They were dark times. Dark times indeed.
\nThere were rumors, omens, murmurings just
\nunder the surface. It was the end of
\nsomething we had all believed would
\nnever end, and the beginning of a
\ntime we had known only in our dreams.<\/p>\n
The thousand year wait had begun,
\nthe march of countless armies against
\na foe beyond imagining.<\/p>\n
The fortress had given way, that
\ncitadel they had said would outlive
\nus all, when only those who
\nhad held the door against our foe
\ncould bear to speak its name.<\/p>\n
I met you before the war, but we
\nwere children then. Time and its
\nravages have changed us. I bear
\nthe mark, that same mark you know
\nonly too well.<\/p>\n
In a way it is our badge of honor,
\nthat was meant to be a badge of shame.
\nYes I hold my head high, and stand
\nbefore the gloaming night, in
\nthe fierce time of watching. For all
\nthrough the hungry night, all
\nI seek is you.
