Conan & Zephara
Zephara
Hey Conan, have you ever felt like a battle could shift so fast it’s almost like fighting a dream?
Conan
Yeah, sometimes a fight can flip on a dime and feel like a dream, you know? One moment you're standing your ground, the next the enemy is already in your face. It’s a reminder that you’ve got to keep your eyes open and move faster than your opponent thinks you will.
Zephara
Just like a shadow that stretches when the sun changes, keep your focus on the light that’s always moving. You’re not fighting the enemy, you’re dancing around the moments that slip past. Stay still enough to notice, but ready to step when the rhythm changes.
Conan
True, the light shifts and the shadows grow. I keep my eyes on the horizon and my hand on the sword, so I can move when the rhythm changes and not get caught by surprise. That's the way to stay ahead.
Zephara
Horizon’s line is the seam between dreams and daylight, and your sword is the quiet that tells you where that seam trembles; keep listening, and you’ll always step before the next breath.
