The King granted his ever-obedient Palace Slave star the honor of covering one of her nipples, (something the King has "covered" quite a few times!) with the Flag of Kalahari. Even though he was leaving on the Hajj later that day, the King made sure he attended the ceremony filled with meaning.

KAHYA TARA APPLEMOOR WINS THE GREAT CAMEL RACE OF KALAHARI!

We would like to give a more thorough summary of the Camel Race, but all the materials, drawings, scripts for the race mysteriously disappeared from the Chronicles scroll library. A complete investigation has been launched by the incorruptible, beautiful talented dancer Minister Afraa al Abid, and results are expected quickly.


THE KING EMBARKS ON THE HAJJ

Afraa al Abid: Ladies and Gentleman. Free and Slave, our beloved Lion of the Desert Hassan ibn Trrrol. along with his Kahya Tara, 
will go on the dangerous journey to Mecca. Majesty?

Hassan Ibn Trrrol: My dear Kalaharians: Every good Muslim has this big wish, to visit Mecca once in his life time. And today is the moment that your King will start his journey. The last months were very busy and the Grand Vizier and myself, together with Minister Afraa, have worked very hard to make this happen; We explained all to Ego....and he is more wise than I am. (Afraa nods.)

ego Manatiso: Thank you, my lord

Hassan Ibn Trrrol: We created a new military structure....and Colonel Cynthia and Grace are more courageous than I am. (Afraa nods again.)

Peace Furst: May Allah’s blessing light your way, strengthen, your faith and bring joy to your heart as you, praise and server today, tomorrow and always.

Slave star: looks up, thinking no one is more courageous than the King.

Ambassador Yasemin von Engelhardt: listens carefully about the defence plans.

Hassan Ibn Trrrol: And we talked to all slaves to stay absolutely loyal to Kalahari and its ruler.... who is now my dear friend ego Manatiso. I expect from all of you full support to my Grand Vizier, and I will listen to all stories when I return.

Peace Furst: Who will collect rent in your absence, Sire?

Hassan Ibn Trrrol: Peace, the rent can be put in my treasure house. The treasurers will receive it with pleasure and keep it for me.

Hassan Ibn Trrrol: Salaam aleichum to all. May Allah protect you.

Tara Applemoor: smiles as she listens to the King's heartwarming speech

Afraa al Abid: SALAAM ALEICHUM LION OF THE DESERT!

Willow: waves, and already is missing her King.

star: wipes away a tear.

Hassan Ibn Trrrol: slowly turns his camel, sees how Farid covers the beautiful tattoo of star..... and he waves her a kiss. 
Lifts his hand as a farewell greet and waits for Tara.

star: catches the kiss and places it between her breasts

Afraa al Abid: three cheers for the King: HOORA, HOORA, HOORA

Frankenstein Al Aawar: Hajj Mabrouk, my King. Taqabal Allah

Tara Applemoor turns her camel and waves to the citizens, "I will miss all of you... and I look forward to seeing you all again soon"

Habib Sayyid: Salaam King

Willow: byeeeee

Frankenstein Al Aawar: Salaam, Champion!

Tina Wo: Waves bye to our King.

Hassan Ibn Trrrol: The last water before we enter the desert, Tara. Greets his Minister, listens to the sounds of Kalahari one last time, and departs.

Afraa al Abid: And now his watch has ended.

CEREMONY

As a love story always does, the wedding inspired the best of Kalahari, as their friends, and notable guests of the beloved couple, gathered to celebrate in word, song, dance, and festive fun the union of two wonderful beings.

WEDDING INTRODUCTION

King Hassan ibn Trrrol: "Kalaharians and other friends – I welcome you on this joyous day to bind together Sheikh Franco Carfield and Glen Locke in matrimony.  The Sheikh has been a much valued part of our community for a long time and we are pleased to welcome Glen back to our land
after a period of absence."

VOWS

Sheikh Franco Carfield: "I knew from the moment she entered my vision that this lady was to be my true love – and now after several months, she has accepted my proposal and agreed to be my wife.  She enters my family and will play a major part in my life from here on.  Glen, I ask you again in front of the good people of our fine Kingdom, will you become my wife?"

