Previously on the Games of cup – In Madrid and Belgrade, Turks and Russians want to make the next step towards Berlin. On the same time in Athens the mood is foul and Don Navarro before returning to Barcelona has a stop to make…
The spirit of Diamantidis
There’s nothing festive in the kingdom of Athens. Darkness has covered the sky. The meister Antonios Fotsis is writing the chronicles of the war in the secret books of OAKA.
Every time he has to write about Duke Diamantidis, there’s a shiver on his spine, remembering their glorious past.
“General Djordjevic, I have visions that don’t let me sleep during the last days”, said the high priest to the lord of the kingdom.
“Tell me Antonios what do you see? Can we be defeated?”
“Even worst my lord. I see Duke Diamantidis every night upon my praying night. His spirit runs restless at Berlin. Hovering around the walls of the city and the corridors of Mercedes Arena. He will not rest until he gets there. He is ready to lead my lord, but I feel that he needs more help from the rest of the army”.
The face of Sale turned into stone. He didn’t reply, staying silent deep in his thoughts. His amazing shot returned to his mind, back in Istanbul in the year 1992 A.C.
Navarro’s visit to the oracle
After the fall of Krasnodar, Barcelona’s army returned to Catalonia. Duke Navaro had an other destination to reach before his return. He had to get to the hill of Kalemegdan and speak to the Oracle in order to know the will of the Gods.
“Knight Juan Carlos, I have been waiting you for days. I know why you are here”, said the Oracle without looking at him.
“Is it time again for the Red and Blue banner to rule again the empire?” He almost doesn’t ask. He is sure that his time has come again and that the throne is his to take back.
“Don’t rush Juan Carlos, you will meet a lot of Russians before getting in the position to seize the throne”.
Navarro couldn’t help back notice two very familiar cups on the back of the cace. He wants to hide them, but the glorious past of the Oracle is more than obvious for those who know where to look.
“I know Juan Carlos that I have taken the throne from you in the past. I did it twice against your kingdom. You ask me to give you what it’s not mine anymore to give and you can’t turn back time. Go back to Barcelona. The war is far from over. The Gods intend to give you many more… a glorious top, that you can’t even imagine”.
