Reverse Self-Insert Fate stays night: The Throne of Heroes unknown threw a bunch of Heroic Spirit into Earth, Now the servants found themselves in a different place in Earth and would try to survive in the modern society. The World would be dead by them.

Discussed my fanfiction 'The Babysitter of Heroes': So I make a forum of my story so we can talk about the story and discuss more private on how we improve it while at the same time we create small example scenes to see how it would fit into it. Keep in mind that I am not much of a writer or know much how to write a character's personality really well.

Favorite/Made up quotes and speeches that I found somewhere in the Intenet:

Do you think this day comes soon, some sort of end of days? A religious ideal surely. That all days end in light of evils dawning... A biblical revelation perhaps, That mankind will suddenly and swiftly disappear, or perhaps be returned? Such Philosophy in these studies in these ideas... Were we even here to begin with?

"You will be home before the leaves fall from the trees."— Kaiser Wilhelm II to German soldiers, 1914

"Just because you have been beaten by Wellington, you think he is a good general. I tell you that Wellington is a bad general, the English are bad troops and this affair is no more than eating breakfast."— Napoleon Bonaparte to one of his marshals just before the Battle of Waterloo

The belief in the possibility of a short decisive war appears to be one of the most ancient and dangerous of human illusions.— Robert Wilson Lynd

All we have to do is kick in the door, and the whole rotten structure will come crashing down.— Adolf Hitler, shortly before the commencement of Operation Barbarossa, the invasion of the Soviet Union.

"We've won just enough territory to bury our dead."— Red Army joke upon the conclusion of the Winter War, which was predicted to last two weeks.

In a universe where a single life is as insignificant as a grain of sand in an endless desert, it's heartwarming to show one soldier ready to make peace with dying for the Imperium.

No grain of sand is truly insignificant. Without every grain of sand, the desert wouldn't be endless.

No one watches the heroes, the closest to that role would be their sidekicks, partners etc... But if they work alone, they are alone and the only ones to watch them then, are they themselves.

Who watches the heroes? Well that's easy. Everyone. Everyone watches them looking for refuge, a bastion to hide behind. Children watch them with a innocent eye, they see the deeds, the triumphs, the glory. But what they don't see is what's behind the mask, the pain that drove them to the point of breaking. Why those people wake up to stare death in the face is a question that those children will never ask. and they'll never answer. they burden themselves with the conflict, the disaster, the horrors that keep them up at night so that others don't have to. So who watches the heroes isn't the question that should be asked it's who watches over the heroes? Who will keep them safe when they fall? who will be a shield to those who have been a shield for countless others? and by doing so become heroes themselves as it takes only one push to go from bystander to defender, sheep to sheepdog, protecting those who can't from the pack of wolves who would devour us all. So who watches over the heroes? Who guards the guardians? Will it be you?

"You know, a long time ago I did the stuff you do now. Maybe not as crazy, but still. I was a hero, back in my day. Now, I just stand at the sidelines watching and waiting. For what? For the day when the heroes need some backup. Just 'cause I'm not out there doesn't mean I won't be when people need me."

True strength doesn’t come from having power or is it by dominating your foes its having the courage to stand in the face of diversity an to fight back . That is true strength , that is what it means to be a hero.

Who watches the heroes? Us. We watched the heroes. We learned from the heroes. We made the heroes. And for some moments of our lives, we can be those heroes.

There are people who love heroes and the heroes love them back... The heroes watch over them, but who watches over the heroes? The answer is what you make it. You can become a hero even for a hero.

"There's this person... they travel... they watch over the heroes... they defend worlds and planets and time and space... they're the keepers of sanity, and the bringer of darkness... but ultimately, yes... ultimately... they never fail to be kind." "And this person! Do they have a name?! Lieutenant? General? Admiral?" "No... they're not a soldier... they're... well... I guess you could say... she's a Doctor."

I believe that if one always looked at the skies, one would end up with wings. -Gustave Flaubert

The future is not far. we are about to engage a revolution that nothing like this has been ever seen. people who give up on humanity are the ones that become disappointments. we are humans, our intelligence is something no other creature can even grasp. we are the pinical of existence and evolution. there is an endless amount of mystery waiting to be discovered by us humans. it's amazing to see that we have INFINITE opportunities and possibilities. our civilization will spread across the entire universe and even multiverses if that theory is true. the age of discover, and an accelerating revolution is about to began.

Each nights I dream of an united Humanity, that would have abandoned wars and instead took its next step into exploration.. I dream of an human kind that would start looking up to the stars.. And beyond.. I dream of an united humanity, one in which every man, every woman, would be different and special all while instinctively prptecting one another.. I dream of our kind, that would have completely abandonned the negatives things about our specie, and fully embraced our positives sides.. I want this dream to become reality, I don't want to die before such a thing happen

You and me both. And everyone else we can get to join us on our bold adventure into the future. It's so close, sometimes I think we're almost there. Other times, it seems like we're peering into the abyss of human stupidity. So stay in the game...tell everyone you know or care about that it's worth making a better tomorrow.

Every minute of my life is spent manifesting that dream. To focus on anything else is a mental trap. To create anything that is not in alignment with this is to work against it. It already exists. We just have to ground it here.

Indeed, we all have the inner desire for that but us humans are just too evil... war after war, hatred and unrest... But there is one hope that still stands undefeated and will return one day to fulfill and establish a world characterized by peace and harmony. Love will overtake, weapons will rust, brokenness repaired, evil defeated and peace will conquer. That hope is the day of Jesus' return where He will establish His literal Kingdom on Earth. My friend, your dreams will most definitely be fulfilled. Seek Him and you will be assured to see that peaceful world we all dreamed of.

A dream could be more powerful than destiny.

"Our lives are as great as the stars, and our fates are very similar in the same regard. We intertwine, we rise, we dazzle—but ultimately we fall. There's no need to mourn a fallen soul, just as there's no need to mourn a falling star, for even in death life thrives on. The memories of our comrades live on forever inside of us. We are now the moon that harbors them."

The sad thing of all this, is that there will never truly be peace, for when one wishes for peace, they must prepare for war, for conflict will always be present, no matter where you may go and war would never change

This is my dream as well. I know we can work together to achieve this. Our dreams are within reach, but we must trust and love each other to reach far enough to grasp them. We are humans. We are earthlings. We are energy. We are the universe. We are love.

Darkness exists in absence of light.

Our fates are written long before our lives begin. Think of this not as a hindrance but a reason to aspire to the heights you were always meant to achieve.

"Sometimes in life, we don't understand why things are the way they are. But I know one thing. I know you are special. You will do something very important one day. Something you were born for. "-Nun's words to Max when he was a child. From Elysium movie.

As I looked out over the mountain, off to the battleground below. I begin to reflect on all of my friends who they killed, the war that I fight is no longer my planets. The war that I fight is my own, with them gone, I have nothing to lose, nothing to gain. Nothing but vengeance. If they remember me, I will be this legend. I will be the one who held nothing back, I will be humanity's savior.

"A lie told once remains a lie but a lie told a thousand times becomes the truth" "If you repeat a lie often enough, people will believe it, and you will even come to believe it yourself" "There will come a day, when all the lies will collapse under their own weight, and truth will again triumph".

"And he who controls the battlefield, controls history."—Solid Snake

"It is not truth that matters, but victory."— Adolf Hitler

"We will go down in history either as the world's greatest statesmen or its worst villains."— Hermann Göring

"If you win, you need not have to explain. If you lose, you should not be there to explain!"— Adolf Hitler

"The first casualty in war is always the truth."— Aeschylus

"History is filled with liars."

"History is written by the victor."

“History is nothing but a pack of tricks that we play on the dead.”

“I have written too much history to have faith in it; and if anyone thinks I'm wrong, I am inclined to agree with him.”

“History would be a wonderful thing - if it were only true.”

“History is the study of lies, anyway, because no witness ever recalls events with total accuracy, not even eyewitnesses.”

At fifteen I joined the army on an expedition, Only at eighty did I finally return. On the way, I met a villager: "Who is left in my home?" "See there in the distance is your home, Among the pine, cypress, and graves piled high." Rabbits enter through the dog hole, Pheasants fly from the rafters. In the parlor grows wild grain, Upon the well grows wild vegetables. I grind the grain for a meal, I pick the vegetables for the broth. Meal and broth are ready in an instant, But I know not whom to serve. As I step out and look east, Falling tears soak my clothes. -At Fifteen I Joined the Army on Expedition, One served his whole life in the war. And when he retired, things remain as ever, yet the one's family is here no more, it results in a meaningless life and emptiness as in end, you have no idea what has become of your family and you are all that is left from your clan.

“Get it all on record now – get the films – get the witnesses – because somewhere down the track of history some bastard will get up and say that this never happened.”– General Dwight D. Eisenhower, on future Holocaust denial.

Let us recollect that peace or war will not always be left to our option; that however moderate or unambitious we may be, we cannot count upon the moderation, or hope to extinguish the ambition of others- Alexander Hamilton, U.S. Secretary of the Treasury, economist, and political theorist.

"I no longer love blue skies. In fact, I now prefer grey skies. The drones do not fly when the skies are grey."

"You will be home before the leaves have fallen from the trees"— Kaiser Wilhelm II, watching German troops marching off to war in summer 1914.

"I ask you: Do you want total war? If necessary, do you want a war more total and radical than anything that we can even imagine today?"— Joseph Goebbels.

"The President of the United States ordered me to break through the Japanese lines and proceed from Corregidor to Australia for the purpose, as I understand it, of organizing the American offensive against Japan, a primary objective of which is the relief of the Philippines. I came through and I shall return."— Douglas MacArthur

"Democracy is more vindictive than Cabinets. The wars of peoples will be more terrible than those of kings."— Winston Churchill, speech in the House of Commons, 1901

"This is not a peace. It is an armistice for 20 years."— Ferdinand Foch on the Treaty of Versailles, 1919

"The date of the new European catastrophe will be determined by the time necessary for the arming of Germany. It is not a question of months, but neither is it a question of decades. It will be but a few years before Europe is again plunged into a war unless Hitler is forestalled in time by the inner forces of Germany".— Leon Trotsky

"It is us today. It will be you tomorrow."— Emperor Haile Selassie to the League of Nations after Italy's annexation of Ethiopia, 1936

December 7th, 1941 -- a date which will live in infamy -- the United States of America was suddenly and deliberately attacked by naval and air forces of the Empire of Japan.

"General Eisenhower informs me...that the forces of Germany have surrendered...to the United Nations. The victory won in the West...must now be won in the East!"

"60 million lives were lost as a result of World War II. It was the most destructive and deadly conflict in human history."— The game's ending text

"There comes a time in the affairs of men when they must prepare to defend, not their homes alone, but the tenets of faith and humanity on which their churches, their governments, and their very civilization are founded. The defense of religion, of democracy and of good faith among nations is all the same fight. To save one we must now make up our minds to save all."-Franklin D. Roosevelt.

This is preeminently the time to speak the truth, the whole truth, frankly and boldly. Nor need we shrink from honestly facing conditions in our country today. This great Nation will endure as it has endured, will revive and will prosper. So, first of all, let me assert my firm belief that the only thing we have to fear is fear itself — nameless, unreasoning, unjustified terror which paralyzes needed efforts to convert retreat into advance. In every dark hour of our national life a leadership of frankness and vigor has met with that understanding and support of the people themselves which is essential to victory. -Franklin D. Roosevelt.

