You'll Bring Honor To Us All Lyrics 소설 & 이야기

I shut my eyes, bracing for the explosion. "For honor, for glory, or for the end that comes for us all."

"Give them the respect they deserve." I swallowed against the lump in my throat, following my heart's instinct. "You're right. We'll bring them together and honor them properly. They deserve nothing less." The resolve in my tone inspired us all, and we got to work, carefully collecting the fallen, their sacrifices weighing heavily upon our backs.

Soon, the sea of heads bends their knees, chorusing, “Until the day I die.” My breath catches. “Until the day I die.” My shoulders straighten in pure pride and gratitude for my people. I am home.

The battles we had fought had not been in vain; they had shaped us into who we were meant to be. The following morning, we held the ceremony to honor our fallen. The clearing was adorned with flowers and stones, a testament to the love we shared and the lives that had been sacrificed. I stood before my pack, my heart swelling with pride and grief as I spoke their names, remembering each one who had fought bravely. “We carry you with us in our hearts,” I declared, my voice trembling with emotion. “Your sacrifice will never be forgotten. We will honor your memory by living our lives to the fullest, by loving fiercely and protecting one another.”

My friends from home finally meet with us, and we started going over more strategies for the battle. With a final rallying cry, Julius raised his sword high, the blade catching the moonlight as he spoke, “Tomorrow, we stand as one, united in purpose and unwavering in our dedication to defend all that we hold dear. Let our courage guide us, our unity strengthens us, and our determination fuel us as we face the darkness that seeks to engulf us. For Star's hometown, for our people, for all that we love, we fight!”

You could see the fear in all their eyes, see their bodies just quivering. “ There is no greater honour than dying in a fight for your people. I am ready to die in this field but I will die proud and happy yet know, I will die having left nothing but havoc. Don’t see this as your death, see this as the honour it is, defending your family and people. We will protect our people and land until the last breath we draw.” I said out, speaking from deep in my heart. The words were packed with much power, head held up high.

All of them. I felt the burn of tears at the corner of my eyes but blinked them away, lifting my chin. “We cannot turn back the hands of time of what’s been done,” I said, finding my voice at last. “We can’t bring back the ones we’ve lost, no matter how much we want to. But we can honor them by building something worth their sacrifice. No more divisions. No more lies. We have to do better—because if we don’t, everything tonight will have been for nothing.”

“I found this when I was cleaning out my brother’s old stuff. He used to wear it when he felt like the world was too loud. Said it reminded him that even darkness passes.” She looked at the charm, heart swelling. He handed it to her wordlessly. She slipped it around her neck and closed her hand over it. “Thank you.” Then she stepped into the gym. ⸻ Cheer practice was louder than usual. The team circled around Coach Martinez, bouncing on the balls of their feet, while Bella leaned against the wall with her arms crossed like she was the queen of something. Maya walked to the center of the gym. Coach raised an eyebrow. “Something to say, Maya?”

I took mine, feeling the weight of it in my hand. I stepped forward. “Tonight,” I began, my voice carrying easily through the hall, “we honor survival. We honor sacrifice. And we honor the strength that binds this Citadel together.” A murmur of agreement rolled through the crowd. “We stand not because war spared us,” I continued, “but because we stood for each other.” Ronan lifted his glass beside mine. “To unity,” he said firmly. “To unity,” the hall echoed. Some drank immediately. Others waited. It happened within seconds.
