   Part 14
Either no one has an idea why number 13 was chosen to be unlucky, or you didn't have time to comment my yesterday's post. In any case, I guess I'll stay in ignorance concerning this one. I myself believe in none of the popular "bad luck charms", and I don't see why I should.
Anyway, the thirteenth part has been posted and now it's time for the fourteenth one.

Chapter I /Section 3/ (Part 14)

      - Welcome to my humble abode! It’s not our childhood home, but I have everything I need.
      At that moment the room was entered by a beautiful young woman, about 25 years of age, with thick black hair. With her big dark eyes, she looked curiously, first at Jelil, and then at Bariz. Bariz smiled.
      - Jelil, meet my wife Ferhia.
      Ferhia looked at Jelil with a surprise.
      - But, didn’t you say that your brothers didn’t survive?
      - I did indeed think so. However, there is no doubt. This is Jelil. He’s alive. And now I hope he’ll tell us how he survived.
      Jelil was somewhat confused.
      Bariz got married? In a situation like this?
      - Are you tired, Jelil? Do you want to sit down? I will bring something for both of you to recover your strength.
      Ferhia smiled at Jelil, gave a quick kiss to Bariz and went out.
      - She is wonderful, isn’t she?
      - Bariz…
      - You finally decided to speak. I was beginning to worry. You haven’t spoken a word since we met.
      - I was little confused.
      - YOU were confused!? The last news I had heard was that Evening Light has fallen and that you died defending it, and then I saw you alive and well in one of our camps.
      - Many things happened.
      - Tell me.
      - I am not sure if I’ll know how. I am confused myself. Why don’t you first tell me what happened to our parents and our brothers.
      Bariz became serious.
      - I have nothing good to tell. You know that, at the time of the first breach, I was in Artist, where they were making a movie according to one of my books. When Ilderins entered our terrain, our army was sent all around to stop the breach. Alemdar’s unit came and made a base in Artist. You know it lays at the crossways. It was an obvious target of the attackers. I decided to stay in the city. It didn’t seem that the danger was so great then. Nobody expected something like that. Ilderins’ attack systems were different than before, and our defense systems were simply falling. When it became clear that our army cannot stop the attackers, a mass retreat begun. The survivors gave a backup while the citizens were brought out of the city. I didn’t want to leave before seeing what happened to Alemdar. I am sorry, Jelil… I carried him out of the battlefield on these arms.
      There was no doubt, then. Alemdar was dead. He was the oldest of four general Shihab’s children. At the time of his death, he was 28 years old. He dreamt about being a great army leader like their father. He was an extraordinary student of the Military Academy and a pride of their city. Jelil saw his ideal in him. He admired his skill, calmness and courage; and he wanted to reach his abilities. Bariz knew this; and that is why it was difficult for him to inform Jelil that there was no hope Alemdar survived. Jelil sighed.
      - What about the others?
      Bariz just wanted to answer, when Ferhia entered, followed by Elefif. After saying that he was glad to see Jelil managed so well, he asked Bariz to help with warehousing, because the young man from another group, who usually took care of these things, recently lost his life in an action that went wrong.
      - I am sorry. I will get to work right away. Demir, you were there when Night fell. I just wanted to tell Jelil about that. You’ll do that better then me, anyway. Please, tell him.
