Hell in the morning

1508a.d on an exploration through the cold harsh weather of Russia King Baruch (this wasn't his real name but they called him this cause he was always blessed) and his army was set out to help and find his allies that were recently attacked by the European army after a distress signal that was carried out by a carrier pigeon was received. The King had to know that this exploration would be a difficult task since he would have to cross into enemy territory. His brother Lord Asad suggested that they go beyond the Volga river. But that in itself would prove to be difficult since there where European armies, and Russian armies, Greek armies in naval warfare. So King Baruch and all of his Lords decided to go by the way of the Ottoman Empire. they sat their many days pondering strategies on saving and returning the King of west Alkebulan. They searched for many months with no hope of finding him. They sent spies into Moscow with no report of political prisoners. It was all hope lost for the King of west Alkebulan. As the convoy was packing their items they were attacked by a group of mercenaries and bandits. Many soldiers survived the attack. But truly heartbreaking news was awaiting back home. As the king falls to his knees clutching his heart-driven through by a poisonous arrow. His brother Lord Asad is angry but stays strong and carries him back home for proper burial.
