The Thisses Final Stand, or so They Thought.

[Gdp203]

When I lead my men into battle, I was young and unprepared. When i stared down at all of my Brothers In Arms, they were all about a few years older than me. It didn't make sense, becoming a Highlord, and becoming one of the Four Horsemen. I was not ready, not prepared. They rushed me into this. Decorating me in fancy Jewelry, expecting me to be the one who brings the Empire back to its feet. I was only 18 when this happen. I have just met my first girl. I have just had my birthday, and here i am marching to my possible death. As i stepped into the Tent of the four Horsemen, the three looked at me, i was the number one Horseman. I lead a whole army and so did they. The four Horse Divisions they called them, and i led all of them. The 1at Horseman Division was the other three horse men, and the whole damn army behind me. This was overwhelming to think about. But i must, Cain would be proud. The Plan was simple. The Resistance is making a stand, they are charging in from the bottom of the desert hill, Dynamite hill, used to be a bomb testing ground for new explosives. But now its a war zone. They were to attack from the west of the Palace, we were able to retake the palace when Cain fell but now they want it back, they want it real bad. But who wouldn't, its a place full of riches. But if we lose it we lose the Empire. We looked to the West. Resistance Horsemen stand infrront. Those damn cocky fucking bastards. I could right a whole insult book. But right now was not the time. The 3rd Horseman showed me the replica of the Nether Bomb. It was filled with lava, a dangerous bomb but many errors. Release it to early and its defective, release it to late it blows up burning an entire squad. I nodded at the devastating bomb and looked at the plan. We were going to fire cannons down the the hill. We would release these Nether Bombs in each divisions center causing them to scatter, and become confused. It would burn everyone of those bastards causing a display of burning bodies. Just what i needed, memories of the Viray War. I step out of the tent and get ready. Men, nervous as they are the last hope of the empire are shivering, in a blistering hot desert, its like a paradox. The Creeper cages are set and are ready to be let go into the hill. I line up in the middle of the 1st Horseman Division. A boy no older than 16 looks at me. I look back at him and give him a chilled look. He looks just like me. The poor kid was a private, this was his first battle. Now i am seeing the horrors of war, and i don't like it. I am to march and make a speech infront of them all. My horse steps infront of the army and i make the speech. In diamond and obsidian armor i say with a strong and fierce voice like Cains.

"Men of the Thiss, boys of the Fatherland. We are here today, to defend our land. I am not of Thiss blood. But i have been trained, i have been prepared, for THE FUCK FACES DOWN THERE! They will not, I REPEAT NOT DESTROY US! We will burn their bodies, and send them back to their disgrace of a home and show their children NOT TO FUCK WITH US! WE ARE THISS! WE ARE A IMMORTAL ARMY! WE NEVER........ FALL!" I yell,

The men Raise their swords cheering as i smile and get in my position. The bastards, marching down the hill with their leather and iron armor. It is almost embarrassing. There is no way we could lose. But, it was not that simple. I gave the command, simple and clean. "FIRE!" and the cannons rained down ripping apart all of the rebel soldiers to bits. Then the cannons kept firing. We kept them at bay until they reached the Dried River. Then we set off the Nether Bombs. The Nether Bombs were a success. They are confused and scared i can see it. It is, sweet to succeed in a plan. But then the most surprising thing happened. Division 2 started attacking us. I yelled "TRAITORS!" and directed the attack towards them. Division 2 ripped division 3 apart killing the horseman. Krila betrayed me! General Krila the III, that bastard. As he was attacking us the rebels moved closer. We were surrounded. I was later shot off my horse. An arrow sticking in my stomach, how wonderful. A blood puddle was oozing out of me. I crawled for my sword. As i got my sword i started killing. I chopped, slashed and killed everything trying to Reach Krila. But no. Krila ran me down and stabbed me. I was lying there and he told me, "sit down Ciel, you failed." And i froze. I have failed. I woke from the battle field, my own men lying bloody on the floor. Then i saw that 16 year old boy. I went in shock. I was picked up and put in a hospital in Camp Thalia. I was to stay out of the world and go low. This, this was my greatest defeat yet. I still, see that boy even at 37, i still see his dead cold face.

Sincerely,

Highlord Ciel Thalas
