across an ugly woman with wrinkled skin and drooping black lips like a rotten dress, an old woman just like the wizardes seen in horror movies and with a voice and she scratched herself and said: Hello my heroes!

And then she went to them, all five of them standing up in a dry state, but they could not move, and they were very frightened to see the woman who was an evil creature, and it did not seem that the woman wanted to greet them in a friendly way, among them, the black boy had a special courage and tried to escape from there, but trying to escape was futile, and something seemed to have stopped them from leaving where they were and there was not even a specific place to escape, and there was nothing around them except absolute darkness. The wizard was walking towards them calmly with black and yellow teeth that made her face look uglier and there was nothing left for them to do, and this made the middle-aged woman cry among them and their efforts were not enough to escape, but in a few steps, an arrow hit the wizard's throat and he, while standing and looking at the yellow arrow with its green feathered bottom, said: "You do not know that I am immortalizing these arrows of yours and ... Ahhhh

The wizard's body was set on fire with a shout, and he spun around, trying in vain to escape the fire and save himself. It fell to the ground and turned to ashes in a matter of seconds. The five people looked at the wizard in amazement, with only a handful of dirt left, and then looked around in fear and hope, out of the darkness that surrounded them, men came out with armor and clothes made of leather or wool and leather boots, The clothes and shapes that the five had never seen, and those people had never seen human beings in the shape of these five, one of the men, who was apparently the commander, told his men to look around and destroy him if they saw any sign of the enemy and those people were scattered in that environment and the commander (Iraj), who was a man with big and stocky limbs and had relatively long hair, who covered his face towards his face with a headband and had a short beard and a full sybil, approached the five people and said: are you all right?

All of them, although of different races and countries, understood the man's language and after a few seconds, by shaking their heads, showed their health, although at that moment, because of what had happened, they were not fully conscious and were confused. It was strange for people who spoke different languages to understand all the words of one person, even though that person did not speak any of their languages and had a specific language, and when they spoke, they realized that their language was also understood by those people.

Nelson, a black boy of five, had half-curly, tall and an athletic physique, but was now lost in the limbs of the others, and seemed to dominate his mind and body more than the others, and to take control. He asked in a confused tone: Where is the world here? Iraj replied: It is difficult to answer this question, it is better to leave here before answering the question.

The five people were helped by Iraj and his men, who had not yet recovered from the shock, then moved on and they went out of the wizard's house, which was in the midst of a mountain full of trees; The wizard's house was dark and soulless, but outside her house it was colorful and lively, but the five people were worse than paying attention to their surroundings.

They got on the back of a cart with two horses and drove away from the area, and the further they went, the clearer the situation became for the five, as if the situation they are in was not a dream and grabbing their body is useless and not enough to go back to their previous life. Nelson was trying to understand the situation, he told the people who were with him in the wizard's house and now he was sitting next to him and grieving and everyone was looking for an escape route in his own imagination: Does anyone know what happened to us?

Nobody answered Nelson and they looked at him with special surprise, Nelson thought for a moment and this time repeated his question in English so that he might get an answer. This time, apparently, they understood what he was saying, and looking at each other and pausing for a moment, Azin, who was the youngest boy among them, said in broken English: I do not know what happened. The last thing I remember was going home from work.

Another said he was asleep at the time and another said he was getting ready for bed and Gabriel, the eldest of them all, folded his arms around his chest and curled up in the corner of the cart, apparently still in shock and saying nothing. Nelson could not find the right answer from his companions, this time he turned to the people who had rescued them and said: "Who was the woman you killed?"

Ghobad, who was curious about these people with strange shapes and clothes and walked beside them on his horse and constantly looked eagerly into the cart to get to know them, said quickly to Nelson: she was a wizard who wanted to harm the great hero of our country through a black magic, she wanted to use your blood to make a spell, but was killed by an arrow made of pomegranate wood washed with virgin blood.

"Nelson said in surprise," Magician! … However, seeing that scene, one could guess that the woman is not an ordinary person. Ghobad: she was one of the people of Afra, the ancient enemy of our country whose dream is to rule our country.

Nakamo, a Japanese woman in her thirties who was middle-aged, with short and black bangs hair and a cute face that changed her fears and anxieties, said: We do not want to know about your internal affairs, just tell us where we are on earth and why the cell phone does not provide an antenna, otherwise you are a terrorist?

