I was following the orders of your father, the shaman Alayi, to come to the city to search for the Apostle of the Fire God!"
"What?! The Apostle of the Fire God has appeared in Baghdad? Did my father receive a divine oracle?" the platoon leader repeated, his expression a mix of shock and confusion.
