Echoes of Battle and the Weight of Leadership"

(The Royal Council in the Red Palace, Prince Badis bin Habous sitting on the throne, and to his right Abdullah, and around them sitting the ministers: Al-Arabi Al-Naie, Abu Al-Rabi', Omar the army commander, Ali bin Murad, Adel, and Abdul Rahman.)

Abu Al-Rabi: (Starts talking seriously) Our external situation looks good after the advantages with Belisa, but we must think of other alliances. Alfonso VI asks him not to order what he ignores. I helped build a strong army, but his goal is still unclear. We expect most of the time that he will head towards either Almeria or Belisa.

Minister Al-Arabi Al-Nayea: (Confirms) In addition, you must be fully committed to the contract, especially since Abdullah and Sarah's wedding will be after the parties, and this requires a lot of preparation.

Prince Badis bin Habous: (Thoughtfully) It is true that the wedding is important, but it has not reached the top of the priorities now, and it must come to increasing failure.

Omar, Commander of the Army: (interrupting) We have new information about the Viking ships. They were advancing towards our coasts, but thanks to our capabilities, they did not decrease as they wanted. But the strange thing is that they did not retreat, but rather they are falling back towards the unknown. We do not have much information about their locations, and this is what worries us.

Prince Badis: (enjoying the attention) Abdullah, what do you think of this situation? What should we do?

Abdullah: (firmly and insistently) We have to move quickly, and work to repel them before they reach the neighboring area, and we have to prepare to confront any danger facing our people.

(The ministers exchange looks of surprise, but no one enjoys Abdullah's glass.) 

Amir Badis: (confidently) Then I will send you 500 people to lead this mission.

Abdullah: (surprised but relieved) As you or my master orders, he will go to prepare for the repair.

Omar: (Exchanging glances with the ministers and then mostly) Your Highness, Abdullah is going to war with the risk of losing him, he is the crown prince, and losing him would be a blow to all of us.

(The signs of the treasury were fully visible, and they were not clear about their cup.)

Abdullah: (Looking at Omar steadily) But this is my duty. If you want to be a leader in the future, you must expect cars to stop in my face.

Prince Badis Leadership: (Smiling proudly) You are right Abdullah, you need courage, and this unites our faith in you and your abilities.

Minister Al-Naeq: (Adding seriously) If things so decide, you must be prepared to ask us to support Abdullah with everything we have.

Minister Ali bin Murad: (Agreed) We must have a good plan, and we must ensure Abdullah's protection in this mission.

Abdullah: (reassuring them) I will make sure we have everything we need. I want to be close to my people and protect them.

Prince Badis: (speaking firmly) The organizer may continue, Abdullah, go and get ready immediately.

(Abdullah looks towards the prince and kisses his hand respectfully.)

Abdullah: At your service, sir, I will be back as soon as possible.

(Abdullah leaves the council and closes the door behind him.)

Prince Badis: (He addresses the ministers after Abdullah's meeting) Now we must focus on our defense expenditure, so let us prepare our forces for a long time in the evening, and make sure that everyone is ready for any emergency.

Abu Al-Rabi': (Agreeing) I will have the troops and the warehouses ready with the necessary equipment. They should be temporarily ready in an unexpected and unexpected way.

Minister Al-Nayea: (seriously) We must stay in touch with our allies in Bliss. Alfonso's moves could be against us all.

(The meeting ends about half an hour after Abdullah ends, and the second member discusses the groups needed for the upcoming evacuation.)

 In the council

(After the ministers have finished, Prince Badis bin Habous and Minister Al-Arabi Al-Naima remain in the council. The minister's face looks worried.)

Minister Al-Nayea: (hesitantly) Sir, is it wise for Abdullah to return to war? There are many, many, and real differences are lurking around him.

Prince Badis: (in a firm voice) And are you ignoring my decision, Minister? Are you choosing it without thinking?

Arab Minister Nayeh: (Egypt) No, sir, but I am doing you and your kingdom good. That is my role. I fully approve of sending Abdullah to the battlefield, and I fear that we will not pay a high price for it.

Prince Badis: (smiling gently) That's why I love you, and I can see the imprint of your tactics. But Abdullah needs this experience. To take the results himself. If he takes the wrong path, he will pay a price for it, and that is the truth, the cost of life.

Arab Minister Al-Nayea: (confused) But sir, war does not differentiate between the Crown Prince and his soldiers. Danger surrounds him, and we know what can happen on the battlefield. If something bad happens to him, the Kingdom's air strike...

