By His Will

-- In the thick of it --
i was handed a vicious defeat the other day
my fear gnawed in my stomach, my hands quivered,
but my faith was resolute.

i suspect my time is limited, that soon the clarion call to battle will sing out,
that i will be forced to abandon the niceties of this writing and ride out into battle.

by His will i am still here, and by His will i will still fight

-Commissar Muskeg

Over the top!

From the bloodied front


i don't have a lot of time to write
what little time i have seems spent in prayer
prayer for purity
prayer for strength
i will not falter, no matter how tired i am
my sword is matted with blood, and my gun jammed ages ago


i can hear them howling, a second front opened up just days since i last wrote
the blood smeared faces, elongated teeth chewing through my soldiers necks and chests
only by Gods will do i still stand




but i stand on a pile of rotting heretics


i addressed the men today
there are hundreds dead or missing
but thousands cheer as i call them to battle
with this host by my side, i will do His work
or i will die trying
