After Leonardo da Vinci
The Battle is Over

The battle is over, and the enemy has fled, leaving the city in ruins. Alma's heart pounded as she spotted her companion sitting amidst the destruction. She hurried over to him. Kneeling by his side, she gently wrapped her arm around his shoulder.
"Thank the stars you're alive," she whispered, her voice filled with both exhaustion and concern.
His eyes fluttered open, and a weak smile tugged at the corners of his lips. "Alma," he rasped, pain evident in his voice. "I...I thought I wouldn't make it."
Tears welled up in Alma's eyes as she carefully examined his injuries. Blood stained his clothes, and his once-strong frame now seemed fragile and haggard. But she refused to let despair overtake her.
With steady hands, Alma retrieved a cloth and a small vial of salve from her bag. She dampened the cloth with clean water from her canteen and began to gently cleanse the wounds on his battered body. Each touch was gentle, yet purposeful, as she tried to alleviate his pain.
As she worked on tending his wounds, Alma's mind raced with thoughts of the battles they had fought together, the losses they had endured, and the glimmer of hope that had guided them through the darkest of times. The city may be in ruins, but as long as they had each other, they had the strength to rebuild and heal.
Leonardo da Vinci, (born April 15, 1452, Anchiano, near Vinci, Republic of Florence — died May 2, 1519, Cloux, France), Italian painter, draftsman, sculptor, architect, and engineer whose genius, perhaps more than that of any other figure, epitomized the Renaissance humanist ideal. His Last Supper (1495–98) and Mona Lisa (c. 1503–19) are among the most widely popular and influential paintings of the Renaissance. His notebooks reveal a spirit of scientific inquiry and a mechanical inventiveness that were centuries ahead of their time.
The unique fame that Leonardo enjoyed in his lifetime and that, filtered by historical criticism, has remained undimmed to the present day rests largely on his unlimited desire for knowledge, which guided all his thinking and behaviour. An artist by disposition and endowment, he considered his eyes to be his main avenue to knowledge; to Leonardo, sight was man’s highest sense because it alone conveyed the facts of experience immediately, correctly, and with certainty. Hence, every phenomenon perceived became an object of knowledge, and knowing how to see became the great theme of his studies. He applied his creativity to every realm in which graphic representation is used: he was a painter, sculptor, architect, and engineer. But he went even beyond that. He used his superb intellect, unusual powers of observation, and mastery of the art of drawing to study nature itself, a line of inquiry that allowed his dual pursuits of art and science to flourish.

Alma was by far the most distinguished of women because of her many superior qualities, especially because of the bravery she demonstrated in defense of her people.
Islam elevated the status of women, treating them on an equal footing with a man. Women had a newfound independent identity, in the physical and spiritual spheres.
Islamic history is full of warrior women who fiercely fought for what they believed in, defended what they cherished, and defied all expectations and became legends.
The Warrior Woman is an ancient archetype that is not well known because the stories have been both forgotten and suppressed. Mythology is full of warrior goddesses.
Traditionally, the Bedouin were among the most dangerous of desert tribes, fighting among themselves when outsiders weren’t available. Constantly on the move to find new pastures for their livestock, they learned to live with the minimum of possessions and little external support in the harshest of lands. Loyalty to tribe and family was all that helped a warrior survive. More on Desert Warriors
