    What? no answer ,no curiosity?, where have all the real Vandals gone?

    Have the warriors of the Hasdings and the silings, traded their independence for a houseman's tether?

    Did they bury their war-axes in the potter's field?, trading their days for a poorman's dinner?

    Have you once and for all staked your horses to the farmer's plow, trading glory and fame to work a rich man's field?

    Is Alaric and his Goths so powerful, that you are willing to eat the crumbs he has left you, for fear he will leave you nothing at all?

    You hide here in the longhouses of Germania, pretending you are more than the Visigoth's dogs.Yet you forget the roads our ancients traveled were lined with the spears of those who called them brother!

    Even in the time of our own fathers, did the Toga people gather up the Goths and the Huns, as protection against us, and still you do not remember?

    For where were you born? in the woods of Germania? our at the point of the sword in Galtia, and Vandalusia.

    For I am as you ,born in the land the Visigoths claimed.But unlike you I am not waiting for them to cross the Mare Nostrum, in order to takeaway once more the homeland of the Vandal.

    There is a new King in Carthage, if you have not heard. His name is Gaiseric, and none can stand in front of him, not Alaric, not Boniface, not Valentinian!

    Therefore as The King's Messenger in the land of the Visigoth, I tell you he has ordered you, "Come out of from Alaric's shadow, warriors of fortune, come to Carthage where the true destiny of your people awaits you!"

    "Let us set the hunters to the field!, let them wail who dare cross us! Let us turn the pages of history on the rotten Toga people forever! We will burn his ships and sack his towns, we shall light the waters of his seas until even the angels of heaven choke on it's smoke."

    "Then they shall say of us Mare nostrum no-more, but Mare Vandalia forever! Then those that have run our fathers out of the lands at the point of the sword, shall they now quake in fear and dearly grieve because of us!

    These are the words of king Gaiseric, and I have done my part here, except to say heed them now for the day will come when the lion that sleeps can not be woke.

    Rune The Vandal, Messenger of King Gaiseric in the land of the Visigoths.
