My brother Kola is a man of action. He sees what must be done and does It's welcome to General Couler, Commander of the Armies of the Empire. Sometimes things aren't so simple. Where's the governor? My husband is not here at the moment. I've sent a messenger. He's on a hunting trip in the desert. Men they love to kill. But you would know that, I'm sure, Commander, how was your journey by the desert? Can be called at now? Did you tell the messenger that the governor should return immediately?
I did? What is it? What that has brought you to a lovely province? Matters of state? Of course, Please come and and your men, and are most welcome. You seem to have come with the smaller guard than befits the commander of all the armies of Tomomby our mission is urgent, My men required, indeed, I will have them attended to. Please take the General's escort and see to their needs. Com gentlemen, please go with my people, make your requests known to them with your former Thank you.
Through it calm, general refreshment. Let me take you through. I see you looking at our new marble atrium. We have just completed it. The stone came from a quarry in colun District, where the miners are all from a tribe of little people. They say they live their whole lives as children. Ah. Yes, my husband's collection of statues from the ancient world. I understand many of the finest in two and they were destroyed. Have we met before? Oh? Yes, General,
we have. Please tell me how is our sultan. There are many challenges into Munby, and she is working hard to bring peace and prosperity. But I am not asking about your daughter, General, I am asking about my son Herod. You asked of the Sultan. Oh yes, how foolish of me. Does not his marriage to your daughter make them as well? Word is carrying out his duties satisfactorily. Well, I have heard he has been excluded from the council. He has no role to play in the palace. His role is
as husband to the Sultan. And yet my informants tell me he is likewise excluded from her bed and that she is closer to her woman adviser than to my son. I hope you don't mind me sharing these concerns with you, General, After all, we are family now. Trueman Bay is in crisis. The match was a political alliance and now your husband needs to deliver on it. Your house was ennobled. Your taxes will set aside for five years. In return you were to provide too Munbay with forces if necessary. I
need soldiers and I need them now. Are you sure I can't press you to eat something. I don't have time for this. Find me a guide and take me to wherever your husband is wasting his time. Yeah, very well. Is the general's escort ready? Have they been? Yes? Madam good? This way. General. We need you and I to understand the new relationship. What new relationship, madam well, my son, your daughter. Of course we want to help to Mumbay, help you General, but things are different. What do you mean?
Do you remember the last time you came, well, not here, but to my last husband's palace in the Eastern Province. He was governor there, the Eastern Province. Don't you remember, Lord Osman? You were in a hurry then as well, and when Osman questions your demands, you had one of your men cut him down. I am sorry for your loss, Lord Usman challenged to Mumbay is authority, Indeed, the provinces can only survive and prosper because to Mumbay protects them.
If a provincial governor becomes too powerful, they become a problem. Before you came demanding, But now you seem to be begging. No, what protection is to Mumbay offering? What? What protection does the mighty tumin Bey offer us now in these times? Let me be clear. I am here with the Sultana's express orders and they are to be obeyed. Oh I see, so why didn't you open the door? What's going on? Just open it? Go on? You will understand your men's quarters.
Go in, sergeant, sergeant ha ha oh h the name of God? What have you done? I had them hanged? Shall we say in recompense for my late heart? Do you understand? Now? General? We may give you an army, but remember if we do, it's loyalty is to us not to let me Tuman Day Series three, Episode five, Accidental hero by Mike Walker. Be careful. I don't want to lose you again. Look after our child. Come back to us. I promised, my sweet sweet child. How I
will miss use? Please to come where the Grandmaster wants to see you? What does he want with me? Listen? This is your only chance. If you don't satisfy him, they will put you overboard a citizen of tum Me if anything happens to me. She doesn't like to be kept waiting this way. She's here, Grandmaster woman. The only reason who I hear is because this boy spoke up for you. But he has inexperienced. He's a litlead. I'm not sure you can see as clearly as I can, Grandmaster.
