What use a return to home if not a return with honor?
For the poor soldier who returns without tribute and scars

was fairly gained by the hand of an enemy.
It is shame to quail and flatter and seek to hide away.

The Logos of Hades
Submitted by detroitmechworks on Thu, 07/12/2018 - 9:35amBeyond the dark rivers, upon my shadowed shore,
do the men of Troy set their feet and whisper hushed fears

And upon stepping upon my threshold, they do meet my hound.