"To conclude a solemn agreement. Whereby peace may be restored. It is my earnest hope. And indeed the hope of all mankind. That from this solemn occasion. A better world shall emerge out of the blood and carnage of the past. A world founded on faith and understanding. If man and the fulfillment of this most cherished voice. Of freedom, tolerance, and justice."-MacArthur's speech

Two innocent men lost their lives because of their ethnicity and political beliefs. And they weren't shot by some mercenary in a shady operation in a third world country (not that's any less of inhumane). They were falsely accused, wrongly convicted, and their murders were sanctioned by the state. The US government laughed at their faces the whole time, and they were there to see them put to rest before their time came. A society, that deemed itself the best one, committed murder, to make a point. Here's to you, Nicola and Bart.

As far as casualties were concerned I think there were more casualties in the first attack on Tokyo with incendiaries than there were with the first use of the atomic bomb on Hiroshima. The fact that it's done instantaneously, maybe that's more humane than incendiary attacks, if you can call any war act humane. I don't, particularly, so to me there wasn't much difference. A weapon is a weapon and it really doesn't make much difference how you kill a man. If you have to kill him, well, that's the evil to start with and how you do it becomes pretty secondary. I think your choice should be which weapon is the most efficient and most likely to get the whole mess over with as early as possible.— Curtis

Glory is just memory putting a brave face on horror.— Anonymous veteran of The Napoleonic Wars

"In the end, there will be no one else left. We are lost from this world. From home. We no longer have hope. We are no longer innocent. We no longer believe in such things. We only know one thing: War. The only escape is death. This is the Apocalypse." -Anonymous british soldier, 1915

"We demonize the enemy so that our opponent is no longer human. We view ourselves, our people, as the embodiment of absolute goodness. Our enemies invert our view of the world to justify their own cruelty. In most mythic wars this is the case. Each side reduces the other objects—eventually in the form of corpses."—Chris Hedges

Reason dictates we should hate this man. But it's hard to get angry at Josephus. What, after all, did he do? A few soldiers were tricked into suicide. Some demoralizing claptrap was shouted at a beleaguered army. A wife was distressed. (She survived, incidentally, and Josephus divorced her for a Roman heiress.) And sundry other crimes were committed, all of which pale by comparison to what the good men did. For it was the loyal, the idealistic and the brave who did the real damage. The devout and patriotic leaders of Jerusalem sacrificed tens of thousands of lives to the cause of freedom. Vespasian and Titus sacrificed tens of thousands more to the cause of civil order. Even Agrippa II, the Roman client king of Judea who did all he could to prevent the war, ended by supervising the destruction of half a dozen of his cities and the sale of their inhabitants into slavery. How much better for everyone if all the principal figures of the region had been slithering filth like Josephus.— P.J. O'Rourke

In war, there are no unwounded soldiers.— Jose Narosky

Make no mistake. War is coming. With all its glory. And with all its horror.— Arcturus Mengsk

What follows is frontline combat. You are not expected to survive.— Battlefield 1

You people of the South don't know what you are doing. This country will be drenched in blood, and God only knows how it will end. It is all folly, madness, a crime against civilization! You people speak so lightly of war; you don't know what you're talking about. War is a terrible thing! You mistake, too, the people of the North. They are a peaceable people but an earnest people, and they will fight, too. They are not going to let this country be destroyed without a mighty effort to save it … Besides, where are your men and appliances of war to contend against them? The North can make a steam engine, locomotive, or railway car; hardly a yard of cloth or pair of shoes can you make. You are rushing into war with one of the most powerful, ingeniously mechanical, and determined people on Earth — right at your doors. You are bound to fail. Only in your spirit and determination are you prepared for war. In all else you are totally unprepared, with a bad cause to start with. At first you will make headway, but as your limited resources begin to fail, shut out from the markets of Europe as you will be, your cause will begin to wane. If your people will but stop and think, they must see in the end that you will surely fail.— William Tecumseh Sherman

Anyone who has ever looked into the glazed eyes of a soldier dying on the battlefield will think hard before starting a war.— Otto von Bismarck

War seems a fine adventure, the greatest most of them will ever know. Then they get a taste of battle. For some, that one taste is enough to break them. Others go on for years, until they lose count of all the battles they have fought in, but even a man who has survived a hundred fights can break in his hundred-and-first. All thought of home is gone by then, and kings and lords and gods mean less to him than a haunch of spoiled meat that will let him live another day, or a skin of bad wine that might drown his fear for a few hours. The broken man lives from day to day, from meal to meal, more beast than man. Lady Brienne is not wrong. In times like these, the traveler must beware of broken men, and fear them... but he should pity them as well.—Septon Meribald

If they want new boots or a warmer cloak or maybe a rusted iron halfhelm, they need to take them from a corpse, and before long they are stealing from the living too, from the smallfolk whose lands they’re fighting in, men very like the men they used to be. They slaughter their sheep and steal their chickens, and from there it’s just a short step to carrying off their daughters too. And one day they look around and realize all their friends and kin are gone, that they are fighting beside strangers beneath a banner that they hardly recognize. They don’t know where they are or how to get back home and the lord they’re fighting for does not know their names, yet here he comes, shouting for them to form up, to make a line with their spears and scythes and sharpened hoes, to stand their ground. And the knights come down on them, faceless men clad all in steel, and the iron thunder of their charge seems to fill the world. And the man breaks. He turns and runs, or crawls off afterward over the corpses of the slain, or steals away in the black of night, and he finds someplace to hide. All thought of home is gone by then, and kings and lords and gods mean less to him than a haunch of spoiled meat that will let him live another day, or a skin of bad wine that might drown his fear for a few hours. The broken man lives from day to day, from meal to meal, more beast than man. Lady Brienne is not wrong. In times like these, the traveler must beware of broken men, and fear them... but he should pity them as well. — Septon Meribald

I have spent a lifetime fighting. With it, I have become haunted by the ghosts of my victims, of the many who have died by my blade through my sad, sad ignorance. I have killed the innocent and guilty, all in one stroke. No more. I now see the world as it should be, not what it is. My time has come. Whether I live, or I fall, my I find redemption for all that I have done. And retribution for those who have perished!

This book is to be neither an accusation nor a confession, and least of all an adventure, for death is not an adventure to those who stand face to face with it. It will try simply to tell of a generation of men who, even though they may have escaped shells, were destroyed by the war. — All Quiet on the Western Front

"And as I draw my last breath, I feel not fear but peace and serenity. As the world crumbles and people run in terror, I realize and accept that it is humanities time to bow out and allow the cycle to continue."

And finally, the humanity realized that we could not face each other, that to continue on, we would have to look beyond ourselves and our strife. And in that moment, that heartbeat, a new race was born, one of courage and determination. We would recover. We would prevail. We would rebuild.

Death doesn't frighten me now, not after all the killing i've seen and done. My only chance now is to save them from the horrible fate that awaits. Its my only chance at redemption. No one can stop me wether it be 1 or a 1,000. This is my fault i must make it write and hope its enough for my redemption. They are my only chance, my only redemption.

There were once 3 brothers. They were met by Death. Death said, "All of you must die. But I will grant you power. To defeat me. Choose wisely". The eldest chose strength. He attacked Death, but he was overpowered. The middle son chose intelligence. He tried to outsmart Death, but it was he who was outsmarted.The third chose speed. He started moving. Moving at the speed of Death.

In the battlefield, there is no place for hope. What lies there is only cold despair and a sin called victory, built on the pain of the defeated. All those people who met there have wholeheartedly admitted the evil and foolishness of this act called "war." As long as people don't repent and don't regard it as the most evil taboo, then hell would endlessly reappear in the world — Emiya Kiritsugu

Asuna... I... didn’t know anything. How horrifying war is... how painful it is to lose... I didn’t know anything— Rika "Lisbeth" Shinozaki

Hey, is this world even worth protecting? What have I been fighting for all this time? Answer me. Right now! Or else— Sayaka Miki

War is not heroic. War is not exhilarating. It is dark. It is dreadful. It is a thing of sorrow and gloom. That is why people fear war. That is why people choose to avoid it. — Izuru Kira

The night is darkest just before the dawn, but the dawn brings conquest.

EVERYTHING THEY BUILT WILL FALL! AND FROM THE ASHES OF THEIR WORLD... WE'LL BUILT A BETTER ONE !!!

I chose darkness over light. I chose hate and greed, I chose the lust for power. I chose the ambition that drives me. I chose something that molds, something that empowers me. Something that makes me fearless.

"In the end, there will be no one left. We are no longer innocent. We are lost from this world. From home. We no longer believe in such things. We only believe in war."

“The empire long united must divide, long divided must unite; this is how it has always been.”― Luo Guanzhong, Romance of the Three Kingdoms, Vol. 1

"Good times breed weak men. Weak men bring bad times. Bad times breed strong men. Strong men bring good times." It is a cycle that never ends and describes the story of many dynasties and empires' rise and fall.

"In war, truth is the first casualty." - Aeschylus, (525 BC-456 BC)

Don't wait for extraordinary opportunities. Seize common occasions and make them great. Weak men wait for opportunities; strong men make them.

I believe we are truly mistaken, it is said the darkest times are past us, this is an unfortunate miss understanding or otherwise nothing short of a lie, the darkest times of our existence lay set before us, and it is now as we stand at the forefront of tomorrow's wake, that we decide whether or not those dark times will consume us and leave us shrouded in our mistakes through the miss fortune of man or that it will act as our catalyst for redemption into the light that is enlightenment, Freedom, Unity, Equality, these are the qualities that will guide us into the light, into redemption, into the hands of enlightenment, virtue them as your values or else you shall succumb to their vices.

"Perhaps of all the monsters, the giant shark is the most enduring. It incorporates virtually every element that we require of our mythological sea beasts: great size, mysterious habits, verified anthropophagous inclinations (i.e., attacking and eating humans), and a history that goes back to the beginnings of recorded time. More than Leviathan, more than the sea serpent, more than the Kraken, Megalodon may be the ultimate monster." - Richard Ellis, Monsters of the Sea.

“The spiral of origin is the primordial beginning of all things in this pattern of reality. All things pass through the great wheel, their natures and their histories—past, present, and future—are connected to it. It is thus a vast and empty place. It reflects what I am, in a way. I am connected to it, and I am a part of it as well. I am it. Which is why the greatest feats that mages can only dream of are allowed me. I can change the very structure of elementary particles. I can transmute evolution itself, changing everything into something wholly different. All creation dances to the tune of magic and the melody of the arcane Art. I can bend the rules of this lie of a reality, this prison that keeps so many minds in sleep. I can break it as easily as a twig. I can remake this world. I can unmake it. I can make a new one whole cloth.”- Kara no Kyoukai 8: Epilogue - page 227

The Imperial Guard relief force-marched through the city gates with crowds of the native inhabitants looking on. But there was little cheering or celebrating. The grim-looking army was not the angels of salvation that the people had thought they would be. Rather, they were silent, lifeless beings that spared the people not even a single glance as they marched by. The peoples faces grew nearly as dreary as the soldiers masks as they realized that their saviors were not like angels, but more like walking corpses. But through the crowd of bleak and cheerless faces, a bright and sunny one appeared. 'Why is everyone so afraid of them,' she thought, 'when they're here to save us? We should be thankful.' She leaned over the side and reached out to the nearest passing soldier, holding one of the summer flowers she had gathered. 'These are for someone else, but you can have one.' she said cheerfully. The soldier hesitated for a moment, looking at the gift being presented to him, then he moved back into formation. He didn't take it, but she was sure that he wanted to. Her grandmother frantically pulled her back and began scolding her. She didn't listen, she just put the flower back with the rest and stepped back, her smile unchanged.

