Land of Ghis

HBO Original Series

Do you hear the cry of the crows approaching? Wars are like life, they come and go over time. But sometimes, in the middle of a thunderstorm breaks out. This was what Ghis’s land needed, a bit of a break from too many storms. So life resumed after the Three Nations War, in a new way: Isbern, Elpidie and Al'Ramil walked together now. Trade flourished, each people discovering foodstuffs of which their land deprived them. It was as if the world lit up in its new birth. I saw the market places swell with new stalls, smiles hanging on the lips like so many lights in the hearts of the people. A new era was dawning, much brighter than the previous ones. But do you hear the cry of the crows? Peace is like life, it comes and goes over time. I fear for my country and for its recently acquired balance. What if it was all just a breath in a sentence, a little pause, before it all bursts out again? I hear the crows, me, in the night. They bring bad omen with their black wings, I can tell. The tide is turning, and I fear the peace is too fragile to resist.
