Role model
After the clans, who had fled over the Nori in the deepest snowstorm, were able to return to their homeland in the shadow of the now safe Junghal Mountains, all the chorten in the central country took in refugees from the lost areas on the other side of the mountains, which of course did not improve the situation . How was all the extra people going to get through the winter? Nobody knew
what to do , and a gloomy, fateful stupor settled over the whole country. The people prayed to Hyaun in silent swoon and tried to feed their little flame of life from the rations that were getting thinner and thinner every day. It was a fight against time. Before the snow melted and the first nutritious green would sprout in the fields and meadows, there were at least two hard months to survive.
The warriors who had returned from the border to join their families were in charge of the clan's supplies. The allocation for each individual was also her job. But as meager as the rations wer

Three days later, Farna's body was cremated on the western wall of Shari-Chorten at sunset, along with four other dead that had occurred that night. The smoke of the fire floated in gray veils around the whitewashed towers of the fortress, on whose roofs the bright red pennants of mourning had been blowing in the wind without interruption since summer, and mingled with the haze of the falling night. The mourners stood still, among them Roman, Alea and Andra at the cremation site and looked into the flames, which at least provided comforting warmth. In addition to the smell of burnt meat and pine wood, there was something else in the warm evening air. And no one could resist it. It conjured up a delicate, hopeful shine in the tired eyes of the exhausted people. Spring was heralding!'Unfortunately for some, however, it's painfully too late,' thought Roman sadly. He sat at the ritual cremation site until late at night and stared at the burned logs, the embers of which bathed hi

At the foot of the burial rock, the funeral procession stopped, and when everyone was full, the ascent began. Even the weak were pulled up, supported or even carried on your back. Up on the small, hand-leveled plateau, the community gathered around a cone-shaped pile of stones in the uncomfortably cold wind. Prayers had been artistically carved into the stones of this heap, which were in turn decorated with gold leaf and which shimmered gently despite the overcast winter sky. The five vessels with the remains of the dead were placed on the cairn by the high priest while his assistants began the monotonous funeral prayers in the ancient Hy language. After the ritual was over, Roman, Farna's only child, stepped forward and took the jar with her ashes. The children of the other deceased did the same and together they walked to the edge of the plateau. He looked carefully into the depths and then into the distance. The circular choir, the territory of his clan, spread out before him. Th

And how did it all turn out?" Andra asked. She had grown into a bright girl in the past four years, and Raen was a cheerful child too, who kept everyone in suspense with his curiosity. He fidgeted impatiently on the bench next to his sister. They sat with their father in the bay window of the room he shared with Alea. It was cold and dark outside: a winter storytelling evening. Her mother was still at work in the tailor's workshop, and so Roman shortened the waiting time for his children until the evening meal, for which the residents of the chorten always gathered in the large dining room after sunset.“Then spring finally came, and new grass grew in the pastures. We opened the stables and let the horses out to graze. Unfortunately there were only horses left. We had to eat all the other animals! ”“ What, everyone? ”Raen called out. “The oxen too? And the pigs? ”“ Yes, all of them. We were really very hungry! ”

In the past few years, Askhar had actually been preoccupied with many things other than just rebuilding his army. Because the newly conquered land on the other side of the Old Frontier Sea had been waiting to be repopulated. Of course, King Katthike had raged and raged over the embarrassing defeat of his proud armed forces. He had demoted General Kasai and placed the unpopular task of rebuilding the army in his hands. From then on, the old warrior had to turn his back on active warrior life and take care of the not very demanding establishment of new training camps across the country. Kasai had learned firsthand how great the loss of well-trained soldiers and officers had actually been due to his defeat on the battlefield, and that it would take years for the army to regain its former strength. But worse than the memories of his guilt was Lata's open mockery. The Konsultas had fully savored his favor with the demotion of his rival and his exclusion from the king's closest advisory t

Lata sighed, turned on her side and pulled the covers over her shoulder. Riddle upon riddle and no solution in sight. Perhaps a new day would freshen him up and untangle the ball of thought in his head. He decided to take a look around the area tomorrow. Out in the fresh air he could still think best, the walls here were beginning to press him. He closed his eyes and when he finally fell asleep he saw the image of the king. A wide, sinister smile cut his face in half.In the morning a servant appeared in Lata's room, which he had occupied in the former Hy Fortress, and informed him that the king wished to take him on a horse ride. Lata obeyed this request and had his chamberlain look for his embroidered hunting robe from his luggage. They had been here in the north of New Askhar for a few weeks now, because the king wanted to personally convince himself of the progress of the settlement and the construction of his summer pal

Today there was a brisk ferry traffic between the new and old ports on the Old Border Sea. New settlers drove north in the hope of leading a better life there, and grain and other goods came in the opposite direction to the homeland, which no longer had to worry about in the particularly dry months. Times were good for Askhar, and Katthike was rightly proud of his great work. Besides, it had given him a completely new reputation almost overnight, and now he was in the unfamiliar state of being admired and cheered by his people.Lata narrowed her eyes a little. In the distance the ox-cart was turning into a different path and was moving away from the two observers. The king had meanwhile averted his penetrating gaze from Lata and continued: "All this wonderful land is mine now, and I can go in and out as I please." He let out a deep, satisfied sigh. "But the best thing about this is that nobody will ever steal it from me again!" His right index finger poked in the direction of

You don't know?" The king exclaimed in astonishment, but then continued to speak more quietly because the bodyguards, which was lying some distance away shouldn't have noticed any of this. “Lata, you disappoint me, I would have expected a little more acumen from you. But no offense. It's my own little secret ”, Katthike raised her index finger,“ which soon won't be any more. You want to know who the child's father is? ”Lata nodded curtly. He hated being tortured by the king, but he let him have the pleasure."Do you still remember my Hy?""The warrior who was murdered by the novice from Tulga?""Quite right, that one."Lata remembered very well how they had managed to capture the Hy warrior. He ran into four Askharic scouts at the snow-covered pass, quite by accident. Of course, the scouts had recognized the incredible importance of their catch and immediately started their way back. Every child in Askhar knew that a wildly

Tell me why you want to appoint Setna as your heir to the throne?""You listened, didn't you?"At Katthike's icy tone, Lata's smile slipped from her face. "Yes I have. But I ... ”The king's hand intervened. "Then you should havenoticed that the edict also applies to me." Lata wanted to laugh in amusement, since when did Katthike have to obey his laws?"My line of ancestors is also contaminated," continued the king and indignantly thrust his crooked foot forward. “You can't miss it, I think! And my son Kanaima is no good either! ”“ But after all he is your own son! ”“ Oh, what! He's a no-good. What I need for Askhar's future is healthy blood. I want a strong king, radiant and beautiful, a flawless creature. One to look up to, not a lame cripple. And Setna will be this king, he will found a new and powerful dynasty and rule over the Askharic empire that I will put into his hands! And I'll free my
