The training camp
King Ahmed has been at one of the training camps now for awhile. It is here that the men of his army practice their shooting. The camp has places for manuvers. The camp is set up with the building where the meeting room is located and in the middle of the right and left sides of the yard are the buildings with the dining rooms. Some of the farmers bring in food every day for the men. There are also four buildings where the men can practice fighting with their swords. Sometimes they pracatice outside. Not all men on Xanthia have swords but those in the army do.
King Ahmed practices with Omar. Omar is one of the King's top men. King Ahmed has gone into detail about the Druids. He explains to the men that they must keep their distance because the Druids go for the throat.
There are also some trainig camps on the continent of Krua. Krua is made up of three provinces with their capitals. And also farms and villages. The natives are from the Africans on earth. They are also Muslim. Some of the natives are modern by Xanthia standards and some wish to be like they always were. The Africans are from very brave tribes from Earth. Some of the black men have come to the continent of Oman to train with King Ahmed.
Amman has arrived with the wagon as King Ahmed has asked him to do. King Ahmed has decided to go into town along with Amman in the wagon, Arabia is tied to the back of the wagon. There are a few things king Ahmed wants to get for Ishtar. They travel along the road with a few of the men. King Ahmed always has some of his men with him.
In the town, King Ahmed decides that Ishtar will need a cell phone for herself. About the clothes she will have to come to the village with Cassem and two of the other women at the Palace on the next day. King Ahmed tells Amman to pick up some food and he gives Amman some gold coins to pay for the food. With that King Ahmed tells Amman he will see him back at the Palace. He unties his horse and hitches the horse in front of the shop. King Ahmed decides to go to the shop of exotic animals and he picks out a fluffy black kitten for Ishtar. The kitten wears a fancy collar with red rubies on it. The King has noticed Ishtar's ruby ring. Ishtar will name the kitten. King Ahmed hopes she will like the cat.
Ishtar has spent her time reading while she is waiting for the return of King Ahmed. She examined some of the books in the magic room. By magic room I would like to explain that some of the books are history of the Universe and some of them are potions and spells. The book that Ishtar has decided to study is the book of the history of the Druids. Best to kill the Druids and then burn them so that they can not come back.
At this time I would like to remind you again that the year is 850a.d. Only so many modern inventions exist. Since King Ahmed and Ishtar are Time Travelers it is possible for them to go back even farther than they are now.
Ishtar is thinking of King Ahmed. She hopes he likes her.
