Mith of Pergum and his legion of soldiers march to the Land of Pyramids to assist the Caesarean Republic’s leader who has his back against the water after joining the lands civil war. The Legion of soldiers take refuge in a forest in the Kingdom of Licia twelve days before they reach The Land of Pyramids. They enjoy this time of peace with their last feast until battle. Mith writes a letter with essential information for a very important person. He needs the letter delivered before fighting begins so he entrusts a discouraged soldier with this task, vaguely giving information except that the letter is for the Kingdom of Pontus.