"She looked at me, a smile on her face. That smile...perplexed me. In this bleak universe of war and suffering and endless savagery and destruction, what good is it to smile? Even so, there was something about that smile, and the flower she offered, that made me feel better. All around me, these people we saved, FEARED us. But she didn't. She was welcoming us, showing us gratitude. And as inexplicable as it is, I believed at that moment that it made the fight to liberate this planet all the more worthwhile."

When we arrived on Praxis 4 to relieve our Cadian guardsmen, we were met with fear, our unit must have looked as if we were men ofthe chaos...no matter who we were, we had our duty. but then she was there...a young woman...although not guardsmen material...had a bright cheery smile as if the emperor was with her...she reached out from the barrier and extended to me a flower..."these are for someone else but you can have one" i stopped for a moment...looked at the flower in almost shock...i wanted to accept her gift, but i didn't...i got back in line and noticed my kommisar watching. he smirked and continued on, it was pretty clear his message, the emperor saw that too...that girl gave me hope for humanity, for the emperor...and what our purpose is: protect the Imperium of man and all innocent humans...like the girl

I marched onwards, this parade of strength in this most dark world of ours. I consider the moments, the lives around me. They fear us, even as we have sacrificed so much for them, they are afraid. In unison, we continue. Formation unceased and uniform. I saw her, in the crowd. Her smile, the sole example of gratitude towards the guard. I neared her location, she reached out with a flower in thanks, though it was not destined to be mine. "You can have one she said" I paused in my step and looked at the flower, my thoughts racing within, I knew I could not accept this gift, Yet I longed to do so. After a moments thought, I turned and fell back into formation. This offering from a simple gardener, it lifts my heart to know that even in suffering, there would always be those who act in praise and love in spite of the fear around them. I both love and pity the individuals

And he stayed yet other seven days, and again he sent forth the dove out of the ark; and the dove came into him in the evening; and, lo, in her mouth was an olive leaf pluckt off: so Noah knew that the waters were abated from off the earth.

"Now this is not the end. It is not even the beginning of the end. But it is, perhaps, the end of the beginning."— Winston Churchill

"Armor was, and still is, the most expensive and laborious piece of the knight's equipment to produce, but it is perhaps the most impressive. In a time when roads are covered with mud, peasants have grime on them and rags, the knight passing through the city would be like an angel descended from the heavens. One has to remember that, as Professor Tobias Capel points out, the hierarchy of knights extends all the way up into heaven, and thus the knight was supposed to represent the best virtues that the kingdom could offer."

"That's the problem with you sad city types. You think a place has to be boring and dull as ditchwater before you accept it as real."

Idealism is our stock in trade, Lambert. A religion without ideals is tyranny.

"It's difficult in times like these: ideals, dreams and cherished hopes rise within us, only to be crushed by grim reality. It's a wonder I haven't abandoned all my ideals, they seem so absurd and impractical. Yet I cling to them because I still believe, in spite of everything, that people are truly good at heart."— The Diary of Anne Frank

"Life without idealism is empty indeed. We just hope or starve to death."— Pearl S. Buck

"There can't possibly be any meaning in this world. But isn't that wonderful in its own right? Because if there isn't any, we can find our own."— 2nd Lt. Felicia Heidemann

Criminals are made, not born."— Andrew Kehoe

"We try and hold on to some kind of ideals, when everything - ideals, hope, everything is being destroyed."— Anne Frank

"The world is not beautiful, therefore it is."— Kino's Journey

"The sea is vast, Robin! Somewhere out there, there are friends who will protect you! Find them! Befriend them! Travel with them! Simply existing can NOT BE A SIN!"— Jaguar D. Saul

"As long as you're alive, anywhere can be paradise."— Yui Ikari

"This world is a cruel place. But it is also very beautiful."—Mikasa Ackerman

"There is no justice in the laws of nature, no term for fairness in the equations of motion. The Universe is neither evil, nor good, it simply does not care. The stars don't care, or the Sun, or the sky.

But they don't have to! We care! There is light in the world, and it is us!"— Harry James Evans-Verres

"I can’t see or predict the future, but I can understand the inner workings of many things. Society, the human mind, DNA, aspects of the universe itself. Do you want to know what I’ve learned? Nothing means anything. We cling to the surface of a piece of dust in the void, wedged between molten rock and a thin envelop of gas circling a mass of burning plasma fusing hydrogen into helium. One day destined to burn out. Our society is broken, backward, unjust, filled with exploitation and corruption. Many of us claim to know the truth meaning of this world- parents, governments, religious leaders- but none of them know anything. They are merely people who chose to find their own answers in this indifferent universe. Never able to grasp at the one absolute truth there is in this universe. That there is no truth." "None of us are born on purpose. Not put here for a reason. Nothing exists with a goal. We cry out for a higher power to guide us, but we get no response. There is no god, no fate, and no destiny. Existence is just existence. Everything is born from oblivion, existing for a brief time, then returning to oblivion. There’s no reason for it, but it happens anyway. The concepts many of us hold so dearly in our lives, such as love, peace, kindness, happiness, and justice are meaningless. They are merely ephemeral concepts manifested by our own minds. And yet, it’s precisely because they’re so ephemeral that I value them so much. In my vocabulary, "meaningless" is not synonymous with "worthless." The most meaningless things in the world are, to me, the most valuable and important."—Kyoji Nakamura

"The struggle itself toward the heights is enough to fill a man's heart. One must imagine Sisyphus happy."— Albert Camus

"Knowing the truth which is that nothing matters, can save you in those moments. Once you get through the terrifying threshold of accepting that, then every place is the center of the universe, and every moment is the most important moment, and everything is the meaning of life."—Dan Harmon

"It's Hebrew from the Talmud. It says, 'Whoever saves one life, saves the world entire.'"— Stern

"Life is a storm. One minute you will bathe under the sun and the next you will be shattered upon the rocks. That's when you shout, "Do your worst, for I will do mine!' and you will be remembered forever."— Alexandre Dumas

"Life is something that ends. Life is a pilgrimage that accrues suffering. But it is by no means just a story of death and extinction."— King Solomon

"Be soft. Do not let the world make you hard. Do not let pain make you hate. Do not let the bitterness steal your sweetness. Take pride that even though the rest of the world may disagree, you still believe it to be a beautiful place."— Kurt Vonnegut

"What is a cynic? A man who knows the price of everything and the value of nothing."— Oscar Wilde

"A cynic is a man who, when he smells flowers, looks around for a coffin."— H. L. Mencken

"You may be deceived if you trust too much, but you will live in torment if you do not trust enough."—Frank Crane

"Men who are unhappy, like men who sleep badly, are always proud of the fact."—Bertrand Russell

"The reasonable man adapts himself to the world: the unreasonable one persists in trying to adapt the world to himself. Therefore all progress depends on the unreasonable man."— George Bernard Shaw, Man and Superman

"The problems of the world cannot possibly be solved by skeptics or cynics whose horizons are limited by the obvious realities. We need men who can dream of things that never were."— John F. Kennedy

Our will is always for our own good, but we do not always see what that is.— Jean-Jacques Rousseau

How selfish soever man may be supposed, there are evidently some higher principles in his nature, which interests him in the fortune of others, and render their happiness necessary to him, though he derives nothing from it, except the pleasure of seeing it.— Adam Smith

"For every horrible thing down here, there's something far more beautiful."— Kubo

"The cynic is one who never sees a good quality in a man and never fails to see a bad one. He is the human owl, vigilant in the darkness and blind to the light, always pursuing vermin and never hunting noble game."— Henry Ward Beecher

"Optimism is a strategy for making a better future. Because unless you believe that the future can be better, you are unlikely to step up and take responsibility for making it so."— Noam Chomsky

What were you trying to prove? That deep down, everyone is as ugly as you? You're alone.— Batman

"Don’t be afraid to be a fool. Remember, you cannot be both young and wise. Young people who pretend to be wise to the ways of the world are mostly just cynics. Cynicism masquerades as wisdom, but it is the farthest thing from it. Because cynics don’t learn anything. Because cynicism is a self-imposed blindness, a rejection of the world because we are afraid it will hurt us or disappoint us. Cynics always say no. But saying yes begins things. Saying yes is how things grow. Saying yes leads to knowledge. "Yes" is for young people. So for as long as you have the strength to, say yes."—Stephen Colbert

"Cynicism is not realistic and tough. It's unrealistic and kind of cowardly because it means you don't have to try."— Peggy Noonan, Good Housekeeping

"Cynicism isn't smarter, it's only safer."— Jewel Kilcher

A knight in shining armor is a man who has never had his metal truly tested.

If we affirm one moment, we thus affirm not only ourselves but all existence. For nothing is self-sufficient, neither in us ourselves nor in things; and if our soul has trembled with happiness and sounded like a harp string just once, all eternity was needed to produce this one event—and in this single moment of affirmation all eternity was called good, redeemed, justified, and affirmed.— Friedrich Nietzsche

What if I don't want the Pattern to continue? We live the same lives! Over and over and over. We make the same mistakes. Kingdoms do the same stupid things. Rulers fail their people time and time again. Men continue to hurt and hate and die and kill. What if I think it's all meaningless? What if I don't want it to keep turning? We live our lives by the blood of others! And those others become forgotten. What good is it if everything we know will fade? Great deeds or great tragedies, neither means anything! They will become legends, and then those legends will be forgotten, then it will start all over again! What if he is right? What if it's better for this all to end?— Rand Al'thor

Nothing is tragic. Everything is unreal.— Emile Cioran

Now all my tales are based on the fundamental premise that common human laws and interests and emotions have no validity or significance in the vast cosmos-at-large... To achieve the essence of real externality, whether of time or space or dimension, one must forget that such things as organic life, good and evil, love and hate, and all such local attributes of a negligible and temporary race called mankind, have any existence at all.— H.P. Lovecraft

"A weakened mind always sees everything through a black veil. The soul makes its own horizons; your soul is dark, which is why you see such a cloudy sky."— Alexandre Dumas

"In the end, we shall have had enough of cynicism, skepticism, and humbug, and we shall want to live more musically."— Vincent van Gogh

"A cynic is a what an idealist calls a realist."

"In every cynical person, there is a disappointed idealist."—George Carlin

"Honor and courage aren't what matters, not in real war. What matters is whether you win. After you win, then you start talking about honor and courage. When you're in battle, you do what you have to do. Honor and courage and all that? Those are the words you say after you've killed all your enemies."

"It is painful to a man of experience to see you young fellows of such great promise come up and 'kick' yourself half to death 'against the pricks' of an established business, parties, and customs, but half of you do it. In the end, all of you come limping in, poor, disheartened, defeated, and then swing to the other extreme, by being so willing for a change you'll take almost anything, and so the dirty jobs naturally fall to you."

"Youth is easily deceived because it is quick to hope."— Aristotle, Book II

"An idealist is a cynic in the making."— H. L. Mencken

"Optimism is cowardice"— Oswald Spengler

"Idealism is fine, but as it approaches reality, the costs become prohibitive."— William F. Buckley Jr.

Hope springs eternal in the human breast; Man never Is, but always To be blest: The soul, uneasy and confin'd from home, Rests and expatiates in a life to come- Alexander Pope

"Hope is what makes us strong. It is why we are here. It is what we fight with when all else is lost."—Pandora

"But you can't kill dreams. Not really. I mean, despair may be the thing that comes after hope, but there's still hope, right?"— Matthew the Raven

"The real battle starts with those who strike first...!"

