Dastan blinked, he had been underground Alamut with Nizam.  Tamina was gone, his brothers and father also dead, but when he blinked again there they were.  He looked down to find he did not hold the dagger either.

“Dastan?”  Tus called out to him.

He licked his lips, stunned in the moment to answer.  They were in Tus’s tent before the battle in Alamut where everything had changed.

“Maybe you should stop fighting with the soldiers if you are going to let them beat you into incomprehension,” Garsiv added.

Earning Respect

An empire was only as strong as its borders.  A weak border was an invitation to the Byzantines who grew bold in their attacks to threaten the Persian Empire.  It was enough of a threat that King Sharaman would lead his army to a decisive answer.

The tents of Sharaman and Tus were concentrated in the middle of the camp.  Garsiv and Dastan were on the outer edges.  The princes were planning the patrols, especially as they eased their way closer to the area of skirmishes.