You'll have a chance to save herself. What should I do? It's up to you, young woman. If you intend to take me, then take me. But I am not giving myself to anyone. I do not choose for myself. Boy, who can go? Are you prepared to die for the sake of your virtue? Are you prepared to kill me for it? Virtue? From a slave merchant? How much suffering have you caused in your life? And you're the only
way we can learn is through suffering. When my eyes were gouged from my head, I knew such pain, such despair, that I wished only to die. But I did not die. I crawled across the desert. And when I lay exhausted and the scorpions crawled across me, I ate them and crawled on. I survived, and God gave me the grace and the strength to see another way. How I saw my father die and my baby torn from my womb. Don't tell me about paid my lord? Where do you come from? With your arm and eyes? How can you
know that? I see more clearly now than I ever did when I had my side. I come from Serene. I was brought up in a civilized house. My father allowed me to be educated. He collected ancient texts, and I could read four of the old tongues by the time I was twelve. Under table a scroll? What is it? It's an Americ. It seems to be a letter from one scribe to another. Greetings from your humble servant. I can't decipher the name. I in trust my messenger. These
um these ancient scrolls from before time. You can put it back? What is your name? Have then of the house of human Bay, very well, heaven, of the house of Hman Bay. You will serve me. I'm a citizen of Tuman. By what if I don't care to serve you? What if your slaves did not care to be slaves, you would have them flogged? I dare say so. You will serve me. Um hm, Grandmaster, we're passing through the gates of Blood. Very good. They're on the cliff the
greatest of our castles. It's called the fist of God. It has never been taken. You look red the rocks to remind us we serve the sacred Blood and will not stint our own in that service. Take my hand, you may leave me ashore. You trust me, I trust our destiny. We are both servants of that. Welcome back, Grandmaster. Forgive my haste that there's a messenger from to Monday. From to Monday. We have come from to Monday, Grandmaster. I came as fast as I could, riding through the
bad lands to get ahead of Wait. Take the woman to the servants quarters. Come now, what news violence and tuman by Grandmaster? Rumors about We believe the Sultana has been overthrown. You believe things are still unclear. I know only what our spies in the city have been able to tell us, and who is behind this report? Cadi, Very well, all is proceeding as God has ordained. The week will be thrown down, and the believers exalted keep
me unford to make wine great. Are crushed in an iron press until their juice is extracted and only the skins are left. This day by day in Tuman Bay, the screw is tightened and blood flows. Stand here, Why are we here? You have no right? You cannot do this. Bow your head towards the Committee of Justices. I am the Sultana. This is my vizier. Yes, yes, well what now, Cadali a show trial under the laws of two Munday moments?
If you please? Cadali is loving this? And what am I a helpless observer to my nieces demise or a collaborator? You have been tried under the laws of truman Baby, What do you mean tried? Cadally? We have said Plohing had no chance to defend ourselves. The committee has examined all the facts. What committee is this? Mh you yes, you sir, state your name and position. You have no authority haranging the justices will get you know where this is treason? And Gregor are your party to this? I
served to Manbay that sounded weak. I have always put to Manbay before all else, and to Manbay needs a strong leader exactly better. Where is he? Prince Herod your husband? Or have you forgotten you have one? I don't know where he is, m I do. I'm intrigued, Cadali of what exactly is her majesty accused the gold you gave two man Bays gold reserves to the enemy. We had no choice and you have no difference. It was your suggestion. All I did was of my city in time of war.
You and your you're so called frizzier here made the decision. Your decision, your crime, and what happens now it's for the court to decide. But I'm very afraid if there is only one sentence possible, given the gravity of the crime, you said they would be banished. Oh I had hoped. I pleaded for kency, but unless it's the law, it's bigger than all of us. Now, Gregor, why don't you bring the prisoners forward so that the court may pass sentence?
