"O Solon, Solon, Hellenes aei paides este, geron de Hellen ouk estin" "O Solon, Solon, you Hellenes are never anything but children, and there is not an old man among you." - Plato, Timaeus There is a reason why Antonius asked Yuri to recall that boring and shameful battle he fought two years back, as the name of the Ottoman commander of the East is again mentioned in the letter. With that in mind the admiral asked Yuri again, on his opinions on that famed Ottoman commander Mahumad Pasha Angelovic; What…-

"دو تربوز به یک دست گرفته نمیشود" "You cannot hold two melons with one hand." - Afghan Proverb Borislav came in to the terrace praying hard to Christ that he shall keep his life, making him perhaps the most faithful Christian in the world using every single bit of time available to pray. And it seems like God has answered is prayers, not only did he not lose his life but also gained a place in the lord's central government, and also a place for his grand son in the Central…

Just as Antonius is continuing his speech, a rider suddenly galloped in to the terrace and got stopped by the guards, halting the speech of Antonius briefly. It seems like the rider carries some vital information with him that he even started arguing with the guards who just do not allow him to enter. Antonius excused himself from the crowd, walked to the gate of the terrace and enquired what is going on, then did he finally spot the flag the rider is carrying on his back that symbolises for emergency…

"The God of heaven will set up a kingdom that will never be destroyed, nor will it be left to another people. It will crush all those kingdoms and bring them to an end, but it will itself endure forever." - Book of Daniel "Honourable Elder… " Antonius pulled Borislav up from the ground. "Actually, I am here today not only to reassure you people that I shall not take your lives, but also here to offer you even more benefits under my rule." Borislav did not quite get what the Caesar means. "Tell me,…

The stiff atmosphere lasted for a while like the air has frozen in this place, with every one frozen in their positions like they are nothing but a bunch of silhouettes. Even Antonius himself is stunned in surprise for the rapid turning of events, as he certainly did not expect this chubby man to be so damn dramatic and put up such an explosive performance right in front of him, messing up all of his plans and arrangement to continue this show of slaying goats and the intimidated faces of these criminals…

The feast continues inside the terrace, with the chubby merchant sitting on top, Antonius eating by his left hand side accompanied by Yuri and his personnel guards. Around him seats all the other merchants and land lords who dare not to utter a single word, and in their center there are three gigantic bronze pots with burning woods cracking, then finally beside the pots there are four Mamluk soldiers butchering a goat, with two more goats waiting behind in line for their turn to be butchered. The knives…

"Не оставяй днешната работа за утре" "Never leave today's work for tomorrow." - Bulgarian Proverb Almost every single important figure of Drama is now being gathered in this court yard, by their lord Antonius, accomplishing some thing almost impossible as despite these people all being roughly the same in nature, they are divided within themselves in to different alliances and trade unions due to their conflicted interests in various areas of incomes. With the pressure…

"Spiritalis enim virtus sacramenti ita est ut lux: etsi per immundos transeat, non inquinatur" "The spiritual virtue of a sacrament is like light: although it passes among the impure, it is not polluted." - Augustine of Hippo. "Look at these pathetic faggots, Yuri." A distance away Antonius, the people these merchants having been waiting for so damn long, is casually seated on a hill observing the commotion beneath him with a clear sight, while in contrast these people beneath cannot see him. He has…

The world entered the year of 1460 in a pretty violent state, with tears and wears all over it as there is war ongoing in almost every single populated space, from the West to the East. It seems like the hardest thing for human kind is to end their squabbles to have some peace, as obviously when there is tension for profits, troops with sword is the best and fastest way to solve it. Which is a similar case for the past events going on in the Greek Peninsula. But what makes things different is that Antonius…

"I will need to have a look with my own eyes on how did the situation became like this." Antonius stood up taking his coat and took a deep breathe before he left the tent, exhaling a line of white fume in to the air. "Yuri should have finished his job by the time we arrive." The soldier standing on guard immediately bowed down acknowledging the order, and started packing up while Antonius went back in staring at the teenager. "Boy, where would you want to go after this?" The teenager hesitated a bit, and…
