The Guest

The Gate Bridge descended only once, to receive the women fleeing the invasion of the Rosy Army, before it was raised, and the castle was isolated again in front of the catapults and battering rams of Behrouz.

When both Arch and Amed are late in informing Aynur of a developments, she leaves Wahara (Crow) with the Princess and she recommends it guard her, and goes out to investigate.

She heard the battles with the killers, and saw the nervous movements of the dwarves, and then collided with Kazan while he was leading dozens of women, so she asked him:

- "What is the matter?"

- "They are from the Aturian villages, they were afraid that the pink army would swerve and the soldiers would rape them, so they decided to take refuge in the castle for more protection."

Then he approached her and whispered gravely:

"What the hell made you stay away from her?"

- "Did you kill them?"

- "They are demons, and that heretic escaped from our hands after we brought him down, we don't know where he is now and what he is up to. We will need a miracle to prevent them from combing the rest of the points and finding the princess. Help me get these village women into the empty imperial garrison camp, and then hide at once. If one of the killers followed you, the whole plan would be spoiled."

She helped him direct and instruct the women. Then she noticed a young girl among them, and approached her:

- "What's your name, girl?"

- "Suhour."

"Do you want to receive an award from Princess Aynur?"

An idea she had started an hour ago was completed in her mind. She has found the perfect guest.

(Abbas) was a soldier with strong senses, a short lad, with childlike features that he really looked like a kid in shape and size, but he was always proud that he was over seventeen weeks ago, and he wore the little pink shield, which distinguishes the rosy army soldiers, and surrounded their chests over leather jerkins They wear sleeveless. He detested war, not because he hated heroism and duelling, but because he detested fighting Princess (Aynur) herself, and from childhood he was fascinated by the tales of the enchanted weapons of princesses, and their stories that captivated him.

Abbas was the first to hear the steps.

At first he wooed his battalion's fellows to listen, but they ignored him, and they go on to slaughter the remnants of the tribal warriors they've tortured them badly and kill hundreds of them, they shout in joy and gloating, and encourage the armored battalion to erect catapults and bombard the walls of the impregnable fortress.

As the steps rose, he began to determine their direction, so he climbed over a nearby rock, and looking far east, saw it.

Negress.

In horror, Abbas cried:

- "It is a giant of the black giants. It is a giant of Negroes. From the far east she is advancing towards you."

He was on the eastern side of the citadel, far from the gate in the south, but very close to the Imperial pavilion, which was the focus of the protection of the rear of the army and the first cavalry corps. Captain Munther came out after the boy's cheers, and ordered everyone to be silent. When they were silent, they heard footsteps stepping clearly. The soldiers looked with fear towards the east, and Abbas's heart was beating violently.

Little by little Negress's head rose, as she advanced towards them, it rose above the tops of the trees.

And captain Mundhir rushed to organise his cavalry corps, directing everyone's attention to the east, instead of directing their eyes to the walls in the west.

The next guest was completely unexpected.
