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

At the back of the room, Cerberus stood silently, observing the scene with a heavy heart. His weathered face betrayed his concern. The young emperor had not rested properly in months, and Cerberus knew the strain this relentless pace was taking on him. It pained the old warrior to acknowledge his own aging body, unable to wield his axe with the same vigour as he once did. He worried, too, about whether the younger generation of Varangians—those who now stood in his place—could match the skill and ferocity of his old comrades.

Still, as Cerberus watched the emperor and the commanders rally around this looming threat, a faint flicker of hope stirred within him.

For in the eyes of these youthful commanders seated around the table, he saw not fear of the approaching conflict, but a burning eagerness—a hunger to prove themselves on the battlefield.
