Vasiliy:-What does it mean?
Atanarkh:-For example, they build bath-houses for themselves. Their homes consist of the tents made of animal skin. I haven’t seen, but they say that within an hour they can pull down their homes and can build the homes in the distance of hundred kilometers.
Emperor:-But what about the bath-house you said before? Do they carry the bath-houses together with them too?
Atanarkh:-Yes, not depending on where they are going they build the bath-houses in that place.
Cardinal:– I wonder, is the bath-house important for them?
Atanarkh:-I don’t know, but my people say what they saw with their own eyes.
Emperor:-It appears that the Iskits want to oppress you and to drive you out of the territory of the empire.
Atanarkh:-I don’t think as you, ruler! According to the information I go they will come to your territory too.
Emperor:-I don’t understand anything. Why do they come to our territory?
Atanarkh:( behaves as if he is worried) -There is gossiping that they want to return to their forefathers’ lands.
Cardinal Vasiliy:( stands up) -Do you want to say that Konstantinopol is their Historical lands and they want to return to their historical lands?
Atanarkh:-According the information I got, they pretend to do thus. I got such information.
Cardinal:-But from where did they come?
Atanarkh:-They say that they came from the shores of the Caspian Sea and want to return to their lands.
Cardinal:-Aren’t the shores of the Caspian Sea their own motherland?
Atanarkh:-Like us they also consider the shores of the Caspian Sea, Black Sea, Mediterranean Sea to be their historical lands.
Emperor:( stands up again nervously) -They… They… They… Who are they? What is the name ofthese unknown tribes? Why are you afraid of them in this way?
Atanarkh:-Now they are called like the Huns, Your Excellency! Now they call themselves like the Huns.
Emperor:-How do they call themselves?
Atanarkh:-The Huns, Your Majesty! The Huns.
Emperor:( sits on the throne) -What kind of the name is it? Who are they? Who is their leader?
Atanarkh:-They called their first leader as Balamir. At present their leader is Oktar, Your Majesty! According to their words they consider themselves the leader of the lands among the three seas. And they think that to return to their historical land is their right.
Emperor:-The king of Goths! I pay you too much money for to guard my north borders. But you remembered your kinsfolk, you want to relate your tribe with the Iskits and the Huns.
Atanarkh:-Your Majesty! I serve to you. I have been guarding the north borders of the empire of Byzantine for seven years honestly. But now the situation has been changed too much. Once I
could enter the territories of Byzantine with the army. As a result of the understanding between us my army never entered the territory of Byzantine. The people who didn’t enter your territory with the army, now are obliged to enter your
territory like the refugees.
Emperor:( as if relented) -Well, well, Atanarkh! I know that you served the empire of Byzantine honestly. I consider that we can solve with you the problem of the refugees. Well, Vasiliy, what do you think?
Cardinal:-How you advise!
Emperor:-You see, even Vasiliy, is in your side. (he turns and winks at Vasiliy) I have a question to the king of Goths.
Atanarkh:-Please, ruler!
Emperor:-You, Goths, really consider yourselves from the blood of Iskits and the Huns?
Atanarkh:-Your Majesty! According to the legends, we are kinsfolk people. Since the old times we have been together, we lived together. I don’t know, from the reason of which problem our forefathers didn’t continue to live together, and afterwards our forefathers moved from the shores of the Caspian Sea to the West. See, now
we are situated in the north part of your realm.
Emperor Valent :( ironically) -Well, well, if your blood relatives oppress you a bit you are going to be situated not in the north of our realm but inside of our realm. Atanarkh, tell me the truth, really these tribesspread all over the world from the shores of the three seas?
Atanarkh:-My ruler, from hearsay, we were created from the wolves. See, both in us, in Iskits and the Huns the legend of the wolf is the same.
Emperor Valent: (shows himself as if he is nervous) -Well, now it isn’t time to remember your blood relatives. Tell me, what can we do for your people?
Atanarkh:-I have come here for to discuss this problem. Your Majesty, if you allowed me, I would share my opinions with you.
Emperor:-Please, I listen to you.
Atanarkh:-I think that it would be better if you allowed my people enter your territory. You mustn’t agree for the Huns kill us.
Vasiliy:( turns towards emperor) -Your Majesty, if you give me permission, I want to ask aquestion from the king of Goths.
Emperor:-Please, Vasiliy!
Cardinal:-How much is the number of the refugees?
Atanarkh:-200 thousand together with women and children.
Vasiliy:-But what about the number of the fighting men?
Atanarkh:-Our fighting power is about 50 thousand.
Emperor:-50 thousand fighters aren’t few power. Isn’t is, Atanarkh? СКАЧАТЬ