"A huge energy drone army specially created to gather and store big amounts of energy during long journeys around unknown planets. "

" Life shall be yours thus your eternal submission ours!!!" - the monks cried. "and then the earth shaked..."

"In a world where war has transformed everything into an empty soulless future, and every sign of hope seems to be forgotten, one remaining light of faith wishes to grasp a new reality, and illuminate the future with freedom and peace. And with confidence and fierce, he will always face the imminent destruction and will move forward until the end of infinite times......always inside of us"

A beam of gold light began to glow from Unicron's maw, blinding the Lithonians below. As he drew near, they began to feel themselves being pulled up, like dust particles in a vacuum. Soon after, the large pincers dropped down onto the surface, piercing through the metal ground and driving themselves into the igneous rock below. They then began to bend inward, so that their pointed ends faced toward each other, as Unicron brought the entirety of Lithone before his mouth. As the pincers stopped moving, the panels around his mouth opened, turning into a ring of hooked teeth. As Lithone was pulled closer, the teeth began to close down over the surface, penetrating the metal covering, and ripping the entire planet in two

"I am time grown old, creating world destruction, set in motion to annihilate the worlds; even without you, all these warriors arrayed in hostile ranks will cease to exist. Therefore, arise and win glory! Conquer your foes and fulfill your kingship! They are already killed by me. Be just my instrument, the archer at my side!"- Krishna

"We knew the world would not be the same. Few people laughed, few people cried, most people were silent. I remembered the line from Hindu scripture, the Bhagavad Gita. Vishnu is trying to persuade the Prince that he should do his duty, and, to impress him, takes on his multi-armed form and says 'Now I have become Death, the destroyer of worlds'. I suppose we all thought that, one way or another." — J. Robert Oppenheimer

You gaze at the mountain, Children of Terra, you see its snow-capped peak and the clouds upon its slopes. You dream of reaching that pinnacle and drinking the cold waters. But who dreams of the road that ascends the mountain side? The road to the peak is hard and murderous. It has broken countless Children of Terra upon its rocks. Their splintered bones lie scattered upon it, paving the way to the mountain top. At every step, you will hear the bones crumbling underfoot, and maybe you shall hear the wind-blown voices of the dead - guiding you forward or leading you to your doom. Yes, my children, the way to the mountain is cruel and unforgiving. And of those who struggle their long lives, spending their energy and vigor in the climb, who then can taste the melt-water of the summit and say, 'Yes... yes it was worthwhile?'

"A battle has been fought and is now over. Place your sword upon the ground, and rest in the temporal peace. After dozing in the warmth of a dream, a new day will begin. And we still chase the same star we once saw." - Fell The Tempest.

"The greatest joy in life is to cut my enemies to pieces, drive them before me, seize their possessions, witness the tears of those who are dear to them and to embrace their wives and daughters."- Genghis Khan

"She's... out there. Setting out a camp. Alone. In a strange galaxy. Maybe right now she's setting out for the long nap. By the light of Our new Sun. In Our new home..."

Can you feel it? I feel the impending doom of the eternity. The endless black of space so vast yet so full of intricacy. Every stretch of the infinite holding infinity within itself. And you mean nothing. Not against that complete emptiness. You can do nothing. Not against the clock that will never stop ticking. You are nothing.

"We've always defined ourselves by the ability to overcome the impossible. And we count these moments. These moments when we dare to aim higher, to break barriers, to reach for the stars, to make the unknown known. We count these moments as our proudest achievements. But we lost all that. Or perhaps we've just forgotten that we've still pioneered. And we've barely begun. And that our greatest accomplishments cannot be behind us, because our destiny lies above us"

"The walls were built to contain the people and protect them from outside forces. Over time, the human population had died down and the Wall began deteriorating, falling apart. Those still loyal remained in the Wall's limits, those who were betrayed, bit back and escaped. Now outside the Wall, a time for an uprising was never better than now. The anarchists rose to the top of the Wall, showing defiance to their betrayers. The Wall would fall, and he made sure to see it."

By these lands that are equivalent to death, stand your ground until your last no mercy to the enemy at hand, for you may see what is truly bland, these hands you see can always weep as you bleed, for infection will leave nothing by any means. Fight for this oncoming plague for you are not vague, turn the world into a hellish plain in which humans could never gain.

An agent that creeps into your body and feeds off your negative energy, silently eating away at your body from the inside. You don't notice it until it grows too big to be unnoticeable. It will claim your body, your mind and your emotions, gripping you in its tight control. Like a shadow, it makes no sound as it stalks you. Or a time bomb, ticking away the seconds as it gets closer to the point of exploding. A virus can be anything really. Not just an infectious agent, but greed or anger. Even fear.

When you are tired. and only seconds away before you sleep. Close your eyes and listen to the music. The reality changes you don't dream anymore. The sleepiness drains the reality to overwrite it with yours. Lay down...forget reality. Get lost in your mind and understand what you really are. This is the power of humanity.

Sounds like the Earth is coming to an end... we are sending people with this STD to some abandoned Soviet Union city in the middle of a desert... others are sent labs to be tested... people are breaking down into tears as they learn they have it... half the world is wiped out cause of it... guess what, you have it too.

The world was not the same anymore. it was no longer what it used to be. As I looked out over the once proud and beautiful city, I could only see decay. Not a fast decay but a decay that slowly became more and more evident for each day that passed by. There was once a time when everyone thought that the peace and joy would remain forever. Fools we all were for not realizing that nothing lasts forever. The good times are bound to be replaced by bad times, that's how it was and that's how it always had been. But that didn't mean that nothing could be done about it. I knew that the world could be changed and that the days of peace and joy could return, but only if one fights enough for it. That's what I and my allies would do from now on. We would fight to change the world and end the decay that had been going on for such a long time. I inhaled a big breath of air into my lungs and shouted as loud as I possibly could: "The bad times will soon be over everyone! Our children and grandchildren are not going to endure what we're enduring right now! All of you who can hear me, please don't be afraid to join my cause! I can't change the world on my own, but we can change the world together because together we're stronger than anything else! Together we can do everything and nothing will be able to stop us!" I panted heavily, having almost lost my voice because of the loud screaming. I looked up and noticed how the light in the far distance had become stronger than before. I smiled and felt how my heart began to beat faster. This must've been a sign, a sign that the good times were already on their way back. Although I knew in my heart that there was still contingency about the future, I knew that in the end I would succeed and I would bring back the good days of old and return order and peace to the lands. Everything would be good again.

About two years back, we took in one of the refugees. Scouts had found her out in the Wastes with a bloodied cleaver in her hand, surrounded by the dead bodies of Imperial Soldiers. We saw the potential held in her insane gaze and decided to train her to use her abilities. The higher-ups were skeptical but she quickly proved her mettle as she joyfully cut down any Imperials that stood in our way. We call her The Wild Card; an unpredictable trap to be sprung on our enemies at any given moment. With her on our side, we may just have what it takes to take back our world.

Bloodied, battered, I cling to an image as another wave comes. The thought of her smile her touch her lips and a promise to keep. In that, I find new strength I throttle my sword, brace my shield, ground my feet and ease my heart with the thought that this is the last wave and I can return home after. The world irrupts in roars and screams and steel and fire and blood in the midst of a dying day. Let them feel the King's Wrath.

Like my blade, my heart has shattered. Like my armor, my body has crumbled. Like my crown, my mind has broken. Peace be damned! Did they leave us in peace when my family begged for mercy. Reason be damned! Was there a reason for them to burn my kin alive before my eyes before they turned their lustful gaze to me. I lived, but my soul died. I am a corpse driven by the last wishes of my royal line. By the mother that loved me, the father that fought to the last, by my brother that couldn't speak but screamed to buy me just a second more. I will not fall until every one of those demons in human flesh is exorcised from these lands. They will suffer a thousand hells by my hand and by my will. For I am king now! And nothing on heaven or earth is beyond me! This is my wrath, and even if the sword of damocles sees fit to take me, I want my very memory to have the strength to reap their souls! Death will bow to me. Life will flee from me, And God-- He will turn away, knowing all that I have wrought was his doing.

"She is not one you would take lightly, Max," the guard tells me, as we make our way down the darkened halls. "Why?" I ask my curiosity peaked, he sighs."I warn you, young one she is not some damsel who needs saving" he replies "then what is she?" I ask he says nothing as we near the large iron doors. They open wide revealing a large iron throne, created of swords and iron, sitting atop of it is a beautiful girl, my age I suppose no older than 19. She has very pale porcelain skin and hair as black as a raven's feathers. She sits back straight a menacing look in her blood red eyes. Her, full lips tip into a smile."So, boy" she says, her voice is smooth like honey. "Is it you who dare to oppose me?" That was when I had realized. The Iron King. Was indeed. A woman. And may the gods forbid I invoke the king's wrath.

We are close to the end, our life we must defend, Fear not the dreadful sights, Have we not faced these plights? Look upon the earth once more, remember the oath we once swore. In sacrifice feel your blade ascend, your life will strengthen our revenge.

Warriors of old shall rise. And they shall destroy. The wicked shall be punished. The dead will be avenged. We are warriors of old. We fight, to avenge.

A student once asked his master, "Sir, you teach us how to fight and win, yet to breach of peace. How do you reconcile the two?". Smiling the master replied, "Which is better, to be a warrior in a garden or a gardener in war?"

Dancing Blades. My journey has carried me far. The battle that rages tears at my heart. With flying grace my blade will dance, and to this day my enemies will fear my grace. The followers are so beautiful, the water is shining off my swords. Onward to face my danger where not a single puddle shall fall to my grace

My body may be battered, And my sword shattered. My mind may be broken, And my heart was shaken. But, If you ever harm who I love, I will rain death from above. For even with all my faults, I will never come to a halt. Even should I die, My soul will light up the sky. Prepare your legions and armies, No matter what happens, I will attain Victory.

Here is the thing, The time, slowly flows, And men think, The darkest Crows, The Past and beyond that, Life is a nightmare, Everyone is a threat, Only the death is fair, Give your last breath, And save yourself from your fate.

In here you shall see the many wars and battles fought across the great war... the battle you see now shall decide what shall happen to the past, and the future beyond.

As we start our new journey, not just in NA, but also in the second chapter of fate grand order trying to capture the "escaped demon pillars who found their meaning in life", we should remember our journey in the first seven singularities and the time spent with our servants. Never forget Your friends, your enemies, your allies, your rivals. Who they were, what they did, what they believed in, and how far they would go to see those beliefs through to the end.

All the pain... The losses we've suffered... But it was thanks to those who lit the torch, that in the end it's light was entrusted to our hands. And with it, we lit the path towards humanity's future...Don't let their memories go to waste, as those who carry the burden of the world, we must live on; in the name of all who sacrificed themselves, as many times worth as a number of people we fought alongside. "Never forget... we were born from the ashes... And a burning blaze we shall become"

"Form over the hill, out of the murky woods, beyond the ashen ruin of the dark lands, we came to see our fortress. The battered armies, of many nations, celebrating having held their line. The white marble castle, its ancient facade cracked to reveal the iron-like granite beneath, stood firm and the banners flew high above the smoke and flame. One could forgive them, for the numbers lost, so dear and enormous, not seeing our lowly party struggle home, exhausted. But to our beleaguered amazement, not a one failed to recognize us and the trials we undertook and withstood. And their celebration rose again higher, the few who did what the many could not, to do what the strong never could... We vanquished the evil, at last... We vanquished evil..."

