Post by bunniefuu »

Dreams of heaven

and nightmares of hell

Dreams of heaven

and nightmares of hell

Didn't affect Yahya.

He's using Hassan

Al-Sabbah's method.

He seemed to be with Hassan.

But inside,

Meet me after midnight

So I can tell you

the madman's plan.

A Seljuk soldier is waiting for the

moment to take revenge for his parents

And end the evil of

Hassan Al-Sabbah

But Al-Sabbah was reading

and perceiving All Yahya's plans.

Hassan Al-Sabbah knows

you and deceives you.

And was waiting for the day he

would turn him into one of his believers.

Stick with the one who's

goal is to bring you to heaven.

And when the moment came

the three friends decided to get rid

of the castle's sheikh and his arms.

Hassan was waiting for him

To put him through another test.

A hard test.

Episode 21

"Brothers to Death"

I've never put a guard or doorman

to separate me from the believers.

You must not be believers.

Maybe you entered the

castle with an incomplete faith.

Maybe you entered the

castle with an incomplete faith.

It's not a disgrace.

The disgrace is if your faith

does not complete here.

And maybe you entered the castle

not knowing who is Hassan Al-Sabbah.

Your assumptions painted

him as a brutal k*ller.

Even though I'm a simple

man who stands for justice.

Your ignorance about

Hassan Al-Sabbah is possible.

But it needs to be corrected.

Right now, right here, Yahya.

You will know the poor Hassan Al-Sabbah

who is stirred by nothing but justice.

You will know the poor Hassan Al-Sabbah

who is stirred by nothing but justice.

And he hates nothing but betrayal.

Tell me Yahya,

What is the

punishment for betrayal?

Answer!

Mercy.

The punishment

Is mercy.

And as the one in charge

I sentenced them

to death with mercy.

And mercy, is for them

to be k*lled by their friend.

So, Yahya!

Will you k*ll the

first Soliman or Tayfour?

Choose.

I know the moment is tough.

Both of them are your beloved.

But both are traitors.

But both are traitors.

Who will you k*ll first, Yahya?

It's you that I will k*ll, Sabbah.

The task just got easier.

Loyal Barzak

Made it easy by

leaving only Tayfour.

Made it easy by

leaving only Tayfour.

k*ll him.

Why, Yahya?

Why did you let Zaid hasten

and k*ll him instead of you?

But I was confident

that you would k*ll him.

If it wasn't for your nobility and your

appreciation of friendship, You hesitated.

But hesitation is acceptable.

From the first day

you entered the castle,

I bet you'd be loyal.

Get rid of your friends' bodies,

and throw them off the castle rooftop.

Of course you know

They can't be washed or have

a funeral prayer said over them.

They can't be washed or have

a funeral prayer said over them.

They died thinking

you're a traitor.

May God have mercy

on your parents, Yahya.

You were supposed to die like Naz.

But unfortunately,

Fate has decided

you continue living.

Why?

I don't know.

You still have life.

You still have life.

Why?

What I know about you

is enough to k*ll you.

But, I don't know why

this hasn't happened.

And here we have

no choice but to obey.

I want to die.

Unfortunately,

Life and death here

are not up to you.

It's not your right to die

Or to live,

Unless an order has been given.

The fierce attacks of the Crusaders

have reached the borders of Levant.

We always have priorities, Barzak.

Toppling the corrupt

caliphate comes first.

The Crusaders are

just obvious enemies.

The Seljuks and Abbasids

are the most dangerous,

The Seljuks and Abbasids

are the most dangerous,

And when empowerment occurs, and

the will of God and our master is revealed,

Then there will be no

Crusaders or anyone else.

Because we can defeat

any enemy at any moment

With divine support.

They will persecute us

And convince the people

we are against religion,

That we're fighting the Abbasid

caliphate and ignoring the Crusaders.

Either way, they will lie about us.

What's important is

your heart, Barzak.

Your heart should be

certain you're in the right.

What differs a Crusader and the rulers

of Baghdad and Isfahan who infidel us?

What differs a Crusader and the rulers

of Baghdad and Isfahan who infidel us?

Nothing at all.

The problem is, the

French Crusaders,

Have asked more than once,

To pass by the Alamut castle

peacefully with their troops.

So what?

They pay gold,

They pass.

So that's the only condition?