Come forward, please, you cowardly writer. I think I would have to agree, h ah Ris Sarad. I wonder when you would join me. I heard a child crying? Where was a dream? No, we have a child, Amana. She was crying earlier. Huh where's her mother? Way on business? But you must miss her child? Yes? Is there any news from the palace? Nothing? I'm afraid. No one is going in or out. I crave to get out when I was there, and now all I want. You don't want to be inside. Trust me, there will be executions
and tortures, and my wife is inside. I am sorry. I didn't mean Sultana and I. We're not close, not at all. Jarley knows who I am. I spend more time with that damn monkey then with her. He shows me more affection than she does. Well, you're here, You're alive. That's something. That's a lot. It means there's still a chance to act, act, to do something right. Well, mostly what I do is spend my time getting drunk, gambling, losing, and well, you know, my mother always said I was
used to this. She was right. I remember when I was twelve, I wanted to do something to please my mother, and I thought i'd remember some texts of our faith. I was going to recite them to her and her friends at gather ring. I work for months studying them, remembering every line, every word, and then when I stood there in front of her, she had invited my father and friends to witness my achievement, I forgot everything. I can still see the look on her face, that disappointment
and disgust. And I've been seeing that local people's faces all my life. H I had a kingdom once I was a king. We are buffeted by fate. Sometimes it seems to us that the wars of circumstances that surround us so as high and strong as the wars of two mumby. But they are not. We can throw them down if we want to. Enough, we can change things. Do you really believe that I do? I don't. Ah, Then we'll see in the morning. Why what's happening in
the morning. Sometimes whatever you hope, there simply isn't any choice, and you have to do the thing, the damned thing. Open up, it's time. How has it come to this? Uncle? You go and get the other one. It's all right. You don't need to touch me. I come willingly seem I'm afraid. Perhaps shall we go? We have said our goodbyes. I'm ready as you please. You have no heart, no heart, God, please, yes, I'm sorry. Hearts no good without a brain. Come on,
we need torry where the under city. There's a way close by, passages under the palace will be safe. Come on. Maybe I was wrong with that let's get out of here. First. Left there at the end of the passage, there's a grill wait in the shadow. Now left now, I'm going quickly. It should just swing mm hmm. It's called the torture by hope. Say where you are, not to say where
you are. Yes, a refinement introduced by a certain can in the far East to offer the condemned the last bright hope of freedom, only to snuff it out at the final moment. The grill was relocked this morning, griggle. I am not a fool, and you are all too predictable. There will be three executions today. Quite a show for the crowd. Shall we go? Could I have acted otherwise? There's a good act. Good if there's no choice involved? How long will they keep using as long as suits
Cadally he needs the crowd on his side. He has to give them a good show. Oh, and I'm going to be sick behind my cloak. Don't let them see your fear. One day, Gregor you may surprise yourself with your own decency. It is better to be quick, m listen. I want you to indulge my curiosity. Go on. Since nothing much matters anymore, I would like to know people believe that you were ah Maya people or you, Gregor. They say Maya was never one person, not even many people.
Does that answer your question? No, I'm sorry to leave you unsatisfied. You will understand one day. You have more faith in our future than I have. I have no doubt that I'm going to die today, but I will live again. I don't believe that there is only one world. I'm world is this people off to men by Your leaders have been consulting with two men bas enemies. They have betrayed you to enrich themselves. Gregor, This world is a flickering candle flame. It's there, it isn't there, then
it's there again. It can be snuffed out and then there will come to darkness, but it can be re lit. Remember that the scrolls you want said the Ballarak have them. Now there is an answer there where you have to wait. There's no time to wait, my love. Are you all right? Yes, I'm I can face what we have to face together. I don't think we should be here. This could be really really dangerous. Come on, this tree will do, the branches will give us. I don't want to see this up.
