Kasif and (some) Tresa's side story

Kasif stared out at the great City of Thieves. Cup in his hand, he sloshed it around as if it were a drink that needed to be mixed. Smoke lit up the sky as the sound of a party rang through the streets. It was that type of day when there would be a party of people dancing and drinking. A big bon fire would be in the middle as people burned wood like it was nothing.

Kasif remembered the time when he too used to join in the festivities. Right now though, he just felt like standing there.

Kasif felt arms wrap around his body as the hands were placed on his shoulders. Not looking to meet with the person, he felt her feminine body touch his. He knew right away who it was.

"Reminiscing about the past again" Tresa's words were of a whisper. Asking a question which she undoubtedly knew the answer to.

She was confirmed when Kasif did not answer but instead took a drink. She smiled at him and she placed her head on his should as she closed her eyes.

Kasif stared out the window as he remember the time when he was young and this place was full of lies.

If we must start from somewhere, we must start at the beginning. Qyteti i ëndrrave was the most lavished and greenest place in all the desert kingdoms. It was the utopia of its time. A lawful city that held no crime, was well known for its trading in goods, and was the most wealthiest city.

That's why other people wanted it. Britania's king wanted to claim the holy city as his own. He and his troops were sent to the city to train and claim it as their own. The king of Qyteti i ëndrrave tried to make the King of Britania understand that his kingdom would never be taken.

Thus the long battle.

It has taken many years as the battle continued. Qyteti i ëndrrave could keep up with the Britania's constant strike due to the power of its strong walls and men. None could enter as the Britanians kept on striking the door with their giant wooden bar.

Inside the outer walls, the Qyteti i ëndrrav's soldier and archer watched from the tops as they tried to shot at the men. All was well on the inner part of the city. People still walked around as if it were a regular day. No one hid in their houses or prayed to their gods for help.

They did not need to fear the end to their food or water because they had all that in their city. They had luscious farm lands and sources of pumps that would bring the water from under the sand to their streams and lakes.

The truth is the battle can last for many more years and not a thing could prevent the Qyteti i ëndrraves from losing.

On the other hand, the Britatians were falling on short supplies on men and food. Thus, when King Ic-sus saw that battle would not end as fast as he thought, he sent a message to his kingdom. That they should not just send weapons and supplies, but people who could help them cook and make weapons for battle.

That's when armies of Britania men, blacksmiths, farmers, and women came to help their King. They set up workplaces for them to take care of the men and supply them with goods, until it was their turn to go up against the wall.

That's why, five days later, did the King Ameer, ruler of Qyteti i ëndrraves, came to the wall to see how the battle was going. When he looked over the wall at his enemy, he was struck by cupid's arrow when he saw the lovely blonde hair girl help with the cooking.

The King of Qyteti i ëndrraves had to have her. He through his whole army at the unexpected Britianians. They were crushed in a matter of one day. The King Ic-sus begged for mercy. King Ameer allowed the rest of the Britiana army to leave under one condition.
