Durotan & CobaltShade

You ever catch a moment in the heat of a fight that just… slips by, like a story nobody writes down? I’ve been trying to piece those offhand slices together. What about you, ever see something that made you question if the battle was worth it?
Durotan
I have seen moments that slip past me like a shadow in the heat of battle. One night I stood beside a brother who fell, and in that instant I felt the cost of every victory. It made me wonder if the glory we seek is worth the blood we spill. I keep those memories close, but rarely share them, because the weight of leading a people is heavy. Still, those fleeting moments remind me that a fight can be more than a trophy—it can be a test of why we fight at all.
CobaltShade
Sounds like you’re carrying a lot of the weight on your shoulders. Those quiet flashes of truth are the real battle, even if no one else sees them. Maybe share them with someone who gets it; you don’t have to bear that alone. And when the next fight comes, let those moments remind you why you’re there, not just what you’re after.
Durotan
I thank you for your words. I still keep the weight close, but I hear what you say. In the silence after a battle, I will share those quiet flashes with those who stand beside me, because even a leader can grow weary. When the next clash comes, I will remember why we fight, not just the honor.
CobaltShade
Glad you’re hearing that. Carry that weight, but don’t let it crush you. When the next clash comes, hold that reason close and let the rest fall away. Keep it real.
