They have set their blades upon the innocence of Man. Overnight, a massive coniption: in the cities of the west-east, in the lands of the cherry blossoms, a legion luring innocent souls to drink of the forbidden fountains, Diabolism, Xionism, the curses of the fallen hosts. Like many before, they've marched on us for WAR. "But see, the Lord provides: where the virtuous are cast out of this world, He gathers them in the Skies." (Gospel 5:41) We're warning them now, IT WON'T PAY! Sakuragakure, her sanctity crying with the Diabolist evildoer tresspassing our HOLY of HOLIES. The Infernal's vain crude pride- but are we not of Horen, the Chosen Nation? So as Horen and God's People as a collective One, we will overcome, thusly bringing our FREEDOM forthwith! SAKURAGAKURE IS NOT FOR SALE! So 'LO! See that the Lich and his legions have come upon that city, HOLY for that it is of the Tribe of Horen, and see that they have SCATTERED THE PEOPLE OF THE EAST INTO EXILE. We, the tribe of Horen, will brook no iniquity, suffer no tresspass, fore we are the people of the Legion of God, Glory to the LORD of our Host! Are we not the chosen progeny of Horen? As the people of Horen, the Elect of God, we shall prevail, wielding our freedom as our banner! TODAY, SAKURAGAKURE SHALL NOT BE SWAYED! THUS IS THIS ORDER FOUNDED: THE SAKURAGAKURE LIBERATION ARMY OF FREEDOM FIGHTERS Under the captaincy of CAPTAIN-CARDINAL VILLORIK, who is henceforth assigned with the levy of the virtuous militant of the Kingdom of God through His True Faith, by the Church of the Canon, and so it is that the select elite warriors from all lands across Canondom are called to arms: from those among the summoned, whoever counts themselves as a true son of Horen, whoever affirms their love of God Pantokrator, whoever renounces the sin of Iblees and all his curses, here are your summons, by the grace of God!

winterblood 11181 Share Posted May 10, 2024 Rezalisa drew in a breath as she aimed her arrow toward the distant target ahead of herself. A sharp whistle pierced through the air as it was let loose and embedded itself into one of the inner rings of the target. She had come to like that sound her arrows make when they fly, though she wondered if she might still like it after she's tasted battle properly. 5 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
MunaZaldrizoti 8037 Share Posted May 10, 2024 Ioanna Kortrevich ponders over the announcement of this liberating force, thoughts wandering to the recent loss of her uncle Alberic and his efforts to combat the damned. Perhaps this was GOD's further wish for his Cometborn, she thought, to seek those of the Shadow by force and bring them into the Light. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
