This isn't the way I'd imagined things would happen, but I'll still strike with the same fury. With each strike, the spirit and history of alliances of a by-gone era will finally be reconciled. I have waited 2 long and bitter years for a second chance, and while it isn't quite as glorious as I'd hoped it would be, it's a moment that's welcome nontheless.
NPO, may our fight be honorable, and may you hold nothing back, because we will not.