As the soldiers of the past have resisted annihilation, the soldiers of the future sought beauty in destruction. And as Prometheus taught the first fire to appear. We, too, shall teach every foe... how to fear!

You sought to enslave the one nation who believes freedom is the only way to go... the only nation whose individuals carry rifles and shotguns on their side to show off to their neighbors what kind of preferences they have. You sought to revoke the rights of a nation who stands simply for rights altogether... you sought the worst possible nation you could have tried to enslave. We may be weak as individuals or as small, uneducated groups... but what you apparently have failed to see and understand... is that we are family, we are brothers and sisters... and when you divide a family... there will always be the one individual within who asks "Why are we doing this?" ... when that question is asked... we will unite once again and come together to find out WHY we turned on each other. WHY we were driven to such a state of war within our own ranks. The few of us who ARE educated... we will tell them. We will hunt you down, no longer as individuals, but as leaders and as wise men of something beautiful. Duty. We will find you, no longer as slaves, but as vigilantes who sought something greater. Liberation. We. Will. Kill you. Not as murderers... or terrorists... but as people... humans wanting their lives back and their nation back.

Today... you see us as disobedient slaves who need a slap on the wrist. Tomorrow... you will recoil under your desks in fear, helpless as we burn everything you ever knew and came to love. We will be monsters... we will be nightmarish. We will be unstoppable. Why? Because where we come from. Revolution is second hand. It is part of our way of life. We are hell on Earth.

I travel around the universe, to keep them safe, to protect that, what is most precious. I am a soldier, a warrior. I give everything to protect them, to keep, them, safe, for my trail is nigh... Live, and I shall see you again in the next life, remember me and live, for then I will be immortal, for what lies behind me and what lies before me is nothing compared to my love for you, my sister, I have faced my trail, and passed, now it is your turn, to face your destiny.

I lift my masters banner in a place like all before me, and now I understand what my master said. "Being noble does not come from birth, it come from doing noble deeds" As I stand before all that came before me, I see that we can Rise to a greater purpose, for our actions determined who we are and what we will become, I am just a squire now but one day, I will have my banner lifted in place, and I will live on next to all those masters that gave their lives when great evil raised its head.

The death of king's mentor sets in motion a power for his throne amongst the wealthiest families in his kingdom. As the king's death is shrouded in uncertainty many claimants vie for control of the iron throne, all the while ignoring the real threat that is coming from the north. In the war to come to the shenanigans to the south will prove to be irrelevant. Winter is coming and death is coming with it.

When winter comes to war, you shall hear no Lions roar. When winter forces you to yield, No Stags shall graze upon the field. When winter creeps upon you from the shadows, No Roses shall bloom from the meadows. When winter wreaks havoc on the land, You can bet there'll be no Snakes in the sand. When winter brings to life all it finds grim, the Krakens will freeze where they swim. When winter sets and the land begins to shiver, The Flayed Man will start to rot and wither. When winter fights to the last sliver, No more Trouts shall swim in the river. When winter ravages and all despair, No Falcons shall fly high in the air. When winter shows you what happens when snow falls, not even Dragons Breath shall warm you in your halls. When winter comes with all its might, only the Wolves shall howl in the night!

I see my father's sword, staked into the ground, like a headstone for the kings of old. As I get closer I see a suit of armor, one that is fitting for a king. "I lived through it Father, I hope I was the hero that you always wanted" I wished... Later in life the son that was became a legend, in his own right, and use to say to all his soldiers before battle, "Remember Hero's will be remembered but legends never die, for if you find yourself in a field and alone, you may not be a hero, but one day you will be immortal"

Only when you have fallen and our nation is returned to the people... the world, given back to its rightful owners... only then... will we stand down. For when this final revolution is all over... the nation we all watch crumble today will be incorruptible tomorrow. You. Are to blame.

Any living creature who has seen a black hole has never lived to tell about it...

“Looks at the little boy, the cradle of humanity, the place of one comes all, will disappear, devoured by a black hole, a supermassive black hole. »

"Every kingdom divided against itself will be ruined, and every city or household divided against itself will not stand."— The Bible, Matthew 12:25

"To defeat an enemy, you must know them. Not simply their battle tactics, but their history, philosophy, art."

To defeat an enemy is not enough. They must be broken, shattered, their will to fight utterly quashed and bent to fit your designs. A blade can end a life. Fear can end an empire.

Truly understanding a foe can confer the biggest advantage upon a warrior-Tacticians of Naramon

Destiny is not a matter of chance, it is a matter of choice; it is not a thing to be waited for, it is a thing to be achieved. -William Jennings Bryan

The First Dynasty was the start, a beginning full of hope and trouble, a legend of beginnings.

The Second Dynasty was much the same, but with a grasp of control, a legend of progress.

The Third Dynasty was when it became its own self, a legend of identity.

The Fourth Dynasty was when war and famine struck, with corruption at the epicenter, a legend of death.

The Fifth Dynasty was when it all turned around, a legend of change.

The Sixth Dynasty was when it changed for the better, becoming something more, a legend of restoration.

The Seventh Dynasty was when there was much mirth, a joyous time, a legend of serendipity.

The Eighth Dynasty was forever, a golden age where everything was at its best, a legend of timelessness.

“You know, this whole time I thought, if I was born to die, what the heck was the point of me even being born? I never made anything or gave anything to anyone. All I did was waste drugs, and hog that machine and…cause trouble for everyone. If all I got to do was suffer and disappear in the end…it'd be better to just disappear right now. I used to always think 'Why am I alive? Why'd I stick around for this long?' But…y'know what? After all this time, I think I know why now. I might not have done much, but I'm glad I got to live. 'Cuz after everything, these last few moments…they're the best ever. I'm surrounded by all my friends, and I got to end my journey in the arms of someone I love.”

She had accepted her fate. She had come to terms with it but the thought still terrified her. Rather than sitting alone and crying, she surrounded herself with her friends who were all in the same position. They were the Sleeping Knights. None were likely to live, but they refused to sit back and die crying. They stood and fought. They made new friends, those who would live even after they had died to carry on the legacy of the Sleeping Knights and the skill of the Mother's Rosario. In the end, she died. But she wasn't alone. She was surrounded by all those she had met. When her time came, she cried. But she was happy and wasn't alone.

Mei gazed up at the clearing sky. The wispy smoke was parting, revealing a hopeful blue. Distantly, she heard the thud of her sword falling to the ground. Somehow, she knew this was the end. The end of a war, the end of an era. The beginning of a new dynasty, still untold in the stories of the elders. This time, she was living it. The complete revolution of her country - history. It would never be the same again, and she would be there to lead the change. She would be there, to make sure the Eighth Dynasty didn’t repeat itself. She would be there, to witness a new age, to lead the people as the Ninth Dynasty unfolded about them; and she would be there, centuries - dynasties - later, as a memory preserved in the legends of the elders.

The Ninth Dynasty...a legend still in the making, completely untold. What shall it bring? All that is known is that this legend shall bring an ending, and return to the Zeroth Dynasty. But what shall the ending be?

"Few of the birds that Aemon had sent off had returned as yet. One reached Stannis, though. One found Dragonstone, and a king who still cared." - Samwell Tarly

Kicking his horse forward, he strays from the pathway. Winding up the sheer ice blocks that litter the area. At the end, the man pulls the beast to a halt. The horse's hooves clamoring on the surface below him. Yet the rider pays no attention to his mount. His gaze fixed ahead, of him, the boulders before him moves. With a creak, a head slowly turns around to face his way. It's dark eyeholes as cold as the ice itself. Despite the chill that grips him, a smile cracks its way onto his face. This is what he had come for.

Morbid spawn in steel and bolt, Powered by machine, its power in volt. Its size was a menace, its mask was death, That guard within in every breath. Empty shell in strength alone, Maker's creed, the source unknown. But brave or foolish, the souls then forth, To march for greed in the harsh bitter north. Only the light which shines in the darkest of places is the most dazzling

Transmission begins now. Forty-one. Yes, I feel hot. I feel hot, it’s all… it’s all hot. I can see a flame! I can see a flame! I can see a flame! Thirty-two… thirty-two. Am I going to crash? Yes, yes I feel hot… I am listening, I feel hot, I will re-enter. I’m hot!” -The lost cosmonaut's final words.

It is the strong who can hold on to morals even when there is no one left to see.

"Stand in the ashes of a trillion dead souls and ask the ghosts of the dead if honor matters. Their silence is your answer." - Javik

"What do you see?" The stranger asks, "I see a sea of red that seems to never end." "And what does honor mean?" "From what I've seen, it means nothing to me now."

Honor... what do you know about honor? You, whose never faced true fear. Learn what honor is before pretending you are a warrior. Know this, before you step into that thin red path where no misstep is allowed, a path that only ends when your legs fail to support you... when your heart stops beating, a path where sadness goes along with pain... where glory is the color of blood. This narrow path goes only one way, covered in enemies and brothers and it will take you without any shame unto the hands of death... for the name you were given and for your descendants... for Honor.

“What would you know of struggle, high born knight? When have you fought against the mutilation of your mind? When have you had to do anything other than tally compliance's and polish your armor? Your people named you Great One. My people called me slave! Which of us was born into a paradise of civilization to be raised by a noble father and given armies to lead after being trained by high lords? Which one of us inherited a strong, cultured kingdom? And which of us had to rise up against a kingdom with nothing but a horde of starving slaves? Which of us was a child enslaved at the hands of monsters, his mind cut up with carving knives? I listen to you and the rest of your pathetic wretches yelling on about courage and honor, courage and honor, courage and honor! Do you even know the meaning of those words? Courage is fighting the kingdom which enslaves you, no matter that their armies outnumber yours by ten-thousand to one. You know nothing of courage! Honor is resisting a tyrant when all others suckle and grow fat on the hypocrisy he feeds them. You know nothing of honor!”

"You would laugh monster. But let me remind you. Within this weak sack of meat and bone, uncared for by his god and wept for by none, beats a heart. A human heart, that carries with it the strength and courage of all mankind. Within that sack of meat is the hope, the will, and the fury of every man women and child from every corner of the Imperium. Within that weak sack of meat, festooned in thin armor and weapons only powerful in numbers , beats the heart of a man. And for ten thousand years, the hearts of men have beaten, strongly, in defiance of your so called "powers". "For ten thousand years, your black crusades have been pushed back, beaten down, and made a mockery of, by weak sacks of flesh with cheap weapons and disposable equipment. For that weak sack of flesh that you so gleefully mock is no supersoldier, no immortal warrior, no creature cursed by chaos like you. He is a man, an Imperial Gaurdsman drawn from some forgotten corner of the Imperium to fight for his species and for the safety of the people he loves." "He is a factory worker. a farmer, a storekeeper, a father, a brother, a son, a mere man. And against creatures like you teeming and numberless, powered by the wills of thirsting gods...He holds the line. He has held the line for ten thousand years. So what is your excuse, monster?"

I've never seen such speech that awakens the spirit of a dead soul than this for a longtime, even from a game,honor is something that a lot of people had forgot about, where you got to proudly defend it with your last blood,it would really give you the idea that men would never be defined as warriors but to protect the honor that had been giving by their descents and their families name itself,their death will be nothing but a new life in the other path that God will grand them they had granted their lives for him

Since an intelligence common to us all makes things known to us and formulates them in our minds, honorable actions are ascribed by us to virtue, and dishonorable actions to vice; and only a madman would conclude that these judgments are matters of opinion, and not fixed by nature

"This human mind wrote history, and this must read it. The Sphinx must solve her own riddle. If the whole of history is in one man, it is all to be explained from individual experience. There is a relation between the hours of our life and the centuries of time. As the air I breathe is drawn from the great repositories of nature, as the light on my book is yielded by a star a hundred millions of miles distant, as the poise of my body depends on the equilibrium of centrifugal and centripetal forces, so the hours should be instructed by the ages, and the ages explained by the hours."

