I ended up in the past and found myself on Rus’ at the most difficult time. It’s the middle of the 12th century—princes fight among themselves, generously seasoning the Motherland-Rus’ with Russian blood. Brother goes against brother for the amusement and delight of foreign enemies. No, it’s not right to tear Rus’ apart from within! Fate didn’t just drop me here for nothing—I need to keep up with my own attire too. And what about the princes? As they say, if they don’t want to, we’ll force them; if they can’t, we’ll teach them. That applies to the steppe people and the Germans as well. And what’s more, Byzantium is living out its fading greatness, giving way to young European predators. Only I’m the junior warrior, and I’m only sixteen years old. Will it succeed to make the Russian Land stronger, so it can stand up against all misfortunes? If you want it and do it, everything will work out.
