I was getting close to the tribe riding fast on my horse,Burak. "What do you think, how long will it take for you to collapse?" I smirked at him and he neighed playfully signaling that he was angry. "Haha ok big guy I'm sorry." I reached there shortly after my playful ride with Burak. I got off the horse and saw that there were not just 1 tribe but there were 2 tribes. I got close to the entrance of the tribe and 2 guards approached me. "Hatun(women) where are you going?" 1 of them asked. He had long hair and big beard and was tall. "Is this the Kayi tribe?" "Yes it is but who are you and where are you from?" "My name is Dua. I want to meet the Cheif of the tribe." They looked at each other for a moment thinking whether they should take me or not then they turned to me and said "Ok i'll take you there." The one who was talking to me first said it and signaled me to follow him. While i was following him i noticed the calm environment of the tribe,everyone was seemingly happy,children playing,women's working,men practicing in the practice area,some children learning to fight it included both girls and boys. Then my eyes landed on a trio. They were joking about something and laughing. First one i saw was of short height brown hair and beard and seemed to have a funny aura. The second one was looking like a bear, like a cuddly big bear but at the same time strong. He was tall and broad and had long shoulder length black and white hair with beard and from afar i could see his cat like grey blue eyes. The last one was tall and muscular in them like really really muscular,he had also black hair and beard with grayish eyes. As i was looking at him i guess he noticed it and our eyes met for a moment. He was looking intensely,to figure out who i was i guess but i looked away. 'God sake,Dua what are you doing looking at everyone so intensely idiot.' I mentally scolded myself and soon I realized that we were standing in front of the Marquee. He whispered something to the alp and he told him to wait outside. He came back shortly and said that we can go inside. As i walked in I noticed how beautiful the Marquee looked from inside. It was way more beautiful and comfortable than the palace. I saw 3 women and 2 men sitting. 1 women that was in her elderly age was sitting in the Beylic chair.I remembered her as Hayme Ana,the Chief of the tribe who Sheikh Arabi told me about. "Where are you from and who are you my dear?" She asked me in the most gentle voice. "My name is Dua and I'm from the (tribe/N) and if you don't mind I want to move to this place as my tribe was burned by the Mongols. They brutally killed everyone. I was able to fled away from them. It's been 3 weeks since this happened and then 1 day i met an elderly man who looked like a saint. His name is-" "Sheikh Ibn'Ul Arabi" A man said finishing my sentence. I looked at him and saw who he was. He was none other than Ertugrul. I remembered him as he once came to the palace to meet the Sultan. "Yes and he told me that this is the tribe that will maybe take me in. Now the decision is yours Beyim." I completed my fake story with fake sadness. Well,the sadness wasn't completely fake i was sad for the whole kicking me out off palace thing but i had to fake my story because if I tell the truth they would never let me stay. The women smiled gently and said "Of course you can stay Kizim(my daughter),if Sheikh Arabi sent you here then there's no doubt I won't let you stay here. You can stay for as long as you want." "Thank you Beyim."
I bowed my head to all of them respectfully and went out of the Marquee.

There was an empty tent in the tribe so hopefully I didn't have to share a tent with any. So here i was all settled and sharpening my sword. I decided to head out for a while. As i walked out I noticed that alps were training intensely in the practice area. I started looking at them and i was so engrossed that I didn't notice someone coming up to me. "You're really lost in the scene in front of you aren't you?" I was a bit startled but i calmly looked to my side and saw a man. He looked somewhat similar to Ertugrul bey so I thought that maybe he's his brother. "Yes i am. Actually I always fought alongside all the alps all the time going on missions and all." He nodded his head. "You must be Ertugrul bey's brother. I don't know your name or something but I can see it by the similarity between your features." He smiled gently and said "Yes you're right I'm his big brother Gundogdu. If you want to be an alp which I can clearly see in your eyes you should talk to Ertugrul for he is the Commander of the both tribes Alp." "I don't know if he'll let me but okay I'll talk to him." And that was the little conversation i had with him.
I decided on whether to talk to him or not when suddenly I bumped into a rock like thing. I looked up saw that it was one of the man of the trio i saw today. I smiled sheepishly and said "Please forgive me kardeş I didn't saw where i was going." "It's ok Hatun but you should watch it and be careful." Just as he said the word Hatun i looked at him sternly and huffed and got up. "Don't call me Hatun,ok? I'm an Alp. I mean i was 1 but that doesn't mean you can call me Hatun." I angrily bumped him and made my way to my tent and quickly went to sleep after dinner.
Turgut's POV:
I was confused to what I saw. A women who doesn't want to be called a Hatun and was an alp. That's new. I walked to our tent and saw Doğan and Bamsi having dinner without me. "You were so hungry that you didn't even wait for me?" I laughed lightly and they smiled and said "Brother you were gone for too long so We decided to eat anyway." I chuckled and sat with them. After dinner i laid down and kept on thinking about her. Who was she,where was she from and most importantly, What was her name? 'Don't call me Hatun,ok? I'm an Alp. I mean i was 1 but that doesn't mean you can call me Hatun.' 'Who are you and why are you on my mind constantly?' I thought and then shook my head getting rid of the girl that was on my mind and started to fall asleep.