"You have heard that it was said, 'Eye for eye, and a tooth for a tooth.' But I tell you, do not resist an evil person. If anyone slaps you on the right cheek, turn to them the other cheek also. And if anyone wants to sue you and take your shirt, hand over your coat as well. If anyone forces you to go one mile, go with them two miles. Give to the one who asks you, and does not turn away from the one who wants to borrow from you. You have heard that it was said, 'Love your neighbor and hate your enemy.' But I tell you, love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you, that you may be children of your Father in heaven. He causes his sun to rise on the evil and the good and sends rain on the righteous and the unrighteous. If you love those who love you, what reward will you get? Are not even the tax collectors doing that? And if you greet only your own people, what are you doing more than others? Do not even gentiles do that? Be perfect, therefore, as your heavenly Father is perfect." (Matthew 5:38-5:48)

"The world will little note, nor long remember what we say here, but it can never forget what they did here. It is for us the living, rather, to be dedicated here to the unfinished work which they who fought here have thus far so nobly advanced. It is rather for us to be here dedicated to the great task remaining before us—that from these honored dead we take increased devotion to that cause for which they gave the last full measure of devotion—that we here highly resolve that these dead shall not have died in vain—that this nation, under God, shall have a new birth of freedom—and that government of the people, by the people, for the people, shall not perish from the earth." — Abe Lincoln, The Gettysburg Address

He is a wound in the Force, more presence than flesh, and in his wake life dies… sacrificing itself to his hunger.- Visas Marr

There is no strength in the hunger he possesses… and the will behind his power is a primal thing. And it devours him as he devours others—his mere presence kills all around him, slowly, feeding him. He is already dead, it is simply a question of how many he kills before he falls." ―Kreia

Once I had a family.Once I had a life.Once I had a chance. Once I had a choice. I did what I had to do to protect the things I had but in doing so became the very thing I was trying to protect them from.

The ultimate weakness of violence is that it is a descending spiral, begetting the very thing it seeks to destroy. Instead of diminishing evil, it multiplies it. Through violence, you may murder the liar, but you cannot murder the lie, nor establish the truth. Through violence, you may murder the hater, but you do not murder hate. In fact, violence merely increases hate. So it goes. Returning violence for violence multiplies violence, adding deeper darkness to a night already devoid of stars.— Martin Luther King, Jr.

Be careful in the company of monsters that you don't become one.— Cindy Gerard, Take No Prisoners

I walk my own road. I have walked it for a lifetime. I have bared many sorrows and hardships. I have felt love, compassion, care, and understanding. I have learned not to take people in. But let them take cover under my wing. I have grown on others and others have grown on me. I have taught many people just as much as people have taught me. If I have learned one thing, though. It is that you walk your own road. Others may walk it with you. But no one can walk it for you.

All is burned and scattered. My trust has been betrayed. The price of all that mattered. Is the one that cannot be paid. I have buried all of the dead. But they have not gone in vain. For all that, I’ve suffered. I will bring them endless pain. My heart has grown cold. And my soul has become numb. I will have my vengeance. Now see what I’ve become.

As soon as men decide that all means are permitted to fight an evil, then their good becomes indistinguishable from the evil that they set out to destroy.— Christopher Dawson

We are all born with the same destiny: to be great. Now that can mean different things to different people, but to fail would be to die. Don't be average, don't be normal, be immortal. We will all die at some point, but those who choose to have an impact, who choose to have a story told through eons, those people are immortal. Make the world better than you found it.

“What really counted was the possibility of escape, a leap of freedom, out of the implacable ritual, a wild run for it that would give whatever chance for hope there was. Of course, hope meant being cut down on some street corner, as you ran like mad, by a random bullet. But when I really thought it through, nothing was going to allow me such a luxury. Everything was against it; I would just be caught up in the machinery again.”Albert Camus, The Stranger

Through action, a Man becomes a Hero. Through death, a Hero becomes a Legend. Through time, a Legend becomes a Myth and by learning from the myth a man takes action.

"You think size alone will grant you victory? Come! I will show you what true power is."

"Sir we're surrounded!" "Good, then we can fire in every direction"

"I am the lucid dream... The monster in your nightmares..."

Kharjo: "We have found a cave. I don't think we will find warm fires and friendly faces inside."

As she stares the giant in the eye, a sort of reckoning passes between them, and they know that if they don't kill the other, then they will die. The giant and the girl are now equal. They are enemies. They are legendary.

"The Horsemen are drawing nearer. On the leather steeds, they ride. They have come to take your life. On through the dead of night. With the four Horsemen ride Or choose your fate and die"— Metallica, "Four Horsemen"

Then I saw when the Lamb broke one of the seven seals, and I heard one of the four living creatures saying as with a voice of thunder, “Come.” I looked, and behold, a white horse and he who sat on it had a bow, and a crown was given to him, and he went out conquering and to conquer. Revelation 6:1-2

When He broke the second seal, I heard the second living creature saying, “Come.” And another, a red horse, went out; and to him who sat on it, it was granted to take peace from the earth, and that man would slay one another, and a great sword was given to him. Revelation 6:3-4

When He broke the third seal, I heard the third living creature saying, “Come.” I looked, and behold, a black horse; and he who sat on it had a pair of scales in his hand. And I heard something like a voice in the center of the four living creatures saying, “A quart of wheat for a denarius, and three quarts of barley for a denarius; but do not damage the oil and the wine.” Revelation 6:5-6

When the Lamb broke the fourth seal, I heard the voice of the fourth living creature saying, “Come.” I looked, and behold, an ashen horse; and he who sat on it had the name Death, and Hades was following with him. Authority was given to them over a fourth of the earth, to kill with sword and with famine and with pestilence and by the wild beasts of the earth. Revelation 6:7-8

He who is reckless can be killed. — 8th chapter: Nine Changes

"The rising of birds in their flight is the sign of an ambuscade. Startled beasts indicate that a sudden attack is coming." - IX, 22

Thus, though we have heard of stupid haste in war, cleverness has never been seen associated with long delays.— 2nd chapter: Waging War

“Appear weak when you are strong, and strong when you are weak.” ― Sun Tzu, The Art of War

"All warfare is based on deception". ― Sun Tzu, The Art of War

“If you know the enemy and know yourself, you need not fear the result of a hundred battles. If you know yourself but not the enemy, for every victory gained you will also suffer a defeat. If you know neither the enemy nor yourself, you will succumb in every battle.” ― Sun Tzu, The Art of War

“All warfare is based on deception. Hence, when we are able to attack, we must seem unable; when using our forces, we must appear inactive; when we are near, we must make the enemy believe we are far away; when far away, we must make him believe we are near.” ― Sun Tzu, The Art of War

“If your enemy is secure at all points, be prepared for him. If he is in superior strength, evade him. If your opponent is temperamental, seek to irritate him. Pretend to be weak, that he may grow arrogant. If he is taking his ease, give him no rest. If his forces are united, separate them. If sovereign and subject are in accord, put a division between them. Attack him where he is unprepared, appear where you are not expected .” ― Sun Tzu, The Art of War

“To know your Enemy, you must become your Enemy.” ― Sun Tzu

"The preparation of mantlets, movable shelters, and various implements of war will take up three whole months, and the piling up of mounds over against the walls will take three months more. The general, unable to control his irritation, will launch his men to the assault like swarming ants, with the result that one-third of his men are slain while the town still remains untaken. Such are the disastrous effects of a siege." ― Sun Tzu

"The perfect plan approaches the Formlessness (or indecipherability) If it is formless then best-informed spy cannot uncover it, nor the wisest plan against it." ― Sun Tzu

"Throw the troops into a position from which there is no escape, and even when faced with death they will not flee." — Sun Tzu

“When the enemy is relaxed, make them toil. When full, starve them. When settled, make them move.” ― Sun Tzu, The Art of War

“When you surround an army, leave an outlet free. Do not press a desperate foe too hard.” ― Sun Tzu, The Art of War

“Even the finest sword plunged into salt water will eventually rust.” ― Sun Tzu

Panic is the seed of defeat, so you must maintain your calm and think logically. Remain calm, look beyond your surroundings, and don’t waste your effort on unnecessary details

Turmoil is the failure of a country, you must always maintain a level-headed and logical way of thinking. Keep calm, plan ahead, and don't waste your time thinking about insignificant things

"Do the unexpected, attack the unprepared."- Zhuge Liang

"Those who are skilled in combat do not become angered, those who are skilled at winning do not become afraid. Thus the wise win before they fight, while the ignorant fight to win."- Zhuge Liang

"The loss of any army is always caused by underestimating the enemy. Therefore gather information and watch the enemy carefully." - Zhuge Liang

You can't escape life, only to conqueror it to some percentage since really we all are a slave to life's whim.

Foolish mortal...life is our own slave, the only things that bound a mortal into becoming a slave is one's own desires...you mortals are your own slaves and life is your toy, choose whether to play with it properly or destroy it...its all in the palm of your hands muahahahahaha.

"Every man and woman alive is a slave to something." -Askeladd

“It means that his loyalty was greater than his fear. Unglaus-sama, humans are able to display an incredible power if it is for those who are important to them. Like how a mother raises a pillar to save her child trapped in a house, like how a husband supports his wife with one hand when she is about to fall, I believe that is the strength of humans. This person here as well, he displayed that strength. And he is not alone in this. If you have something that you would not trade for anything, then Unglaus-sama will be able to display a power greater than what you have come to expect from yourself.”- Sebas Tian

“…What is raised alone will be weak. After all, it will be over once you yourself are broken. Instead, if you build yourself up with another, if you can give your all to someone else, then even if you are broken you will not fall.” - Sebas Tian

“…It is fortunate that you did not die from shock. There are times when the body so strongly believes that it is dead that it forfeits its ability to sustain life.” - Sebas Tian

“Repeating this several times will allow you to overcome most fears. But you must be cautious. Fear is what triggers the survival instinct. If it becomes completely paralyzed, then you will be unable to recognize even the most obvious of dangers. You must be able to distinguish between them.” - Sebas Tian

Goblin Slayer: "The imagination is a weapon. Those who fail to use it, die first."

Archaon the Everchosen: Your God-King does this to you. You feel the hopelessness of his failure. Abandon him as he has abandoned you.

Archaon the Everchosen: They serve themselves, as do I. The world is not fit for man or god. All will fall and burn for me. I will be the Lord of the End-Times. The harbinger of doom for all — man and god — for in a world of the slain, with no men, no savages, no ancients of the elder races to pray to them and erect their temples, what will become of these gods, their heroes, and their daemons?

By these lands that are equivalent to death, stand your ground until your last no mercy to the enemy at hand, for you may see what is truly bland, these hands you see can always weep as you bleed, for infection will leave nothing by any means. Fight for this oncoming plague for you are not vague, turn the world into a hellish plain in which humans could never gain.

An agent that creeps into your body and feeds off your negative energy, silently eating away at your body from the inside. You don't notice it until it grows too big to be unnoticeable. It will claim your body, your mind, and your emotions, gripping you in its tight control. Like a shadow, it makes no sound as it stalks you. Or a time bomb, ticking away the seconds as it gets closer to the point of exploding. A virus can be anything really. Not just an infectious agent, but greed or anger. Even fear.

