2024-10-29 19:42:56Ah ha." Loenka thought about it. Actually, the thought of a red horse amused him, and he would have loved to see it. But all of this had a very serious background. He saw Raen's eyes close again.
“I think we'll let the exercises stay better for today. You are completely slain. Go home, eat and go to sleep. Just come back tomorrow morning. ”
“ Yes, thank you, Hyaunset Loenka. See you tomorrow. ”Raen got up, bowed to the priest and the statue and left the temple.
It was now dark outside, and Raen hurried to get inside the north tower through the freezing cold. Exhausted, he climbed the stairs to the seventh floor. Actually, he should have reported in the kitchen downstairs, where most of the children were at this time of the day. Because it was the job of the younger ones to help the men and women of the house, the Parta Al Tena, with the preparation of the evening supper. But he was dog tired, wasn't even hungry anymore and just wanted to

His father waved his hand, whose face now also looked very tired. “Forget the word, Raen. The best thing is, you really go to bed now. ”Raen nodded, but he didn't like it at all that his father wanted to end the conversation like that. Why did he never get reasonable answers to his questions? He looked a lot at the light sword that was still lying on the floor next to his father, and stayed there pensively.Suddenly his hand shot out in the direction of the blade, but Roman reacted with lightning speed. He grabbed Raen's arm and stopped him just above the steel. With the other hand, he quickly pushed the sword out of Raen's reach, and it struck the wall and made a bright, metallic sound."Don't!" He shouted angrily. His voice hit Raen like a slap.He looked at his father with wide eyes, and was shocked again when he saw his horrified expression on his face.“You mustn't touch it! No way! Do you understand? It's bad for you! &rdqu

Raen's eighth birthday was the day he had longed for the most, because now he could finally learn to ride. Roman insisted on teaching Raen's first attempts at riding on his own horse, later Henendra the riding master would take over.Raen loved his father's horse and it was the greatest thing for him to sit on its back and look at the world from there. Up here he felt perfectly safe. After a short time he was able to trot alone through the snow, the horse obediently on the reins. Overjoyed he beamed all over his face. Roman was also delighted to see how well the boy got on with the big horse. Apparently he had good skills in dealing with animals.Kaeisan, Great Helper, that was the name of Roman's black stallion, always appeared in Raen's dreams. Everything else was gone, including the blood horse. There was only him and the black horse. Sitting lightly in the saddle, Raen galloped across the fields in his dreams; the dusty streets flew under Kaeisan's swift hooves, an

Finally, the warriors who had come down from the forbidden Upper Sanctuary received the blessing from the Hyaunset suer. Raen knew that they had undergone a zhangha ceremony in the upper temple room during the past hours. Unfortunately, his father hadn't told him exactly what was going on there. Roman came over to them. His eyes shimmered glassy from the effects of the intoxication from the Zhangha herb, and he shielded them from the bright sunlight with one hand. Raen looked up at him and he smiled.In the courtyard of the chorten, which in the meantime had been prepared for the big feast, the people mingled again, and people took their places in small, colorful groups on the mats. Everyone had brought their eating and drinking bowl and put it in front of them. The whole courtyard was filled with lively chatter and laughter, and the children's corner surpassed the adults in terms of cheerful exuberance. Then the fragrant food was served by the men and women of the house. For

The wash house, a two-story stone building with a gable roof that spanned the courtyard next to the south tower, was very busy. Alea and her children were greeted cheerfully, and they went to the hooks on the side wall, where they took off their nightgowns and hung them up.In a Hyunic wash house, men and women shared different open areas: there was only strict separation between the normal people and the warriors and priests. Only women who were pregnant or whose moon blood had come could go to the private rooms to wash. In Hy, personal hygiene was taken very seriously and it was even claimed that the word hygiene, which is used far beyond the borders of the country and which is known to be synonymous with cleanliness, should have its roots in the usage of Hy, because it means " in the manner of Hy-adhygia ”. And taking a bath Hy fashion was an extremely refreshing proposition.After the morning cleaning, Alea

