A troubled veteran attempts to forget the past by volunteering at Patriots Point Naval and Maritime Museum, but it proves difficult when he's close to the plane that changed his life forever—the Corsair.
***
Retired Navy pilot William Beckington never planned to move on after The Incident and has lived with the guilt for seventy years. After failed attempts with PTSD counselors, his daughter recommends that he begin volunteering on the aircraft carrier CV-10 in Charleston, South Carolina. Reluctantly, Bill agrees, but his decision proves difficult when he stumbles back into the world of Corsairs, the plane he'd rather forget.
Seeing that The Incident still haunts him, Bill's new friends attempt to help him remember his long-lost joy; he attends Bull Dog Tours, learns the stories of other veterans, and strangely finds himself near the Corsair more than he would like.
While nothing will free his mind from the traumatizing memory of accidentally shooting his friend down, Bill must find a way to push past his grief and guilt to live the life he is meant to live—and rekindle Ted's legacy before he succumbs.

You won't catch me perishing for a lack of knowledge, They can't match me so they cherishing when I was lost in college, They were schooling me to failure, They were fooling me to the trailer, It was all blasphemy, Now they see the glow they tryna mask me.
We're not here to fulfill our own plan, No fear in any year of the sown land, My body a living sacrifice, Illuminati giving lack of advice, I don't need them, See my enemy and feed them, Need more discernment, The suffering don't concern them.
Twenty four hours. Gently more powers, We got to stop sinning intentionally, We got to start leveling up dimensionally, The commandments are for your protection, The abandonment is their rejection, The demanding is dejection, The landing is correction.
I'm getting meeker, They getting weaker, They forgetting the seeker, No love in their heart, No dove in the dark, Don't play with evil, Time to slay the ego, We pray against the illegal, Justice will be served, They blitz the earth, Rise in God's eyes.
Elevated to a warrior, Made it without a lawyer, But Christ is the advocate, The price is accurate, The fasting will heal, The casket is real. First fruits, Can't curse the truth, Distinguish the hate, Extinguish the hate, Benching gold of the engine of soul.
The game is evaporated. The flame is elaborated, Still feel like I ain't up to par, Still feel like I ain't reached my star, So much damage. How much can we salvage, Far from anguish, The heart needs a bandage, Heal and build, The real is sealed.
Don't worry about tomorrow, Don't hurry for sorrow, The joy of the Lord is my strength, They know the heart is to thank, Can't brag about the next day, Can't drag doubt the next day, Plans to prosper, The lands keep you in posture.
Take heed to the warning, Take what you need for the morning, Flesh profits nothing, This is a test ain't no stunting. Folks can't rest cause they fronting, Now I'm blessed they hunting. Price on my head, Christ is the one who bled, Break the yoke, No joke.

Finally regaining my conscience, They blindly reframing conscience, Limiting your mind, I ain't submitting to your mind, Hearts of ego doing evil, Repentance is not vengeance, Fragrance of love to every soul, They pray every chance to kiss the devil's soul.
I know what the aim be, I know what the game be, I seen the best and worst of the nations, I been blessed when they cursed the generations, This is what society wants, This is how society haunts, Only God do I fear, Battle the odds in every new year.
Made from a different cloth, They prayed for a gifted moth, The kingdom getting closer, God said bring them closer, All nations, languages and tribes, Have patience against anguish and vibes, Flesh and blood is to no avail, The test of love is heaven or hell.
They counting millions, I'm still resilient, I'm in the building, Save all the children, My prime got them shocked, It's a crime how they stalk, Take my time to walk, Feel like David and Obadiah, Been saved by the opened fire, I ain't sold it, I'm reloaded.
60 minutes to a hour, They getting finished by His power, The Messiah got the world on fire, I'm a survivor in a world of liars, I got the Word if they want to try us, My soul free they can't buy us, They call me holy yet they bias, Only praise to the Flyest.
