Rebels In The Night
Feels like your life is over. Feels like all hope is gone. You kiss it all away. Maybe, maybe- This is a second coming. This is a call to arms! Your finest hour won't be Wasted, wasted! Hey, hey! Hell is what you make, make! Rise against your fate, fate! Nothing's gonna keep you down! Even if it's killing you! Because you know the truth! Listen up, listen up; There's a devil in the church! Got a bullet in the chamber, And this is gonna hurt! Let it out, let it out! You can scream and you can shout! Keep your secrets in the shadows and you'll be sorry!
(There comes a time you've gotta face it, face it)
It's time to take some action boys!
Through the mist, through the woods,
Through the darkness and the shadows-
It's a nightmare, but it's one exciting ride!
Say a prayer, then we're there-
At the drawbridge of a castle.
And there's something truly terrible inside!
It's a beast, he's got fangs, razor sharp ones-
Massive paws, killer claws for the feast!
Hear him roar, see him foam!
But we're not coming home
'Til he's dead!
Good and dead!
Kill the beast!
-
Hearts ablaze, banners high!
We go marching into battle!
Unafraid, although the danger's just increased!
Raise the flag, sing the song!
Here we come, we're 50 strong!
And 50 Frenchmen can't be wrong!
Let's kill the Beast!
Kill the beast, kill the beast!
Please come in time with me! And we will see! The beginning to be!
They fought, a very long time ago. Before, they were comrades. Before that, friends. And, even before that, in the longest time ago.... Maybe, just maybe, when it was just them-
Was it love? They were never sure.
updated Hitchcock ref! Added his cane, body hair, and a good ref for his eyes and a possible alt outfit for him!
Stopped Time
A squared display That remembers when! That leads the way To live in “Then”! (But why live it again?) Those children- The men-! Mm, never again! Is it to change, Bend, Shift the way things were? To turn the mystery To a history you prefer? To take it back? The film to black? The shot to blur? Or-?
Who cares what happened after?
I’m A Shadow Of Myself
This sickness I'm afflicted with Has got my brain decaying
I know my God has damned me. My fate remains unmolded! Guess it runs in the family. My sense of self; corroded!
My blackened blood is boilin', I feel my fear no more. The scent of dead flesh spoilin', Have I become a corpse? - Now, you know the price, Gotta pay it now! If you have a life, Time to lay it down! Heed not the voice of reason, It only tells you lies! Obey your sins and demons Then see through evil's eyes!
I think Hitchcock might have some rebellion in his past too.... :3c
I think it’s time I talk about Illendra.
I mention her a few times, talking about Covah and his story. But I’ve never talked about her.
Illedra, in case you can’t tell, is a member of the Arglwydd Amser race. She is one of many who protect time itself from anything that might deviate it from the path that fate demands it go. She is forever loyal to her creator, the god of time itself “Boss”. And will do anything Boss says. Like most Arglwydd Amsers.
At least, she was 100% loyal before Boss called her for a new mission one day. And assigned her the tremendous task….. of dying. Boss told her that she was fated to go and be with the wielder of a cursed sword, and eventually perish under his blade. But, in doing so, she would cause the wielder to question killing and eventually end the spirit inhabiting the blade- thus keeping others from the grasp of this deadly curse. And Boss from having to weave fate around this dumb curse the deity behind curses created.
Illendra, of course, feels apprehensive about the task before her. It is her duty to seal her fate so history may be written in the way it needs to be. But….. She’ll die. Be no more. And that’s a scary thought for any creature.
She was wallowing in her sorrow for a while, but eventually overheard rumors of a Arglwydd Amser who defied fate. One who roams free of Boss’s woven fate.
She managed to get a meeting with Gwendolyn, and ask his advice towards her situation. Gwendolyn, surprisingly, advised she follow her fate. He revealed that even he was not totally free from whatever fate the Boss decided for him now. He just refused to listen to him anymore, and recognized that their lot in life was total bullshit. The torture of knowing their fate and the fate of others would drive most mad. But they had to deal with it. They were all dolls in the major deity’s little game of house.
However, Gwendolyn suggest she delay her fate. She didn’t necessarily have to go die immediately. She had time, and told her to only go when she was ready. See sights, conduct chaos, whatever she wanted. But, she would eventually have to go to keep history in tact.
So, Illendra travels time. seeing things she’s always wanted to. And delaying the inevitable as much as she can.
