The only unfair fight is the one you lose.

If you want to write something completely unique, you will probably fail or at best write something without redeeming value.

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.

Everyone prepares for battle in his own way.

Die never for a god, Nikodemos who should know better - not your soldiers' god, nor any other.
