ACT IV

SCENE 1

The Mongol Camp. Kublai's tent.

The tent of the Khan was usually a place that much discussion could be heard from. Instead it was a place filled with much silence. Kublai was alone, pondering what the coming conflict would bring. Burma's empire was crumbling but if this conflict was what would bring Burma back from the brink or crush it one and for all.

The King of Burma, Narathihapate was not suited to warfare. Kuchlug on the other hand was being a Mongol all. How much of a challenge was going to be depended on who would be doing most of the leading of the warriors.

Narathihapate did not know the Mongol ways but Kuchlug did. It seemed that Kuchlug would be the more dangerous of the two.

This would be an interesting battle that Kuchlug would remember for the rest of his life. He looked forward to it.