We charge them a

tribute as per God’s law.

And whoever is

late in their payment,

There's no preventing one of our

fighters k*lling one of their leaders.

After that, they won't delay in

paying the tribute again, I assume.

May God honor our master.

Some people give their

whole lives to find themselves.

And some fears

To pay the price

And lives and dies

without knowing himself.

And Sheikh Ghazali

spent 11 years

until he knew himself.

And who is the true

Ghazali, our master?

Ghazali the jurist, the

knowledgeable teacher

who used to teach in Isfahan?

Or the Ghazali who sits before us

a Sufi and calm?

We are pleased with

God's conditions for us.

The summary of my journey.

I deserted the love of Salma

and Layla in a far palce.

I returned to my first

home accompanied

I spun for them delicate yarn

delicate

But found no fabric for my spinning

I broke my spindle

Omar Khayyam!

Welcome.

The days and nights have passed, and

your place in my heart is still the same.

What have the days

done to you, Omar?

Played with me as a

stick plays with a ball.

Played with me as a

stick plays with a ball.

Okay, we will leave, master.

Oh my son!

Welcome, the honorable scholar

and exquisite poet Omar Khayyam.

Open your chest and

your heart to him.

master, he's a poet

who speaks blasphemy.

I swear, son, once upon a time

in front of great scholars, your Sheikh

Ghazali cleared me of such an accusation.

I cleared him a long time

ago with logic and faith.

But after my journey

no one knows who is higher

in the sight of our Lord.

I was just checking on your return and

to meet this creature full of tenderness.

I was just checking on your return and

to meet this creature full of tenderness.

Because he gives me hope that the

Creator's mercy is greater and supreme.

And that is enough for me.

Excuse me.

Where are you going?

Where does the ball go

when hit with a stick!

To the world, master.

I fihgt it and it fights me.

Pray for me.

May God enlighten your heart

and insight from any darkness.

Sit down, my son, sit down.

In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious,

the Most Merciful, and with His help, we

In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious,

the Most Merciful, and with His help, we

seek assistance, and prayer and peace

be upon the most honorable of messengers.

We start our lesson today.

Here they are!

We repeat our request for

our caravans to pass safely.

And we've informed you before

that passing has a price.

It's clear that they are not

appreciating the situation.

And the price asked is excessive.

And the price asked is excessive.

If we value ourselves properly

the price would be nothing

less than the king's throne.

Okay.

I will deliver the message

as it is, but be aware.

We can pass at any

time without permission.

My soul is a sacrifice to the

holder of the paradise's key.

I want you to focus on your

studies and knowledge more.

Memorize, read, and fast more.

I do that, and I've

read many books.

You need to start reading

selected and specific books.

The time for reading

everything is over.

You should start reading books

that benefit Hassan Al-Sabbah's son.

And prepare yourself for

the position that suits you.

Set a specific time every day.

To sit with Zaid Bin Sayhoon.

To sit with Zaid Bin Sayhoon.

He will teach you and

guide you to useful books.

And another time to

sit with Barzak Amide.

He will teach you other

arts of warfare and so forth.

Understood.

And at the end of each week, you

sit with me to review what you learnt.

And I will tell you poems.

Poems?

I didn't expect you to like poetry!

My son, my friend is Omar Khayyam.

Come on, Barzak.

Know, Hadi, that there is

no life without knowledge.

What is the destiny of death?

And what is paradise?

A man is composed of the

physical and spiritual world.

The physical, the body, is formed of four

humors: yellow, black, blood, and mucus.

At death, the four humors

return to their superior nature.

As for our spiritual part, it purifies by

worshiping and avoiding desires and lusts.

As for our spiritual part, it purifies by

worshiping and avoiding desires and lusts.

And the soul returns to its original

home, which they call paradise.

But regarding the story of

Adam and Eve in paradise.

The story of Adam and

Eve is a symbolic story.

To know that we were

created in the best form.

Then we sinned and repented.

Then we were purified and died.

And we returned to the ideal world.

Which is paradise.

Paradise.

The one I'm most sad about

in this castle is you, Hadi.

Why?

Youth is the age of

adventure and madness.

And you're imprisoned with us here.

It's fate.

And surely someday, I will

have a life outside the castle.

Imagination is the

prisoner's sustenance.

And since I'm a prisoner like you.