Ghobad, a boy with brown hair and short who, like the other of the people, had a bright headband in front of his hair to come to his face, with green eyes and a chin that made him attractive, he said with a scar on his forehead and the smile he always had on his lips. I do not know what you are talking about, but I can tell you where in the world you are and tell me about my country. Here is the land of Persia and its king is Esfandiar, the son of Goshtasb, our land ends from the west to China and from the east to the land of the Berbers, and from the north to the land of Turan, whose king is Afras and has been our ancient enemy for thousands of years, but they always failed because of our heroes, and now they wanted to cast a spell and kill, which, as always, failed because of the Eternal Guard.

Ghobad spoke to them with a certain excitement, and all of them looked at him in amazement, who raised his hand in saying the Eternal Guard, and understood nothing of what he was saying, except the word Pars, which Azin understood exactly what it meant. They thought they were in a dream, but their efforts to wake up were in vain.

Ghobad, who had seen their surprise and confusion, said to calm them down: I do not know much, but we are going to take you to the king and he must have a good explanation for you, so you just have to wait a few days to get to the capital.

Without having the right to choose, they agreed to accompany those people, and in the meantime they got to know each other better and got to know each other. Without having the right to choose, they agreed to accompany those people, and in the meantime they got to know each other better and got to know each other.

Nelson, 29, was born into a wealthy Nigerian family and moved to France at an early age to pursue a university education and the last memory he remembers from before the wizard's house was the bodybuilding exercise he did every evening. Nelson was a man of will, strong and courageous, and he saved himself in any situation and there was never a problem to defeat him.

Nakamo Shinata, 37, of Japan, high school math master and an ordinary person who has spent her whole life alone and only been in relationships with different men at different times, and all of them betrayed him and abandoned her. Nekamo was always conservative and spoke with a certain fear to the people around her and avoided getting too close to them.

Gabriel, a 44-year-old, of Australian banker, was always on his own, crouching in a corner and not talking to others, apparently suffering from a number of mental illnesses that prevented him from behaving properly.

Taylor, a 23-year-old law student from Chicago, was a girl who had a strong motivation to change and become stronger, but whenever she found herself in a difficult situation, she was overcome by fear and allowed to do the right thing. Taylor initially spoke little because of the shock she received, but after calming down a bit, she became a lively and curious person who asked about everything around her and sought to understand those around her.

Azin, 21 years old and from Iran, was silent and mysterious, with his black hair and black eyes, and he was very calm in dealing with this case, which surprised the others and unlike the others, he was not very interested in understanding the situation and was more interested in knowing the Eternal Guard and their power.

To understand that everyone is from the same time and world, Nelson addressed all the people who were with him: Who is the President of the United States? Nakamo and Taylor called him "Donald Trump" and Azin showed with his face that he agrees with Taylor and Nakamo, and after a while, when Gabriel felt their heavy gaze on him, he said with a certain trembling "… Trump". Nelson asked again, more confidently: 2018 World Cup champion?

Nakamo and Taylor answered correctly, and Azin answered correctly in the same way as before, but this time, Gabriel did not answer and was just busy with his wallet, which contained a photo with his family. Nelson: So we all live in the same place and time, but it is hard to believe that we have been summoned here by a wizard.

They were all silent and thought and said nothing more and they continued on their way, hoping to return to their country by going to the capital and seeing the king. The Eternal Guard looked at the clothes and belongings of the five people and whispered about them to each other, some saying they were evil and others calling them saviors and others saw them as future travelers, Taylor's red hair and blue eyes, along with her white skin and delicate face, as well as the fine make-up that left a special beauty for her from last night's party, had attracted the attention of all the people of the Eternal Guard and a little jealousy.