No, she would no longer do that, the conflict was in her heart and she would accept that from now on, just as Roman would have to accept it!Childlike laughter outside the door tore her from her web of thoughts, and she went to see what was going on in the hallway. Roman was just coming up the stairs with Hereke. The friend wanted to pick up Raen. But before Alea could fish for her son, because the knot from his belt was already undone in his back, the two boys had already disappeared at a run. Smiling at the boy's boisterous joy, she turned and followed Roman into the room. Downstairs in the courtyard the morning meal began, which today was more like a midday meal, it was already that late. But even if her stomach gave a clear signal at the thought of eating, Alea wanted to wait until Roman had finished dressing. Today they could afford to dawdle, it was a feast day. She sat down in the bay window and watched her husband quietly as he slipped his jet black dari over his whit

Raen looked from what he thought was childishly giggling mother over to the riders and wished he could be there too. He squinted into the sunlight until he finally saw his father among the crowded, black-robed warriors. He watched him admiringly. The hilt of his sword protruded over his angular shoulders and he sat quietly on his nervous horse, his head held high. His gaze was focused on the edge of the forest in the distance. He wanted to be like his father one day.After all riders and spectators had gathered at the start, it was quiet and the high priest stepped forward.“With this race we thank Hrauna's benevolence according to the traditions of our forefathers! The hooves of the horses and the sweat of the riders should make their earth fertile, so that our great breadwinner may give us a good harvest! Today's winner, of course, deserves the solemn honor of making the first cut with the sickle at the beginning of the harvest moon! ”, The Hyaunset expla

And when they were finally seen again, Reni still held on to the lead. A little behind him was a warrior named Rika and right on her heels was Roman! They turned onto the road that led through the pastures directly to the finish line. Alea, Andra and Raen screamed their hearts out, and as if Kaeisan could hear this, he went to great lengths once more and carried Roman past Rika on her white horse. He was now about a hundred paces from Reni, who was only half a mile to go. Reni glanced over his shoulder at his pursuer and laughed. Suddenly he reined in his foaming horse and waited for Roman, who flew up quickly. Shortly before he caught up with him, however, Reni dashed forward again, Roman now close to his neck. The last few steps it was a head to head race. But at the finish with the eagerly cheering spectators, Reni finally kept the nose in front. And no one except Roman himself knew whether he hadn’t taken his horse back at the last moment to let Reni go on ahead. The crowd

With a need for conversation in his heart, he jumped up and pulled on a long tunic made of thin fabric, which he fastened around his waist with a belt. He tied his hair and left the room to look for his aunt Sama-Karla.He found her sitting in the glow of the oil lamps on the large roof terrace above the west wing, where she had watched the sunset. She often did this alone. Sometimes she cried while doing it. Kanaima had observed this secretly. He hadn't known why then, and it had struck him as strange. But today he understood her sadness, which was very similar to his and which could quickly turn into anger. His aunt was very temperamental and it tormented her deeply to be locked up here in this disgusting festival, as she called the castle.He thought back to their first meeting when he had arrived here in Kalav with his little escort after a long journey through dusty landscapes. Sama-Karla had smiled at him, hugged him warmly and hugged him. A feeling he had only s

Some of those present lowered their gaze, it was mainly the priests, for the warriors continued to pay their last respects to the volunteer by looking at him until his last breath.His body began to sag and that was when he slumped onto his side from his upright position.

He said weakly and gave the floor to the high priest.Gahin stepped forward and spoke in a soft, calm voice: “Liberation will take place in two days! So prepare for it.

Suneka's heartbreak was just as uncurable as Hereke's miserable mood. The whole time the horse boy sat on the sidelines and brooded deeply, even during the big competition he didn't want anyone close by. From a distance he watched Raen and Kosam, and a certain envy of his friend was evident. Hereke no longer understood the world. For the past six months he had had the feeling that Suneka was slowly tilting - they had even kissed at the last harvest festival - but since last night she was suddenly cold as ice.Didn't their kiss mean anything?Hereke hit a willow post with his fist, he was tired of it. He had waited long enough. Probably longer than anyone had ever done for a woman. What about that girl? Even the most ill-tempered horses were easier to handle than them. Maybe he should forget about her, that would be the easiest thing to do. His mother had told him many times that girls who were overly shy are not good for a man. She hadn't meant to accuse Suneka of anyt

