 `` Sire?'' 
 Emperor Wang Kon raised his head and focused his sight on the aged stocky adviser. Did he dose off again? Four hours of sleep does n't appear to cut it anymore. Not good 
 
 `` We've just got word from Cuzco, the Incas, they...'' 
 `` They declared war.'' It was just a matter of time, he suspected the pompous boasts and threats from Huayna Capac to be more than hot air. 
 `` Ah, yes they are starting to mobilize their forces towards the northern provinces.'' 
 `` How many troops do we have stationed in Pyongyang and Wonsan?'' 
 `` Three battalions each, Your Grace.'' 
 
 They will hold for a while, the emperor imagined. The main Korean force, however, were still engaged in grueling skirmishes across the island nation of Mongolia. Kublai Khan's troops were under-equipped and used outdated weaponry, but the were numerous, and the Mongolian sovereign did not shy from throwing piles of them at Korean riflemen squads. 
 
 The emperor stood up. His joints cracked and creaked, God he felt old. `` The Mongolians resolved to a war of attrition it seems, send a letter to Kublai, he is cruel and shallow, but not foolish. We will offer peace and he will accept it.'' After he drains our treasuries for reparations, of course. 
 
 He started walking across the great imperial hall. The adviser joined his brisk pace, still holding notes, maps and letters in his small stubby hands. `` We have other news sire, the Indians, they have sworn fealty to the Inca empire.'' 
 
 `` Of course they have,'' Wan Kon murmured increasing his pace, `` what else would a lick-spittle like Gandhi do?'' The vile jealous Indians, always plotting and scheming. They have soldiers, however, and tanks and bombers and missiles, that would rain on Korean cities if Wang failed his duty. 
 
 `` See if you can get word from the Mayans and Greeks, they have no fondness for the Incas and I'll be damned if they are willing to forsake trade relations with us, no matter how intimidating Huayna's legions might seem.'' 
 
 `` Yes Your Grace.'' The adviser lowered his head and promptly removed his presence. 
 The emperor raised his head to the magnificent tapestries scattered across the great palace walls. They told stories of ancient glory and conquest. Of song and play. And, most importantly, the great victory in the war against the mighty Egyptian kings. He felt so small, so insignificant, so fearful.
