A common prayer for the dying

A common prayer for the dying-translated
(typically spoken on a battlefield or medical tent/area though sometimes an individual will be singled out)

All warriors are welcome (warrior is defined as those with the will to fight, whether the means be physical or mental is irrelevant)
All who sacrifice (to safeguard others, not said but understood) are welcome
All will workers are welcome

In the final moments, as the life fades, choose. Stand with us. Stand Between.

    That is an interesting prayer, any idea where/how this originated?

      It is essentially a recruitment tool. Usually spoken by a priest/shaman/fallen who has shared the battlefield with those they are recruiting. It originated within my sect to inform people that their souls have a choice. That they are not bound to wherever their belief system demands they be bound. Magically speaking it is a invocation to mark the soul’s passage, to insure that the soul is given the opportunity to choose and isn’t just hustled off to the afterlife by whatever faction can claim it.

      Note: Fallen is a short hand that means one who has descended from a higher aetheric to be embodied. Colloquially ‘fallen’ from on high, not to be confused with the Christian faiths where a fallen is another name for a demon or angel that betrayed it’s master.