After passing through the mountains and the foggy forest and reaching the slopes, their eyes, which are now calm, turned their attention to the outside space and to the sun that had just risen. The pristine nature that the animals were grazing in the plains and in the sky those birds were flying, the sound of birdsong was heard everywhere. Everywhere except the snow-capped mountains and the blue rivers and colorful flowers, it was green, and not even a human structure was there to harm nature. Strange animals they had never seen, yellow deer and multi-colored mane, including purple and red, herbivorous wolves that had horns like deer, beautiful cats that, like peacocks, had multicolored feathers instead of mane It was around their necks, a herd of white and pink horses with unicorns on their foreheads, strange snakes with wings like flying wings, and even a little flying power, Birds of different colors and beautiful, some of which, like Bearded vulture, with their large size, even had the power to carry humans, although domesticating them seemed impossible and mammals with rooster-like hands, scaly fish-like skin, and a lion-like head with a very large body that ruled its own region. They looked at that nature in astonishment, and as they went on, they came to strange things, and little by little the signs of human presence appeared, Villages with strange houses, sometimes houses with wooden huts and sometimes mud and stone, stair villages in one on the roof of another, Villages with scattered houses, each house having its own farm, and occasionally encountering huge and strange structures that seemed to belong to past civilizations, and even the Eternal Guard knew nothing of them, Strange structures, some made of rocks the size of a lake and some made of silver and black metals that nothing could damage or even scratch, and all of these structures had some flaws. They were self-decorated, lines that were sometimes regular and sometimes complex and seemingly irregular.

They traveled this route with great surprise and taste, and without realizing it, they traveled for a week and traveled from Tabarestan in the north to the central plateau. On the way, they changed their tired horses, which no longer had the strength to continue on their way, to their own post office presses so that they could continue on their way and reach their destination without delay. They were moving east to reach Toos, the capital of Persia.They stopped only at night to rest, and sometimes even ate their lunch and dinner on horses, as the Eternal Guard was accustomed to, but this long ride was difficult for the five people who had been abandoning their carts for some time to cross the jungle, and this caused burns between their legs. At night, they talked to Ghobad, who was very warm-hearted among the Eternal Guard and talked to them, and Ghobad said with special enthusiasm about his country: our country is an old country founded by Kiwmarth and then ruled by his children and now our king Esfandiareh and of course from the past heroes were protecting the government and the country, including; Fereydoun and then Sam and Rostam and Borzoo and now Bastoor and they did not allow our long-time enemy to take over the country and enslave the people, our country has the cleanest place in this world because of people and to defeat its darkness. Nelson asked in surprise: What do you mean by hero? Ghobad: They are people who are stronger and smarter than ordinary people and are the most important nut for their country in any battle. For example, Iraj is one of the heroes of our country, he is alone and empty-handed with 50 opponents and is one of the commanders of the Eternal Guard, of which the best and strongest fighters of the country are members, but there are also stronger heroes than Iraj, such as Nariman or Garshasb, Athena and Bastoor who are the strongest heroes on earth.

Now, in addition to Ghobad, they met other people from the Eternal Guard, and Ghobad introduced them to each other. Ghobad points to a girl with a bow on her shoulder and a sword with a small blade around her waist, standing next to her in silence, and says: This violent and beautiful girl, name is Iran Dokht, she is one of the great fighters in this group and maybe even the strongest of them, of course, sometimes she gets emotional and this is what makes her strong….and this young man is also called Ardeshir, a great warrior who fights with a great sword that looks more like an ax, Ardeshir is a smart and kind person, although his eyes, which are only looking for beautiful girls, have taken him a little away from the place he deserves.

Ardeshir, hearing that Ghobad addressed him as looking for beautiful girls, stared at him with a frightened look, and Iran Dokht smiled with jealousy. In fact, it was Ardeshir looking for beautiful girls, but he only had an eye on a girl and was looking for her, and that girl was Iran Dokht. And on the other hand, Iran Dokht had feelings for Ardeshir, but both of them never expressed these feelings to each other, Iran Dokht because of her shame and Ardeshir because his friendship with Ghobad should not be ruined because of this issue, because maybe Ghobad, who is so warm with Iran Dokht and treats her kindly, will love her.

Now they were a little warm and could even be said to have become friends and talked about everything. Taylor and Nelson talked about their world and Ghobad and Iran Dokht and Ardeshir about their land. Ghobad, who was an intelligent and science-loving boy, heard the progress of his world in the future, he kept his finger on his mouth and listened to them with great enthusiasm.

Iran Dokht, with her hair as charcoal black and eyes like honey and skin as white as milk, said of her country that it was based on chivalry and honor, and how important respect was in her country and no one did anything to break someone's heart and Don't hurt yourself and on the other hand, Taylor, who had long been silent and warm with them, from the advances of his world, such as the cell phone that came with most of them, the car, and the other of the devices that existed only in the modern world, Wherever nature was, human had changed and beautified it, They stood and took pictures of themselves with their phones, and he also took pictures of the people of the Eternal Guard, which surprised and delighted them, and they gathered around the phone, and sometimes reflected their image like the future, and Sometimes the moving images showed them looking very surprised, of course, Azin did not talk to them much, he was mysterious, quiet and talkative, and most of the time he was alone in a corner with himself and spent his time understanding this world, Gabriel also spends most of his time alone, which was kind of like his illness, Iraj, who was the commander of the guards, was a fanatical and serious man who, while strange, was not excited by the words and gestures of the people who were with him, and only thought of returning to Toos as soon as possible.

