And a Warrior, called Nite Hawk, spoke and said:
My name is Nite Hawk, and I was born with three things...
A Warrior is born with three things: A Body, a Mind, and a Spirit. With
these three things a Warrior must build a life: A life of Balance, a life
of Peace, and a life of Will.
A Warrior is born with three things...
A BODY: Speed, Dexterity, and Reflexes. These are the Gifts of the Gods
to a warrior. Skills can be learned, but the Gifts are rare and are to
be honed to the sharpest of edges and used to build: A life of Balance.
A physical battle is quite simply an exercise in which a Warrior is given
the opportunity to use the Gifts of the Gods and test the Skills learned
on this plane. It will at times be necessary to use the Gifts and Skills
known to a Warrior to build: A life of Peace.
Through training the development of the Gifts and Skills combined will
become a formidable weapon. Perfect Balance, Peace of Mind, and an
Indomitable Spirit are necessary for a Warrior to build: A life of Will.
A Warrior is born with three things...
A MIND: Intellect, Creativity and Common Sense, these are the compasses
and maps given a Warrior to help in navigating this existence. In life a
Warrior will make mistakes. The way these mistakes are handled will set
the tone of countless lives determining the measure of a Warrior's steel.
A Warrior will accept responsibility for the actions taken, learn from
them, and use the experience to build: A life of Balance.
A Warrior must constantly endeavor to be alert to the ever-changing
possibilities that lie on the path ahead, always drawing inspiration from
the path which lies behind, for Strength is the Knowledge drawn from the
past, and Discretion is the Wisdom of the Future which empowers the
Warior to build: A life of Peace.
A Warrior's mind is to be honed constantly, for the mind alone is the
Most Formidable Weapon the Warrior will ever possess. The Balance of
Knowledge and Wisdom IS the tempering of the steel that makes a Warrior
lending the Strength necessary to build: A life of Will.
A Warrior is born with three things...
A SPIRIT: A Warrior will carry a Shield of Honor, the Strength of which
is in Perfect Balance with the Honor of the Warrior.
A Warrior will carry a Sword of Truth with an edge that mirrors the
Warrior's Honesty and Inner Peace.
A Warrior will wear a Helmet of Integrity with power matched only by the
Will of the Warrior.
While battles can be fought and won with the Well-Trained Body, while
wars can be waged and won with the Tempered and Sharpened Mind, the Most
Perilous Test a Warrior will face is the Test of the Spirit. Here the
Gods give no Gifts. A Warrior will have ONLY the Strengths of the Spirit
that have been developed in the short life on the physical plane.
A Warrior is born with three things: A Body, A Mind, A Spirit... With
these three things a Warrior must build a Life: A Life Eternal...
My name is Nite Hawk, and I was born with three things...
Thus it was, and so it is, and evermore shall be so!
