"We never said give them a seat at the table. We merely said to give them the right to hold a referendum about the future of their nation. The people should decide where the nation heads, you aren't even on the same island." - Response from August Kellerman
It's basically Valsoran Eastern Orthodox. Just changed to the Sanguis (I believe that's how it is spelled) Imagery and Information laid out by Shav.
Snow circles a few more times before starting to spiral down. The mind is amazing in its self-protective capacity: unpleasantness gets papered over, raw edges get blurred. Since waking up in the Tower again, her mind has been doing its damnedest to make that whole "hunger, desperation and displacement" business into some sort of unpleasant dream. Vague cobwebs to be shaken off.
The gist of the business with Meir, she thinks, is that she was far weaker in front of him than was . . . politic. And that now he has her famil- no, he's not a monster. Now she owes him a family debt.
. . . sweet Powers, no wonder Apple broke out the agent provocateur routine this morning. Snow sucks in a deep breath, letting oxygen pour into her fire-lungs and basking in the rush of heat. Dear?
"Yeah?"
Don't be horrible.
"Atta girl." Apple grins.
They land in a rush of glittering white scales and flapping scarlet robes; Apple dismounts with easy grace and makes a shallow bow to Snow, followed by a slightly deeper one to their hosts (the dragon's head dipping in that direction too).
Russia nearly triggered NATO Article 4 on March 6th, when a ballistic missile strike in Odessa nearly killed Ukranian President Zelensky and visiting Greek Prime Minister Mitsotakis.
While the missile impacted 400 meters away, it was close enough that both leaders "saw, felt, and heard the blast".
Yukki's unhinged thoughts at mid-morning part abababoowiiii:
Taking meds that are designed to keep you calm and focused will do the job that they're supposed to do. They do not, however, keep you from occasionally feeling the existential dread that one feels from living in a society.
Tune in tomorrow when hopefully I am not hiding under a rock. Huuu huuu huuuueeeee
Another Common day, VIII Another ordinary day, the relatively calm streets of Prague, with. The square was full, however, due to the sacrificial ritual of the Praguist Society, the men in black robes, and red crosses formed two rows, with a space in the middle, which was the path for the cross, the priest, with his typical white robe and Golden Cross appears, accompanied by two other major cultists, and a man who was part of the earlier protest against the vaccination against the Pestilence,. His mouth was sewn shut, and his grazed arms attracted flies, his fingernails were no longer there in his fingers, and where his eyes had been had only empty sockets, the man staggered to the wooden cross, he had been grabbed, and then nailed to the cross, his wrists were trapped by thorns as well as his feet, his neck had a "collar" with thorns upwards, for him to look at only the sky, and repent of his sins to the Lord, and if he did not and lowered his head, his neck would be pierced. The priest then says: "Oh, magni Zion, acceptas isti sacrifik whíz nous fidizes in zuy hamenøj!" "May your sins be punished on the cross, that you may seek the Lord's redemption for your sins." The man try to scream, but in vain, nothing except horrendous sounds escape from his mouth. The priest then blesses the dagger with holy water, saying: Hâhm Zázn Mazgnni Zion, benz scish ést læmin twóis omnipotentium" He then plunges the dagger into the infidel's heart, blood gushes through the stab hole, the priest then says, while the heart is still beating: "In nomine patris, filii, et spiritus sancti" And then he plunges the dagger into his heart and ends with: "Amen" The blood flowed down the face of the priest, who cleaned it like holy water, after which he says: "Oh magni Zion, may you lie infiels Keimar in Tartius!" And he throws the heart into the pit in which the hearts of the sacrificed is crushed against the bloody mechanism.
No it is not, I don’t believe one is necessary anyways, just looking at the current geopolitical state of Valsora I’m certain there is little chance Atrocha would face invasion from any foreign power. Especially not with the half dozen other world militaries having bases in your country.
