This is a little bit of stuff I actually got the idea from someone who said it would be interesting to know how the average soldier feels when they are going to war in the days of Icara.
Well the best way I feel I could do that is to write prayers or battle hymns/songs because it is often in the songs of war that we can most often feel what the soldiers feel in my humble opinion.
Imperial Battle Prayer:
Lord you have chosen us to do this work
Give us Strength to face the fire.
And courage to face the sword
Give us resolve to be victorious
And Wisdom to be merciful
Give us this day to conquer
And tomorrow to spread your word
Give us your love and care
And allow us to do the same
We ask you now for your final blessing in prayer
So that when we die we can raise our faces to the sky
And know that no matter where our bodies lie
We are home, and have seen the end of our struggles. Amen
1st Icaran Regimental Battle Hymn:
The stars cried out the heavens fell
Yet still we charge into gore and hell
The earth may shake and burn with fire
Yet we fight on till our bodies meet the pyre
They Sound the call Fleet and Army into the endless night
So Come on brave lads be ready to fight
No matter the world green or barren
They shall say of us they died Icaran!
Call to Arms: Spoken in Icara city by an unknown speaker Circa 2402
They say of these Phong, They are too powerful!
They say they can not be overcome by mere humans
I say they know not the strength of our hearts!
They know not the strength of our soul and our faith!
These Xenos are just another test placed before us on our quest to unite man under one banner
They are just another obstacle which must be overcome for our future
And I say when history looks back upon this day it will say Icara can not be overcome, Icarans can not be overcome for as long as we stand together we are unbreakable! Stand and fight these creatures and bring us victory, in the name of all we consider holy by the time we are done with this galaxy they will say
We are the only power in all of creation behind God that can not be overcome!
P.S I am still writing the rest of the story
