Ramallah Palace, night.

It was a beautiful night in Jerusalem, two sisters were in a room speaking to each other and reconciling over their past mistakes. Azra and Destan were chatting in their room.  They both get up and walk towards the balcony and watch the moonlight.

Destan: I'm sorry for betraying you and following Hulagu.

Azra: Don't worry. You know... I thought the Mamluks would torture me. But I was wrong. (tears up) They gave me hope and I'm glad I chose to stay in Zamla. 

The two sister hug and later on go to bed. Meanwhile, Sufyan, the prince of Palestine, was walking by when he laid eyes on Azra.  He smiled seeing Azra's face near the moonlight. He knew he would be happy to get to know her but he was afraid since her father was the fearsome Berke Khan(pronounced Han), the leader of the Motiyans and head of the Attila Clan.

The next day, the Dome of the Rock

It was a beautiful Friday as the call of prayer rang out through Jerusalem. Many people began to run towards the masjid(mosque in English by the way). Everyone began to listen to the Friday lecture while some began to explore the city. The Dome of the Rock was the most beautiful place to visit on a day like this. And as expected all the main courtiers and viziers were there. Even the crown prince, Irfan, was there with his brother Sufyan. All the girls working in the courtyard of the mosque looked at the princes thinking they would notice them. But the princes knew not to just stare and disrespect the girls like that since it was against their morals and their father would never let them marry unless they chose a bride that had knowledge. 

The two made their way into the mosque and sat down in the front row. Luckily the mosque was cleaned and had beautiful lanterns hung from the ceiling.  The beautiful scenery could confuse anyone...but for the residents of Jerusalem, it was a sight to behold.

After a while, the prayer finished and everyone left the mosque and went to the market.
