After weeks of traveling, Gerard and Waldemar finally disembarked in a small port in Bengazi, they were finally "home". It was like a paradise.
In these weeks Gerard found that his Sultan, Alar I the Mighty made him Vizier. He also meet a lady. It was the most beautiful women he saw in his life, and only looking at her he seen that her eyes were full of inteligence; she was the perfect women.
The brothers were welcomed by the locals. Even most of them were poor, they were well cared. An old man aproached Gerard and started to talk in an impecable latin; Gerard knew latin too, as he was a nobleman.
-Greetings Grand Vizier, I am Ali bin Kabir. I was instructed by our Sultan to wait you here and welcome you.... you seem to be a little shocked by my latin, am I right?
-Thank you Ali for your warm welcome... and yes, I am a little shocked, I was not expecting to hear a muslim talking in latin, and yours is almost perfect.I'm sorry I need tocut this short, but I need to be at the royal palace very soon... I hope you are here to guide me aswell.
-Of course grand Vizier. Also, this must be your brother. And, if you want to arrive at the palace as soon as posible, we should leave imediatly... *Ali bin Kabir said a few words in a strange language to the locals*. Excuse me, but I gave a few orders... I've asked the locals to give us fresh water, because we will need it.
-Yes Ali, I'm his brother. My name is Waldemar.Are here many persons that speak latin?
-No. You will have to learn our language, especialy you grand Vizier, as you will help the Sultan ruling the Caliphate.
-Understood. We are ready to go, so we should leave. We can talk on the road to, can't we?
-Good. I have 4 fresh horses. Now, lets move. Oh, and I forgot to tell you that I'm a little to old to ride fast like you will do, so please, wait for me; also there are bandits on the roads.
-You wont have why to fear with us Ali... even we are young, we have experience. now, lets move.
Immediatly after they replenished their provisions, they left the port.
