The radiation of Mana flows freely through the land, scorching all heresy from the face of this corruption. Only Aegis and the innocent are unscathed. No false idols, no corrupt priesthood. No liars.

Excalibur, that which pierces the darkness with an unyielding shatter of light. And yet when I stand there, in the midst of a Colosseum – Nay an Earth full of people. One Billion were now nothing.

Nothing but flowers. As I stand in the glossy midnight glow, the sun setting behind me... This land is mine. Pitch Hatred pours from the moonlight, into the stalks of my wooden wings.

Those once glistening wings of light, of flower petals like a stained glass painting, dripped with blood red.
