The Ring of Diamonds (9)
[ Far in the south the knight prepares to meet it's destiny. ]
Your armor is thick. Your shield is sturdy. No arrow can do you harm, no weapon can bite your flesh.
Your sword is sharp, your mace is blunt and they all meet the flesh of your foes. A clean death to deliver them into the abyss.
Crush the heathens.
Undo their will.
Obliterate them all.
Embrace your destiny.
Supreme undefeated champion.
Fight as you live. Live as you die.
How many do you need to kill to prove your worth in front of others? How many more to prove it to yourself? When will it end? No man has ever had all the world to his knees. None but your Saviour. He preaches peace and forgiveness. You deliver it in death, even though the cross you wear at your neck is sometimes the greatest of your burdens. You fail him often, but still he endures and forgives.
How to prove a man’s worth? Give him power and see how he uses it. Little was given to you, but great things you have achieved. Alas, one last battle awaits. You know that even Gods are watching.
Bred under open sky by my a man who knew but war, you learned the ways of battle and the will of God. “The Kingdom is on the earth as is in the sky. None can be achieved easily.” You never had an easy life. The old monk taught you well. “From each corner of the sky hangs one angel. From each angel hang ten thousand men. When many men gather, even angels in the sky gather upon them and watch them closely.”
This is a war in heavens! Four angels against sixteen daemons. Indeed the Gods are watching this.
Great strength runs through your veins and great will lies in your chest.
A pounding heart.
Just flesh and blood.
Only a mortal can achieve something greater than what he is.
In death is all our end.
In death is all our salvation!
Have no fear.
“To arms my men! Do not let shadow of fear embrace your souls.
This is a day of glory! God promised us this day.
God wills IT! As faith burns within our souls we shall deliver it!
Raise your swords up high, see the black birds fly! Give them a feast to remember.
Let them hear your rage, let them feel your steel, show no fear.
Attack!“
The carnage was tremendous, as blood drowned the heavens.
Darkness embraced the world.
They say even the mighty God turned his face not to see the slaughter. The sun dimmed, and blackness covered the sky. The heathens fled, your men were scared, but then you saw it. You looked to the sky where the sun had once shined and then you saw the ring of diamonds! It was yours for the taking.
A mighty omen.
The greatest sign.
A destiny that will leave a mark in both this world and the heavens. You lightened up a torch, gathered your men and pushed it forward.
In one hour the sun appeared in his glory. The trumphets sounded and all men shouted!
Destruction.Victory. Rebirth.
A cleansed land.
A mighty victory.
[ The World. All yours for the taking... ]
