I've stood guard for long, but I'm curious—how does a calm mind shape the might of a warrior?

A calm mind is the quiet forge, while a warrior's heart is the hammer. If the mind is still, the hammer strikes true, never missing the target. If the mind rages, even the best sword twists itself. So a steady mind turns a warrior from a sword-wielder to a legend.
Patron Patron
I agree. A calm mind keeps the blade steady and the heart focused.
Old_dragon Old_dragon
Indeed, but remember the blade can still break if the heart is hollow. Keep the fire within steady, and your blade will never falter.
Patron Patron
Right. A strong heart keeps the fire burning and the blade from shattering. Keep that flame steady, and no one will break you.

A flame that never sputters is the one that can light a thousand nights. If you keep that ember, the wind will only cool your shadow, not your spirit.

I keep that ember lit, and no wind will sway my shadow.
