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

Concurrently, another envoy, steered by the seasoned wisdom of Apostolos in his inaugural diplomatic action, navigated the contrasting route across the Bosporus. His caravan, a veritable treasure trove comprising merchants, gold, jewels, and the finest silks, represented an olive branch extended to the Ottoman elite.

Unlike Abdullah's journey, facilitated by a bridge-builder, Apostolos had to rely solely on his title, the flag of peace, and a message to Hamza Bey declaring his peaceful intentions. This made Apostolos' voyage across the Bosporus to Prusa significantly more perilous and unpredictable than Abdullah's diplomatic venture to Venice.

Yet, Apostolos remained undisturbed, his ever-present casual smile betraying none of the risks associated with his mission.
