Quotes From 'The Hero Summoner'
***

An affinity for men and women alike,

a fate strung together with emotions and suchlike,

they are part of the Sin-Bearer, the Hero Summoner,

the burdened sacrifice who will never be remembered.

- Anonymous

“A great disaster shall befall upon us.”

Beard as white and clean as his robes, a middle-aged man steps forward, raising his hands and stretching them, looking up at the ceiling of the cathedral. Behind him, an entourage consisting of other men in similar-looking robes and a squadron of armoured knights. The entourage is unmoving, only looking at the man as he continues his speech.

“The calamity has already begun,” he continues, “We must hasten the Summoning. Else, we’d find ourselves in the middle of a great, unforgiving

“I’ll liberate you right now.”

With that, he spins around, throwing the girl into the middle of a white magic circle. The incantations and inscriptions on the circle glimmer slightly, reacting to the girl. The girl coughs, spitting out blood. She glares at the man, gnashing her teeth.

“Esteemed Elder,” one of the white-robed men begins, “Pardon my impudence and ignorance, but how are we going to solve the problem after she has been used for the Summon? Did you give instructions?”

“You have no need to worry, my dear Apostle,” he replies, “Dremlin will say nothing about this—and even if they do, they’ll be dead before they can even begin forming a sentence.”

The girl tries to get up once more, but the magic circle seems to enhance the gravity within it. The girl falls on her behind. She tries to stand again but to no avail. She then scooches in front using her knee, getting close to the border of the magic circle.

“What did you do to my parents?”

“Huh?”

“You monster! You fucking monster! I hope you die a terrible death, you fucking freak!”

The Apostles look visibly displeased. Some of the knights draw out their swords but the man merely gestures at them. With that, they sheathed their

    The quote stated above is respectfully the first quote which shows the audience that there is something quite strange about the Count. The Count is stating that he does not sup. Then after being how polite and hospitable, one would think that it is certainly odd that he did not sup along with his “company.” The audience may start to think that while Jonathan Harker sups, that the Count may be up to something.…

    A hero is often defined as someone that demonstrates courage, performs brave deeds, and displays noble qualities. Personally, I think that this definition can be applied to both Kevin and Maxwell due to the fact that they have both faced many difficult obstacles with the qualities of a hero. However, if only one character from the book, Freak the Mighty were to be chosen and defined as the hero of the story, I believe that Kevin would best represent the title, hero.…

    Calavera Poem: Bangerz!

    • 300 Words
    • 2 Pages

    Redondillas, a poem in which Sor Juana criticizes the double standards men have for women. Stating that according to men, women can never satisfy the needs or wants of a man, looking down on women who act “crazy” or accuse women of being “whores” when it is the men who give women no choice but to commit such acts. She goes on to say that men create monsters but when the monsters come out the run and hide blaming others for the monster they have created. Throughout the poem Sor Juana emphasizes how men treat women when it comes to sex, she questions “Who is the bigger sinner, the one who sins for money, or the man who pays to sin?” The men to whom she refers to in this poem are assumed to be the men who lead the church, leaders of the church! Church leader of then had so much power over the people and the way people lived their lives. In this poem Sor Juana takes a jab at the hegemony of her time.…

    Allegory In Beowulf

    Allegory is a depiction or symbol of an abstract or spiritual meaning through tangible or material forms. Relatively a story, poem, or portrayal that could be elucidated to divulge an unknown and clandestine meaning. In the following tales of the erratically depicted heroes such as the gallant yet reluctant figure known as Sir Gaiwan to the courageous yet audacious individual known as Beowulf, these men are known for their honor, unrighteousness, and integrity. Also within comparison to these divine, fierce, and distinctive individuals is a character in which Chaucer calls the perfect knight in The Canterbury Tales. These parables exonerates examples and illustrates three atypical barrages of character from profound Middle Age literature. In this essay I will…

    Throughout the history of Christianity, there have been many documents displaying stories of martyrs. The word ‘martyrdom’ is derived from the Greek martyrein, meaning ‘to bear witness’. In Christian understanding this has meant witnessing to Christ and to the Christian faith, even under pain of death at the hands of others. Most of these reports show martyrs as men, who demonstrate courage and honor in the face of those challenging their commitment to their faith. The Martyrdom of Perpetua and Felicity expresses the account of two female Christian martyrs in 203 A.D. and their personal reflections in reaction to their oppression. Perpetua’s memoir reveals an insight unto her life and how these two model—in the mist of persecution—striving towards freedom against their family blood and male oppressors. Gender roles have played a huge role in society as far back as written history goes. Perpetua was not confined by how she was supposed to act as a woman and took a traditionally masculine role in several situations. Perpetua did not value her femininity as strength, rather she shed it and deliberately masculinized herself to be strong; upholding the false idea that the only way to be heroic is to be like a man. This story reflects about beliefs of the early church in correlation with the experience of a female martyr and provides insight into how the male-dominated culture of that time biasedly interpreted the actions of courageous Christian women merely as characteristic of men: Women can take on a masculine role for the sake of God to the point where they “become men” in the eyes of Christianity.…

    Though epic poems, such as Homer’s The Iliad, or Beowulf, were meant to entertain, spread religion and culture, and perhaps even to preserve historical truths, they also have a rarely noticed, possibly accidental agenda; defining humanity. Even tales such as The Epic of Gilgamesh and The Tragedy of Sohrab and Rostam have a mutual theme, though they come from completely different cultures and time frames. That theme is that what makes us mortal; what makes us human is the aspect of loss and suffering in our lives. This is true throughout all epic poems, whether subtle or not.…
