::A rippling, glass curtain to their right as the rain advances. . . Blue fracture lines within the clouds . . . The temperature plummeting, three steady pace, the world of a monochromatic backdrop now . . .
Gonging thunder, flashing white, the curtain flaring toward us now . . . Two hundred meters . . . One-fifty . . . Enough!
I looked to my right and saw my brother Random, to my left was my brother Brand. Fifty light Calvary followed us.
The next hill was taken as the horses' began to foam, I pushed Star harder and harder. Something within me was willing to trade his life, to get to the edge of the cliff, a good half-mile off.
My brothers, to, kept the pase. As we rode along, our sweat blended with that of our horses, we gleamed like three centaur like creatures.
It had been an unseen turn in the rode of life. Oberon had given Rhydin as my sphere, made me one with it and everything in it. At the hills of everything that has happened so far. All of my brothers and one of my sisters, were helping me get my forces into it and keep them there.
As Star gave way and fell dead. I stood up and began to run as fast as I could, as fast as I ever have. My brothers dismounted and followed suit. I finally reached to peak and was most pleased at what I saw.
My ground forces 12,000,000, strong had reached the borders of Rhydin. My fleet braced up, by a half over Bleys and Caine's fleets combined. Sailing off shore, the fleet was farther out than could be seen, yet it's flank was almost ashore.
The column of men, would take another eight days, to stop coming. My life was here.::
"When will the temple be built?" I asked Random. "Three hours at tops." He replied. "The fort in six." I smiled at that thought. "Soon, Brother, this will be your home." He said. "Not soon enough." I replied.
A new life

::He slowly formed in his temple, finished, on a hill overlooking all of Rhydin. He saw the golden chain on his statue, binding the god where he belonged, but giving him unsurpassed powers. He stepped to the door, and went out under the overhang of the roof. He leaned against one of the pillars. His troops busy all around, building his future. Soon they would turn north and expand Rhydin's borders.
His fleet, would push out and take the seas, or as much as could be taken. Yet as his life that he had asked for, formed around him, he thought of her. As he overlooked his protectorate, his mind tried to find a sign of her. He was left with the words, and with the smell, she had given him. He turned back towards the temple.::
"So much, yet so little. I have everything I could ever want, but not what I need."