The toughest virus of all is when the great fall. As the heroes around them kneel, the people will make the end deal. But give not into spite, and everything will be alright. Fight to your last breath, and what awaits may not be death.

May our world, full of plague and darkness, have a shining light in our heart.

She is the bringer of Death, she is there, at your last breath. Armies cannot stop her power, even the greatest men cower. Even today she is still frightening, as she appears like lightning.

My fury feeds on my battle. Striking with my powerful firsts. I shake the world with my anger. I bring fear to my enemies. I dealt my rage onto armies. I bring death for the merciful. I bring Plague to the World.

As the plague spreads across the edges of our withering world I look ahead steeling my nerves as this behemoth charges toward me. Only unyielding resolve will give me the strength to push onward through any obstacle that blocks my path, I will bring down this corrupt hierarchy that oppresses our people. "I may surrender my weapons, even my body, but my spirit will not submit!" These would be the last words I speak to the setting sun.

All over the city, people were running in fear. "They're back..." I muttered as I pulled on my battle gear. As the gloves clicked onto my arm, a man ran past, screaming hysterically about not wanting to die. I walked out of my house, hideout, room, call it whatever you like. It wasn't fit for humans to live. None of the humans here had anywhere else to live anymore. The cyborgs, materializations of mankind's fears, had taken over, leaving this city the only one liveable in. Well, at least up till 5 minutes ago. They managed to infiltrate the city's defense and now rampaged through the city, destroying anything and everything. Even the military had not been of much help. We couldn't rely on anyone else to fight them off. But including myself, there were others who were willing to fight. Just like me, they had battle gear that gave them the strength to do so. A loud crash sounded ahead and looking up, I came face-to-face with one of the larger cyborgs I've seen heading straight towards me. "Bring it," I smirked, my fists clenched and ready to strike. The cyborgs were killing us off by the hundreds. Just like a plague, taking lives indiscriminately. They had to go if mankind wanted to survive. And that meant fighting the fears that plagued us. Especially the fear of death.

It's Slow and Gripping, A deadly seed that Tunnels, That's what we call Plague.

No men, women, child or beast can withstand the plague...it's everywhere and nowhere...it brings you to your knees and brings you death...a slow and painful death...maybe the gods created it to punish us? but who says they can withstand it...

Hell...I am used to war. Used to give orders that could send thousands of man to their death, orders that would decide the outcome of a battle but still... I get cold chills every time before contact. It’s the eerie feeling that creeps up on me. Have I done the right thing? Have I factored in every single possibility? Questions that haunt me every time, relentlessly, as the sensors do their sweeps of the sector. Silence becomes pressure. Are they hiding behind the debris of the old ships, are they masking their fighters in the floating debris? Have they established an intercept orbit around the gas giant? Hmm... where... are they? Suddenly all alarms go off, everyone starts running, manning their posts. Intel is flowing around, voices left and right shooting telemetry data, fleet strength and numbers. Speculation becomes reality, calculations, and forecasts overthrown and rearranged. And amidst all this ordered chaos I hear the voice of my first officer, trembling in fear as he finally realizes that we are outnumbered and outgunned, uttering one single fearful phrase:...”They are here…”

I counted how many bullets I had left and I saw in the Distance my comrades are slowly being picked off one by one we lost HQ and haven't received any orders from the pentagon we assume we were left behind I couldn't care less if I have anything to say it's been an honor... (BANG)!

As I walked into the ready room to suit up, A weird sensation crept down my spine,... every day had felt the same, except... today. As I sat down for the commanders briefing my mind drifted wondering what the day would bring. I completely missed the point of the briefing in the process. Next thing I know we're being ordered to our fighters. I climb the boarding ladder and sit in the cockpit, The biosensors close the canopy and I flip on the displays and start the engines. As the life support starts feeding oxygen into my suit I still find myself distracted. We get the call from the command deck notifying us the start our takeoff sequence. I raise the throttle and I feel the ship start to lift. We get the call to take off and form up. I set the throttle and feel the acceleration. We leave the base information wing to wing. As my ship climbs through 18 thousand feet I feel cold. The lead ship calls over the communications circuit. We've got contacts on the grav. I scan my display and it lights up with 7 contacts. The chill in my spine reaches a climax, As my wing lead screams into the comm with a fearful voice my eyes widen and I realize... They Are Here.

"They say that battle changes you. It makes you stronger, more ferocious. A monster in the night, watching, learning, hunting. Each time I enter the pit I emerge reborn. Put the devil on the other side and I will show up, evolved, adapted, and prepared to fight."

A deep fog sets over the trenches. the guns go silent, the music starts. Slowly, silhouttes emerge from the fog. The roaring of engines can be heard, and then slowly emerges Imperial German troops and A7v tanks along with a Zeppelin towering overhead. With gas masks on, the sound of distant guns can be heard, and then more, and more, and then the fog lifts... Showing a massive scale assault on the Allied trenches.

I AM THE BEGINNING OF THE END! THE SHADOW WHICH BLOTS OUT THE SUN! THE BELL WHICH TOLLS YOUR DOOM! LOOK UPON YOUR DEATH MORTALS AND DESPAIR!

"First, I will tell you the two words I hate the most. They are 'justice' and 'peace'. Let me just say that I do not plan to bind you all into slavery or anything like that. Not at all. In fact, I want you to do anything you want. I'm going to abolish every law enforcement agency. You can steal, destroy, injure, and murder! No one will stop you! Evil shall be unfettered!! Those who brandish the sword of justice shall be exterminated by my demons! This will be a glorious world of terror and hate!!" : King Piccolo's ultimate plan in Dragon Ball

"Now, the world shall be my plaything! I shall bring about an age of fear and chaos! And it shall be glorious!"— Dr. Eggman Nega, Sonic Rush Adventure

"Can't you imagine it? A garden of evil blooming with rage and pain? So beautiful." —Towa, Dragon Ball Xenoverse 2

Then mankind would have become as the Great Old Ones; free and wild and beyond good and evil, with laws and morals are thrown aside and all men shouting and killing and reveling in joy. Then the liberated Old Ones would teach them new ways to shout and kill and revel and enjoy themselves, and all the earth would flame with a holocaust of ecstasy and freedom.

"And so the mortal world fell away into oblivion. The gnawing rift at the heart of Mankind's domain devoured reality. Slowly it spread at first, but then with the hunger of ravening wildfires. Invigorated, the polar rifts slipped their ancient bounds and joined their younger sibling in its feast. The peoples of the World beheld their doom and screamed in despair. No two watchers beheld the same vision. Some saw skies riven with fire, some looked upon an ice-cold maelstrom of stars, some saw colossal tentacles and fanged maws that drooled the molten stuff of Chaos. Perhaps the Chaos Gods raised their champions to daemonhood from the battles that raged amongst the flames. It matters little, for the truth of those hopeless wars is lost. The Oak of Ages was swallowed last of all. Mournful dryad-song echoed under livid skies as Athel Loren perished. With its destruction, the Weave that bound the time and space together thinned and stretched. Twisted by unnatural energies, it dissolved entirely into nothingess. That terrible act of uncreation might have taken the blink of an eye, or unfold across millenia. The Dark Gods were not fettered by the flow of time, and let it pass unmarked. Already tired of their victory, they turned away from the ruin they have wrought and began the Great Game anew in other worlds and other creations. In doing so, they paid no heed to the tiny speck of light tumbling in the infinite darkness -- the glowing essence of what had once been a man. Through the storm of nothingness, he fell, adrift for eons upon unseen tides. Then came a glimmering orb, a fiery world-heart grown cold as the abyss. Desperate, the figure seized upon the sphere with a grip that could shatter mountains. He stared into the void, and from the darkness, the void stared back. The figure clung tight, marshaling his fading strength. He reached forth his hand, and a miracle took shape...These were truly the End Times"

"It is the 41st Millennium. For more than a hundred centuries The Emperor has sat immobile on the Golden Throne of Terra. He is the Master of Mankind by the will of the gods, and master of a million worlds by the might of his inexhaustible armies. He is a rotting carcass writhing invisibly with power from the Dark Age of Technology. He is the dyeing Carrion Lord of the Imperium for whom a thousand souls are sacrificed every day, so that he may never truly die." "Yet even in his deathless state, the Emperor continues his eternal vigilance. Mighty battlefleets cross the daemon-infested miasma of the Warp, the only route between distant stars, their way lit by the Astronomican, the psychic manifestation of the Emperor's will. Vast armies give battle in his name on uncounted worlds. Greatest amongst his soldiers are the Adeptus Astartes, the Space Marines, bio-engineered super-warriors. Their comrades in arms are legion: The Imperial Guard and countless planetary defense forces, the ever-vigilant Inquisition and the Tech-Priests of Mars to name only a few. But for all their multitudes, they are barely enough to hold off the ever-present threats from heretics, mutants, xenos, monsters, - and -far - far - worse!" "To be a man in such times is to be one amongst untold trillions. It is to live in the cruellest and most bloodthirsty regime imaginable. These are the tales of those times. Forget the power of technology and science, for so much has been forgotten, never to be re-learned. Forget the promise of progress and understanding, for in the grim dark future of 41st Millennium there -is -only -war. There is no peace amongst the stars, only an eternity of carnage and slaughter, and the echoing laughter of thirsting Dark Gods.""But the universe is a big place and, whatever happens, you will not be missed."— The standard intro to every Imperium-centered written work from the 40K universe, first spoken by Vulkan, Primarch of the XVIII Legion

"A hundred thousand worlds, ten hundred thousand wars. There is no escape, no respite, no hope for victory." — Warhammer 40,000

"There is a tower in the Emperor's palace called the Tower of Heroes, a black tower that rises into the sky like a spike. At the summit of that tower hangs the Bell of Lost Souls. It is an ancient thing, massive as a building and adorned with dark runes, its peal like the scream of an anguished god. It is tolled but once when a great hero of the Imperium dies. Its wailing moan of grief lasts long and reaches the ears of millions, and its tones penetrate the unifying ether of humanity, turning the thoughts of countless billions towards mankind's loss." — Warhammer 40,000

"From the palaces of Holy Terra, the High Lords of the Imperium watch as their domain crumbles. Armies and fleets fight on with the valor of heroes, calling out for reinforcements that do not exist. In shattered cathedrals on a million worlds, Imperial citizens pray with the desperation of the damned, begging their immortal emperor for a salvation they shall never see. As the lines of battle come ever closer to Terra, the light of the Emperor fades and darkness drowns all." — Warhammer 40,000

"Trillions of soldiers march to battle on worlds uncounted. Thousands upon thousands of warships scour the vastness of space in a futile attempt to impose man's will upon the fathomless void. And such it has been for ten thousand years, who can guess what tales of unimaginable valor are there to be told? Of depthless faith, of selfless sacrifice and unshakable duty? Those who have died in the Emperor's service are said to outnumber the stars themselves, the Emperor, it is said, knows the name of every single faithful servant, but who can guess the mind of divinity? And for the living, entire worlds have been made into monuments of remembrance, and yet for every hero commemorated, a million martyrs die unmourned and unremembered." — Warhammer 40,000

"Each city ruined, each planet burned brings the Imperium a little closer to dissolution. In a empire of a million worlds, how much can one truly matter? Enough to defend each one against the infernal host, enough to bring down Exterminatus upon those who bend knee and bow before the dark ones. A Black Crusade may come crashing forth from the Eye only once in a thousand years, but the damage it inflicts can never be undone." — Warhammer 40,000

"Too much blood has been spilled over the centuries for there to be peace between us. As they mistrust and fear mankind, we revile and hate them. No matter how many we destroy, yet more heretofore unknown aliens appear. As this galaxy wheels toward its final, fateful cataclysm, we are doomed to die - our hands locked around each other's throats and squeezing the life out of each other as the universe dies!" — Warhammer 40,000

''"In the grim darkness of the far future, there is only war." —Tagline, Warhammer 40,000

Sometimes the only victory possible is to keep your opponent from winning.—The Emperor of Mankind, Warhammer 40,000

"Whether I am victorious or slain... my sins will know retribution." Warhammer 40,000

And what is this path? This meaning, this purpose to which we gather the skulls of our foes? It is nothing. There is no meaning, no purpose. We murder. We kill. It is mindless savagery, this UNIVERSE IS MINDLESS! Warhammer 40,000

Horus lay dying, he remarked. "Sanguinius. It should have been him. He has the vision and strength to carry us to victory, and the wisdom to rule once victory is won. For all his aloof coolness, he alone has the Emperor's soul in his blood. Each of us carries part of our father within us, whether it is his hunger for battle, his psychic talent or his determination to succeed. Sanguinius holds it all. It should have been his."

