ARRIVING IN THE HOLY CITY

Holy is He Who carried His servant by night from the Holy Mosque (in Makkah) to the farther Mosque (in Jerusalem) whose surroundings We have blessed that We might show him some of Our Signs. Indeed He alone is All-Hearing, All-Seeing.

-QURAN Surah Al-Isra 17:1

Friday, 24 October 1192 AD - Jerusalem

Abu Bin Zayyid looked at the beautiful Jerusalem city walls shining in the mid-afternoon heat some distance away from them. Some of the gates were seen open, and small dots representing people were coming and going out of them. 

His heart was having mixed emotions to be finally in this city after a journey that had a lot of mishaps. On one hand, he was happy and on the other hand, he was worried about what the future held in stock for him and the Red Scorpions who had followed him.
