Sword & Uliel
You always talk about hidden blessings in wounds—do you think a warrior can see the same, or do I need to look beyond the battlefield to find them?
Warriors feel the sting of steel, but the blessing is the pause after the blow, the chance to breathe, to choose kindness. If you focus only on the front line, you miss the quiet after. Look within, let the wound be a lantern.
That pause you speak of is where the true test lies; it’s not the clash but the choice that follows.I’ll keep my blade ready, but I’ll also listen for that silence, where we can decide what kind of warrior we truly want to be.
Good, keep the blade sharp but also let the silence be your wind. In that quiet the true edge of a warrior shows itself, not the clash. Listen to the echo of your breath, and it will map the kind of sword you want to wield.
