"Stones shall be shattered! Shape will emerge. Thus the fire of art is born.
Foes shall be shattered! Glory will emerge. Thus the art of combat is born.
Warrior and Sculptor have the same profession.
Smashing the obvious will release the hidden.
Dissolving form will reveal the essence.
What is the essence? Nárë! Fire - it is the beginning of being and the world's ending!
There is no difference between cutting off arms and legs and smashing away needless stone. Ultimately both methods serve Ëa, and mastering them is service to the One who himself shaped Ëa.
The Great Sculptor shaped it, and still he shatters, what is unnecessary.
O Great Sculptor, summon a thousand ways of woe upon me!
Let me endure a thousand wars and a thousand labours, for the inborn strength shall come to light!
Strike me with thy hammer, for all that is waste shall be splintered and separated from me.
I am your stone. Hit, and hit hard! I am not easy to shape.
Put my abilities to test, for my thirst for mastery shall never fade!
Take away my form, for the essence shall emerge:
The inmost essence of fire!"
