Fourteen years previously, her own father had kidnapped her baby in an act of revenge for Veronique's marriage, and both her father and her child drowned at sea.

    It takes more strength and will to survive severe mental illness than it does to become a Navy SEAL. 
    I am one of the few that has survived both experiences. On my 24th birthday I became a newly minted SEAL. Within months I had lost track of reality entirely, becoming mixed up in secret communities, psychiatric wards and showdowns with police. 
    When my mentor and friend was killed in the attack on Benghazi during my mind bending mania, I snapped. Not knowing whether I was dead or alive, hunted by hallucinations and preyed on by delusion. Some ultra powerful government organization had selected me to become a super soldier and I would die before I quit. Stealing a tow truck, breaking out of a holding cell, sending a bomb threat, there was no limit to what I would do. 
    For months I lived as an operator in a clandestine selection process for an organization that only existed in my mind. Certain things in this story only exist in my own mind and it is up to you to determine what really happened to me. It is the history of my perspective and it is as real to me as reality is to you. The story is as raw as it is true with all the gory bits of madness. 
    My aim in writing is to show you that you’re not alone. If you’re severely mentally ill you’re just like me and nothing like me at the same time. My friend, you are unique but you are not alone. I am fighting this wretched darkness with you, sword in hand.

    Constantine I, often called Constantine the Great, was one of the most significant emperors of ancient Rome, reigning from 306 to 337 AD. Born in Naissus, in the province of Dacia Mediterranea (modern-day Niš, Serbia), he was the son of Flavius Constantius, a Roman army officer and a prominent figure in the Tetrarchy, and Helena, a woman of humble Greek origins. His father's position as one of the four emperors in the Tetrarchy was instrumental in shaping Constantine's early life and military career. Under emperors Diocletian and Galerius, Constantine demonstrated his military prowess, initially fighting against barbarian tribes and the Persians in the eastern provinces. In 305 AD, he was summoned to the West to aid his father in campaigns in Britain, where he earned further distinction. 
    Following the death of his father in 306 AD, Constantine’s soldiers declared him emperor at Eboracum (modern York, England). Over the next two decades, he would overcome rival emperors, such as Maxentius and Licinius, in a series of civil wars, eventually becoming the sole ruler of the Roman Empire by 324 AD. His reign marked a period of significant transformation, both militarily and administratively. 
    To strengthen the empire, Constantine initiated a series of reforms. He reorganized the imperial administration, separating civil and military powers to create a more efficient system of governance. Acknowledging the need for economic stability, he introduced the solidus, a new gold coin that helped curb inflation. This currency would become the standard for Byzantine and European economies for nearly a millennium. He also restructured the Roman army, creating specialized units that could respond swiftly to internal threats and barbarian invasions.

    Norse Myths Unveiled - The Gods...

    Norse mythology is a vast and intricate belief system that shaped the spiritual and cultural identity of the Scandinavian people. Rooted in oral traditions and later recorded in texts such as the *Poetic Edda* and *Prose Edda*, these myths offer a glimpse into a world filled with powerful gods, fearsome giants, and legendary heroes. Unlike many other mythologies, Norse myths do not present a perfect and orderly universe but rather one marked by struggle, chaos, and an inevitable end.  
      
    At the heart of Norse cosmology are the Nine Realms, each interconnected through Yggdrasil, the great World Tree. These realms include Asgard, the home of the gods; Midgard, the realm of humans; and Jotunheim, the land of giants, among others. The Norse viewed the universe as a place of constant conflict and transformation, where even the gods were not immune to fate. This belief in destiny was central to their worldview, with figures like the Norns weaving the threads of fate for gods and mortals alike.  
      
    Prophecy played a significant role in Norse mythology, shaping the actions of both gods and mortals. One of the most well-known prophecies is that of Ragnarok, the great battle that would bring about the end of the world. Unlike many other religious traditions that offer eternal salvation, Norse myths emphasize the inevitability of destruction and rebirth. Even Odin, the Allfather, seeks wisdom not to change fate but to prepare for its arrival.
