The Blade of Marmora 🌐

We often speak of our mission, of fighting for the greater good, but when the enemy is great and your hope is threadbare, all you can be driven by is the desperate desire to see a world where the ones you love can be happy and safe. And sometimes, that's more than enough.

Devotion is a double edged blade, but when wielded with love and a clear heart, can move mountains, shake the planets from their orbit, and overcome the impossible.

Kindness begets kindness. The act of saving someone can be as simple as empathizing with and reaching out to them, being sincere in listening to and being there for them.

Come join us this Saturday at 12:00pm, GMT+9! Mystery, suspense, and Halloween-themed game suggestions from itch.io are welcome in the meantime! Browser games are welcome, too. #vprp We hope to see you then @ twitch.tv/BladeofM 🎃

If you constantly tell yourself you are not skilled or ready yet for an opportunity, it is difficult to feel that you ever will be. Take courage. Learning is a constant. What better circumstances to do so than somewhere you know you'll want to grow in? #MarmoraMotivation

Recovery takes time. And there are days you will be called upon to act like nothing's wrong because you know there are people who need you, and rely on you. That is when you be brave. #MarmoraMotivation

So that we may focus on our cause with a clear head and a light heart. Tell your loved ones how much they mean to you before you regret not being able to. It may be difficult to do, but in the grander scheme of things, it yields more good than not. #MarmoraMotivation

There is an incredible amount of uncertainty in our line of work. Those we trained with today may be taken from us tomorrow. Emotions are a luxury we cannot afford. To keep, to harbor. And so we are straightforward with what we want to say to those important to us.

Death, in our creed - Knowledge or Death - was never confined to the physical. Stagnancy, neglect, apathy, forgetting and being forgotten are all Deaths. Never cease your pursuit of knowledge! #LifelongLearning #MarmoraMotivation

To you - artists, writers, music makers, actors, talents, creators, and entertainers - never underestimate the power of the stories you tell, the joy you bring and the beauty you make us see. Thank you for making life worth living and the fight worth winning.

Hope is sometimes all you can hold on to. Hope that things change, that it will be better. There are days when hoping is exhausting, and you'd rather leave the fight to someone else. Rest. Find an outlet. Remember what you're fighting for. Be refreshed when you rejoin the fray.

Be the change you want to see. The road may be difficult, lonely, and thankless, but those who see you but cannot be the change just yet will take courage. A small step is still a step to changing for the better. #MarmoraMotivation

Keep on creating. Tell the stories that matter to you. Write about the things you care for. Draw with love. And while not everything in life has happy endings and stories are better empathetic, please give hope. Give hope to yourself and those who see your stories.

There is no shame in being proud of your creations. While you are continuously learning about your craft, pride in what you can already do encourages positivity and confidence. Post your art, stories, music, and graphics proudly! #MarmoraMotivation