You go. They're bringing them out corn now, poor girl, now come on, no very well, my love, I will see you again. We're all to die the kidney. This is not the end bringer out can you basic calm, have courage? Leave him alone? Come on, no, no, citizens of true men, bear first on the program for today. I can hidden presence behind the throne, the agent of Maya, the corruptor of innocence. Head form. Don't struggle, just look straight ahead. I will make it beatless. Do you have
anything to say? I I have traveled the world, and I have seen many countries and many men, but I have never seen such an incompetent pathetics. Do your job. Hang the each now, good journey, mother, Good life to you, sir, and all enemies of they're not they're not cheering, And why aren't they cheering? No, majesty, they want to show. I'll give them a show. Bring out the Sultana and Commander gregg Or bring them both. We'll do a double. Now.
She looks so young. It's wrong. The bustard Gregor can die a thousand times before like him, and your henchman, Gregor, son of no man will be broken on the wheel. Herod, you are the Sultan, what do you mean, look look freaky little well. I'm sorry I got it wrong from the beginning. I thought I could save you and the satire. This time I can't. About the baby feels no pity, my friends. These people are bad. We will will have taken it from you, from your family's We don't a
little more. What can I do? You have to stand up now and speak. I can't. I can't. My mother, I I here, here's present, see him, listen to his words. Here's your soultor speak? Am you speak to I? Uh? This still tynam and now is no traitor. What's happening here this day now is a lie. She has served human bay got man there. And there is another traitor, the sultana's husband hiding in a tree. I urge you to knock him down. Knock him down. Wait, wait, I
don't know what to say. Don't stop now, say anything, just keep talking. I I was a king, had a kingdom once. Ah. We are buffeted by fate. Sometimes it seems to us that the rules of circumstances that surround us as I strong as the walls of human pain. But they are not. They are not. We can throw them down if you want through another. We can change things. Free the fulkner now free per what's he doing? They can't do this execution the while you're beading my words?
What you can do? The gods can't hold them through the barriers. Not just you? Wh are you going? There's something I have to see to. I just don't excellence, just ex we see. Then wept the weary warlord then cried the very clouds. They gave up the snake her form, then past the flesh of the lizard, and lost the times of heroes, brave and men forgot the land. So fair enough for now. But you know this, Why do you need me to read it for you? Your word
must be spoken, sounded aloud. Only then will it become real in this world. For God spoke the creation of all things, and I like your voice. You read, well, refresh yourself. There's wine you hesitated, Paul, bring meke up. You wish to ask a question, go on, where are you women? How women? Have you no wives? Why are the only women here servants? Because we are given, we have sworn to serve God and live us warrior monks.
It's an amazing thing when you offer your life to a great cause and there is no greater cause than to serve the word of God. Your silence tells me a great deal. Firstly that you think about things, and secondly that what you think is that we are just another religion that wants to make the people live as we believe they should. But you're wrong. Everyone has a choice. Without choice, there is no freedom. Without freedom to choose,
there is no good or evil. And if they make the wrong choice, then assuredly they will suffer unspeakable abominations when the world ends. Mhm h hello over here, traveling horse shite. My father used to send the servants to collect it, good for the gardens. You were kind to me on the ship. I brought yourself food. Thank you. M hm. You're from to Mumba two, aren't you. Why are you here? I wanted to be a soldier like the grand Master. What I don't think you do? I
think you're lying. Well, good luck. I hope you don't get killed. I saw you with the scrolls you saw me in a dream. They were painted very beautiful lizards and snakes. They meant something for you, for me, all of us. What are you talking about. I see things I saw my father die. I saw the old salts and die and it came to pass. So you're a prophet. I have been called that. Well, I say, you look more like a grubby boy, shoveling horse shite. Good night.
I hope you dream of happier times. The blind man, are you close to him? What of it? He's going to kill someone? My friend, a girl? Where here? No, in tuman Bay. I have to stop him. I have to say. I don't want to hear this. I need you to help me. Tell me where he goes when he's alone. I just want to live, to get back to my family, to the people I love. That's why don't you see why I have to kill him? Because I love her? No, No, I have a child. I can't drisk I can help you. I'm sorry, I can
help you. Well. Good morning, General cooler. There have been all sources of excitements overnight. What are you talking about? News from to Mumbai. A coup against your daughter. It failed thanks to my son the Sultan. Are your daughter? Yes as well, but I'm afraid that that woman, the unnatural woman Alkin, she was killed. Ah mm hmm. Are you all right? General? This is joyous news, thanks to my son to Mumbai has been secured, but there may be more trouble. It's time to march, but is still away.