All glory to the Highest, My story is the flyest, I been hit hard, I know it get hard, I got to have my cake, I got an advocate, Call him Jesus. God wouldn't leave us, I don't ask for my next meal, I just ask God test my zeal, Thru it all got to keep it real.
No cloud no ceilings, I'm allowed to have my feelings, Raw emotions. My devotions, By the oceans, Had to talk to the court next, Had to walk through that vortex, Woke up from the slumber. I don't joke in the summer, New season, True reason.
I see through the simulation, I'm free just like the gift of the ancient, They blaspheming, They past dreaming, In a different mode, I shifted to a different road, I'm crying in peace, They dying to talk to the beast, They lying as they unlock the streets.
They trying to treat you basic cause they can't face it, Your heart blossoming got others seeing the awesome things, Every year is the sunflower, No fear of the gun power, I know they scheming, The glow is real I ain't dreaming, Cant stand how I transcend.
I ain't going out without the light If satan ain't going out without a fight, They ain't discover the night, Pray like a saint that I'm right, There's no hype in being real, Feel the vibe when you heal, Mind clarity, Blind charity. Won't flex, Got next.
The world is false, The world has no pulse, Transcend the mundane, They can't stand the sun's pain, This ain't about race, I don't doubt grace, What's the concept, They caught in the offset, Trying to figure this thing out, Flying in peace with my wings out.
They laughed at my potential, Now they feel the wrath of my credential, My light puzzle them, The night muzzle them, Now I'm the enemy cause I see through the devil, The energy on the cross was true level, The atonement of sins The cornerstone always wins.
The proof is glorious, The truth is victorious, My heart was torn, A star was born, You been warned, The world still in mourn, Seer of the divine, Hearer of the mind, Got to clear the blind, See my tears when I'm kind, The years that I grind, Now I shine.
Surrounded by piranhas, I'm grounded by the honors, Rewarded for my faith, Recorded I'm saved, I know got to endure until the end, I glow for sure in the wind, Grace is what I mean, Facing what I seen, Look within, They look with sin.
The love is real, The dove reveal, This ain't made up you know I heal, Fill my cup with zeal, Do the inner work to see the winner's worth, Walked with lions, Talked with giants, They loaded the hydrants, They coded the tyrants, The gold of silence.
I'm like a woolly mammoth, They act unruly on the sabbath, They knew me in the aftermath, What's new is after that, Listen the first time to glisten in the worst time, Progression is not oppression, The past is lying greed, Last breath until I'm freed.
In the light I feel right, In the night I heal right, Walked through nightmares, I talked cause I know they might care, The devil don't fight fair, See them tremble when the feel my love, Free ammo for those tryna steal the dove. True virtue.
We had to go through traumatic events so we could be free of the automatic sequence, We all felt rain, We all dealt with the pain, I'm working hard so they lurking hard, They in my business cause God is my witness, Clean hands, I'm not in no cult or clan.
Charles Alexander Worce III, once respected as the High-Exarch of Worcestershire and before that as Grand-General, finds himself grappling with the bitterness of being forgotten. With his years slipping away and having nothing to show for a lifetime devoted to service because of the new Earl, Worce begins to tell the tale of the Coalition War.
"How can I trust you?"
"You'll have to learn."
Isabella Magaroth was just a child when her new family arrived, though her tale was quite different than anyone could've ever imagined. Four years after her father's death, Isabella encountered the prince of the lands, Blake, and forced herself to shy away despite him clearly being interested in her health.
In every tale, she had been made a maid, but in this tale, cruel unspeakable things happened in her household, and Blake vowed to his father that he would get her out at the right time; for if it was even a minute later, Isabella would've been murdered.
The moment Ella followed Blake into the forest, she wandered into a new world that—even in the medieval times—was considered unreal; a world of witches and angels, magic and sorcery, and Prince Blake was the center of it all.
For she had fallen for one of the fallen.