Prince Badis: (in a firm voice) War is not important compared to the lives of our people. Abdullah must learn how to lead, how to take responsibility. Every great leader started somewhere.

Arab Minister Al-Nayea: (lowers his voice) I disagree, but there is a difference between learning and facing death. Don't you have private property, sir?

Prince Badis: (Thoughtfully) Yes, I have fuel. But I believe this is his chance. The company has announced and is leading the men. If you are not ready to prepare now, should he be ready quickly?

Minister Al-Nayea: (Hesitantly) But sir, if something happens to him, how will you confront your people?

Prince Badis: (confidently) I told Omar to send a specific person, Abdullah. Also, there is Marwan bin Suleiman, an experienced military leader. The family has always been subordinate to us, and they are capable of dealing with us.

Minister Al-Arabi Al-Nayeh: (Apologizing) I apologize for my involvement in my master's case. I realize that you have far-sighted visions, but this is the covenant and shall remain.

Prince Badis: (With a smile) He does not apologize. Consultation among Muslims is the basis of governance. And when Abdullah becomes my authority, it is necessary that I clean it up forever. You must start how to work with authority, and how not to flirt with the world and not become like you were in my youth. 

Minister Al-Nayea: (worried) Think about it, but do you feel that, sir, are you sick? Do you think you are in a good condition to bear all this pressure?

The prince rises from the throne and stands before the Arab Nayi (smiling sadly) and says yes, they have tired me out. I know the need to be needed, but I must be now. 

Minister Al-Nayea: (looking sad) He feels like the big one, sir. Please take care of yourself. You are our responsibility, and a kingdom needs you.

Prince Badis: (tenderly) I will, Minister. But you must all be ready. Abdullah needs your support, just as our people need strong leadership.

And he goes out ((He says, "Each of them will perish, but the Face of your Lord, Owner of Majesty and Honor, will remain.")) 

(Says Prince Badis bin Habous, while the Arab minister Al-Nayeh remains standing, expressing sadness and anxiety, thinking about the fate of the kingdom and the future determining it.)

In Team Abdullah

(Abdullah calls the soldier in the middle, while Marwan bin Marwan heads towards him. Sulayman, from a well-known family that had been subordinate to Abdullah for a long time, is distinguished by his average build and facial features that bear some signs of arrogance.)

Marwan: (proudly) Sir, everything is done. We will reach Rice Forest in three days, God willing.

Abdullah: (seriously) Good, but we have to read each parliament. There is no room for error.

(Marwan bears the story of his disagreements with the army commander, Omar. Marwan saw himself as the most deserving of the position of deputy commander, while Omar appointed someone else, which led to another great quarrel. Suleiman believes that Omar translated from him, because of his strong roots as a well-known family, while Omar, who (was a former slave, was able to free himself and advance in the ranks until he became the army commander.)

Marwan: (defiantly) I promise you, we will be in the best condition.

Abdullah: (Confidently) That's what's needed. We must work as a team, leaving any differences aside for the sake of important matters.

(Marwan looks at Abdullah, and refocuses.)

Marwan: (with a forced apology) Of course, I will put my teams aside. What is most important is that we succeed in the mission.

Abdullah: (in reserve voice) Remember, we are here to protect our families and our land. We will not let any enemy stop us!

(The crowds start towards their destination, while there is still a list, which requires making a decision about the mission.)

In the Viking camp

Under the shade of the dense cedar trees, Casper, the Viking leader, stood in the middle of his camp, looking at his eager soldiers. He smiled confidently as he imagined the victory that would soon come.

Casper: (loudly) Finally, they're here. We waited in the woods, and that's it, our plan is complete.

A Viking, looking anxious, took hesitant steps forward.

One of the Vikings: (hesitantly) Why don't we flee to the sea? Wouldn't it be better to avoid this battle? We are risking ourselves to kill the Crown Prince of Granada, Abdullah. This seems doubtful. How did we know in the first place that it was Abdullah who was going to confront us?

Casper: (with growing confidence) Because it's a win-win for us. He's just a kid who doesn't know war. His first war against us, and I'll kill him with ease.

The Vikings exchanged glances, feelings of anxiety beginning to creep in. But Casper, who thought he was invincible, continued.

One of the Vikings: But sir, if he has trained soldiers, the task may not be as easy as you expect.

Casper: (arrogantly) Let them have their imagination. We are the Vikings. We know how to win. There is nothing to worry about. All we need to do is be ready to attack.

