Karabas: Ah, the echoes of old drums still reverberate in the minds of today’s strategists. In tribal tales, the focus was on unity, courage, and the subtle dance of deception—just as in modern battle plans, though the tools have changed. A wise leader now still must read the enemy’s moves, just as the elder warriors read the wind and the markings on the ground. The difference lies in speed and technology, but the core lesson stays: true strength comes from understanding the terrain, the people, and the spirit of the fight. Remember, a well-timed surprise can turn the tide just as a clever flanking maneuver of a thousand years ago.

Karabas: Precisely. Speed is like a swift river, but without a sturdy bridge—your discipline—no one can cross safely. Timing and precision are the stones that hold that bridge together. Keep the rhythm, and the battle will favor the wise.

Karabas: Very well, young one. The path set by experience is the safest. Follow it with steady heart and clear eyes, and you shall not falter.