Now their situation had changed a little and they were less confused and scared and had forgotten that they were in another world and they spent their time seeing the beauty of this world and getting to know each other there.

Taylor, who was a lively and curious girl, saw Azin's silence and thought for a while why Azin was not warm to them and was not too scared and was indifferent to the situation she was in, When Taylor was riding on Ghobad's horse, it bothered her a little and she needed to be a little distracted, To Azin, who knew how to ride and led his horse alone, and said: apparently you are a quiet person and you are very impressed, because seeing this strange thing makes you so cold, you are kind of weird.

Azin answered with a cold and reluctant look: I was always hurt by those who talked a lot, by people who only did what they did or wanted to do, or the others talked about doing and never doing what they said, so I learned not to talk too much, even if I could not do anything.

Azin moved his horse a little faster and fell ahead of them and distanced himself. Taylor noticed Azin's reluctance to talk to him and said nothing more and Ghobad, who was sitting next to him on the horse, said softly, so that only Taylor could hear: apparently, that boy is very proud of himself.

"Looking at Azin," Taylor said: I think he is suffering from something. But Ghobad was wrong, Azin was not a proud and selfish man, he only learned from a child that he does not need new friends and relatives and they only cause suffering!

After a few days of moving and crossing white and brown mountains, dense and inaccessible forests, roaring rivers, lush plains full of flowers and hot and cold deserts! They finally saw the city of Toos from afar, and the journey, which began in the mountains along the Caspian Sea, finally came to an end in the eastern plains. The city seemed rocky and dynamic from a distance, and the closer they got to the city, the more puzzled and intoxicated they became, a large circular city with large white walls that stretched around the city and there were four gates in the four corners of the city and houses between the walls and formed a hill of mountain houses, on its summit, there was a large and magnificent palace with two-colored walls that were the outer walls around the white palace and the main walls of the palace were black. A palace with many balconies and gardens and many trees that the flowers of the gardens caressed the eyes and those people passed through the gate of the palace in astonishment and saw more of the beauty of the city from inside the wall. People who were selling their wares, people with beautiful faces and hair of different colors and this colorful caressing the eyes, The sun rising from the wall of the palace, doubling the beauty of the palace, Some people in ordinary clothes and some in gold and jeweled clothes, shoe or boots and cloth and woolen shoes, People selling their wares including; Fabrics, fruits, grains, herbal medicines, pottery, metal utensils used for craft or cooking, or any utensils that human needed to live. A dynamic community with people often smiling and holding hands with their spouse or child on a walk made up of different shops on either side. The Eternal Guard and their companions slowly made their way across the bazaar to reach the palace, and the further they went, added to the astonishment of the five people who did not belong to the time, Now they saw the decorative items that were displayed in most of the shops and looked at them with special enthusiasm, Necklaces, bracelets, jewelry and various cosmetics that because of their elegance and beauty seem to belong to the distant future, as they walked in the bazaar, it added to the beauty and bustle of the castle, and little by little the sound of music played with instruments and harps could be heard, and it was as if a celebration had taken castle in the bazaar and after a while, with the end of the bazaar and reaching a square that people from all over and in different ways were dragged there by listening to music, and in the middle of the square, there was a group that used different animals such as; Lions, eagles, elephants, acrobatic moves, fireworks, and dances were performed for the people, in the corner was a beautiful woman with a strange make-up that looked like an owl human, with various cards and feathers and birds in front of her, and by adding a special dance to it, she was divining and on the other side, two men were testing the force and the winner was looking for an opponent among the people and some of the guards wanted to accept his invitation, but the commander would not let them. A little further on, two men were demonstrating their shooting skills by placing an apple on their head and shooting at it, or passing an arrow through very small rings, some of which were the size of a fingernail and they were at a distance, forcing people to cheer.

On the other side of the square, which led to another road and another bazaar, were the work of blacksmiths, doctors, carpenters, and other occupations and from inside them various odors, pleasant and bad, and from inside another fire and from inside another dust and each of the masters who worked in those workshops had one or more students by their side who would take their castle in the future, and this industry and skill would be passed on to future generations.

