The Legends……
……… the first knights of Malta.
Chapter – 1
The Downfall
It is the tale of the first king of an island 'Malta', situated in the middle of the Mediterranean Sea, who was brought to throne in the late 13th century A.D……. …….He was a true legend as he established a strong empire at the time when the tribes of Malta were being destroyed by the invasions of Ottoman invaders.
"What can we do but sit here and wait for our people being killed." the Old man said to the people of the village who had gathered around. He was wearing white clothes and was standing with the support of a carved wooden stick.
The Chief agreed to the Old man. He was wearing clean clothes and a lot of jewellery. He then said "yes we have no option but seeing our empire turning to soil. I don't want more bloodshed and thus I think that we must surrender………… I am resigning from the post of Chief and leave the decision to be taken by the people of our tribe………… please forgive me."
"We agree to you….. We must surrender" people started shouting.
"No……. it is not the right decision, and that I must say ………no matter how big their army is but is weak in front of a united and courageous army no matter how small in size." A man said coming from behind the crowd.
Everyone started murmuring.
"Are you mad? Do you know what you are saying?" a man shouted out of the crowd.
"Yes I do" he answered.
"All stop speaking" the Chief shouted and there was a complete silence.
Then the Chief continued "what is your name"
"Troy……. Your majesty"
"It is easy to speak words like that but it is difficult to accomplish them. And it is impossible to do what you are saying"
"How can we achieve it if we never go for it .There is an example in the history where only 300 men from Sparta won over a 10000 men of Rome."
"But can't you see we are already destroyed and what ever you can't win from that army. Tell…… what can you do to defeat that army?"
"we alone can't defeat then but if all the tribes come up together then we can defeat them. We have a 200 men and if we take 200 men from each of 10 tribes then we have a 2200 men. Then we can make a strategy to defeated them."
Suddenly the crowd shouted and the army men raised their swords with zeal to welcome their new leader.
And from then he was given the name……… 'King Troy the Great'.
