Part 11
I have placed a full Chapter I on the site I opened for this story. I hope to post a short description of it soon. I will also do my best to add sections of Chapter II that I have already translated, so that those who start reading now, or who missed a section of a chapter, can get acquainted with a story more easily.
Well, there is a very small part of Section 3 left, so I will start with Section 4 of Chapter II today as well.

Chapter II (Part 11)

      Their first objective was to get to a more important center from where Hazim could approach the information they needed. How he planned to do that was not known to Adila, but she gained a full trust in him in the meantime, and she knew that he would do nothing that he cannot complete. So, she followed him obediently, happy that he's with her, wondering how could she have found Jelil at all if she came here alone.
      For several days they were traveling around the more important centers and Hazim tried to reach through to the information they wanted, but without success. That what he was interested in was too well guarded. That is why he decided to seek help from Burhan's spies that lived in a capital as Ilderins. It was most likely that they will find the information they needed there. It took time to get in contact with Burhans from Ilderin, but finally they came to the capital as the visitors of an Ilderins' genleman Ezher Firuz, who was in fact a Burhan's intelligence agent. Adila continued to improve her knowledge of Ilderinian and used it almost at all times, trying to correct any mistake she was warned about, in her speech, as well as her accent. Soon she started to feel more comfortable when using this language.

      Bariz felt sorry that Jelil was leaving, but it seemed that it would be easier to get information of their mother's whereabouts that way, so he asked Jelil to open his eyes and ears well, hoping to learn anything about her. Jelil promised he will do so. Unfortunately, although he was a part of many different actions, espionage and attack alike, he failed to learn anything new for some time.
      When they were resting in a temporary hideout, about a month after Jelil joined Avam's group, a courier brought a message from Bariz, wishing him a happy 21st birthday. He totally forgot about that. But Bariz didn't. Jelil remembered how Bariz always loved to organize birthday parties for all his brothers. That was an opportunity for him to show his organizing skills, and to present some of his newest literary works. Bariz always loved to write. Some of his works were published when he was only 24 years old, and when he was 27 they offered him to make a movie according to one of his books. Although Jelil was never home at his birthday since he started the Military Academy, Bariz never failed to send him a card. There was only one time he didn't receive a card from Bariz: three days before Evening Night fell, when he became 20. At the Academy, Bariz' cards meant nothing to him, but now, this short message, brought by the courier, meant very much to him. It meant that he still has someone. And he was very glad for it. He rejoiced in his heart that Bariz didn't change. He couldn't believe it possible that a simple message as that could give him such great moral support, especially after his failure to learn anything about their mother.
