Bab 143: Samar's Charlemagne...
Hundreds of miles away from the Battleground towards the East North, something of great significance was on its way...
"This is as far as we can guide you, Alexander...
The choice is yours, our truth is in your hands now!
We pray for God to stop the drought of your soul."
The mysterious man had all his body covered with a black long piece of clothing, but he suddenly stopped gazed at the sky, as these words echoed in his mind...
'Will this finally be what i always searched for?
Me...Who thought to have known everything about life...I can only find out myself."
He took his steps...To which direction!
Was yet to be seen.
....
Far away, but on a different direction of the world.
To take into consideration the worst possible cases, Charlemagne and his generals made sure that all women and children were to stay in the castle, The bloodline must continue no matter what!!
Those who were left in the castle, were having a tough time on their own...
"Mama...Where is my father?!!
And brother Youki?". Asked a little child as he was poking his mother's thighs.
"They'll be back soon, they have things to do...". Replied she, nervously.
"But...Everyone is gone mama!!
I feel scared...".
The mother did not reply, but the kid continues on.
"MAMAAA!!
Why is everybody gone??!!"
"SHUT UP AYOUB!!!". She suddenly yells at him without realizing.
Another woman came to calm her down.
"Easy easy Zahra!!
It's okey Ayoub...Give your mother a little time..."
This, was the case of most Atlantean mothers and children...Even Aciya herself. Who was left to protect the castle, was really worried about everyone out there.
She wished she could join, in fact her powers would have an immense impact on a lot of levels. But it is for that reason that she was ordered by the head master himself, to stay and protect the castle!!
She still tried to comfort and calm down everyone she could, either by using her powers to put the children into sleep or a state of carelessness and happiness, or by talking and comforting her fellow Atlantean women.
"Trust our men, they're very strong...and they'll return victorious!".
"...Yes miss Aciya, it's just that i fear...that maybe, not everyone is going to make it...
To give birth to our son without his father...
I don't want that!"
Aciya stood for a moment, and realized she can't keep on suggaring it.
"Listen well...Sophia!
It is true that not everyone is going to make it, that is just not possible even in the best of cases.
But that is God's destiny, and those who die for his sake are never really dead.
Your son will be blessed by his father from the heavens if he were to be killed.
Beside that he'll grow up with many father figures arround him who are just as capable....
Maybe you'll marry another man as well, and so on...
Life doesn't stop...
And doesn't always grant us what we wish for..."
The pregnant woman she was talking to, had already tears dropping from her eyes.
But her immediate answer was a simple nod from her head, as to say indeed...You're right!!
Aciya, looking at the scene barely could stop herself from crying too!
But she can't..She has to keep everyone under control.
Suddenly, another woman called her.
"Miss Aciya..."
She turned back, and realized the caller's identity.
"Oh..Mrs Charlemagne!"
"I want to talk with you about something..."
She was Charlemagne's wife!!
After they went to her personal room, which was ofcourse the same one of Charlemagne's himself.
Samar opened the drawers and took out something...
Her face looked extremely sad, yet at the same time empty and dead!
"...I found this left under my husband's pillow.
Late at night i realized he was still awake, writing something...He thought I was asleep but how could I be? He would write and throw away the papers many times before he finally stopped and got back to bed. After he went out with the army, I kept on searching for it in hidden places, didn't think he'll put it in an obvious spot..."
She hands the piece of paper to Aciya, who asks.
"...Did you read it?"
Samar. "No, I couldn't...I was afraid of what it may contain.
That is why i called you to do it.
But I have one condition...If it was something I can't take. I'd rather not hear it!"
Aciya understood her request, but she herself was afraid of what it may contain.
Again, Charlemagne was not the sentimental type of man in any way...She used this moment to ask his wife something.
"I am sorry to ask...
But I always wanted to know how Master Charlemagne treated you as his wife."
Samar looked at the void, as pictures of the near past flashed in front of her eyes, then said.
"He was...Treating me like we were still in our first days!"
Without further questions, Aciya realized that the Charlemagne Samar knows is not the same one everyone else knows.
She again goes and takes out another object, this time it was a little cute sculpture made of gold!!
"Take a look....He made this with his own hands!!
It's me and him, holding hands as am resting my head on his chest...."
Love was so touched by it, as she observed it deeply...
This little sculpture depicted so much emotions in such a cute and simple way.
Samar. "Now please...Read it!"
And finally, Aciya opens the paper and starts reading...
