An Old Friend
Posted: Sat Aug 29, 2009 8:16 pm
Aye! Sit down my young ones. Let me tell you a story of a Time Long Ago. It was a time of war. It was a time of Honor. Many had fallen!
Most of Clan Wolf had fallen on the Western front during an attack that was put together by Draconis Combine and the Kells. Jade falcon was pinned on the eastern front by House Marik of the FWL. There was the dire threat of Archon Killdare bringing House Steiner into the Southern March, along with his Mercs.
And then.... One Clan had been holding the southern line waiting for the right moment.
It was time!
From Kerensky's Stars came the Eighty, Beneath a banner of Truth and Righteous Light
To lift up those who had suffered and to smite down with fearful vengeance those who had ruled
In the name of Vanity or Greed. The thunder of their BattleMech's feet, the lightning
From their weapons, and the blood spilled in their name created the Clan Spirit, the forge upon which
We have fashioned ourselves to be the weapon of the resurrected Star League,
Honed to a razor's edge buy the Trials, By The Remembrance and by the
Words of our sire, our savior.
Then the order came, "Furl the sails. Ready for jump, mighty warriors.
We journey back, we journey home,
Carrying the flame of the Star League back to the hearth.
We face the ignorant who believe themselves civilized and strong,
But they will soon discover otherwise. We are the Clans, the Star League incarnate.
None can stand against us and survive."
Sons and daughters of the blood legacy, Inspire me as I sing, Of the deaths dealt out on Tukayyid
And of what our warriors faced and bravely fought: Help me paint a portrait of an apocalypse.
But remember, warriors, we are the Clan. What fails to kill us only makes us stronger.
And when future sibkos learn of us, They will know the sixteenth year
As the Stacalkas-Nomen: The year The punishment of our enemies began
As the old warrior finishes his story and looks around the room he sees some Old Friends from battles past. And probally some New Friends from battles to come.
Patience Young ones!
Watch your six.
Watch your heat.
We will meet soon.
