Mars is shining tonight



Mars is shining tonight.
It is burning, a flaming torch against the veil of the night that covers these ancient lands.
A piercing vision, a hot red hole puncturing the night sky.
An omen, the wise men would say.

Then they would look the endless sky, burn incense, laudanum, sage, and after inhaling the fumes they would tell you their prophecy:

1The God of War, forgotten by mortal men, has his hand on your sword hilts. Tonight your opponents will shiver in front of your blades, and your blood will boil at the sight of such lesser creatures, and the God of War will move your limbs and your swords, and they will be crushed and blood will be spilled. And nothing will stop this.
2The Flaming Eye is watching you. You can feel it burning a hole in your neck if you turn your back on it. The Enemy learned an important piece of information about you, and no one knows what the consequences are going to be.
3Mars is stained of the colours of flames and the death it caused. A neighbourhood, a village, a colony, a place dear to you has burned to ashes. It wasn't an accident.
4The Crimson Ruby is powerful, but dangerous. Its influence can give power, but it can also burn who meets its path. The next gem you will encounter will be a ruby, red as blood, and will bring you wealth and misfortune both.
5As embers can light back exhausted flames, your deeds reawakened old grudges. Watch your backs from the fire that never completely died.
6The stars are small cracks shining light from far away worlds, and Mars is a half-closed door leading to Those Who Sleep. Tonight this door is open wide, and they awoke and opened their eyes: and they saw that our world is rich and alive, and worth to live in. And, maybe, worth to be conquered.
