“Naught but Glory”

The House words, simple and true, the Valerian way.

But this battle was different, secret, we are reminded to tell no one, that this was not a battle of honor, glory, renown, standing or anything of the sort. This was a battle for All Mankind, fought by Men here pledged to anonymity and told to tell no one. Everyone understands, even the boastful Nords with their challenges, and the Knights of their Oaths.

Will to fight for Mankind.

An hour of fighting go by fast, the sun going down just as quickly, and soon we are left in the dark.

Alu has fortified themselves with stolen power, fed by the attention of his terrorism wrought on the cold north, but after the final puzzle lie solved, and the Menhir rebuilt he stands there, facing the 30 or so of us, covered in mud and blood and dirt. His resolve lay strong, but his power fades.

As our blades found him he too fades, and also from memory.

Forced to be forgotten.
