...I have seen the dust approaching on the horizon first, then a Mongolian warrior riding his horse towards us, with the sun behind... He jumped down from the horse as he entered the castle. I have pointed a few men, to give him water, and take his horse to the stables, they obeyed without hesitation.
He bowed his head, not very kind, though, I was not surprised, sand, living in the desert most of the time... even their women are tough, and they look like they'll cut you into two with their eyes... I nodded, and waited for him to speak, it was urgent, I could feel it...
He started to talk, the words were not very familiar, but I could understand, there would be war again, what we were used to. I have told him to tell their Khan, we'd be ready for the war, to fight side by side with our allies, and then i turned to my noble warriors, commanders... They sure knew what they had to do, but I still gave a few orders...
We started to ride at night, hundreds, thousands of men, best of my army, the pride of the empire... we have ridden for hours, and did not stop till we entered the Mongolian lands... My men were already tired from the journey, so I ordered them to get some rest, till the dawn, I went to the tent which was set for me, thinking, about strategies, movements... and I fell a sleep...
One of my close commanders woke me up at dawn, I stood up and looked around, then washed my face with some water. Servants brought me the breakfast, but I did not feel like eating before fighting as always, so I refused to eat. But I let them help me with wearing my armor and outfits, then I stepped outside... Mongolian army was ready, as well as mine, I looked at the Mongolian Khan, Elliz, we both smiled at each other... because we both knew, we'll win that war...
An hour later, both armies were on the way, marching towards the enemy, we knew, they wre coming towards us too... it was nearly at noon, when both sides started to attack each other, like thunders... Sounds of the swords clanging, meat being but, blood gushing everywhere... and at the end of the day, remaints of the enemy, were running away, and our alliance, shining brighter than the sun, at sunset... Another battle... another victory...
Ottoman Veliaht Prince, Bogac Aeghin
