Hello, and welcome to yet another one of Isengrim's semi-famous writing challenges. I'm sure most of the older users may already know about this, but for any newer users who are here, and others that may come in the future, I am pretty fond of writing challenges, having once hosted the character creation and world creation challenges, this time I am now hosting the third challenge on me repertoire: the Inspiration from music challenge.
The game is pretty self explanatory, I assign you a random song, and your job is to listen to it, and allow the song to guide you. What plays in your mind when you hear the song. The challenge is not to draw inspiration from any images or the videos the song may have, so its best not to watch the video (the songs will be from youtube links) and just listen to the song.
Songs will likely be instrumental, such as the kind you would here from composers such as Two Steps From Hell, E.S. Posthumous, Hanz Zimmer, etc.
Do you think you have what it takes? The step up to the plate!!

THE BATTLE OF SEXTANT PASS -
Horns break the morning with their peal of righteous thunder, Two brothers blast in unison to hail the rise of dawn. They echo on the mountain walls and tell those camping under To rise with their commander and bring death to winter’s spawn.
Out first flies the cavalry on hooves of rapid elegance, Followed fast by infantry all garbed in iron mail, But before the spirited men another man with steed and lance And morning sun gleamed golden plate directs the army’s trail.
Before the wall that holds the pass a force of ice prevails, Demons carved of cold and flesh by darkest magic’s poisonous hand. The battle drums reverberate as human scouts trevail Beneath the stress of giant’s legions ‘gainst their tiny, motley band.
Clash, and clash they did! Armor, metal, frozen water, flesh and blood all torn asunder A maelstrom of chaotic wonder greater than the north had seen! Every man fought well as twenty, for their hope and faith were plenty, Bent by need to quell the plague that bled into their southern lands!
The glorious leader rode at front into the crowd of vile beasts, His mighty spear impaling pain and fear into the enemies, Like a god, he gave from monsters condors’ jolly carrion feast, And cut a swath of emptiness between the wretched seas.
His eyes, like eagles, swept the masses, searching for the devil lord Who brought these twisted Den defiant corpses to accursed life, But the leader’s lance of rowan shattered, so he drew his sword, And beat back hordes with flat and edge that gathered round in frenzied rife.
At last he found him! The leader leapt o’er beast and soldier in the fray ‘Til he reached the clearing where the jeering warlock watched in jest, Armed with shock and bastard blade he charged against the bane of day, Skewering the devilmaker right between his heaving breasts!
The caster cried and howled and writhed, and fumbled at the sword, But in his agony he could not find the strength in infirm grasp. A giant took him up, and soon the enemies in surges soared In frightened flight far from the fight, and with a many fearful gasp.
Won, yes won they had! The cheers and laughs burst forth as fast As the enemies retracted deep beyond their once beloved pass! The battle of the Sextant won, the glory unsurpassed! The bloody leader bore a smile, for happiness had won a while, But in his heart of hearts, he knew This was just the first of trials. The war had just begun.

Im pleased to say i finished reading that in time with the song. Excellent post xD and since its written to be related with KoE, who knows, maybe you can integrate into the rp, as a piece from a play or something. Actors acting out what the narrator reads out and the music playing on in the background by an actual orchestra. It could be a piece of a retelling of the war it talks about. On the post itself, excellent as usual, Annasiel Thanks for participatingm let me know if you want another song anytime soon.

Thank you! I would like another, when you can! Hopefully a less epic piece, that was incredibly difficult for me to write in my long-winded style. xD
