Eternal Knights

[Rei Ayanami]

are you implying that your guild is divided? where one follows the light code of conduct, and the other follows the dark?

the road to perfection is the one of learning.
learning requires a teacher,
whether be it living or dead,
animate or inanimate.

courage and determination,
without knowledge or insight
it is pure idiocy
where one willingly sacrifice their all
for something they do not believe in
nor understand.

duty is not necessarily loyalty to a higher power.
it can be duty to one's own set of principles,
ideologies and honor.

strength and will
without courtesy,
sincerity, compassion
is mere arrogance.

one cannot live by strength alone
for it needs the nourishment of one's own purity of soul.
the darkness within the soul
will wield the sword of strength
as though it is a shining torch in the dark regions of the underworld.
it beccons to the demons within
to ravage and destroy the beholder.

control,
one cannot control
without the knowledge of being controlled.
for one must understand the hearts
of the followers.
a leader with followers
whose hearts do not follow their liege
is not a leader.
because, one day
they will rise and overthrow
that leader.

the will, ah the will.
without you the universe do not born.
you are the driving force for all that was, is and will be
to continue the cycle,
no matter how hard
and full of pain
their road takes them.

a small token from me.
