Battle of One Eyed's Word: PRELUDE TO RAGNAROK

[RainIsABirb]

---

The rallying banner of Duality, dark and light, stretches high upon the western front of shadow'd plain.

The freshly-anointed commander, exhales smoke, shakes off the nerves she'd acquired in the moments before.
Wings of glorious flame reach up from behind her back, a column of smoke rising to blacken the sky,
before raising her voice before the Bastion of Aphros, and making her statements, her righteous cry.

---

"Death. Dismemberment. Damnation!
Those are the beasts we stare in the eye as we march, my children.
For every blow they deal to us, every soul they attempt to drag down-

Strike! Strike back twice, and save those who are lost. Make oneself
as demon- maim, rip and tear to your heart's content, and slay those
who seek to plunge the world into the fog they themselves are trapped in!

You will Fear! But do not tremble for what comes next. Fear for those you
leave behind, fear for those who are at risk of your own failure. Temper that
quiver in the depths of your very soul into a sonorous chorus of DEFIANCE!"

---

... And her fires scream and rage, for all the hate that warmth embodied.

And so the Bastion takes up its arms and roars; to finally pay back twice for every sin they'd endured!