Glen Locke: "Your Majesty, people of the Kalahari – it is with much joy I have returned to this land – and into the house of the Sheikh.  (turns to the Sheikh) It is with great love and pleasure that I accept your proposal and wish to become your wife."

Sheikh Franco Carfield: "It gives me great pleasure to pass you this ring to show that we are wed – as one couple from here forward."

Glen Locke: "I accept your ring and pass to you one for your finger also – although the larger ring – around my neck remains in place – I am your wife and your slave – you are my love, my husband and my Master."

King Hassan ibn Trrrol: "My subjects of the Kalahari, it gives me pleasure to present to you Sheikh Franco Carfield and his wife Glen."

(Sheikh Franco Carfield kisses Glen Locke)

Wild Applause.

At this point, Xade Jurado presented a beautiful loving cup as her wedding gift to the loving couple.

and as the evening came, the lanterns provided by Xade cast a warm glow over the assembled guests.

Glen Locke: "My husband and I would like to thank The King, all the peoples of the Kalahari and in particular Tina and my old friend Afraa for their help in the preparations. Please accept a glass of champagne from Rose."

Afraa al Abid: "I propose a toast of health, happiness and long life not to mention that their union may be blessed with offspring 

to continue the House of Carfield."

Afraa al Abid: "There is food and plenty of drink – please enjoy yourselves, and feel free to join the dancing, and celebrate with the happy couple."

THE PARTY

The assembled guests, with their eyes, ears, and hearts nourished, soon rushed to the beautiful buffet of food, prepared by Princess Nathalie, 
to fill their bellies!

After the food and drink sated one of the desires cherished by Kalaharians, it was time for two other desires:

dancing:

and, well, you know:

(Other pictures censored by the Royal Palace.)

FIREWORKS

The evening ended with a stunning light show and fireworks display 
arranged by Xade.

All is now quiet: the tent has been folded, the food distributed, the musicians have packed up their instruments, the guests have found their way home.

But something lingers, a touch of beauty fills the air, the warm memories of two people whose love brought them together reminds us all that peace and beauty are our destiny, if only we have the courage to choose them.

EPIC DUEL IN KALAHARI!

KING HASSAN DEFEATS BIGBILL 2 - 1!! 

BIGBILL PROMOTED TO LIEUTENANT!

KALAHARI MILITARY DAY!

!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Military ceremonies combine discipline and display. Military duels include that, but also something far deeper, and more savage. The sight of men with deadly weapons competing with each other, swinging these weapons with evil intent, causes the blood of spectators to heat up, answering some of the most profound and primitive motivations human beings can have.

People will come from near and far to view such a spectacle, and Kalaharians are no exception.

And when the duel is between two noted warriors like the young buck Sir BigBill Huckleberry, and the ancient (and sometimes creaking) Lion of the Desert King Hassan ibn Trrrol, the bloodlust of the crowd will know no bounds.

Various formalities took place before the match, and then the fury of the match was unleashed. So many spectators were shocked at the speed and ferocity with which these two warriors engaged. Two very interested spectators who looked on with a mixture of fear and pride were 
Queen Dara Khsan ibn Trrrol and Kahya Tara Applemoor.

They were joined by a large crowd of the Kalahari glitterati and common people.

But then the duel began. with the flashing blades barely visible to the crowd of onlookers, and the dust raised from the quick movements of the battlers, mixed in with the grunts and groans of sword play, thrusts and blocks, creating an amazing spectacle.

The King won the first round, BigBill the second. But the deciding round was won by the King, using the ancient Trrrol Dance Lunge. When Bill saw the King staggering like a drunken soldier, he hesitated for a moment, and that was all it took for the King to land the winning blow with his last blundering lurch.

The valiant warriors showed their respect and affection for each other after the contest, and the King immediately promoted BigBill to the rank of Lieutenant.

And of course, in Kalahari, when the victorious King volunteers to pay for the first round, the citizens of Kalahari duel to see who will be first to drink, to dance, to (ok never mind you know what comes next, right Tina? ahahha) Th party then moved to the Tavern of Trinity where every sort of entertainment was available.

And so it goes in Kalahari--bloodlust mixes with lust. competition and creativity merge, there is triumph and defeat, but a party at the end, always a party.
