Reforged






No more the weakness of the past, now is the time to seize what is before me.

Faith and Strength, Strength and Faith- these will be the twin foundations on which my future is built.

Accordingly, I find much significance in the above pictures.

1. Paladin.

2. Scene from Sergei Eisenstein's Nevsky- Note the nooses near the top of the picture, this is the purging of unbelief.

3. Engraving of Count Bohemund of Taranto, Lord and Master of the Norman Crusaders of Southern Italy, scaling the walls of enemy-held Antioch. By Gustave Dore.

4. The Vigil, by John Pattie.

Faith and Strength.

I will prevail.