I always escape to imagination.

Imagination?

So, will I stay here all my life?

All of us.

The castle is Hassan Al Sabbah's

throne and the grave of his followers.

Yes, but I am his son.

I will be his successor.

So what?

If being a king over the dead

brings you joy, then you are great.

Who are the dead?

All of us.

That's why fantasy

is the escape.

And how do you

escape to fantasy?

No.

No.

That's the secret of

Zayd Bin Sayhoon.

And to tell you a secret, I

must make you pledge an oath.

So the secret remains a secret.

A man's word is a pledge.

And I believe you.

I believe you, Hadi.

And this is the door from which I

escape to the world of fantasy.

Wine?

wine is prohibited religiously!

That's in the mortal world.

But in heaven, there is

wine, virgins, and everything.

By drinking this,

you can enter

the world of fantasy.

Master, wine is prohibited!

Why say wine?

Let's call it

the juice of paradise.

Let's call it

the juice of paradise.

My father would

k*ll me if he finds out

And he'd k*ll you.

Your father denied me

the plant of paradise.

So all I had was to escape

to the juice of paradise.

Here,

We forget Hassan

Al-Sabbah and his castle

And escape with Zayd Bin

Sayhoon to the world of fantasy.

The time has come for

us to end their existence.

We'll start with the closest.

The castle on top of

Isfahan, where Bin Al Hafez is.

The castle was built by your

great father, Malik-Shah, on the hill.

Before it was taken over

by the Esoteric, Bin Al Hafez.

That's why I'll start with it.

We will destroy

one castle after another.

Until we reach their biggest

devil's castle, Bin Al-Sabbah.

God's victory to our Sultan!

God's victory to our Sultan!

Find out where they get food

and drinks from and cut them off,

Until hunger and

thirst dominate them

and our soldiers surround

them with death.

Yes, my lord!

I will be with you in the siege.

We received from our sources

that the arrogant Seljuk Sultan

has decided to attack Bin

Al Hafez's castle near Isfahan,

He's also burnt the crops

that used to supply them

He's also burnt the crops

that used to supply them

and starved them.

Here, we will act

with all our might, Barzak.

Defending the believers everywhere

is what we will be asked

about before our God and our Lord.

And I myself

will choose those who

will rescue our brothers.

Increase the preaching day

and night among young people.

Open the books,

read, and teach them

that our belief is the truth

and the path of true guidance.

Now please leave me alone, it's time for

me to talk to the heavens.

I asked her for a kiss

and I got one.

After steadfast refusal

and sheer exhaustion.

I said, oh tormentor of mine

- grant me another one.

- My lord Al-Hadi!

Why do you look so exhausted?

Because I was just

in the world of fantasy

Every time, you pass by

Zaid bin sayhoon and not me.

Every time, you pass by

Zaid bin sayhoon and not me.

Why?

Because he has the juice of paradise

that takes me to the world of fantasy.

But you are always scowling, gruff

and never take me to paradise.

- Come with me.

- No, leave me. I'm fine.

- Come with me.

- Leave me!

Stay away from me!

Stay away from me!

Have you lost your mind!

You throw water on Al-Hadi

bin Hassan Al-Sabbah!

You throw water on Al-Hadi

bin Hassan Al-Sabbah!

If he saw you like this,

he wouldn't throw water on him

- He'd carry out punishment.

- Why? What did I do?

Because you're drunk

He wouldn't

spare you the lashes.

He won't lash his son!

Hassan Al-Sabbah k*lled his son

Your brother!

I'm not drunk! You're a liar.

I'm a liar.

But I still won't

let you be a drunk.

I'm not drunk!

So, let's go to our

lord and he will judge.

No please don't do that.

I don't promise!

But I promise you, I

will defend you in every way.

No, don't tell him.

Zaid did this!

Yes.

I promised him to keep it a secret.

Go back to your bed.

- You won't tell my father?

- Go back to your bed!

Drunk?

My son, Al-Hadi, is drunk?

Zaid bin Sayhoon intoxicated him?

Yes, my lord.

Keep Zaid in the dark about this.

But please don't

be harsh on Al-Hadi.

And why the harshness?

Harshness is always

the last resort.

I sent him to Zaid to teach

him knowledge, and he gave him wine.

How then can I punish Al-Hadi?

How then can I punish Al-Hadi?

