The mountain abides
through tumult and pain
in ages of sorrow
the peaks will remain
silent and steady
as storm and seas rage
the mountain abides
its long war to wage,
against the long chaos
of nation and chance,
that silence proceeds
the mountain’s advance.
Battered bronze to catch the sun
still shining as the day is won
held in ranks of mighty spears
and shields to hold throughout the years.
To beating drums, the march is kept
steady where a fool has leapt
the phalanx braced against the rush
kills the foe amid the crush.
Now drop the pikes to level spread
and show them where this path has led
charge in step with every man
watch them scatter, if they can.

By Air the Land is Watched
“Who thinks He is God.”
The majority of the Aves Semper Vigilantes (ASV) Security Group (Eagles) forces are ground based: Infantry, Artillery, Armoured and Cavalry. However, any modern military force in the present age has some sort of aerial ability, either fixed or rotary wing. Helicopters may have been put in with the ground forces, as their ability to hover and land gives them the ability to contest ground, opposed to the passing nature of the aircraft. The Air Units of the Eagles are based on the flying artillery principle, with limited air superiority capabilities. However, this does not make them artillery, and as like many air forces, there is cavalry swagger to the ‘Air Cavalry’.
Due to the nature of the Eagle's forces, that they are an international force spread out over many different countries, the air force is largely concerned with the transportation of land forces, reconnaissance and providing close air support to Eagle forces. Reconnaissance aircraft are largely
Sweet New Dragon: VaderionI have an idea for an awesome new dragon named Vaderion. I don't have an official size set in stone for him, but I based him largely on a TIE fighter. His roar is the awesome screech the ship makes in flight, his wings absorb and store sunlight, and he spits green fire. My original idea was to have him eat other dragons, but then I thought: "Why not have him eat metal?" So he eats metal, with the help of corrosive acid produced by his teeth.

The Lord of Nowhere
The Lord of Nowhere- In the realm where dreams die and the lost end up wandering forever and ever in a gray limbo resembling a broken yet familiar world which many people of every time period once knew, full of broken empires and ideas, and ruined empty streets and decayed buildings, there is something dark and silent that rules this realm. It is the "Shadow", an evil born as the dark reflection of the Ruler of Death, an aspect of it that broke away, betrayed the Goddess of Creation, and because it was so dangerous, was sealed...and only fears one thing, the spider's curse that hunted down and destroyed it's brothers, the other traitors, the other "aspects" of each of the 22 great warriors that betrayed the heavens. The Lord of Nowhere resembles a large horse like being of pulsating darkness with blade-like feet like swords and a long, long neck that resembles a massive earthworm's mouth on the end. It stalks this empty decayed world, feeding on the forgotten, the lost, the discarded

The Lusitanian Mountain God Dercetius, who on Earth was known in the areas of Gallaecia (Galicia) and Lusitania and Extramadura in Portugal and Spain were inscriptions of him were found in Braga/ Bracara/ Bracara Augusta, the Roman capital of Gallaecia. The Gallaecian and Lusitanian world of Braga under Lord Dercetius was a rocky, dry mountainous and hill mining and smith worlds with industries to produce weapons and armor, both for his very own Jaffa Guards, as well as those of others for his Celtic System Lord Camulus. The Portuguese Stargate Command was most interested in the stockpile of additional Jaffa armor, Staff Weapons, Zat, Trinium and Naquadah on the world which would go to High Lords and ultimately the System Lord they all served to equip his armies and fuel his war machine.

Soul Soldier 035: Taurus
Soul Soldier 035 Activated
Primary Function: Ottoman Heavy Hitter
Description: This mighty iron minotaur was designed partly as a reference to the Greek myth, and partly as a guardian to the Ottoman Empire, originally meant to fight in the name of the sultan Suleiman the Magnificent. However a shipping delay occurred due to a disrupt in trade caused by the stubborn Christian populations on the Mediterranean islands, especially places such as Rhodes and Malta. The result was Suleiman died before Taurus even stepped into what is now Istanbul.
As for what he has going for him, Taurus has skin that's made of a mix of aluminum, silicon, and titanium, creating an impenetrable armor deflect most projectiles. He’s armed with a double-bladed ax, and can throw it like a boomerang.
He’s not the best strategist, preferring to charge into enemies rather than think about the odds, but when you’re as strong as him, brains and technique are more of a suggestion.

Dragon knight CH4p12
With the light of dawn and the passing of the conflict the world beyond Dagon Irl began to die. Ezarion did not appear after the battle, only four silver birds appearing before each of the guardians. Each baring the same message, “the battle is done. Come to the throne of Dagon Irl and stand before me.” With nowhere else to go the various peoples, guided by their seneschals and the guardians, would make their way inward.
Through the misty forests eventually the four peoples would converge upon the ruined village. Tension and unease hung in the air as the people followed their seneschals into this mist shrouded land. Guided by strangers they eventually converged at the center.
From there the seneschal, the guardians, and the two children in their company approached the only standing building that remained. the towering doors, now resting open and oddly welcoming, despite their decrepit state.
Inside the group would pause at the sight of three individuals kneeling before the throne at
The Europe's Last shall remember
By dusk moaning and sunrise sober
How Eye Of Dawn was slain
In a crimson morn in October—
When twelve worms of earth spewed fire
At their maggot thane's 'Ahoy!',
When their dolmens bloomed with poppies,
And their Fenris howled with joy.
When Wotan hugged Taranis
On a savage blood-lapping spree—
When falcatas rattled in barrows
Crying to break out free.
Above the waters of Carpia,
Where Nameless Gods reside,
Each daybreak Sons of Phoenix
Come out clouds to ride.
They whirl over the river,
Their mantles flame in the sun
In a grinding dance with their sister,
The phantom Eye Of Dawn.
They leap above the far Frisia,
They spin over the Stonehenge,
Beware, crawlers out of Asia—
Upon their wings flies Revenge.

