Beyond the Euphrates

As the sun set over Babylon, Alexander's weary body lay still on his bed of golden linens. His loyal soldiers stood guard outside, their faces somber and worried. The great king had ruled with an iron fist for years, conquering lands from Greece to India. But now, it seemed, even death itself had come to claim him.
The physicians and healers had done all they could, but Alexander's fever would not break. His eyes, once bright as the stars, had dimmed with fatigue and pain. As he lay there, his mind still racing with thoughts of battle and conquest, I couldn't help but feel a pang of sadness.
I remembered the first time I met him, at the court of Ptolemy in Egypt. He was just a young prince then, full of fire and passion for life. And now... now he lay dying, his kingdom to be divided among his generals like so much spoil. The thought sent a shiver down my spine.
