The vision seemed to repeat itself. The raven flew and flew. Suddenly the Setna felt that he was being pulled there, and suddenly the eyes of the raven were his own eyes and his wings were his arms. Slowly he slid across the landscape. The cold tips of the Junghal rose from beneath him, and like a thin trickle of blood, Askhar's army wound its way through the deep snow, man behind man. He could see the soldiers in their red armor line up at the foot of the pass, and the warriors of Hys lurking behind their makeshift barricades. The raven, with which the Setna had become one, sank lower, and as it circled between the steep, snow-laden slopes, it accidentally grazed one of the virginally glittering surfaces with its wing tip. At first there was only a small cut in the otherwise untouched, white blanket, but then there was a deep rumble and the cut tore open. After that everything was white. The sky, the air, the earth, everything.
The Setna opened its eyes. The meaning of the v

The general spat the bitter taste from his mouth and prevented further thoughts of what was going on in the palace. Everything would change anyway once he returned home triumphant.He raised his gaze to the two peaks that flanked the pass to Hy. Then he turned in the saddle and looked back at a sea of red armor above which a forest of lances protruded. The army was big and strong, and Kasai was confident. He let his gaze wander over the pass one last time, where a black band slowly began to move: the defenders of the pass were in position!"Then let's go," he said quietly to himself, and little clouds rose from his mouth. His splendid, gold-trimmed armor shone in the sun.The day the general deployed his army was made for it by the gods. Knee-deep powder snow, which would make the Hyaun warriors lose the advantage of their speed, and behind the attackers bright sunshine in a prophetically blue sky - as if the deep celestial body were an unearthly ally of the Roy

'The snow!' Was all he understood. 'The snow is alive!' He hastily turned his horse and drove it as fast as he could out of the side of the funnel entrance. Now it was only a matter of saving your own skin! The part of the standard bearers who had stayed with him and the back rows of soldiers followed him in panic. The horses stumbled through the snow-covered scree and some of the riders fell. Behind them, two roaring walls of snow thundered down into the valley like angry monsters, chasing cold fear into the neck of Kasai and burying the confused army of the king among their masses. A white cloud swept up into the blue sky and then slowly descended in a deadly silence.When Kasai felt himself out of danger, he reined in his horse. He too was powdered white from head to toe. Snow stuck to his beard, eyes and ears. Blinking violently, he looked back. Disbelief and anger mingled in a grimace on his face.A heavy slurry of snow and shattered bodies of people and animals c
War of freedom.. War is inevitable 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 knewwhat 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! ”
War of freedom.. War is inevitable Hyunic prince title
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
