Revision as of 06:51, 25 October 2008

Message sent to: Valgar. Just a little something written on a whim to the Cathayan General, encamped just outside the Arcaean castle of Talex.

Whence do th'doves fly when war calls on their door?

Does she quiver and fly into the sky, in courage being poor,

or does she march with unsteady wings in a shell of steel

professing valour and honour that is not real.

The clarion, the drums, the glorious cries and the shuddering awe,

marred by the steel and the screams of the hate and gore.

Now fight the dove in her shining armour and shining shields agaisnt those tested and true,

'Gainst the pheonix of Arcaea. Then the victory. Shall it be me, or shall it be you?

Aerywyn Haerthorne

Lord Protector of Arcaea