We must go without him into the city is more exposed than ever. The Ballarat will likely attack. Are you sure you're all right? General? Not ill? Yes? Yes, sorry, so the army awaits its general. Look outside. You are looking for something for for something to read you, grandmaster, We have finished the lands affair I wanted to prepare. You have a lot of scrolls, Our roader goes back many years. These are just a fuel in our library. You will find more than you could ever read. These
are fine painted, very beautiful lizards and snakes? What are they? Let me feel there's a nut for you. Put them back? Are you a spy heaven of the house of Yep? No, My father is too. He collected many scrolls and lived for his collection, and in the end he died for it too. I always love stories, legends, travelers, tales. I honor him when I honor what is written down. You admired in love, possessions, family, children, All of these things stand in a man's way. Only God come news from
him and bade my master go on. The cue has failed, of course, it has failed. That Manka Dali was now more than a useful idiot. Does he live We've no news of him, and this sort. She has been restored to the throne Eraorder's Grandmaster. Alkin's body lies upon a table in the throne room. Mannell has not left her side. We hurt for those we love and lose also, I'm told. What is strange is the manner of Alkin's death. She
was so calm she seemed to welcome it. It was as if the body was dead before she was hanged. Uncle Majesty, we believe the traitor kud Ali is hiding in the city. My spies questioned those involved at all levels. Prince Herod, I didn't realize that you were here. Why wouldn't I be? My wife needs me by her side at this time. Good, So why haven't you Ancha Darney. Well, he's clever. He kept all the elements apart, so none
could see the whole plan but him. I want him alive, of course you do, Majesty, and you shall have him and everyone who had anything to do with this, down to the meanest gatekeeper. It shall be done, Majesty, touch me, I'm sorry. We'll give her the burial she deserves in the martyrs too. Maybe it stant you. She wouldn't want that to be confined in a dark room. She wasn't a martyr, she didn't believe it. She was a wise traveler. We will send her off as a traveler, of course.
Of course, shall I leave you alone? Please? No? Um? I don't know much, mh. I'm mostly pretty useless, but I do know about being hurt and being alone, and maybe one day, maybe a long long time away, but maybe I'll be able to help you and hold you. Listen, Herod. I appreciate what you did, but I'm afraid that won't be possible. But I can help you, support you. I know I could never be able to advise as she didn't. You will get your reward, don't worry. Reward, No, that's
not what I I'm your husband. Don't you understand I would rather have died with her. Ah? Can you not see that I am dying inside? Yes? Yes, you saved me, and I will give you a place on the council. You deserve it, but we will never be as man and wife except in name. I'm sorry, but I have a sword in my heart. I keep turning around expecting to see her there, and she is never there and will never be there again. Of course, m you taught
me so many things, told me so much. You showed me how to deal with men and women and fans large and small, how to expect the unexpected and turn disadvantage to my own ends. You told me all that, and yet you never told me how to cope with losing you. Why couldn't you have done that? It would make it all so much easier to bear. Okay, okay, we gather at the shore to send the Traveler fourth on her last journey. Majesty, it is time. Yes, take
the torch, go continue your journey, my friend. They go the ropes for sure, out top where let her ashes travel the oceans for all time. M h flick a fro. What is it? Do you truly love this girl? Yes? They are going to take to my b leave it, But I need to get close to him, the Grandmaster. How can I? I will help you hunt your horse? General, lead my army. Well, give the command, commander, my command. You are the greatest commander Tumanby has ever seen. Now
tell them to proceed, Yes, prosched. We are going to tumm Bay to defend the city from the valorad word. There is little wind to stir the sales of Alkins funeral ship. The sea is flat.
