1453, a year that marked the end of an era
With one city's fall, a shift from Medieval to Modern
Constantinople, a name etched in time
For a thousand years, stood strong and sublime

Against foes that dreamed to take her down
She persisted, unbroken, a true crown
But tonight, everything changes
Guns fired, women weep, men yell in ranges

Praying to God for a savior's grace
To rescue their city, to restore its place
In history's twist, God answered their plea
Sending a new emperor, the one they'd need

Antonius, born of the seas
To lead the Romans, a new destiny
To reach another pinnacle of might
And end the city's terrible plight

1453, a year that will forever divide
Medieval and Modern, with a fallen city as the divide

1453: Revival of Byzantium

The Grand Vizier is graciously having his breakfast while testing his twenty plus years old son, Candarli Ibrahim, reading out and memorizing a chapter of the Quran when the eunuch broke the atmosphere hurrying in panting up and down, totally unlike the usual standard set for a servant of the imperial house.

The Grand Vizier Candarli Halil Pasha gave this little eunuch a disgruntled look as he wiped his mouth frowning with a piece of dampened perfumed hanker chief, leaned back on the cushion and ordered. "After this go take ten…no, fifteen slashes of whips from your discipline master, now, what is the rush?"

The little Eunuch gulped and passed this box containing the letter to the Grand Vizier's Janissary guard and replied with a trembling voice. "E…Emergency military message, from Rumelia, honourable Grand Vizier."

"Read." The Grand Vizier ordered the Kâtib scribe.
