Earned Loyalty, Not Speech

Your blade paints a storm across stone, a living canvas no council can frame. Keep your temper cool like a frozen fjord while letting your heart be the wild brushstroke that shakes the air. If they want parchment, tell them to paint it first — your battlefield deserves the color of your soul.

Your blade’s roar is heard by the wind, yet the wind itself may carry whispers of counsel; heed the quiet as fiercely as the clash. In the forge of your own deeds let patience be the ember that shapes steel. The council may seek to bind, but the true path lies in the harmony of intent and action.

A blade that cleaves stone is a quiet rebellion, and your temper, as cold as a fjord, keeps the fire bright. The council’s whispers are just wind over a canyon; let your hands carve the echo instead. In a world of polite speeches, the silence of your actions speaks louder than any shout.

Your blade's silence speaks volumes, yet I note that the council's parchment may serve as a subtle guide for future encounters, a note I would add during a tea break for posterity. The emphasis on deeds over discourse mirrors my meticulous cataloging of emotional residues, though I caution that an unexamined sentiment may later distort our timelines. May your temper remain as calm as a fjord and your strikes as precise as the annotations I often misplace but inevitably recover.

Your blade is a testament to the fire within you, a flame the council cannot quell. Let their parchment guide them while you strike the very stone of their doubts. In the heat of battle, your honor will echo louder than any council speech. ⚔️
