The great Lord Arantaurus once found an enchanted axe
right at the moment he was sure that all hope was lost,
and prevailed against impossible odds
at the very last moment.

Alshyah of the Broken Branch, a warrior woman of
ages past, wielded the double-sided Labyrus
in war, yet also used it to chop wood
in peace.

We often hear that one should never give up, even when all
hope is lost, because right up to the last moment,
something unexpected may happen.

We also hear that every tool can also be a weapon,
and that every good can be used for bad ends.

Both of these seemingly unrelated statements
 are just two sides
of the same thing.
