It is a clash based not only on the desire to live, but on the contest between ideologies. The difference between the act of worshipping life, and praising death. And which would ultimately establish itself as the futurity.</description>

It seemed as if the survivors of these atrocities and outbreaks of sickness and famine, might never again survive as a flourishing people. But alas, there was more to come. Years followed the initial Rise of Ruin without the occurrence of a single summer, a single spring, a single fall. There was only winter, only snow, only ice. Famine and ailment had been compounded into a single instrument of extinction</description>

These lordless legions marched from kingdom to kingdom, relentlessly, razing, raping, and slaying all as they went. Though they did not march aimlessly, no. It seemed clear from early on that their apparent goal was to see the head of the king of each realm rest upon a pike.</description>

That foul blood came in the form of a plague, and left in its wake mass death, famine, and anarchy.</description>

It came to me upon my own literal defiling of a rather beautiful flower I found along the roadside. It&#39;s about..Someone who was very important to me, and was left utterly broken in the wake of unspeakable betrayal. She was never the same after that...</description>