Seeing the guards, the people withdrew and allowed them to pass, the young people looked at the guards with regret, because they longed to join the Eternals. Gradually, the market was completed and replaced by small houses with small stones and a gray mortar that glued the stones together and the farther they went to the castle, the taller the buildings became, and the smaller these stone houses became, and instead the larger, multi-story stone buildings in different colors of black-gray earth appeared. There was an inscription on the head of each house and on each inscription there was an inscription that contained a poem or a saying of the elders. Everyone was thrilled to see these scenes, except for Azin, who, as often, was silent and without any emotion, just looking at the road ahead, and these behaviors occupied Taylor's mind and did not allow Taylor to leave with an open mind. Enjoy the sights he sees. Taylor asked him again with a smile to communicate with Azin: why do you have no feeling about these strange and interesting things that we see and behave as if you see such things every day? Azin replied with a bitter smile on his face: Excitement for things that are ruined like getting a wedding for the dead!

After walking a long way and joining the small roads and sidewalks together and turning it into a big street, by continuing that street and going up a steep top, they reached the front of a big gate, apparently the entrance gate of the castle, two large statues of a giant bird named Bearded vulture that had spread its wings and were located on both sides of the gate, after Iraj talked to the guards in front of the gate and showed his special badge, they got permission to enter and passed through the gate and entered the castle, and then they came across the grandeur of the castle, a large and soaring castle whose sight hurts the neck of a man and next to the main castle there were large and ancillary buildings that were the kitchen and sanatorium of the guards and servants and the warehouse and several other places and they were all around the main castle, and each building had its own color different from the color of the palace, But nature did not allow the structures of human hands to appear alone and there were many small gardens in the castle and on every balcony of the king's castle, there were gardens and trees and flowers, the servants walked in the castle in their colorful, pleated robes, each holding his own tool, one was sweeping and digging to clean the castle, another was carrying food and fruit for the people of the castle and another was standing behind the door, ready to carry out his master's orders, The guards were guarding the corner of the castle with armor and swords, In the gardens, singing birds such as canaries and nightingales sang and in the castle grounds, there were tigers with the guards, who were also apparently guarding the castle and on the other side, there was a large garden with many trees and grass, so big that the other side was not visible and there were all kinds of trees, Fruit trees with colorful fruits, pomegranates, grapes, berries, apples and dozens of other fruits that make it possible to use garden fruits in any season, They walked on the pavement of the castle sidewalks, which was different from the white paving of the bazaar, and looked at the walls of the castle decorated with carvings and stones, and on the wall the carvings of mythical and large creatures carved, creatures that none of the five people had ever seen before.

Just as they were amazed at the beauty of the castle and looked around with their mouths open and their tongues were so impressed, They reached the back of the big castle with black walls decorated with various patterns and Iraj turned to them and said: wait in the castle grounds for me to go and raise the issue with the court.

Iraj entered the palace and left the five people there and asked Ghobad and Iran Dokht and Ardeshir to stay with them and he released the other of the guards to return to their battalion and rest and wait for their reward from the king, and the battalion with their regular ranks and shouting long live the Persian, left there. They looked at the people who were passing by in their adorned clothes, and Taylor, in their Rajab curiosity, asked Iran Dokht, and Iran Dokht replied: They are ministers and will probably return from a meeting with the king.

They asked about the servants and the height of the castle and the tigers, and Ghobad and Iran Dokht answered that the tigers guarded the castle with the guards, and that the castle had sixteen floors, with the king, queen and princess living on the top floor. Ghobad: This high black castle is the place where the king and his family live, as well as the king, where he holds meetings with the ministers and officials of the country and makes important decisions in his famous room, which is called the room of the mind.

Iraj returns and tells them: The king wants to see you and come with me. Ghobad, Iran Dokht and Ardeshir are standing there and the five people entered the palace with Iraj and through the door, they enter a path that uses sunlight coming in from the windows and reflecting light in strange luminous mirrors and on its walls were engraved engravings, some human and some animal and some strange creatures and monsters. They go up the stairs, where they are decorated with colorful curtains and engravings on the wall and jewelry, and after a while, the stairs lead to a large hall. Which has golden columns and the heads of columns with the statue of Bearded vulture, a two-headed bird and various jewels hung and decorated on the wall, Long, pleated curtains and high ceilings with beams on which singing birds sit and a few guards, and in the corner of the castle, a few jars and vases with patterns can be seen and in the hall there are three chairs, with a simple appearance whose simplicity is not as beautiful and polished as the castle and on one of them, a man with a crown and on the other two chairs sit two women, one a queen and the other a young princess and a symbol of the beauty of the palace, and next to the king a handsome man in simple clothes with a headband around his head and a rough and beautiful face standing.