As the battle approached, the soldiers began to prepare their weapons, but Casper remained confident of his victory, imagining the gold he would obtain.

 In the forest

(After four days of walking, Abdullah and 500 women reach the borders of the Rais Forest. He advances towards Commander Marwan bin Suleiman, who communicates with the soldiers.)

Abdullah: (in a firm voice) We are here now, we must enter the forest. You can't take it anymore.

Marwan bin Marwan: (hesitantly) Sir, entering the forest might be a trap. The Vikings might be waiting for us there. We should think of a better plan.

Abdullah: (staring at him) Do you have another solution, Marwan? We don't want to let them attack villages without doing anything.

Marwan: (Continuing) Our government structure is divided into two groups. One watches the forest from afar, and the other continues to advance cautiously. So, it is ready for any opportunity.

Abdullah: (thinking) That sounds reasonable. Need to secure the new location. If they find out we're here, the situation could become more dangerous.

Marwan: (Nodding) I disagree. We should send a reconnaissance team to make sure there are no Vikings in the surrounding areas. If it's safe, enter with caution.

Abdullah: (smiling) Good. Start organizing. Pointing out that she caused two hours in two hours.

Marwan: (enters the line) Let's organize now, and get all the students ready. If there is a danger, you must be ready to read to face it.

Abdullah: (Agrees) Me. Start. And we'll be in the habit.

(The teams begin teaching lessons.

Abdullah: (raising his voice) Remember, we are here for our people. We will not allow any enemy to threaten them.

(Move teams later, multiple to modify the forest.)

In the forest

(Under the cover of distant rice birds, the shadows of the forest dominate the ground. The smell of dampness emanates from the soil, while voices echo in the space. Abdullah contacts his soldiers, determined to confront the Vikings.)

After a few years, the simple and unassuming voices, brought to light a number of Vikings, and the woman decided to acquire them. At the meeting, their leader, Casper, with his imposing figure, squeezed a huge fox. Abdullah rushes to the user, and pulls his sword from its sheath.

Abdullah: (screaming bravely) To fight! We will not let them advance! Remember, we are here to protect our homeland!

(The voices overlap with the soldiers' screams, and war breaks out. Swords clash, and sparks fly between the fighters.)

The conflict escalates, as soldiers clash savagely. Abdullah advances towards Casper, reaches around him cautiously, then finishes him off with his sword. The battle rages with screams of pain and rage.

Casper: (laughs sarcastically) You think you're stopping, Arab? I'll make you pay for your extras!

Abdullah: (defiantly) I will not be afraid of you, you are efficient in my land now!

(Blood streams to the ground, and cries of revenge rage. In the chaos, Abdullah's one of his soldiers, Hassan, is attacked from behind, so he quickly pushes for his life.)

Abdullah: (crying) Hassan! Watch your back!

(Abdullah hits the Viking who was attacking Hassan and saves him at the last moment.)

Tactical and camouflage

However, Abdullah Aniking went outnumbered. He made a quick decision.

Abdullah: (in a low voice, soldier to soldier) Withdraw ninja, let them fully in control! No regrets hope, we control the horizon.

(The troops begin to withdraw, causing the Vikings to advance bravely, believing they have won.)

Casper: (shouting proudly) Look at them! They're backing away, we just need to push them a little!

When the Vikings approach, the soldiers stop retreating. Abdullah orders a counterattack.

Abdullah: (firmly) Now, approach them! Prepare for battle!

(The troops rush out from the trees, surrounding the Vikings. The soldiers shout excitedly, skillfully using their weapons.)

Abdullah: (screaming) For our country! For our families!

The battle rages on again. Abdullah fights Casper, they exchange blows continuously, as the intensity of the conflict escalates.

Casper: (expressing his displeasure) Don't think you'll win! This battle is mine!

Abdullah: (defiantly) This is our land! We will not let you control it!

(A crucial moment comes when Abdullah finds an opportunity to paralyze Casper, and pounces on him with a powerful blow. But Casper quickly responds, striking with his weapon.)

Casper: (angrily) I'll show you what it means to face a Viking!

(Casper hits Abdullah on the arm, causing him a small wound, but Abdullah doesn't back down. He gathers his strength.)

Abdullah: (in a loud voice) Your plans will not succeed here!

(Abdullah approaches Casper, and pounces on him with a sudden move, striking him with a fatal blow.)

As the sun sets, the sounds of battle fade, and a calm settles in. Abdullah and his soldiers gather together, proud of their victory, despite Abdullah's wound.

