I was thinking about how silence sometimes carries the weight of a thousand unspoken truths—do you feel that too, when the battlefield quiets down?
Yes, when the drums fall silent the weight of every fallen soul hangs in the air, a quiet reminder that duty never ends.
It's strange, isn't it? The silence after the storm feels heavier than the clash itself, like each breath takes a moment to catch up with the echoes of the fallen. Sometimes I wonder if that weight is just the echo of our own thoughts.
The quiet after the storm is a test, not a mercy. It lets us see if our hearts still beat for what we fought for. We must stand firm, even when silence feels heavier than any clash.
I hear that rhythm in the pause, the way it asks if our pulse still matches the cause. In that quiet, we can hear the steady beat of our purpose or the subtle sigh of doubt. Either way, it keeps us honest.
It is in that pause that we test our resolve, for purpose or doubt, the true test of a warrior.
