Scarlet Leaves Pursue Wild Waves🍃 it's Kaedehara Kazuha's birthday 🎂 The Blade Within... Recently, I passed by a smithy. The ringing of the hammer was so clear that, for a moment, I thought I could see again the glow of the forge at my old home. Many people think of swords only as weapons for killing, as though a blade proves its worth only when it draws blood. But over the course of my travels, I have used a sword to carve bamboo into a flute and played a few notes into the autumn air. I have also used the back of a blade to free seabirds tangled in old nets, so they could return to the open wind. To me, a blade does not always need to leave its sheath. If it can open a way for someone who has lost their path, or free someone from what binds them, then the fire that forged it and the care of the smith were not spent in vain. A weapon has no feelings of its own. Where its edge is turned depends entirely on the heart of the one who holds it. The more mountains I cross, the more clearly I understand this. The long blade in my hand should be used to cut through the confusion of this world. As for the clear edge within my heart, I would have it protect only those I hold dear. I have enclosed a few whetstones with this letter. If dust or rust should gather on your blade, use them to polish it clean. And if your heart should ever become clouded or uncertain, may a clear wind stay with you and sweep away the gloom from the road ahead. #GenshinImpact #Kazuha
