Bound By The Oath Against

We Rode On The Winds Of The Rising Storm, We Ran To The Sounds Of The Thunder. We Danced Among The Lightning Bolts, And Tore The World Asunder.

Reading Is Like Breathing. If You Take It Away, First I Become Antsy, Then Violent.

Violence Harms The One Who Does It As Much As The One Who Receives It. You Could Cut Down A Tree With An Axe. The Axe Does Violence To The Tree, And Escapes Unharmed. Is That How You See It? Wood Is Soft Compared To Steel, But The Sharp Steel Is Dulled As It Chops, And The Sap Of The Tree Will Rust And Pit It. The Mighty Axe Does Violence To The Helpless Tree, And Is Harmed By It. So It Is With Men, Though The Harm Is In The Spirit.

What Can't Be Changed Must Be Endured.

You Will Serve The Cyrstal Throne Well. It Would Be A Shame To See You Assassinated Too Early. I Will Make Certain That The First I Send After You Are Newly Trained, So That You May Stop Them With Ease." -general Galgan To Mat
