Zanzan, Adhan and Amenheraft

Alexander's letters of victory were received by his allies with a mix of elation and disbelief.

Back in Zanzan, which was the first to receive his news, Cambyses had let out an ear piercing scream of joy when the rider had first delivered it and then actually broke down crying.

She was that overwhelmed by it.

"Mistress! What's wrong? What happened?"

And her reaction was so extreme that Mean who was in the next room came dashing out, her face white as paper, fearing that the messenger had come to deliver the worst news- Alexander's death.

"Alex, …*hic*... Alex won! We won!" 

And it took considerable effort on Cambyses's part to calm herself down and relay the actual message to Mean, which then subsequently got an almost equal cheer from the girl.

Though Mean did not understand the exact significance of the capture as Thesalie as much as Cambyses did, the girl was always happy to hear her man had won.