Monsober 28: Ogre Bat and Orc Bat
The Ogre Bat is a species of giant bat that lives in the Primal Universe. But have found their way in our world too. They now roam Australia, Indonesia, Thailand, India, and New Zealand. They live very large colonies and most their roosts in giant caves. They are green but are related to the man bats and their species. But are a lot worse. And unlike most bats, they are diurnal, meaning they are active during the day. They are giants, almost as a big as a Palaeoloxodon.
And are apex predators too, meaning nothing can bother them. As they are the top dogs of the sky, even outcompeting giant pterosaurs and birds of prey for prey items. They can also hunt and kill mega spiders and sometimes the man bats and their subspecies.
Ogre bats are very capable of taking down giant prey. But have one enemy that can truly compete with them.
The Orc Bat is another species of giant bat that lived in the Primal Universe too. But were brought here too and are the main rival of ogre bats. They are

Undercity Light Chapter 16
CHAPTER 16: Dark Light
The lamps burn low when the strike team gathers, their halos halting on faces set like weathered stone. Metal boots scrape the flagstones; the scent of oil and rust mingles with the thin broth simmering at the hearth. Maps lie unrolled across the command table, their damp corners curling where the undercity’s mist licks at them. The light is small and hungry, and the room feels carved from Vaunir’s own iron bones.
Ragnar’s men stand by the archway to see the strike off, faces drawn but steadfast in the orange glow. They look like men who have slept badly and risen anyway.
Nino adjusts the clasp of his mantle with a soldier’s measured grace, each motion spare and deliberate. “South drains,” he says, voice low, iron-flat. “Quick in, quick out. Before the sun leans.”
Mash rolls his shoulder with a dry crack. “Try not to get eaten while you’re proving your valor.”
A voice calls from the back, rough with laughter. “If you see a wolf, tell him Ragnar says
The Great Planet
At the edge of the boundless sky,
among the planets mankind has known,
beyond the darkness of the heavens
that we can never truly comprehend.
There lies
a nameless ruin,a formless chaos,
shaking the pillars of time,
creating a silence
beyond imagination.
From that chaos
was born all that we know:
planets, stars, oceans,
and flesh that breathes life.
This universe is but a child
of that great planet,
and we are but descendants
of the Lord of Chaos
the first great planet of creation.

Cross Sets: Wander (Shadow of the Colossus)
Wander
Wander: Little is known of Wander's past, but it is known that he stolen the Ancient Sword, the only weapon capable of slaying the monsters in the Forbidden Lands, and travelled there with the body of Mono, who he hoped to resurrect. Under the instructions of the deity Dormin, Wander found and slew 16 giant Colossi in order to restore Dormin's power. However, with each Colossi he killed, Wander became more corrupt, and by the time the 16th fell, he became possessed by Dormin himself. As penance for his crimes, and as a way to seal Dormin away again, Wander is forced into a well by the Shaman Emon and turned into a...baby. Thankfully, Mono and Wander's trusty steed Agro was saved in the end.
Intro: Wander rides Agro onscreen and hops off, drawing the Ancient Sword.
Outro: Wander raises the Ancient Sword into the air, the blade glowing blue.
Theme:
Playstyle: Despite wielding the weapon, Wander isn't actually a phenomenal swordsman. No, what he truly excels at his
don't go chasing giants
on shoulders standing still
'tis but a contrivance
they are only windmills
the swords have all been drawn
the knights are all but dead
and chivalry is gone
its tears have all run red
'tis here the angels weep
for all that's left unsaid
the swords have all cut deep
the knights are all but dead
don't go chasing windmills
no chivalry remains
find it in the landfill
no giants to be slain
the swords have had their say
the knights have breathed their last
there's nothing left to pray
within the iron's grasp
the angels cannot speak
with all now bound by caste
the swords cost is too steep
the knights have breathed their last
don't go chasing giants
on shoulders standing still
'tis but a contrivance
they are only windmills
the swords all have their hue
the knights are all but dead
there's nothing left to do
but take the end as read
'tis here the angels keep
the scars that we have bred
the swords have reached their peak
the knights are all but dead
don't go chasing

I see in the high skies
clouds so thick
that surround the sun like a veil
lights appear from everywhere
alongside the beat of war drums
of the angels of divine justice
From the deepest abyss
I see a darkness
So thick you can feel it
Flames that burn without ceasing
Worms that eat nonstop
An incessant desire to corrupt everything
And bring everything to decay
And smite the Most High
I see him descend from the heavens
With your brothers in arms
Your dark and dense cloak
Your eyes like lightning
Your cold expression
The Blood on your veins
The Breath in your mouth
The water in your head
The Lightning in your hands
Its wings spreading, like an owl's in the night
Control, Strength, Life and Power
4 scales keep you balanced
4 winds keep you flying
And under the blessings of the Sovereign
You shout
