Kure and Igiklav reveal themself from among the thick bushes. Kure is the one who loose his poisoned arrows from his bows. Both of them suddenly unready their weapons and quivers. Iltas sword's and shield's are still at arms.
Splash!
"Huh," Iltas ask. Why did they unequip their weapons. Obviously both of them don't want to surrender.
"Enough of the bravado Iltas. We all in here already know you are the strongest. Our men and companions are already spent. What can we do," Kure sit on the rock.
Igiklav start to do the same. Again both men are doing something unexpected. Kure is relaxed while Igiklav is fearful. The Yenisei torrent become more violent as the waters rises faster.
"To be honest i'm amused. After all the carnage you cause? Better for our sword to do the talking. Don't you think so my enemies," Iltas point his sword to Igiklav.
"Do not be a buffoon, hurl the sword to us or fight with your words right now. See, you value your beloved sword's. We all fight for our loved one and innate pleasures," Kure show his smug faces.
Mumtaz dismount from her horses. She could not believe that her husband is still alive. Her relief did not last for long, she burst in tears once her thoughts and concern for Kure appear.
Kure is fighting for the enemy's side. He will get executed by Iltas, even if he surrender right now.
"Why, i never want you to be a Khan. With you as the Blacksmith that i know is more than enough. The silverware that i wear could not be made by a Yabghu hands. My husband ...," Mumtaz is crying.
"I don't hold grudge against Arpad or you. No sons bear the sins of their father. Be strong," Inzhu hug her from the horse's.
"Aunt convey your feelings. I will accompany you to him. I also want to know why such a tender-hearted man want to kill my father," Nana gives her reassurance.
Nana remembered when Kure had taught her some metallurgy with passion. The silver bracelet that she wears in her arm, is made by him. Mumtaz and Nana walks together. As a wife she want to know what is the reason for doing this.
Why did he betray Iltas. Kure is playing fire because he is also betraying all of the Kyrgyz. Becoming a Khan for the Koryaks.
"See i have many reasons, personal vendetta are not one of them. My father death to conveniently help Zaya is not your fault. Kubrat and Kurtas, who died by my father hands," Kure states his reasons.
"Talk is cheap Kure, your action says otherwise," Iltas did not believe his reasoning. He must be blaming him for the death of Lebedi.
"I'm not like you Iltas. I took the chance to be a Khan and i'm succeding. What about you then? What did son of Ufkeli does. You owe me including the two oaf sons that you have," Kure are mocking Tughluq and Yulbar.
Iltas ignores his cheap provocation. For the past five years, Kure has attempted to set up and assassinate Iltas several times. At one time even spread bad rumor about Iltas among the Wei Lu Clansmen. Kure hoped that they will lynch him. The Buqas and surrounding clan would be easier to subjugated slowly by the Koryaks without Iltas presence.
The Blacksmith words is brushed off by them. The disgraced Kure is more ambitious than ever to prove his worth by becoming a king. Every plot that he planned this far has resulted in many of the conspirators' own deaths.
"Oh my that must be his wife's. What a beauty, she must be mixed with those southerner. When will you bring us there oh Rex?" Igiklav only murmured. He is disinterested to follow Iltas and Kure political dialogue.
Mumtaz is a 31-year-old woman, appearing exactly as Igiklav had imagined. She isbeautiful. Strikingly more so than most women her age. Her light brown hair falls to her shoulders, but it is her eyes that truly set her apart from those around her. It is an unusual eye shape and a vibrant green color that her son, Arpad, inherited from her.
"Husband!" Mumtaz shout.
"Before you talk big about kingdoms, you should care about your family. What type is this King. All his words are mere chaff," Iltas hurls insult.
"Did you know what you did. Killing your own kinsmen, hundreds of Buqas blood are in your hands. Why! You die ...," Mumtaz could no longer bear her sadness.
"Am i so pathetic in you eyes. Here i'm killer of Tatabi. A son of blacksmith who managed to become a King. Not a Khan mind you all but a Rex. You call me a husband yet whose side you are now," Kure explain coldly.
"Look at your own family first you betrayer. What is this Rex anyway, want to play pretend?" Nana utter her dissapointment.
"Nana let us go," Iltas nod.
Iltas stand up as he become disinterested. He have heard enough from Kure. Iltas and Nana go back to see Udmurt condition. The husband and his wife could have their moment together.
"I love you but this is wrong. Always hiding secrets, i follow you from Iran to here. Do you forget 20 years ago ...," Mumtaz ask.
"Hahaha love huh, sometimes it's such a fickle words. I will escort you to the warm land there. This is not your or Arpad fight to begin with. Why did you even bo--," Kure suddenly stand up, he quickly act.
Splash!
Huge flow of water come. The rocks around them began to be submerged by waters. Kure quickly grab his wife.
"Help!" Igiklav is sweeped by the large waves.
Igiklav grabbed the rope, but shortly after, he stopped responding. The shaman has died due to frost shock (hypothermia).
"Let me go! You still do not care about yourself. What about Arpad," Mumtaz shout.
"Shh my wife it's fine. Oh one thing Iltas. Hear this, I hereby declare the establishment of Kingdom of South Koryak! I will prove to you the power of love. Like Epicurus and Gilgamesh," Kure declare the establishment of their kingdom.
"From the very beginning your core is wrong. Pleasure is a brittle foundation for one kingdom. That two men also transgress against God. One is a drunkard fool and the other is ... Epicurus. What man like him is described," Iltas muttered.
Iltas order his hordes to go back and rest in their fort. This move conclude the Battle of Yenisei Banks. Much of the Forest of Remembrance is already burned. Iltas halt his steed's when he sees the place he played as a child has gone. The honeyberries farm turned into smoldered ash.
Kure did almost the same as Iltas. He calm down his wife. Kure plans to attack the Shaman Priestess, Liqqi. Cousin of Tiki to unite the rest of the Koryaks. She hold six clans of Koryaks under her leadership. Their clan are scattered to the north.
