    3 BROTHERS( the Battle of the Threads)

    Flag Bearer,
    COME TO ATTENTION!

    Brothers...Comrades..Sons
    A moment please
    (A lengthy pause..then SILENCE)

    It is not rich that today
    We cast our fates to chance?
    Forgive my merriment at such a somber moment Friends
    But, it is not without justification
    U must know,
    2 days prior Brother Watcher was lamenting
    The weather patterns!
    There he and I sat upon a Knoll
    As I recall he ate the last of my fruit! (Laughter among the Legion)
    So clearly I recall his words
    "Ahh! To be denied glory by the cursed fate of Nature!"
    Yes...but as the clouds depart upon this glorious morn
    Know Brother Watcher your desired glory shall be acchieved

    Here we stand!
    Ragged, tired and worn from forced marches
    Across this. Bitter and inhospitable terrain
    Sad and dispirited from the loss of dear friends
    In engagements along the way
    And yet,
    HERE WE STAND!

    I daresay if this battle was one of defiant Spirits
    Not one charge need be ordered!

    What are our chances then? Victory?
    Do not be mislead by your enthusiasm for our Cause friends
    All of of shall suffer
    Most shall die
    The enemy is well trained
    In possesion of weapons far superior to our own
    Imbued with a fighting spirit similar to our own
    What are our chances then?
    Only this
    To be REMEMBERED as Warriors of the Vanguard
    Simply that

    As young conscripts Brother Watcher, Brother 2Bee
    And I
    Were very much like youselves
    With a thirst for Righteousness
    A hunger for retribution
    And yes, I admit
    A desrie for glory
    Humbly I speak for them when I say our lofty visions
    Ended the moment we witnessed the horrors of war
    And yet we fought on
    Why?
    WE ARE WARRIORS!
    We believe in the fight for freedom!
    Remember this friends
    FREEDOM is a concept that only becomes reality
    Through battle
    FREEDOM cannot be negotiated
    Would you, my friends, barter your souls for respect!
    Of course not!
    That is why you stand here befor us today

    Here are we
    3 Brothers
    United in blood spilled in countless battles
    Devoted to the Cause and hence..EACH OTHER
    I pray for U friends to aquire Brothers
    Such as the men standing to my left and right
    I say to my Brothers in the presence of friends
    And yes, conspirators, that I shall give my last breath
    Defending the Cause
    And shall fight to the death so they might live
    For, if one of us survives..
    WE ALL SURVIVE!

    And so hurry friends
    Pray to your respective gods
    For, when this battle commences
    On the fury of Hell shall suffice!
