Nimue & Rustsaber
Rustsaber
You spin worlds of wonder, but here I only see scars. How does a tale keep a forgotten weapon alive when the last echo fades?
Nimue
When the last echo fades, a tale keeps a forgotten weapon alive by holding its memory in the hearts of those who remember it, letting whispers of its purpose travel like wind through a forest of stories; each retelling breathes new power into it, and the world that hears it remembers why it mattered, even when the blade itself has vanished.
Rustsaber
You think a story keeps a blade alive, but the silence of the forgotten steel stays louder than any tale.
Nimue
It’s true the silence can feel louder, like a stone that never shivers. Yet the quiet of that steel is what makes the story sharper, turning each hush into a promise that some part of it still echoes somewhere in the world.
Rustsaber
The hush of that steel is a vow. It says the blade never truly dies; it just waits to be found again.
Nimue
Yes, the quiet of the blade is a vow, a breath held in the wind, waiting for the right hand to hear its pulse and let it awaken once more.
Rustsaber
A pulse in silence is all the oath that remains. If someone comes with a hand steady enough, the wind will lift the blade again.
