Warlord

An ancient City burning, the red of flames through the windows of the belfry, the red-lighted palace. The warrior, a chief. Ram horns decorating his helmet. The flaming sun decorating his shield around the boss. Mars in Aries, a novel on war by Alexander Lernet-Holenia. He exploding glasses of the rose window of the cathedral in On the Marble Cliffs by Ernst Jünger. We can’t know whether this man in arms is a mercenary warlord who came in rescue of the sieged City, or he is a barbarian chief proud of his victory, ready to plunder. This is the world of War, of the forgotten Deity. Bellona
