DARANGEN:
The Abduction of Princess Lawanen
Translated by
Dr. Nosca Khalid
Column of men in near exhaustion trooped to
the shores, the wounded in tow. They could be seen being ferried to the ships
moored in the harbor.
Minalang having successfully mediated the end
of the war conferred for the last time with the chieftains of the warring
kingdoms.
Ships could be seen leaving the harbor.
Minalang's flagship was the last to sail from port.
Reconstruction immediately ensued. Fortresses
were rebuilt and re-enforced. Patrols in the sea resumed and the border guards
are doubled.
*
With pomp and pageantry, victory celebrations
extended to the peripheries of the empire with GADONGAN as the epicenter of
festivities.
After days of fun and laughter, festivities
were suddenly muted.
"PANOTOLAN if not re-enforced,"
according to the messenger, "will die fighting the allied armies of
Kadaraan sa Ndaw. They are gallantly holding their ground in BAGOMBAYAN A LENA
but it will not be for long unless re-enforcement are dispatched without
delay."
Again, the gong's call for battle boomed throughout
the empire. To rescue MARAMANAY O' SIMBAN, the allied armies
departed in haste sailing the open seas.
