erictafoya 2309 Popular Post Share Posted December 4, 2023 The Victory of Eight Nations [!] The final push at Breakwater Keep –_–_–_ The day was early on the 4th of Sun’s Smile. . . Men loaded their siege engine. . . Spotters saw towering keep in the distant mile. . . On this day - the brigands will meet their brutal ending. _–_–_– Men and women fought, both young and elder. . . Donning steel arms and armor. . . Adria had not known what fate befell her. . . Only that soldiers would meet, in hopes of glory and honor. –_–_–_ Stones and shots crashed against the walls. . . Commander’s barked at their soldiers with courage and pride. . . Concrete crumbled like dust as towers fell - no matter how tall. . . One wonder’s how the enemy felt on the other side. . . _–_–_– Breaches were made into the Valetzian defenses. . . The earth below scorched till unrecognition. . . Eight Nations rallied upon the allied trenches. . . To slay the enemy and take the keep! That was their mission. –_–_–_ And yet, for one moment there was silence. . . A pause in all fellows no matter what creed or nation. . . Some chanted for glory, other’s thirsted for violence. . . One could cut the tension with a blade as they grew in anticipation. _–_–_– Finally! The charge order was given. . . The war cries echoed through the air. . . Allied warriors ran forwards, so brave and so driven. . . Some trudged carefully, some without a single care. –_–_–_ Arrows whistled so quickly, one would think it was song. . . Men charged forth into the fray in a daze of confusion. . . Something was not right, something was wrong! The Army of Eight had overextended themselves like a foolish protrusion. _–_–_– Suddenly - The brigand saw a chance, an opportunity! They left their decimated walls for one action - to fight! The battle was brutal and grueling, yet the eight had found unity! The Veletzians struggled and retreated to the Covenant’s might! –_–_–_ One by one, they fell to our blades. . . The enemy scattered across the bloodied field. . . Thousands littered the grass in the ultimate trade. . . Even the proudest brigands knew when to yield. _–_–_– The siege was one - a decisive victory. . . Triumphant warriors wept, cheered, and were jolly. . . God smiled today on the strongest and most worthy. . . The world now knew of. . .

Gandhi 2719 Share Posted December 4, 2023 "Accurate - cousin, accurate." Alfred Barclay muttered, reading over the piece. He was incredibly exhausted, from the Siege of Breakwater Keep & so only reluctantly took the time to read the piece. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
