"Soul of Steel"

​
Before the Emperor reunite the Empire, Griff was a simple farmer son's trying to survive in the world, more busy tending their farm than worrying about the state of the then fracture Empire. More busy trying to put food on their table, trying and falling...And then the Emperor came. Helping his village, his family, giving food and money to expand their farm, protecting them from raid. In his wisdom, the Emperor, saw what other only dream about...a united people; an empire reforged in war but coming together with diplomacy, sitting at the table.

An empire that help people soaring beyond their destiny of mediocrity, to became a better people.

That's the reason Griff enlist in the Royal Army. to protect his family, his brother and sister, to protect the brother and sister of others griffon, to become a better griffon. The day he told his family of his intention, he could see the pride in his father eyes, in the way he nodded at him. He could feel the pride of his mother, in the way she hugged him when he left.

The training for the Royal Army broke him and reforged him as a blade ready to kill the enemy of the Empire. Reforged him in a shield to protect the people of the Empire, ready to kill and die to save others as the Empire. His instructor on the day they graduate from their hellish training told them something that stayed with him.

"...Some people say that a good soldier follow order, without fear. A good soldier march where told to and die when asked to. A good soldier is but a small cog in a great machine. You could ask one hundred people and they will give you all one hundred good answer. Yet a good soldier, nya, an amazing soldier is one that encompassed his soul with hate, courage, duty and self-sacrifice.

Hate for the Enemy of the Empire will have for you.
Courage to fight for the People of the Empire.
Duty to his Emperor and Empire and to his brother beside him.
Self-Sacrifice for to be a soldier is to be ready to sacrifice his life so that others may live.

Reforge your soul, SOLDIERS, my brothers in arms, to be like STEEL: UNYIELDING AND UNBREAKABLE!!! Let your Soul be Steel!!"

"SOUL OF STEEL!!!""SOUL OF STEEL!!!""SOUL OF STEEL!!!""SOUL OF STEEL!!!""SOUL OF STEEL!!!""SOUL OF STEEL!!!""SOUL OF STEEL!!!""SOUL OF STEEL!!!""SOUL OF STEEL!!!""SOUL OF STEEL!!!""SOUL OF STEEL!!!""SOUL OF STEEL!!!""SOUL OF STEEL!!!""SOUL OF STEEL!!!""SOUL OF STEEL!!!""SOUL OF STEEL!!!"

Gryff remember roaring with his brother that day, roaring to the heaven his conviction. And then some time later, the call to arms for an enemy was marching against his home. The Empire call for his brave soldiers to defend it and it's people...

And now Gryff is here, in this small mountain pass, shoulder to shoulder with his fellow brothers in arms, ready to defend his home, his family, all the people of the Empire. And as the enemy march against their formation, heedless of their losses, Gryff gripped his weapon, and with a roar shared by his fellow soldier, so loud that the heaven themself tremble he stuck the enemy

"SOUL OF STEEL!!!"

@Questor any comment on the situation? the 100+ votes must be a hefty ego boost, especially if this is your first quest :D (unless you have others on other websites)

No, this is my first and so far only quest. I'm pleasantly surprised by all the attention and reader involvement this has been receiving!

Thank you all so much for your attention and input! I really appreciate it!
 
I'll ask @Questor's opinion on this. Would you consider this vote

[X] Blow the Charges, Withdraw, & Prepare!: You've destroyed the majority of the enemy force, but your forces are bloodied, exhausted and running low on ammo. And the worst of the enemy assault has yet to come. Blow the charges and have the Knights act as the rearguard back to Lanner. Along the way have your forces prepare any traps they safely can to whittle the enemy forces down further without sacrificing themselves. You'll fully focus on the enemy when your forces are behind cover, rested, and better supplied.

to be the same as the run votes, or is it different enough it doesn't count? We tried asking the voter to clarify if he wanted to change it, but he's been offline for the last 20+ hours.

It has become ridiculous!

Tie (once i count the Blow the Charges, Withdraw, & Prepare! as a run vote), and i think 2 hours have passed.

so...coin toss? or next vote decides it all?
 
Ok, I'm going to flip a coin. Heads we charge, tails we run.

Is there a way to do that here? I know people can roll dice using forum tools.
 
And that puts bury them in the lead then so i guess that wins? @Questor

Ok, I flipped a coin. It came up heads so that plus the vote means Bury them wins.

Voting is now closed!

Thus ends the closest vote I've ever seen on SV.
 
To be honest I'm more worried about us killing Sombra then winning or losing and this has a chance of us killing sombra and that's something I would rather not happen just very anticlimactic.
 
Welp, I guess I'm having goat for dinner tonight.
 
Well let's see what happens. Hopefully the dice roll well enough we don't lose to many people. That will slow down our growth if it does. We have a few expensive options we need to take to keep advancing.
