Epic Battle and Heroic Deeds

Vahrez knew there must be no way back.

He gave an order that shook history.

Burn the ships.

As the flames rose, fear died in the heart

of the army.

Everyone understood that behind them lay only ashes

and ahead, either victory

and ahead, either victory

or death.

An uneven battle began. The army

of Ethiopian elephant riders shook the earth. At the height

of the uproar, Vahrez took up his heavy bow.

He fixed his gaze on the red ruby shining on the forehead

of the proud Ethiopian commander.

Breaths were held

and suddenly,

the whistling of an arrow.

With the fall of that giant, the enemy’s order fell apart.

Yemen

was freed. Vahrez

proved that Iran

is not merely a neighbor, but a refuge

that wherever an oppressed person cries

out, it is there.
