SaberFate

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

In the serene embrace of the Golden Horn, under a sky that painted the world in hues of twilight, Antonius and Giovanni Junior shared a moment of tranquillity and silence, adrift on a small boat. The contrast between them was striking—Giovanni, shaped by the discipline of military life, held himself with a rigid posture, while Antonius, the seasoned ruler, allowed himself a rare reprieve from the burdens of leadership, adopting a posture of ease.

The quiet waters around them seemed to listen as Antonius broached a subject close to his heart. "So, your mother, Therma, have not responded to my invitations? I have been inviting her over to Constantinople for years."

"I'm afraid not, father." Replied Giovanni. "She said that she loved that island, peaceful, quiet, away from all the squabbles of the world, where she can spend her entire life, serving God, with her heart in peace."
