#15375, "Ulthur's honor story"


          

Since Shok mentioned it in his post, I dug this up again. Don't have any other use for it now, so I figured I may as well share it again.

Honor

A warrior was once given an unbreakable blade. He wielded the
blade through many a battle, and vanquished many a foe. Often
times the blade grew heavy in his hands, and he often thought
to himself that it might be easier to put it down for a while.
Somehow, he always found the strength to continue on.

One day the warrior found himself alone in a dark forest. No
friends stood by his side this time - only he and his blade
remained. There were many enemies in the woods, and after much
fighting his arms were weary from the effort of swinging the
blade, but somehow he found the strength to continue on.

After much walking, he came upon a wall that stretched as far as
his eye could see. The sounds of his enemies approach came from
the woodlands behind him - he would have to go up the wall. He
began to climb, sword in hand, but half way up he lost his grip
and fell to the dirt below.

He still had time before his enemies would arrive, so he quickly
dusted himself off, and prepared to climb once again, when he
was struck by an idea. The climb would be much easier if he set
the blade down. He could always pick it up again once the danger
was past. So he left the blade in the dirt below.

He climbed the wall swiftly without the blade hindering his way.
Once on the other side, he realised his error. The blade was not
here, it lay on the opposite side of the wall. He climbed up
once again and peeked over the top. Seeing no sign of danger, he
climbed over the wall and down to the other side.

Sifting through the dirt, he found his blade - broken in two.
You see, the blade is only unbreakable as long as one holds it.
Once it is set down, it can not be picked up again.

Looking around, the warrior now saw that there was no wall, and
no enemies. Both had existed only in his head. You see, only
one person can make you set down your unbreakable blade.

That person, is you.
