So we went to her cavern, it was worth a visit just to see her cave, skulls decorate it's interior, some of the skulls are from animals and others are from people. Also various dried herbs hang in bunches from the top of the cave, the herbs gave off a pungent odour that lingered on your clothes for days. She was bade by royal decree to attend the celebration feast, every one desired to know what else she could tell us. So once again we stood at her door, Gertrude for that was her name bade us enter, she was glad to attend the feast. If we only knew what she had forseen today, she could not even whisper of it to another soul. For she knew it would mean her own death, if she was to confide in another. It was  the death of our fearless leader, Ghenghis Khan that she had seen, and it was in the near future. We all congregated around the fire, teopting smells wafted over to where we are seated , enjoying large mugs of ale. Before long everything was ready, there are many dishes heavily laden with delicious fare, such as stuffed pork, venison with sweet and bitter herbs, here we sit almost breathless, waiting to hear what wisdom would fall from the lips of  our Gertrude.

   Here lies Ghenghis Khan

Respected and feared  Ruler of Siberia.

He died today in the heat of battle, he recieved a fatal sword blow, when he fell to the ground he was already dead.

We his people are left bewildered, for we believed him to be invincible. We thought he was God.
