Gods colliding, ethos and mythos trying to combine. The Sacred Band caught up in a whirlwind not of any god's devising: he and Niko had wanted to save twenty-three pairs of fated Theban fighters. Now everything feels fated and fighting oversweeps its boundaries of time and place and plane.

What we hold sacred is honor, justice, and glory. You need not swear allegiance to our storm god, to serve with us. Fighters are among us from many lands, with many gods and many beliefs. Believe as you will. What is between a man and his god is theirs alone to say.

It is hard to battle anger, for whatever it wants it pays from the soul.
Janet Morris
Image
This is as 'alone' as I'm likely to get with you - you're not half so fetching as your daughter.
Janet Morris
Image
So well do I love you, I go to my god singing your praises. When I meet my father, I will tell him I fought beside you.
Janet Morris
