Ch1-Pt4: The Undead Army

>It takes some time, but your army passes the mountains.

>The Titans efficiently slay any demon, imp, or apparition that appears between you and your goal.

>They are a waring race, and even after thousands of years, they seem in their prime.

>They are in their element.

>But you are a man of God.

>Your element is a church.

>Back on Earth, you opposed the wars.

>You condemned the crusades.

>You rebuked the armies.

>Now you're part of an army.

>The pain you had is almost gone.

>You prayed and the Lord healed you.

>He is even with you in Hell.

>"The bronze gates, they are ahead!"

>You look up towards the wall.

>In the midst of the apparitions, you see it.

>A three-headed beast guarding your exit.

>Its tail is that of a serpent. It wisps and hisses to nearby entities.

>The three heads appear as a dog. The teeth are that of razors.

>As it barks and snarls, the drool seeps down its mouth and pools in what looks like a thousand-year's worth accumulation.

>The Titans cease their advance, as do you.

 

>Crius turns to his men and begins to speak.

>"Standing before us, is our greatest task at hand."

>He extends his arm towards Cerberus.

>"This monster can stamp us out in a single pounce, we must ready ourselves!"

>You are lost to Crius's monolog -- attention is focused on that beast.

>You are honest with yourself; you feel fear.

>You're terrified.

>But you have no choice.

>Redemption must be brought to Equestria.

>Your mission, you must complete.

>You close your eyes and pray for strength, "Lord, this sword is heavy and this armor is damaged. For me to preach your will, I must escape this place. Please give me the strength to go on..."

 

>Your prayer is interrupted as the Titans roar with a battle cry.

>This gets the attention of Cerberus.

>The beast remains on its mount, above the gate, held firm.

>With all of your strength, you lift your sword. You feel a small voice inside of you, as if instructions were being relayed to your mind.

>You drop your shield and disarm your armor. Crius quickly turns to you.

>"Anon, you must understand..."

"This armor is too heavy, Crius."

>You unbuckle your chainmail as you continue.

"There was once a man named David, who was going to a great battle like this one."

>You drop your helmet.

"He defeated the giant Goliath with only a sling and a stone; that's all he needed with the Lord on his side."

>You remember that story well. King Saul tried to dress David up with the royal armor as well.

>David turned it down.

>As will you.

>The Titans look uneasy, but Crius smiles.

>He trusts you.

>"FOR ANON AND HIS GOD, LET US FIGHT!"

>The Titans raise their weapons and charge Cerberus.

>You run with them, holding your sword high in hand.

>You rush with the army of Titans, slaying every apparition between you and that beast.

>You feel strong.

>You feel agile.

>But you're still not a fighting man.

>Yet you fight.

>"The army of the undead, they rise!"

>A titan falls to the ground with a thud.

>You look up to see hundreds of beings. Are they being summoned by Cerberus?

>They come from the ground and begin marching towards you.

>"Anon, do not get too close, even a touch can drain away your being!" yells another Titan.

>You pray a blessing over your sword and rush with the rest.

>Every demon your sword comes in contact with drops at the displeasure of Cerberus.

>The mighty Titans cut through the undead army, but not without casualties.

>Your men are reduced by over half.

>Yet the rest stand strong.

>Cerberus lets out a piercing roar.

>You cover your ears in pain. They begin to bleed.

>The creature dismounts.
