"Shèng bù jiāo, bài bù něi" —
In victory, no arrogance; in defeat, no despair


Beneath the moon of Chang’an’s glow,
The victor sheathes his blade—he knows
No glory lives in endless strife,
No honor feeds on fleeting life.

By Yangtze’s flow, the weak will yield,
But steel is proved on Lingnan’s field.
Why strike the reed that bends with wind?
The true foe waits—unmoved, unbent.

The sage who shuns the worthy fight
To crush the frail, has lost the light.
For honor walks where strong men meet,
And wisdom kneels to none but steel.

soon they would venture beyond the safety of the Realm and out into the world. hoping to make his mark and fulfil his only contract.
