Lord Sten was informed of the occurring events in the large valley where the tribe circus traveler was temporarily pitching their tents. Not a hint of humor could be seen upon his facade when he got inside the dungeon of the Capulet. The house was in silent frantic upon the sudden visit of the King's royal right hand.
"It's an honor to have thee-,"
Lord Sten raised his hand to the head of the house, "Save the lulling sir. I do not even wish to have thee near me." He said in displeasure.
Hermes who was bowing raised his head to the Lord speaking to him.
"How dare you arrest our visitor."
"They are performing witchcraft, me lord." Hermes defended vehemently.
"Oh are they? I will not be very surprised if they cast a spell of curses to this house. Know ye not
"Whynot?Wearewearinggownslikeenglishwomendo."ShimasupportedMinah."Only that it's only the three of us here and no gentlemen around. Unless we include the palace servants, we are good to go." Chaerin added.As they all sat down to dine, the three of them just stared at the animated placement of the dinner ware in front of them, worried on how to handle those without shaming themselves."Oh goodness..." Shima exclaimed as she saw the sets of what look like to her as many forks, many spoons, layers of platters and lines of drinking glasses. She looked up and saw that Minah and Chaerin had the same predicament."All I wanted to do is to be glutton tonight and not use this blasted silvers." Minah r emarked in hushed tone, slightly leaning on the tables towards them."Yeah, we have fingers to reach the food and just-," Chaerin wasn't able
In the baron court, just when the sun had risen up its glory in the sky, the king, lords, vassals, knights, elite people and his counselors gathered to hear a forum about what they shall do with the Chief of the barbarians.“Weshallkillhim!”oneofthecounselorsraised.Manyagreedhispreposition.“Weshalllethimsuffer!Burnhimuntildeathattheplaza!”The king pondered deeply. He fully understood the anger his people hold on their hearts. However, there were anxieties within him that troubled his mind. What if the death of the Teuton stirs up more contentions? He knew barbarians are fierce when provoked. The decades of war were the proof of it. They will not stop until they satiate their understanding on justice. He must admit that he was getting tired of it. From the moment he was in the t
The tribe princess had made her own point in not raging war again and because of that, Chief Teuton was freed. It wasn't because of democratic way of dealing the elites but rather it was by force into agreeing to her.The large group of the tribe slowly emerged out the gate of the kingdom, trekking the very lands of their inheritance. War has ended. But it was as if the momentary truce between the elites and the tribe was placed into a thin layer of iced river water. One wrong move and the ungodly fight will explode again."Alothadhappenedtoday,isn'titdaughter?""Yea shetai. A lot indeed." Alminah said in much meaning behind, looking ahead the horizon of the sun setting down the horizon."I'mtirednow.Goodthatthouhastendedthewarinsuchunexpectedfashion.""Areyouproudofmenow, 
Dari hastily strode towards the large tent situated at the heart of the valley. A scroll with the royal crest on it was on his right hand. When he was admitted inside by the warriors guarding the entrance, he saw the tribe king in conversation with another tribe chief from the west.KingTeutonraisedhisheadwhenhebeheldDariwhobowedbeforehim."An epistle from the royal family, chief Teuton." Dari said respectfully. When Teuton nodded to him, he went to hand him the scroll and waited for his order.Teuton untied the scroll from the gold-plated thread. He immediately read the heading of the epistle which made his forehead creased slightly.The chief trie from the west gave Teuton a studying gaze before he asked. "What contains it, Teuton?"It took awhile before Teuton could answer Ashir of his inquiry as he made sure to finish reading the scroll b
Alminah was silenced as she arrived at the great river. She had removed her cloaked and let it dropped onto the grassy ground. She listened to the wild thrashing of the river falls and the violent rapids. She was atop and beholding the frightening deep waters below. Her horse made a sound of protest when she crouched down as if readying herself to launched forward. Her eyes glistened blue, her normal eyes, when she smiled to the horse, calming the beast before she jumped into a perfect dive. Almost immediately, she was swallowed by the river and never came out the surface for a while. The horse, if it was even possible to have its leash untied, would like to go and save the tribe princess.The noise of the horse whinnying so loudly draw the attentions of the royal carriage as well as the royal guards passing by the rivers."A horse?" Princess Sue commented to no one in particular. Both prince Woon and Prince Jion were outside t
Epilogue The whole tribe, now dwell in the valley Zagreb, waited for one person to arrive in the field. It has been two weeks since the young prince departed, leaving his wife in the care of her own tribe. The large blue moon lighted the dark fields but it made the heart of the princess melancholic. It has been many nights, she was alone in bed without the heat from her husband's body. The teuton tribe people rounded on the large bonfire after the merry making. Alminah bit her lower lip while tracing with her hands the gem she acquired on the wild river. Jion trekked into the mountains, alone. To retrieve the heart of the active volcano. She knew that his quest would require him his life, she told the prince of
Dark Age was a period where chaos erupted among the people in England. There had been wars and rumors of wars spread around cities upon cities. It started when the early church, nobles and royalties were engaged in maintaining their powers, controlling people and clashed their interests on the matter. They had corrupted many lands even stealing those from native tribes. This stirred up lots of those barbarians to craft those dangerous arms and rage war to the nobles who took away their rightly possessions. Thus start the war.“Over the land where the voices of my people cry out for justice and peace, the battlefield which has been bathed with so much bloodsheds for many generations past and the unending clanging of the metals and piercing of the arrows which killed people. I, if I was only able to cease this ungodly, ungainly and undying war, I have long lay down my life to stop this. If my life is enough, I would have done so long time ago before liv

She must tell the princess about the news.“Princess, the spy thou hast sent, is here.” Dari said.“Let her in.” Alminah ordered.Chaerin bowed before her. “ Princess.”“Please speak. What happened to my father?” Alminah asked.“A decree was sent out throughout the land.” Chearin answered.“What decree?”“In exchange of your father’s life and to end this war, a marriage will be done.”“I do not understand your words.”“One of the princes is to take your hand as his wife in exchange of your father’s life.”For a moment, Alminah remained quiet, trying to deter things on her mind.“What else did they ask?”“I am not certain. But they will come here this sun down and claim you.” Chaerin said.She exhaled loudly with a troubled expression. “They will free my father then?”“After the marriage they will. They have to make sure they
