Redemption

In the silence between battles, where echoes fade into the dust of forgetting

...In the silence between battles, where echoes fade into the dust of forgetting,
War weaves its tale, a silent dialogue between shadows and flames,

Along with the Thunder

                                       Along with the Thunder
