“There is no shame in losing to the sword of the Prince. There is only shame in choosing not to follow Him.”

“Look into my eyes...' the Prince said. I have been calling you. The peace you seek you will find if you follow Me.”

“The time of my departure is here. Place your hand gently on the soil beside my own, and feel the rumble of the earth beneath. The power of a thousand thousands is coming... evil warriors fighting against the Noble One. Here I stand with Him. Take up your sword and come with me, for the Prince is calling. And if you do not go... who will?”

“I followed Him for His wisdom. But served Him for His goodness.”

“Were you acquainted with me, you would know that my failings are equal to my victories. On my own, I am no more than a pauper. It is the Prince for whom I live and for whom I fight. He raised me from the mire and made me a son. I will aspire to serve Him to the utmost, and perhaps my duty to Him will be fulfilled more as a herald than as a warrior, for if my quill and ink capture your attention and cause you to ponder the chronicles of this great kingdom and the story of the Prince, then I am content.”

“The problem with wearing a dress is that it clashes with a sword.”

“In this short time you have already become as a brother to me.''That is what the Prince creates between men--brotherhood.”
