Note:  I apologize for the delay in between lessons/prophecies.  I have been on an epic search for Icons of the Great Dark Lord in the Great Northern Wastes from which he came.  We hope that study of these artifacts give us even greater understanding of our Unmerciful Prince of Football Darkness and his Mighty Process.

And the time came where the Traveler and the Giant mounted their attack on the Promised Lands, and so glorious were their plans and so flawless were their tactics that those who saw their charges said, “Verily, there exists no man who can stop this army. “  And many waited with weakened hearts for the Dark Lord to meet this charge, but the Exalted Army moved not, and his trumpets sounded not, and the only sound they made were the crunches of The Mountain as he enjoyed his pre-battle snack of 17 young hens and 5 fatted calves.  And as the Giant approached, he raised his sword, as did all his men, and they crashed into the lines of the Exalted Army.

And what then happened wise men sang about that evening, and still too do they sing about it this day, for the Giant ran head long into The Mountain, and verily he crashed to the earth like the tallest oak, and The Mountain smote him, and then The Mountain’s men smote him, and then The Mountain smote him again.  And when he was thoroughly smitten, the Great and the Great Youth began their assault.  The Great, with his eyes burning and his helmet shining, went straight through the middle of their forces, and for him they had no answer.  And then the Great Youth flanked their number, and many of their remaining men threw themselves in front of him, and he trod them asunder like so many leaves from the autumn tree.

And as night fell, the Exalted Army was victorious again, and once again a foe slumped back to the lands from which they came.  And the Dark Lord came before his forces, and said, “My sons, wash not your armor, for we march north in the morning.  Last year, the grizzled general from the lands of the horsemasters came to our hallowed ground and defiled it.  Now, we shall have our revenge.”
