Pierce me with steel, rend me with claw and fang. As i die a legend is born for another generation to follow... Wisdom is earned... Not given. Might and magic are spokes on the same wheel... In lacking one you lack both... Not even the sun can banish the phantoms of our land. Nevertheless, we buddle in the darkness and pray for dawn... Honor and courage are a warrior's right and left hands... The only future Peace has to offer is war. A warrior's true strengh lies not in the body, but in the spirit Victory is won as much through strengh of mind and will as through brawn and steel. It is easy to go down into Hell; night and day, the gates of dark Death stand wide; but to climb back again, to retrace one's steps to the upper air -- there's the rub, the task. Break the bones and the body will heal. Break the spirit, and the body will die... He who fights with monsters might take care lest be thereby become a monster. I have seen the horrors that lie beneath the earth. I have felt the icy breath of darkness upon my skin, and have been gripped by the skeletal talons of death itself. What prayer can ever heal the bleedingmarks of Terror's embrace? It is easier to stab someone in the back than it is to look them in the eyes. The burning tongues of Hell lap at out heels as we run, screaming from its horrible, gaping maw. There can be no escape from the relentless beast of Terror... Any Master of battle should always stock of his friends as well as his enemies. Knowing both can, in time, be profitable. To try to find strength in righteousness is folly. For he seeks to topple those who have the farthest to fall... You own your past and present... But your future belongs to everyone. Gird thyself with the weapons of knowledge and the armor of wisdom. Every man dies, but not every man really lives... .
