DARANGEN: END OF EPISODE 8

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.