And what about Zaid bin Sayhoon?

Let him enjoy and play in

the gardens of Hassan Al-Sabbah's tests.

And prepare for

the journey of jihad

with Yahya.

Excuse me, my lord.

Execute the order.

Commander Yahya!

May I ask a question?

As you are one of

the oldest mujahideen in the castle.

We miss the jihad.

When do the chosen ones go for jihad?

When our lord permits it

Do we enjoy before

going out for jihad

Or after we

enter the castle directly?

Are you longing for

jihad or for enjoyment?

We just took

a long time training

Believers in Alamut Castle do not ask.

Believers in Alamut Castle do not ask.

Did you take a long

time when you entered the castle?

I apologize, our Commander

Yahya, my friend didn't mean.

There are no friends here.

Believers here surrender

their souls

and be fully prepared

for our lord's permission.

Continue what you were doing.

I did not see you last week.

I was busy with my lessons.

Nothing should be

more important than me.

Sure!

What lessons kept you

away from your father?

A lot!

Jurisprudence,

Prophetic traditions,

sharia, and spiritual sciences.

Spiritual sciences!

Spiritual sciences!

Beautiful!

Teach me then.

You know everything.

Who said?

We all learn.

First, come give your dad a hug

because he missed you a lot.

Your smell is peculiar.

If you weren't my son, I would

say your smell is like wine.

Wine!

God forbid!

I can't imagine that

you know what wine is

not drinking it!

If a man loses

faith, he loses his honor.

Strong faith

creates a strong man

and faith needs intelligence,

wisdom, and caution with people.

All people, even myself.

Be careful from me.

You should always try to

be faithful, strong, and honorable.

You should always try to

be faithful, strong, and honorable.

Excuse me, my master!

Take it easy!

Hassan Al-Sabbah is on the way to us.

News about the Seljuk army

said it's huge.

The supplies of food and drink that are

between us and Isfahan have been cut off.

There are still

some secret passages

from which we can get some supplies

and there's storage.

regardless the supplies

there's faith, my lord.

Faith!

Yes.

Yes.

But faith

needs good planning.

Listen!

I want that as soon

as the Seljuk army arrives

the messages between

us do not get cut off.

Constantly

sent requests, messages, and bargains.

As long as messages are increased

the siege period

will be prolong.

And this leads

to alternatives and solutions.

When God grants us victory

I want the fate of

Bin Al-Hafez to be terrifying

to shake the owner

of the Alamut Castle.

This vile keeps sending

messages and requests.

What kind of requests?

A promise to surrender.

If we agree to

a truce for a week.

A truce!

- There will be no truce.

- My lord!

It's just a truce!

This is after your approval of course.

If we could defeat them

and achieve withdrawal without w*r

and without any of

our soldiers getting hurt

- it would be better.

- I want you to beware of his deception.

And his ambiguous words.

And if there is a trick,

And if there is a trick,

I don’t mind if we lose

any number of soldiers.

To reclaim the castle.

Sure, my lord!

But this should be the last resort.

We are the strongest

and waiting is not in our favor.

So, we'll wait.

What if my patience runs out?

Before your patience runs out

The body of Bin Al-Hafez

will be stuffed with straw

and be burnt in the

largest squares of Isfahan.

And his ashes will be

fed to every follower of his

before he's k*lled.

before he's k*lled.

I have chosen you

for a different mission, Yahya

You're a knight!

And a knight does not

execute an ordinary mission,

but is sent on a mission

that fits his knighthood.

You'll be at the head of a group of the

guerrillas to save our faithful brothers

You'll be at the head of a group of the

guerrillas to save our faithful brothers

In Bin Al-Hafez's castle.

If you return victorious,

you'll have a great honor.

And if you get martyred,

you'll have a greater honor.

Sure, my master!.

You will have ten believers with you

under the leadership

of our beloved,

Zaid bin sayhoon.

Sure, my master!

Excuse me, my master, Zaid.

Why are you doing this?

You send me on a mission with

someone whom I have to take revenge?

He won't touch a hair on your head.

Want to get rid of me?

I am bigger than to plan

a trick to k*ll you, Zaid.

Okay, what's your goal?

None of your business.

Either you follow the order

or declare your

disobedience to me now.

And if I refused?

And if I refused?

That's your right.

I obey you, my master.
