[i]"There is no higher power than one's own imagination, save for their will. If you desire something, you can imagine it. If you imagine something, you can find ways to make it a reality. It's that strength found within yourself and yourself alone that will give you purpose.
In the world, life is always starting and ending, but purpose, unfortunately can rarely be found. Give yourself a voice and a pen: you are the protagonist of your own story. So get the girl or save the day. Make people feel wonderful or cast them down. Do whatever it takes to make your story one that people will enjoy until the end of time: you only have one chance to write it well.
Be a hero. Be a LionHeart."

Welcome to Taeda Vale: Valley of the torch.[/b]
-
[b]As the sun dawns on the Valley, the Monarchy remains proud: light shimmers off of it's calm lake and ocean waters, the people are active early in the morning, helping clean up minor messes made from the assault the previous night. In the throne room, the Princess summons the Guardsmen who were present for the night-long raid.[/b] "Status report. How much damage did we receive?" "Milady, Each region sustained moderate losses, but nothing too major. It's actually pretty ironic. First off, the damage from the napalm in Cataluna was mild. Thankfully, a winter snowstorm hit just as the bombs ceased to fall. The cleanup crews simply had to put out what fires weren't snuffed from the winter winds and reforest once the blizzard passed. Minor damage to property. 7 casualties, 11 injuries. Luciana was present to confirm this. Next, Perth Hampston and the beast. The moment it dropped and was released from captivity, the Expedition took great measures to subdue the creature with little collateral damage. Siris and I dispatched it before civilians could be involved. No property damage. 6 casualties, 29 injuries, all military. The beast was brought to Luciana's labs for analysis. Lastly, New Raleigh. The horror of what remains was... well... Jaysus, how do I put this? The smoke from the impact spread a good 25 miles out from the impact, but thanks to Merihem and the Goliath, only about 3 square miles were completely obliterated. And while this sounds detrimental to our industry, Merihem is putting the shallow crater to good use. He's finally building the arena he's always wanted there. In the end, Major damage to property was sustained. 24 casualties, 9 injuries, miraculously. That son of a bitch is immortal." "Oh, well... This is interesting news. Siris, take your Expedition to assist Lord Firth in building his... whatever it is he's building now." "Wait! you're actually going to let him do it?" "unless you and your men feel up to resoodding three square miles of land, yes. It's the least we can do for him." "It... But... I'll get it done. I guess..." "Dante and Luciana. I commend you for your talents in upholding the peace and sanctity of our kingdom, but I implore you: How did you know he was coming?" [b]Dante and Luciana smile widely at each other before returning their attention to their master.[/b] "We never knew. For the past four nights we expected retaliation, but none came until last night. We devised a system of how to deal with the unexpected force, but the response we received was what we expected. My immaculate vision spotted the rift fluxes before they even opened. Luciana allowed us to travel in between cities. It was her powers that reduced the casualty count, I simply was the lookout." The princess leans to, listening on the edge of her seat, saturating the air around her with a contagious giddiness. "your actions and deeds last night were of the most valiant and brave nature. The valley thanks you. Luciana, if I could have a word in private." "I am far too busy for that, Milady. But yes, I can trace the rifts. I know where they came from. And I now know how to use them as well..."
