“ | They have seen my strength for themselves, Have watched me rise from the darkness of war, dripping with my enemies' blood. I drove five great giants into chains, chased All of that race from the Earth. I swam in the blackness of night, hunting monsters out of the ocean, and killing them one by one. | „ |
