In the season of life in which I passed through the Rain’s Hand, more than 90 duels did I face to prove myself invincible. I learned the 38 grips, the 750 offensive and 1800 defensive stances, and the 9000 strikes that I would practice for all my future days.
With Onsi’s blessing, the sword-singer must do the same to achieve Mastery of Discipline.
In the season of life in which I shivered from the Frost’s Fall, so did I find myself called upon to cast aside the notions of my destiny that I had deemed true. I left the land of my home to which I did not return for all my future days.
Under Satakal’s ever-changing influence, the sword-singer must do the same to achieve Mastery of Sacrifice.
In the season of life in which I was exposed to the Hearth’s Fire, into deep contemplation did I withdraw to ponder the nature of truth. I sharpened my mind as my blade and defined the principles I would honor for all my future days.
With Tava’s blessing, the sword-singer must do the same to achieve Mastery of Wisdom.
