TMS-Supplementary Munitions

What then of the second?
I inquired.

“You are a warrior,
But you will be strengthened by the opening of your heart,
So that you can complete a task that no-one else can do.

It will and should not be without pain.
To allows one’s heart to truly resonate with that of others
Is to make oneself totally vulnerable to both joy and suffering.

This Misericorde, to be held alongside
The original blade, the Acinaces,
Shall be a broken heart, the edge to wield,
Unstoppable in its incision,
So long as the bearer is willing to pay the cost of each and every cut.

These tools can only be used,
Held at all,
By one surrendered to the Greater Will,
One who has been suffused in Love in the Way,
And if they should bring self-destruction it shall be to lay your life down for those you love.”

Therefore I prepared myself to heft these polar daggers,
To take the war of love to the battlegrounds
Of desire, despair, desolation and desecration.

My guide, the one who I had turned to for these thoughts,
Had not concluded yet.
