"Remember us." As simple an order as a king can give. "Remember why we died." For he did not wish tribute, nor song, nor monuments nor poems of war and valor. His wish was simple. "Remember us," he said to me. That was his hope, should any free soul come across that place, in all the countless centuries yet to be. May all our voices whisper to you from the ageless stones, "Go tell the Spartans, passerby, that here by Spartan law, we lie." - 300

The last stand; the final edge of hope. It will be at this point fate will be defined and shaped for the future. It is here we will make our presence known and fight to the death if we must.

about:
My (long overdue) half of an art trade with =DeathsElement . By request, I did a piece based on fantasy. The primary inspiration came from the movie 300, but I added a couple different things from other stories as well. I'm happy with the finished result...for the most part. The ugly tail ruins it just a bit. Hope you like it though!

Comments and faves are appreciated.