I'll help you!" She wanted to get up.“No, stay calm here, I'll do it. I'll be right back. ”“ Should I stay up here alone? ”She asked, half joking.“The pigeons won't hurt you, and otherwise I won't see any other creatures here. I checked it carefully earlier, ”he said, pointing to the ladder with a wink.“Good, but hurry up!”In fact, a little later he was completely out of breath with the mats and blankets. He must have flown up the stairs! Kosam took the mats from him and rolled them out next to the chests, then she spread the blankets and crawled under them. Raen took off his boots, turned off the light, and slipped under the covers with her. They finally fell asleep, snuggled tightly together.The next morning they woke up to the cooing of the pigeons. The first daylight fell through the windows over the platform. Raen and Kosam beamed h

I'm sorry ... um ..." What should he say? That his curiosity had been stronger than her attraction? That would have hurt her badly, and besides, that wasn’t the case either, only he had let himself be too easily distracted again. Perhaps because he was afraid to take further steps. The sheer excitement of kissing and hugging had given him far more happiness than he could have imagined that morning."I ... I ..." he stammered awkwardly.Kosam turned away."Stop, please wait!" He grabbed her arm.She looked at him."I just thought that was great!" Idiot!"What did you think was great?" She asked gruffly. “The dangerous gymnastics on the ladder?”“No. I mean that ... well, the one before that. ”Fool, just say it!Her gaze remained unchanged."Well, the kiss!" He finally managed.She didn't answer, and Raen took all his courage and touched her shoulder. His hand went up to her neck and ch

Raen was in seventh heaven all day. Kosam sat next to him and didn't leave his side. They had a great chat and discovered that they had a lot in common. In doing so, they forgot everything around them. In between, Suneka said goodbye in a strange bad mood and went over to her sister. Hereke initially stayed with Raen and Kosam and merely shrugged his shoulders. He didn't know what she had either. Perhaps she didn't like Kosam, which he didn't understand because he found her very nice. In the end he longed for Suneka and went after her. Her mood seemed to have improved a bit by now, because she laughed out loud when he made a joke and sat down next to her.Time flew by, and soon it was dawn. The big drums and other instruments were set up on the podium in front of the temple, and when clan chief Lako declared the dance to be open to applause, everyone was suddenly on their feet. The mats were swiftly cleared aside, and the first low drum beats vibrated in the full stomachs of

Hello Tor Ban Raen, there you are. You weren't at the morning meal at all. ”“ I was probably too late, ”he replied in monosyllables. 'You're late for anything, Raen, you sheep's head!' he grimly reprimanded himself. But Banskeid Laghat was so nice and already showed me a bit of your chorten. You have a beautiful view from the wall, you can seeall the way to the great mountains. ” Banskeid Laghat was a fully fledged warrior and was allowed to carry his own sword. Raen glanced at the heavy handle protruding from behind Laghat's back. When would he get his sword himself? It just took way too long!"What got over your liver?" Asked Kosam, who had noticed his scowl.'Give it up,' he thought bitterly, 'you're too young. Forget her!' Aloud he said: "We have to go to the temple now, Banskeid Laghat!" But his tone was apparently a little too commanding because Laghat looked at him crookedly.Raen was annoyed. He just turned

“ Was that your own horse earlier? Beautiful animal. ”“ Yes, isn't it! Her name is Jakori and she is very trusting. You can ride her if you want, then we'll take a walk into the forest and I'll show you ... "Raen fell silent. 'I talk too much,' he thought. 'She's definitely not interested in horses.'Kosam looked at him questioningly. “What do you want to show me?”“Oh, just a few stones in the forest, nothing special.”“I'll be happy to accept your offer.”“Yes? Really? Are you interested in that? ”“ Of course. I also like to go on horseback, it's fun. ”Raen smiled blissfully. "I think the day after the race we can definitelyride out together." Raen answered with another dazzling smile from Kosam.Later, when he was in bed, he could hardly sleep. He kept thinking of the girl with the black hair and couldn't wait to be with her again.
