Excerpt, Code of Honor:

>*The book tells us ‘how’ to live, it’s time you know ‘why’.* Cowboy turned to hand the book to Josiah.
As Josiah reached out to take the book their hands touched, the room darkened and time ceased to exist.
Images of other lives and times crossed between them. Memories unlocked and flooded into Josiah’s mind
as unwritten words revealed their history:

*We come from spiritual people who were poets, musicians, storytellers, seers, scribes, folk healers, and
priests. It was a world filled with romance, heroism, vision, and honor. We were all great warriors and
brothers by blood.  Dark forces of iniquity used the power of sorcery to destroy our physical bonds in the
earthly realm, believing it would end our quest for righteousness. They were mistaken.
Fate bestowed the power upon us to transform throughout time and carry on the fight. The undying
bonds of fidelity we share permit our souls to reunite in altered incarnations, always with a new quest to
serve for the greater good of humanity.

Scenes rushed through his mind of kindred spirits perpetually united. We were there to witness the rise
and fall of the Roman Empire. We stood shoulder to shoulder in fierce Viking battles, rode across the
mystical lands of Camelot, sailed the seven seas, and fought side by side during the turbulent American
Revolution. Once more, we connected in nineteenth century America. The charge of taming the western
territories after the civil war, called for men who wielded the heart and strength of warriors who possess
an innate sense of right and wrong. We were there, now we are here to guide all of you as others guided
us. At the end of each life’s quest, our precious recollections of the past recede into the mist of time to
await their next call.

Reborn as strangers, we reunite with one another time after time, never again related by blood, or by
name, but always as brothers of spirit and heart. Each life is distinct, but once we acquire our predestined
awareness and hone our inherent skills, ‘the book’ reveals itself. When these preordained elements of our
existence are in place, correlated memories of our past begin to rouse from their slumber in the mists.

The first memories to be unleashed belong to our eldest. Gather our brothers, Preacher. You now have the
knowledge to show them the pathway to the truth
.*

Code of Honor
Recall and Awareness Quotations:

    >*We’ve all been through the process.  When certain events fall into place, recollections of our
    shared past begin to return. It starts with small things, like incomplete dreams, misused words, and
    flashes of déjà vu, when combined, create a short period of chaos in our lives.  Eventually, through
    that chaos, comes clarity. One by one, we receive our correlated memories; however, those are
    restrictive to our life as blood brothers, and the subsequent times we were together.


    >*No, you just have to believe, and listen to your hearts. Remembering doesn’t change who you
    are, it only strengthens the solidarity the seven of you have already formed. The others will still look
    to you to lead them, still fight for the causes they believe, and still live honorable lives.*

    *Recall and awareness,* Chris repeated Cowboys earlier words, *is it that simple?*

    *Yeah, it is.*

    *Nothing changes?*

    *Change, no, but the skills you all already possess will intensify. Josiah’s spiritual quest will bring him
    more answers. Vin’s innate senses will heighten and his visions become stronger, as will his
    connection to you. Nathan’s healing abilities will flourish and Ezra’s mental skills become sharper
    and more precise.  Buck will expand his role as guardian to become the guiding energy for you all. JD’
    s natural ability as an inquisitor will light the path to victory in the battles to come between good and
    evil.* Cowboy stood, walked over to Chris’s desk, and closed his journal. *Your mind has already
    recorded the events you are trying to explain. Quit questioning, and start listening. Your wisdom,
    Chris, is all they need, and it is you, who will lead ‘this’ assembly of seven warriors into the future.*


    >* Complete understanding of the gift fate bestowed to us, only comes once all seven find their
    key, and restores their histories. Until then, there is a restless period. Since we were blood brothers
    only once. When we retrieve our shared past, we also gained memory of our individual ancestor’s
    lives. In Vin’s case, the Tanner line, in yours, the Larabee line, and so on. Their experiences, feelings,
    and disappointments are not so easy to handle for some.*


    >*We are not the same person. You are my great-great grandson, and you carry the spirit of my
    soul within you. Our lives are unique to us in each incarnation. Even though our brotherhood, and
    lineage, connects us, my life was mine…, your life is yours.*


    >" The world needs men like y'all… men of honor and principle, to counter the existence of evil,
    especially now. It's the second reason we came and why you are all together in this time and space.
    Your greatest challenges still lay ahead. The Seven have always been and will always be… Their
    strength is yours to draw on. Embrace the past, cherish the future, and fight like hell for today. Make
    a better place for your children, and grandchildren. Their destiny is the same as yours and ours… to
    be allied by the timeless bonds of friendships and brotherhood which tie us all to our past and gifts
    us with the promise of tomorrow.*<
'Legends of the Quest'  Code:

    >The quest for justice; be it triumphant or sorrowful, is an honorable pursuit.

    >Preservation of fidelity to our mates, to mentor and protect our children, and commitment to the
    bonds of unity, are all requisites, which link our past, present and future.

    >Choices, based on our inherent instincts, determine the paths of our destinies.

    >When one of our brethren suffers, we all experience the pain.

    >Diligence is necessary to sow harmony, metal strength, stability, and unlock connections.  When we
    allow precarious actions to dominate our lives, we only reap anger, misunderstanding, doubt, and
    closed minds.

    >Men of honor seek all truths, good or bad.  Confronting the bitter empowers strength,
    acknowledging the sweetest defeats weakness.

    >Revelations prepare the pathway for our enlightenment.  

    >When veiled portals are unlocked, our pasts merge and guide us to our future.  The key lies within
    us.

    >Unforeseen events provide us with opportunities to change our direction, which often clear the way
    for fate.

    >Breathe deeply, slow down your thinking, listen, and draw from the pool of tranquility in your soul.  
    Be still, and know.

    >Personal battles may be singular, but none of our brethren ever stands alone.  

    >Our past is the past.  Our future is what we choose to make it.

    >From the dark moments of our lives, clarity and understanding emerge.

    >Answers come freely when we listen to our hearts.

    >Our greatest responsibilities are to live honorably, love unconditionally and, learn continuously.
    Awareness of the past empowers the present.  

    >Victory demands that all battles, whether they are physical or mental, need thorough preparation.  
    Do not compromise your principles, or abandon your cause.

    >Forces of good and evil do exist.  The battlefield may change, but the hostilities between the two
    continue.

    >Our code of honor binds us.  We exist to defend the righteous, and triumph against dark forces of
    iniquity.  In life we are mere mortals, in death, we are as one, awaiting the call to serve again.

    >Whenever needed, seven men, separated by generations, connected by blood, and bound by
    integrity, will ride this way again.  Their Code of Honor ordains it; their love for their brothers
    ensures it.

Heartland lyrics

Spoken)
Out of the mists of Time it comes
Older than the oldest rhyme it comes
Coursing through our veins it comes
Pulsing in our brains it comes
Crushing like a thunder roll
Echoing in our very soul
Listen as it comes
The pure, unbridled sound of drums

When the storm is raging
And thunder rolls
Deliver us from the ocean
Save our souls

(Gaelic chorus)
A Thiarna, déan trócaire (Lord have mercy)
A Chríost, déan trócaire (Christ have mercy)
A Thiarna, déan trócaire (Lord have mercy)
A Chríost, déan trócaire (Christ have mercy)

When the winds are howling
Vigil keep
Shelter us and save us
From the deep
