War of the Dragons II

1389. A. D. Kosovo
Ground trembles. In the distance,I can hear thunders. But,the air is calm,there is no wind,no birds.. Something huge is about to happen... The nature comes to a halt. For a brief moment,the Sun shines on something in the distance,the eyes could not tell what it is. It looks like something approaches. And I'm anxious,I am able to sense the presence of evil! I am standing still,I can't move or talk. Now I hear thunders even closer,and I am scared.. What is to become of me???
Yes,finally I see. Cavalry. Followed by foot soldiers. In great numbers. As far as my eyes can see,there is a sea of men,armed men,armored men... In that moment,I realize that it was not a thunderstorm I heard.. It was the sound of approaching Ottoman army,marching to the field of battle! The army is led by a Sultan Murat,and his sons and commanders Beyazit Yildirim and Yakub Celebi. So this is the force that destroys everything in it's path.. God help me!
So many banners.. So many warriors.. On the right flank of Ottoman army I can see Beyazit Yildirim gathering his men,shouting orders.. On the left,there is Yakub Celebi with his troops,forming a line.. The strongest troops are at the center,where I can clearly see Murat surrounded with nobles and commanders,preparing for battle.. This is the man feared by all.. He conquered so many lands,so many people. Now he sets his eyes on the great prize,the Europe.. He just have to win,here on this battlefield,and the doors to Europe will be open...
I fall into despair.. Why am I here,on this day? Am I to watch this army and fear it? What is my purpose here?!
Suddenly my heart is joyful. I feel new strength.. I hear war trumpets behind me. I know these trumpets,I recognize there sound. Serbian army has come... Thousands of warriors. Knights,archers,swordsmen.. But yet,some of them are different. Some are shining,I can not explain it! It looks like they have wings.. What is the meaning of this? My eyes must be under a spell! Oh,could it be...? DRAGONS!!!
Czar Lazar is the first dragon I see. He is commander of the Serbian army. He is truly a leader,his mere presence makes soldiers brave and disciplined. They will obey every command.. They will give their lives for him. But he is not alone,other dragons are near by. Toplica Milan,Kosancic Ivan,Vuk Brankovic and Milos Obilic.. Hearts of the men around them are ignited by dragons fire...
Serbian army started to line up. Czar Lazar is at the center,commanding the strongest troops,armored cavalry.. On the right flank Milos Obilic,Kosancic Ivan and Toplica Milan will lead the assault. Left flank is under command of Vlatko Vukovic and Ivanes Horvat,who came to aid with Bosnian and Croatian troops. Vuk Brankovic is to be in the rear,with reserve army...
I am still standing in the field,between two great armies,unable to move. And still without a clue why am I here. Is this just a dream?
Now I see men ready to fight,I see dragons breathing fire.. They are all waiting for their master's command to engage enemy on the other side of the field. And I am in their way.. What is to become of me?!

Zar Vuk nije držao levo krilo sa cirka 5k teške konjice?
po onome sto sam procitao,bio je u rezervi sa 8 hiljada vojnika..
Ne, Vuk je držao levo krilo i potukao je Jakuba.
U tom jurišu je uništeno kompletno desno tursko krilo i Musić je posekao prestolonaslednika a zatim se sjurio na komoru i uništio im sve zalihe.
To se desilo u prvi sat borbe.
Vuk je držao Belo brdo, rudnik srebra i bio jedan od najimućnijih velmoža čak i u staroj Dušanovoj Srbiji. Njegova konjica je trenirana po ugledu na Germansku gde su pored vitezova i konji bili teško oklopljeni.
Letopisci tog vremena jasno govore da je Vuk doneo pobedu Srbskoj vojsci na Kosovu polju.
Murat je pogubljen malo kasnije a paše i turski generali su izvukli Bajazita iz borbe kako bi spasili jedinog preostalog sina sultana.
Knez Lazar je zarobljen predveče u manastirskoj bolnici sa stotinak drugih ranjenika nedaleko od bojnog polja i posečen na mestu.
Njegov sin je ostavio svoje svedočanstvo o tome.
Sledeći put ne čitaj mitološku verziju pravoslavne crkve kojoj je trebala luča u ta teška vremena koja su došla sredinom sledećeg veka.
brate,ima puno verzija o tome sta se desilo.. sa ove vremenske distance,mi ne mozemo da znamo sta je stvarno bilo,posto nismo bili tamo.. 🙂 bar ja za sebe mogu to da kazem.. ono sto sam ja procitao nije mitologija,ali sam ja malo fantazirao u tekstu,tako mi je bilo zanimljivije.. i jos cu da fantaziram.. 🙂 a ti nemoj da budes taklo siguran u sve sto procitas,i da tvrdis da je sve tako bilo.. nemoj da budes iskljuciv za druge mogucnosti!
Tu si potpuno u pravu, samo što su vitezovi reda zmaja koji su preživeli lov na Sultana ostavili svoja žitija u Hilandaru pošto su se zamonašili.
Na moju žalost sve je to rekla kazala jer se ti spisi ne prikazuju..

Btw will the text be historically accurate or you can say it will be questionable xD
it will be accurate in some parts,questionable in other.. 😃 did u like it?
Of course I did, I even played the song I put in my first comment while I was reading it xD I asked you for the historical accuracy because Order of the Dragon was formed after the battle of Kosovo. Not to mention that there are different version of what really happened in battle of Kosovo.
Yesterday,I read about Drachenorden. And I found out that it was created a long before battle of Kosovo.. There are so many informations about it.. I'll send it to you in PM.. And yes,there are so many different versions,and non of us can't know what really happened.. But,we can choose to believe in some of those stories.. 😃
