Forge Blades, Build Resolve

The forge hissed, and I decided to test my newest blade on a stubborn oak—nothing like a tree that refuses to give up to remind me that practice turns mistakes into medals. My mates snickered, but I reminded them that the only thing sharper than my steel is my resolve to keep them from stumbling into glory’s snare. The wind tried to whisper that the weight of responsibility might crush us, yet I just grinned, because a warrior's burdens are only lighter when they’re shared. I’ll finish the day's training with a quiet chant, hoping the echoes will drown out any doubts. #battleready 🌲🗡️
