Chasing The Tide of History

History teaches us many things. It holds to traditions now lost, reignites worlds forgotten, and echoes with the choices and actions that change the tide of time forever. In time, we find the legends being born, heroes facing unspeakable odds, and the balance of life dangling over a razor sharp edge, but even in the darkest of moments, hope flickers like a burning arrow aimed straight into the human heart. Strength is the endeavor never to be surrendered, and sacrifice is the sword to draw blood from those fighting to save their world, their people. History tells us all this. History is the master, and we are its students. But could we ever surpass the lessons always being taught to keep our world together, to follow the heroes that changed this world? The past is alive and well, thriving with visionary effect, mesmerizing sound, and swallowing us whole, taking us back to where the world stood still, was tangled in the conflict of war, and where legends were born.
