We Parted Ways

Amed woke up in his tent, to find that his two maids had prepared his breakfast for him.

He took it, then put on the armour of war, then picked up a Rokoshta's sack and put it on his belt. One of his maidservants, helping him to tie his shields, said to him:

- It was a great night, sir Amed.

He petted her and her colleague, who asked him while helping to tie the shields:

Was Wahara as beautiful as we do in bed?

- She was better.

We were not saddened by his answer, as he still misses her since she disappeared with the alleged death of Princess Aynur, and links between her disappearance and Fossan's insistence that Ainur is alive but is a fugitive, so the former changed the subject:

Why didn't you take your companions from the late princess's men?

After that, we parted ways. Fossan is waiting for the princess in the castle of the ten wooded hills, which the wise Marzouk and the elders of the Aturian villages granted him the right to own, but his love for the princess prevented him from benefiting from the treasures of the earth. And Arch decided the struggle of his grief over his late dinosaur to return to his old deals in the five trading cities, and Kazan became the commander of the castle guards after losing many of his dwarves' army.

They finished and drank a glass of Juani's fine wine, which is part of the bestowal of the Washiens upon him after he joined them in their resistance against the Kandori invasion.

He came out of the tent and found the entire camp moving to the front rows on the battlefront, so he advanced them, and stood in the front row next to the bearer of the Washinian banner on his right, which is depicted in the form of a three-headed lion, and between the commander of the Washinite army on his left, who gave him an honorary command next to him.

Delgis and her men before him on the other side of that flat patch of grass, with an army outnumbered, but a loyal Kwashini, who drew the great sword of Rokoshta, and uttered at the men:

We die for two people.

They cried behind him in a terrible voice that shook the hearts of the Kandorians:

For Washin's sake.

And the horsemen of the pink army rushed towards them, so they sounded the trumpets of war, and set out to face their enemy.

4727 n. Twenty years after the Battle of the Ten Trees Hills

The barricades were dislodged and the heavy steel clattered, and the doors opened in succession, before three phantoms appeared on the left at the end of the stone wall, with a muscular torchbearer ahead of them, who, from his half-faced helmet, and his short purple robe, seemed to be one of the guards, and behind him was a dignified gentleman, He had a beard, the blackness of which was mixed with its white, giving it a grey, inhomogeneous colour, and behind him, he was notifying two other guards, with the same cape and brass helmet. When the respected prisoner's eyes fell on the venerable, he heard him say in his polite tone:

Good morning, dear wise man.

Good morning, wise one, what good wind brought you into my humble cell?

- Bat arrived. A letter to you with a new seal that I have not seen before.

Noveo looked at the seal of the Ten Trees Hills castle that Princess Aynur had created before the battle and said:

- Ah, it is the seal of the Aynurs, I forgot to tell you to add them among the castles of Orium, Princess Aynur took the castle of Prince Mrn Atur and changed the banner and the seals.

Then he said in a special tone:

- This is another benefit of my annual release from the prisons of Al-Khawan, O wise one. Do not forget to tell the emperor (Hauer, the arrogant) of this new benefit, so that he does not argue about my exit every year.

- In the Moorish era, and in the first years of my tenure of office 4707 n. It is the same year of Emperor Hauer's birth, you have already lost on your annual voyage half your garrison, esteemed sage, and you are so precious to the whole Khwan Empire.

- I will tell the guard if you want to respond to the letter. Thank you.

The sage left, and the barricades, the chains, and the iron doors were clattering and ringing, and Noveo read the letter by the light of his candle.

It was from the wise Marzouk on his deathbed, and he told him in it in the Orium language and after greetings and salutations that the secret of Princess Aynur, who was in his chest, had been buried for all this time, because she had advised him not to let him out to a mortal or jinn, and since he is not a van but from the immortals, it is permissible for him to Heavy load comes out.

The princess did not die on that bloody night during the Battle of the Ten Trees Hills but rather escaped through an old secret tunnel, which is used only once, and collapses after being used, leading to what is outside the ten hills surrounding the castle towards the north, meaning that the Princess lived and that the one they found She wears her dress, not her because she ran away with her maidservant with his knowledge.

I fled towards the walls of Lycia.

Noveo realised that time can hide a lot, and reveal a little, and he did not forget to write this down in his long history and adjust it according to the coppery calendar that he himself established hundreds of years ago.