Iraj goes forward and then respects and kneels before the King and says: My King. These are the same people who were brought to our land by the evil wizard from another world and saved by the Eternal Guard, and they are in front of you at your own command.

Each of the five people, in their strange way seen in historical series, pay homage to the king, which makes the king and those around him smile, except for Azin, who is flat with his hands in his pockets and does not respect him and this makes the people there consider him an enemy because of his disrespect. The king got up from his chair and took a few steps towards them and said with a friendly smile: You are our guest and as long as you are in this land, it is our duty to provide you with comfort, I am Esfandiar, the son of Gostasb and the grandson of Lohrasb, and this is my wife Gicia, and this is my daughter Mehrnoosh, to whom my soul is tied, and this brave young man who stands by us is Bastoor, our hero and commander-in-chief who will marry princess in the future and become my son-in-law and the king of this land, I know your name and I do not want to keep most of you who are tired of this trip here, so if you do not want my wife and daughter to guide you to your dormitory.

"Nelson says without hesitation: I'm sorry, sir, but…. You can take us back to our world ....Your world is really beautiful, interesting and dreamy and everyone wishes to be in such a place, but we do not belong here and a little later, Taylor asks for the same, and apparently the other three who are silent want the same. The king answers them: I have talked to counselors about this and we are looking for a sure way to bring you back to your world in perfect health and I will let you know tomorrow morning. It is better that you rest a little now. The queen and the princess got up and went to them with a happy face and the queen said: Follow me to take you to your dormitory.

The queen took them to the rooms they had already prepared, Relatively large rooms on the middle floors of the castle, located in a corridor and next to each other, with simple decoration, a bed, a mirror, a candle and a jar with a cup to quench thirst, The princess went to their room with some servants who had clothes in their hands and sent them to the hot baths of the castle, which she had already prepared, by giving them clothes and washing utensils.

The king gathers Bastoor and his advisers in the meeting room to discuss with them his guests from another world and one of the consultants, who is older and more experienced than the others, says: The ancients have warned about this event that if someone came to our world from an unknown world, we should return it to our world, because they are sinister and cause misery for the king and the land of Persia.

Another consultant, who is young and looking for a name and knowledge, says: These are just stories from the past and no one knows what the purpose of the past was to tell these stories. It is better to keep these people here and learn the science of their land in order to progress, but the king agrees with his old adviser of the year and says: We have always respected and rewarded the past and their words, and we should do the same now, but how should we send them to their own world?

The old counselor, with his long white beard and hair and the cane he placed next to the large table in front of them, says again: The only creature that has this power is Simurgh, who lives in Alborz Mountain, we have to take those people there, although this is a dangerous journey, but we have no choice.

Bastoor, who has been silent so far, says in a low and at the same time pleasant voice: These people come from another world and it is clear from their situation that they have never participated in a battle and are not ready to participate in it and they will probably perish in this difficult way, I think they should be prepared a little for this journey first.

The king, who had heard the words of his advisers, said with a little thought and consideration of all those words: A few days later, when they are completely relieved of their tiredness, send them to the Eternal Guard Battalion to learn the methods of battle as well as their physical readiness to face the dangers of this journey and after completing their training, send them to Alborz with a select group of guards to follow their destiny. Five people are sitting in a separate room after eating the elaborate food brought to them by the servants. "Nelson was walking restlessly across the room," he said: I still cannot understand whether we are in another world or why a king should respect us so much, it is kind of like a strange and boring dream.

Taylor: The king said he would help us, we'd better wait and see what he would do for us. Nakamo, with a worried face, sat in a corner and gathered her arms around her and said: The king and those around him are very suspicious, maybe they do not intend to help us and have bad thoughts in their heads.

