A Shieldmaiden's Guide to The 9th Epoch

All Rights Reserved ©

Summary

A collection of raw, unaligned snapshots set within my universe A Shieldmaiden's Guide to The 9th Epoch. These episodic pieces explore the visceral reality of medieval survival, fractured lore, and high-intensity body horror. Do not expect a linear journey right now. Instead, prepare for fragmented, nitty-gritty glimpses into a dark age stripped of romance and pushed to its most unsettling extremes. Note: This collection contains mature themes, realistic medieval violence, and graphic horror elements. Content is intended for adult audiences.

The Watchers' Fall

The Watchers’ Fall

Verse 1

From pristine skies the bright ones came

With beautiful wings and hidden shame

They shed their light for mortal clay

And threw their heavenly thrones away

They took the daughters of mortal men

To build an empire that would end

They brought secrets, dark and deep

Forbidden knowledge humans shouldn't keep

Chorus

They ignored the warning,

They chose the night,

They penned their doom

In the stolen light.

Now the bonds snap,

The heavens crack,

No throne survives,

No empire back.

Verse 2

To the line of Cain, rogue Loki turned

Where ancient envy deeply burned

In Angrboda’s blood, the shadow slept

The cosmic debt that must be kept

From that dark womb, the backfire grew

The very doom the Watchers drew

God warned the rebels of the trap they made

But they mocked the light, by dark betrayed

Chorus

They ignored the warning,

They chose the night,

They penned their doom

In the stolen light.

Now the serpent thrashes,

The kingdoms fade,

For their own creation

Must be repaid.

Bridge

(The Building of the Ark & The Tears of Heaven)

While Watchers feasted, gopher wood was laid

A silent vessel in the shadows made

The righteous family boarded from the shore

As heaven's teardrops started down to pour

The beautiful wings were shattered into ash

Beneath the lightning and the thunder’s crash

Verse 3

Mighty Thor stood tall and brave

To fight the serpent on the wave

But raw Nephilim strength could not delay

The crushing weight of Judgment Day

Thrusted down to the burning core

With beautiful wings they wear no more

Beside his kin, he waits in chains

While over the deep, Noah's Ark remains

Chorus

They ignored the warning,

They chose the night,

They penned their doom

In the stolen light.

Bound in the earth, the rebels cry

In the black prison where empires die

While daughter Hel keeps silent watch

Counting every scar and every notch

Verse 4

(The Sealing of the Abyss)

The Maker spoke, the iron gates slammed shut

The silver cords of false divinity cut

No spell of Odin, no deceptive art

Could tear the bars of Tartarus apart

The oceans settled o'er their hidden grave

Leaving a blank world for the pure to save

Outro

When the veil drops

The back will bleed

The silver scars

Long decreed

They wait in darkness, trapped below

Until Christ returns to strike the blow

For true judgment was never meant to bend

The rebels were never free.
