ISHAK BIN ISHAK

Faruq turned to Ishak bin Ishak. "We will send some of our warriors with the women and children. Shall we agree to send the treasures of our tribes together on this journey? Will you also spare some warriors for your women and children? And perhaps the horses to see them all swiftly on their way."

"Once this is done, then let us go out together and strike down the murderous jackals. The sooner done, the better."

Ishak bin Ishak nodded. "What warriors we can spare will escort our women and children. Our treasures, both living and otherwise, will be well guarded by warriors of both tribes. What horses are not needed by the warriors who stay behind are at the disposal of you and your people. We have been blessed with a large herd. There should be enough horses for all." He bowed to Faruq. "You and I, Faruq, have always been friends. We shall now be as brothers in this time of crisis. My sword and the swords of my tribesmen are yours."

Faruq bowed in return. "My sword and the swords of my tribesmen are yours, as well, brother Ishak. But now we must make haste."

"Yes," agreed Ishak. "We must make haste." There were few formalities as the meeting broke up and the elders hurried to break their camps.
