  Why do living things have the bad habit
 of dying at the worst moment? And without
 previous notice?
  I am looking at you, horses! and at you,
 oxen!

I threw down the bridges, threw down the walls, leapt among the fleeing
and struck them down. I did this for you, Mother, I did this for you.

I stood upon the prow of my vessel and my heart leapt forth and I struck
down their ships one by one, dashing them to flotsam and jetsam. As we
sailed by, they clung to debris and cried for help and we laughed. I did
this for you, Mother, we did this for you.

We laid siege to the city for 4 weeks and 3 days and when they opened
the gates to admit defeat our swords fell on them like rain. They
thought we would be kind, that we would sanction their lives in return
for their submission but oh what fools they were, Mother, what fools
they were....