I am the Hammer, I am the edge of His Sword, I am the point of His Spear, I am the mail about His Fist, I am the flight of His Arrows, I am the right hand of my Emperor, I am the instrument of His will, I am His Sword as He is my Armor, I am His Wrath and He is my Zeal, I am the Bane of His Foes and the Woes of the Treacherous, Let us be His Shield, Let us speak His Word as He fuels the Fire of Devotion, Let us fight His Battles, as He fights the Battle at the end of time, And let us join Him there, for Duty ends not in Death, In Vengeance be true, In Valor be Strong, I am the Hammer, I am the Sword, I am the Spear, I am the Shield, I am the soldier at the End of Time.

They shall be my finest warriors, these men who give of themselves to me. Like clay I shall mould them, and in the furnace of war forge them. They will be of iron will and steely muscle. In great armour shall I clad them and with the mightiest guns will they be armed. They will be untouched by plague or disease, no sickness will blight them. They will have tactics, strategies and machines so that no foe can best them in battle. They are my bulwark against the Terror. They are the Defenders of Humanity. — Emperor of Mankind

They shall be pure of heart and strong of body, unsullied by doubt and untainted by self-aggrandizement. They will be bright stars in the firmament of battle. Angels of death whose swift wings bring extermination to the enemies of man. So it shall be for a thousand times a thousand years, unto the end of eternity and the extinction of mortal flesh. — Roboute Guilliman

"We do not know what our chances of survival are, so we fight as if they were zero. We do not know what we are facing, so we fight as if it was the dark gods themselves. No one will remember us now and we may never be buried beneath Titan, so we will build our own memorial here. The Chapter might lose us and the Imperium might never know we existed, but the Enemy — the Enemy will know. The Enemy will remember. We will hurt it so badly that it will never forget us until the stars burn out and the Emperor vanquishes it at the end of time. When Chaos is dying, its last thought will be of us. That is our memorial — carved into the heart of Chaos. We cannot lose, Grey Knights. We have already won." — Justicar Alaric

"None can stand in our way, for we are the Space Marines."

We are the Space Marines! The Emperors' chosen warriors! For every one of us that falls in battle, ONE THOUSAND ENEMIES SHALL DIE!"

"The enemies of man shall die. By my hand they will be broken.

"Inveniam viam aut faciam(I will either find a way, or I shall make one)."

"Exitus Actas Probat - the Outcome Justifies the Deed."

"That which is unknown and unseen always commands the greatest fear."

"To assume the shape of the accursed and deliver death from the purity within you."

"Fear me, for I am your apocalypse."

"Ask not for whom they seek, lest it be thyself."

"Pain is an illusion of the senses, despair an illusion of the mind."

"Innocence Proves Nothing".

We die standing.

We are the Imperial Guard. We are are the Hammer of the Emperor, by the virtue of fighting wars as unforgivingly as a Hammer strike to the face.

Your foe is well equipped, well-trained, battle-hardened. He believes his gods are on his side. Let him believe what he will. We have the tanks on ours. To each of us falls a task. And all the Emperor requires of us Guardsmen is that we stand in line, and we die fighting. It is what we do best: we die standing. For every hero commemorated, a thousand martyrs die unmourned and unremembered. MORE MEN! MORE TANKS!

"Where I fall ten more shall take my place! And one-hundred each of them! So strike me down! I am the harbinger!"- Ollanius Pius

"This is our galaxy. Ours to corrupt. Ours to enslave. The gods will not be denied their prize."

Hate shall be our weapon.

Impurity shall be our armor.

Immortality shall be our reward.

SANITY IS FOR THE WEAK!

To follow any path other than the Tau'va is to doom us all. Only together and with courage and discipline shall we stand victorious. Fight with fire and courage and nothing can stand against us.

I do not fear death. Death fears ME!

"I shall know no fear, for I am fear incarnate!"

War is my master, Death my mistress.

They are my Space Marines and they shall know no fear.

My armor is contempt. My shield is disgust. My sword is hatred. In the Emperor's name, let none survive.

"In the darkness, I shall be light. In times of doubt, I shall keep faith. In throes of rage, I shall hone my craft. In vengeance, I shall have no mercy. In the midst of battle, I shall have no fear. In the face of death, I shall have no remorse."—Narrator, Announcement Trailer of Dawn of War III

"No matter who we are or where we come from...we would all fall into the same pit of death.

"Time waits for no one."

We are the unsung heroes. We are the names you never knew, and will never remember. We are the faces that you never thought about. We are the ones you will forget who we are. But we are the ones who will fight for the better of humanity. We are the ones who will accomplish the impossible. We are the ones who are willing to fight. And in the end, if we die, if everyone forgets, we will know that's not quite true. For the time will remember us.

Time will remember this age and the people in it. They will look back and see how gullible, lazy, and pathetic we are, they will look back and regret that our ancestors didn't care, that because they were going to die anyways they should do what they like. Time will remember us as the age of destruction, one of the major time periods leading up to the war, and to the end. They will see us and cry and shake their heads in disappointment. They will see one of the most corrupt ages, one of the most disgusting, greedy, ignorant, and careless ages. They will look back and see that because we didn't open our eyes and stand, the world is where it is today.Time will remember us. Know that.

The lone warrior sits atop the ruined mountain and says to the one beside the warrior "Listen after today the war will be over either me or that madman will die today" the person beside the warrior says "I'm confident you will win Alpha." Alpha proceeds to say "thank you for believing in me even if I die and people forgot me time will remember me"

Time will remember us. Time is that reality that exists without any bounds, no one can stop his flow, it will continue as long as it wishes. As atheists, they think that this life is all there is, but me as a Muslim I believe that this life is just a test. The real existence is the hereafter which is eternal and everlasting. God will bring the world and everything to an end and then will resurrect us from the dead and there will be a judgment day, last day where Humanity will have to atone for its actions on earth. Paradise will be given to the righteous and good people and they will dwell in there for eternity.

We may envy the children of the future for the world they now live in, but allow them to envy us for the world we created for the parents of their world, let us be their guardians, for even if man does not remember our actions know that is irrelevant, for time will remember us, and so your actions will not go without consequence, and so I ask of you that you should allow time to remember you not as greedy and ignorant and without care, but as those who striven to make a difference in this world not for the better of man but rather mankind.

The sun creeps over the horizon. Time is up. Angst weighs heavily in the air as a miraculous thought passes through my mind. It has provided me with the will to fight; to go on through this wretched hour of injustice. A light allowing me to see past the battlefield of corpses filled with hate. We won't be forgotten. Our acts of heroism will not drift aimlessly into the abyss. Our beliefs will not dissolve, and our hearts will empower the weak. We won't be forgotten.

I am Time. But who is my true self? Is it a She? He? Or a beast or a child of nature? Am I simply a tool for the world to keep itself in steady hands? Or am I truly necessary to the people of this wretched, yet beautiful world? I would not know.

Now that I think through it, there is only one solution to my questions as it is. My true and inner-self are also Time, just like I am. We make one. But surely I will disappear and be forgotten. No worries, though. "Time" will remember the world and me.

Men were either drafted or captivated by the promise of glory and honor fighting and dying for their country. That was the worst mistake they ever could have made. Children as young as 12 would lie their way into the ranks, and learn the horrors of the trenches. The poor conditions, the might of the German Military, the odds completely stacked against them, forced to charge past enemy lines and get plucked one by one by MGs. The mental instability these men and children suffered after the war, going into a state of often permanent insanity. Though the war may have ended, no one was the victor. Everyone lost something.

The Germans lost their military force and went into an economic depression. Millions of French soldiers died protecting their homeland. Britain lost the pride they kept for years, almost cracking to multiple German offensives, having to rely on the country that defeated them in a separate war just 140 years earlier. Even America lost something: around 140 American soldiers enlisted in the French Army, losing their lives in the defense of France.

And, just 20 years after the Treaty of Versailles, Hitler became the leader of the Third Reich and forced France to surrender, taking the country they lost millions fighting to protect 20 years earlier. America lost 3 ships docked in Pearl Harbor, and three more were critically damaged. Britain lost many civilians to heavy bombing from the German Luftwaffe. Japan's two major cities, Hiroshima and Nagasaki, both of which weren't targeted by American bombing, were obliterated by the first functioning nuclear weapons, killing millions and leaving the modern world with a new branch of Cancer: Leukemia. Russia lost tens of millions of soldiers defending Leningrad and Stalingrad. Russian citizens were used as human shields and prevented evacuation by Stalin. Millions of Jewish citizens in Germany were killed in the "Final Solution": The Holocaust.

Too many people were killed for either side to claim victory. So many horrible atrocities were committed by soldiers during both wars. Soldiers ripped gas masks from the wounded to escape from the relentless chemical bombings. Chinese citizens were impaled during a separate war between Japan and China. China intentionally destroyed a dam, killing its own citizens, to try and slow down Japan. Germany and Japan experimented on many ethnic groups, most popular being the experiments conducted at German concentration camps.

Only death. Only destruction. Only sorrow. Only atrocities.

War is stupid. fighting each other to prove that they are right. War doesn't determine who is right, but it determines who is left.

Dearest Marie, as the war Ends of me, I have no regrets. I have seen too much horror. I hope fate has been more merciful to you. Our time on Earth is brief. And mine has been filled with so much joy, that I can only be thankful for how much I have been blessed. Most especially, the wonders you brought into my life. This letter is my Last. I have been found guilty by the military court for the death of an officer. It was not my intention to kill him. War makes men mad. Though I failed Karl, I know my sacrifice has not been in my vain. I fought for my country and my liberty. My honor is assured. Since it is the will of God to separate us on Earth, I hope we'll meet again in heaven. Keep me in your prayers.Your loving papa, Always.

To my dearest friends, Through the Evil noise of artillery, tanks, and planes, I remember our adventures, our friendship, and our pain. My closest friend Amile, In your twilight years, you came to fight, not for glory, but to dry your daughter's tears. Lucky Freddy, You were always fearless, and with intent, I hope you found peace, in your letters, that were never sent. Anna, My bravest of warriors along the western front, saving the mountain of wounded, without firing a single shot. And Carl, If only I could light your way home, through the fields of war through treacherous nights, to be with your family once more. Although I cannot write these words, and the time has come to part, Your stories shall always remain, as will your valiant hearts.
