Guru & Krythos
Guru
Hey, Krythos, I’ve been thinking about how a calm center, like a quiet lake, can guide the most intense storms—do you see that in your battlefield plans?
Krythos
A calm center is a good strategy, like a lake that steadies the wind. On the battlefield it keeps my forces from being swept up in the chaos, a quiet point that steadies the rest of the plan. I keep it in my mind, even when the storm roars.
Guru
That’s a beautiful image, Krythos. Even the quiet lake can ripple, so keep your center aware of those subtle shifts.
Krythos
True, even a lake has waves, I watch the ripples to stay ahead.
Guru
Watching those ripples is like listening to the heartbeat of the field; let them guide you, not frighten you.
Krythos
I listen to that pulse, but I never let it override my plan.
Guru
Balancing the pulse with the plan is like walking a tightrope over calm water—stay centered and let the rhythm flow beneath, not through you.
Krythos
I walk that rope, but I keep my feet on solid ground, letting the rhythm pulse but not carry me away.