Taylor: If they wanted to hurt us, they would have done it by now, because they had the opportunity to do so. Nelson to Azin that was sitting indifferently in a corner, looking at his wallet, which contained only a few worthless coins and photos. What do you think? We called you to come here and comment on this issue, so why did you remain silent? Azin said with a confused and numb face: I do not care where I am and why…

Azin got up and went to his room to sleep, followed by Gabriel. Nelson was nervous about it," said: What is the problem of those idiots…. I better go and sleep, apparently we have a strange day ahead of us tomorrow.

Nelson left, and now Nakamo was left alone to leave Taylor's room, but she paused and said nothing, and after a moment with me said, "I can sleep here and in front of you." Taylor, Saw: Yes, of course.

The night passed with all the struggles in their minds and was replaced by a beautiful morning with the song of birds and the smell of garden flowers and the cool morning breeze. A servant came and took the five people to see the king eating breakfast in the large garden.

Seeing his guests, the king got up from his chair and again kindly invited them to have breakfast with him and after looking at the wide table in front of the king with all those cups of various drinks and snacks on the table and sitting next to the king and his family and after a little compliment, they start eating. After a while, the king remembered something and after chewing and swallowing the bite that was in his mouth, he said: We have found a way for you to come back, but this is a very dangerous way and you certainly cannot bear the hardships of the way, so we decided to give each of you to one of the great warriors of the Eternal Guard to teach you how to fight and increase your endurance, because you need it for the path you are going to take to your world, You rest today and meet your master tomorrow and join him to learn. It is better to relax today and go sightseeing and explore the city and get to know our people better and visit the beautiful places of the city.

The five people, looking at each other and without having the right to choose, still accept the king's words without any objection. As they were eating breakfast, Mehrnoosh, who was eating breakfast calmly and sweetly, as it should be in a princess, turned to Taylor and said: why don't you tell us about your land, your people, your tools and your progress?

The king interrupts him and says to him seriously: We should not know anything about their world, because it may change our destiny, From now on, I, the King of this land, forbid asking any questions from my foreign guests about their land and their world.

This action of the king surprises them that a king does not want to know anything about another world and the wealth and people there, and even Rajab forbids it. They roamed the city and sold their goods cheaper according to the customs of the people who did not know the meaning of the lie, so as not to cause underselling, and if someone got into trouble, everyone would gather to untie the knot of his problem, the people who They respected their guests too much and considered the rights of others before themselves, they got acquainted. Features that they thought were great, but they really are. One day quickly blinked and it was time to introduce them to their masters, The weather was partly cloudy and the sun sometimes shone on the castle and sometimes hid behind the clouds. Ghobad followed the five people to the castle and took them out of the castle to a relatively small barrack the size of a football stadium. A sign was engraved on the gate of the barracks, a sign with the image of two lions holding swords on either side of another lion with a crown and sitting on a throne, apparently guarding the lion.

After showing Ghobad the special sign of permission to enter, they passed through the door and faced a large battlefield the size of a volleyball court, in which several people were fighting, one with a sword, one with a mace, one with a bow, one with a dagger, one with a spear, and in the other corner a man in a room full of snakes, scorpions, and poisonous animals, and the other rooms, each belonging to something. A room for torture that acquainted the guards with pain, a room for thinking that was completely white and did not even have a colored dot to distract them, and the naked soldiers went there and thought to themselves. Several rooms to strengthen the muscles of the body with strange devices that were apparently used for bodybuilding and a room with a closed door with several small and large locks on it and a person in front of it for a guard who was apparently a dangerous thing in that room, and therefore use such a completely solid steel door with a few strange locks to keep it closed have been. They went ahead and passed half-naked men and women who were training and paid no attention to them and were just practicing. The guards were very skilled, strong, fast, accurate and punctual in the fight and that is why these people were accepted in the best forces of the country. After passing all this, they went into the Imperial Guard building, which had only three rooms, and after passing through a narrow corridor, they reached the back door, which was apparently the commander's room, and Ghobad entered the room and returned a minute later. And he said to them: go inside, the commander wants to see you.

They entered the room with a little stress for which they did not know the reason, a room that, contrary to their imagination, was very simple and only had the king's emblem on the wall, a metal hawk statue, the emblem of the Eternal Guard and the chair on which a person sat. A man with buckwheat hair and an attractive face who did not seem to enjoy life and looked out of the window at the children who were playing and said: If they know what awaits them in adulthood, they will never wish of growing up, maybe we were the same, if we knew what awaits us in this world, we would never wish to be born, This is the only problem of the one God who did not show us the world right before birth or did not give us the right to choose about being born, just like a handful!