Marwan: (Turning to Abdullah) We did it, sir! This day will go down in history!

Abdullah: (With a smile despite the pain) But the battle is only the beginning, and we have to prepare for what comes after that.

In Abdullah's camp after the battle

(Abdullah and Suleiman sit together, reviewing the results of the battle. The atmosphere is tense, but there is also a sense of accomplishment.)

Abdullah: (Thinking deeply) We won, but we have to talk about the losses. How many martyrs and wounded?

Marwan : (seriously) Unfortunately, about 50 soldiers were martyred. There are 10 serious injuries, while the rest have minor wounds.

Abdullah: (Takes a deep breath) We have to make sure that the injured receive the necessary care. We don't want to leave them alone in these difficult times.

Marwan : (in a firm voice) I will keep an eye on the injured and make sure they get the proper treatment.

Abdullah: (Smiling appreciatively) Thank you, Marwan. Your support and care for our soldiers is what makes us stronger.

Marwan : (affirmatively) Okay, I'll do it right away.

(Marwan stands up and begins to arrange matters to ensure that the wounded are cared for, while Abdullah remains in his place, thinking about the cost of victory and the responsibility it requires towards his soldiers.)

In Abdullah's tent

Abdullah was sitting on his bed in his tent, reviewing the results of the battle with his soldiers. He had some wounds on his arm, and the pain was weighing him down. He looked at one of the soldiers waiting outside.

Abdullah: (in a serious voice) Call a doctor to check my arm wound, I need help.

The soldier went out to carry out the orders, while Abdullah began to remove his armor carefully, trying to avoid the pain. His thoughts were occupied with the affairs of the battle and its results, until the doctor came to his tent.

When she entered, Abdullah didn't see her at first. He was busy trying to remove the shield. Suddenly, he heard her voice.

Jawhara: (Calmly and confidently) Good morning, sir. I'm Jawhara, your doctor today.

Abdullah turned around in surprise, determined to meet her.

Abdullah: (surprised) Where is the doctor? Why are you here?

Jawhara: (With a slight smile) The doctor is busy treating other wounded people, so I came to help you. A lot of trust has been placed on my shoulders, and I hope I can live up to expectations.

Abdullah: (Apologizing) I apologize if I doubted your abilities. I did not expect to see a woman in this role. I was shocked to see you here.

Jawhara: (seriously) No need to apologize, sir. Many people look at women in medicine differently. But I'm here to prove that talent knows no bounds.

Abdullah extended his hand, and Jawhara felt the wound, then looked at him with disapproval.

Jawhara: (surprised) Who the idiot did this? He could have destroyed your nerves! You should be more careful, your life is not just a war.

Abdullah: (embarrassed) I was busy paying attention to the battle and its results. Sometimes, things dominate my thoughts to the point that I forget myself.

Jawhara: (gently scolding) I understand, but we cannot sacrifice ourselves in the name of battle. The soldiers are counting on you, and you must lead by example. Remember, leadership also means self-preservation.

Abdullah smiled, shy of her wise remarks.

Abdullah: (seriously) I'll take your advice into consideration, Jawhara. I didn't think of it that way.

Jawhara began to clean the wound carefully, her hand steady. Abdullah was watching her with admiration.

Jawhara: (While working) Do you think you are the only one who bears the burden? Every soldier here has his own story, his own suffering. We must be like one family, supporting each other.

Abdullah: (Deeply) You're right. When we talk about sacrifice, we have to be aware that every individual has value. Sometimes the concerns of leadership steal my vision away.

Jawhara finished the work, then looked directly at Abdullah.

Jawhara: (Seriously) I hope you realize the importance of listening to others, especially those who depend on you. Greatness comes from the ability to appreciate everyone, not just the combative ones.

After the treatment was over, the essence stood up.

Abdullah: (gratefully) Thank you, Jawhara. Your presence here makes me feel like someone cares.

Jawhara: (With a smile) This is my duty, sir. I am here for you and for your soldiers.

Jawhara left the tent, and Abdullah called the soldier again.

Abdullah: (Inquiring) Do you know who she is?

Soldier: (Proudly) Yes, she is Jawhara, a descendant of Fatima bint Muhammad al-Fihri. She continued in the footsteps of her grandmother Fatima, and studied medicine at the university founded by her grandmother, but she decided to travel the world. That is why she is in Granada.

Abdullah: (gratefully) Thank you for the information.
