Nefret, happy birthday!

Into battle we ride with Gods by our side
We are strong and not afraid to die
We have an urge to kill and our lust for blood has to be fulfilled
WE´LL FIGHT TILL THE END! And send our enemies straight to Hell!

That's good news, MLE - glad to hear it!
My good things are still very much entwined with the possibly bad things, none of which I can even discuss online just yet, so life's a long trail of confusion, uncertainty, stress, and hope. But most of all, gratitude.
