Heron Wading in the Rushes

"There will come a time when youmust achieve a goal at all costs. Itmay come in attack or in defense.

And the only way will be to allowthe sword to be sheathed in your own body. ... when the price is
worth the gain, and there is no other choice left to you. That is called Sheathing the Sword. Remember it."
—Lan Mandragoran
