illphated
In a future long after the wars of men had broken the Earth, where neon skies bled over cracked streets and the stars watched in silence, the Alamo still stood—barely.
A crusader knight, forged from a lineage of fire and faith, stood in gleaming synth-armor, his cross-painted shield glowing hot with purpose. Beside him crouched a Comanche warrior, his breath calm, his bow charged with plasma light, arrows kissed by ancestral spirits and circuitry alike. Above them, on the ghost-lit walls, the Texas flag rippled—not just fabric now, but a radiant beacon of resistance, stitched with memory and defiance.
They had nothing in common—one born from Old Europe’s iron, the other from the native winds of the Great Plains. But they fought as one.
The sky cracked with static as the horde came—machines twisted by greed, beasts grown in the vat-labs of fallen nations, mercenaries with glowing eyes and hollow hearts. The two men stood their ground. They didn’t speak. They didn’t need to.
Above them floated a woman of light—hair golden as prairie wheat, eyes green like spring reborn. She was not a god, nor an AI. She was memory, love, healing. She whispered peace as their bodies screamed defiance. She wrapped their wounds in radiant threads. She held them together.
They fought through nightfall, through despair. When the city’s towers fell and the floodlights died, it was not weapons that carried them forward. It was the unity forged in that fire—brotherhood not of blood, but of belief. That even from the bones of old enemies, new bonds could rise.
When the sun broke the clouds, the horde lay shattered in the violet mist. The knight stood, breathing heavy. The warrior stood, arrow nocked but still.
And between them, the flag flew.
It had not been a victory of might. It had been a victory of unity. The kind that turns the last defenders into the first hope.
And on the wall behind them, in pulsing light, flickered one word: #ILLPHATED.
