You trample on our sown fields!

You kill our game!

You hunt our fish!

We'll be careful with your crops!

The rest is common!

How come?

The land is ours!

If it's yours,

where's your state?

You don't even have a ruler!

- But we have a big land!

And we've heard

that you live by war!

How can we know when

you'll turn against us?

If you consider us enemies,

then come out to fight!

Why should we fight?

Listen!

I can do two things!

Stay here or pass through!

The latter is better for you, isn't it?

It would've been best

if you hadn't came at all!

But now, when you

leave our lands,

you'll go to the lands of

other clans and tribes of ours.

We'll pass through there as well!

The land isn't Slavic till its end!

As it's known, it's all Slavic,

if you go towards the sunset.

Here's what! If we start trading,

will you leave us in peace?

Trading, you say?

All right! We have

millet and wheat.

Cloth. We also have

hemp ropes.

We want tanned hides and

iron arrow-tips!

I don't exchange weapons!

- You see, you think only of war!

And we need it for hunting.

- And for ambushes!

If we're trading and something

of yours goes missing on our land,

great misfortune will fall

on our people.

And all Slavs will

be our friends, is that so?

Not at all! Each of our clans

stands for himself.

You'll have to make arrangements

with each clan separately!

Are you the chief here?

I, kanasubigi Asparuh,

ruler of the Bulgars!

We've heard you

come from the sunrise!

All plagues come from there!

The locusts, the blizzards,

the horse people!

We came to tell you that the river,

the fish and everything here is ours!

The land and the water

belong to everyone!

My people spend the winter

in no one's fields.

No one's? Around us are our

richest fishing grounds!

God himself has chosen

these places for us!

When the spring comes, the river

becomes white from all our boats!

How many are you?

Even if I knew,

I wouldn't tell you!

You're planning to enslave our

children and kill the others!

We're here since early winter.

Whom have we done harm?

The winter stops you and that's

why we came to tell you!

Once the weather gets softer,

make yourselves scarce!

Or you'll suffer for it!

With or without your hospitality,

we're leaving this spring!

Until then, let's trade,

if you wish!

We'll give you hides and everything,

if you bring food!

I was looking for honey.

My daughter was ill.

There was no millet for the nursing

mothers in the camp since months.

The livestock was dying out

from hunger.

People were starving, saving some

piece of dried meat for their children.

Slaughtering

the scraggy horses.

The little one wasn't
