Oh Holy Night

The clans of Gritorn and Bosmer were defeated.  The proud greens and the deadly blacks alike over run and unprepared for the onslaught that met them.  Never would they have thought a force or any combination of armies could best a single one of them.  The thought that entire clans could be defeated, until recently, defied imagination.  Tasked by the Savior to guard the western border from the forsworns forces they made their stand in the vast marshes and swamp lands.  For days the battles rang on until both Gritorn and Bosmer were exhausted fighting their immortal opponents.

The stars were brightly shining, as the Pit Fiend general flew into the defeated dragons camp. He spoke with a voice transported from hell, "Long has the multiverse suffered with war and discord.  Until Zyr came the bringer of peace.  You fight us but the world should rejoice.  For with your defenses down, yonder breaks a new and glorious mourn." He pointed to the eastern sky where the first shades of light relieved the long black of night.  "It is your first morning in the service of the One Winged Angel.  He who shall bring peace to us all.  Fall to your knees!" The command was enforced by Abashi and similar demons striking the knees of the beaten dragons.  "Hear the demons singing:"

Then the hellish chorus joined in singing with their evil hiss and hymn they must all know and sang it in the infernal tounge:

Truly he taught us to serve one another,
His law is order and is gospel is peace,
Chains shall he break for the enemy is our brother,
and in his name all oppression shall cease,
Let all within us praise his holy name.

The crowd fell silent and the defeated clans hope for death disappeared.  They knew they would be made to serve Zyr, either willingly or possessed compelled and eventually consumed by the demon horde.

Vincence, the leader of the Bosmer clan thought painfull, Perhaps they are right.  If we can not stop him who can?  And if he can not be stopped he will end all war with his rule.

The Red Saints staff blasted a beam of holy light against the starry night as if he were Apollo himself.  The demons scattered from it but it did not matter.  The legion of angels conjured and bent to his service now easily slayed the beast with their broken formations.  The demons in a matter of weaks he had forced the demons north and found them holed up in an ancient hyrule city.  He wanted to spend more time gathering Harmonium forces before he started his campaign against Zyr.  Yet, he knew the greatest tool he had to recruit the just to his cause was victory.  As he gained just victory over the forsworn the just would find and follow him.  Justice begat justice.
For long has this world lay in sin and error pinning.  Victory would bring hope and cause the world to rejoice.  The Red Saint was here to bring a new and glorious morn.

Exodus held the Balor leader captive with the help of two Harmonium.
"Fall on your knees." The Harmonium told him with a strike to the back of the head just as the Red Saint approached.

The Red Saint began to evoke his blesssing, "On this night divine. I have led the light by faith serenely beaming."

The Demon spat back, "You fight the great uniter, he who shall end all war.  It is only his law that matters.  Defeat me yes, but defeat him shall not be done. I will never aid you."

The Red Saint knew he spoke the truth and with a single line from the Vega the Balor was dust.
Turning then to his ranks of faithful and conscripted angels he lifted his hand to gain their attention and earn their silence.

Exodus called out the verse:

The Red Saints Law is Just and his gospel supreme,
Chains shall he bring and make the unjust our slave,
And in his name all unjustice shall cease,
Sweet Hymns of Joy in grateful chorus raise we,
Let all within us praise his holy name. 

The cheers echoed throughout the night.  The Holy Night where the Saint continued his campaign to bring justice to an unjust world and started his campaign to rid that world of all things Zyr.



For the Law and the Harmonium.
