The Legend of Luke

Sometimes friends do go from us-it will happen more and more as you grow up, Chugg. But if you really love your friends, they're never really gone. Somewhere they're watching over you and they're always there inside your heart. -Martin

You will stay and help defend our cave against all comers, protect those weaker than yourself and honor our code. Always use the sword to stand for good and right, never do a thing you would be ashamed of, and never let your heart rule your mind ... And never let another creature take this sword from you, not as long as you live. When the time comes, pass it on to another, maybe your own son. You will know instinctively if he is a warrior. If not, hide the sword where only a true warrior who is brave of heart would dare to go and find it. Swear this to me, Martin.

When I need somebeast to tell me m'name I'll jolly well ask m'self. Pish tush! The very idea, tellin' a chap his own moniker!

Sometimes friends do go from us - it will happen ore and more as you grow up, Chugg. But if you really love your friends, they're never gone. Somewhere they're watching over you and they're always there, inside your heart.

It was also very sad at times, but does not sadness mingle with joy, to make us grow fully into the creatures we are?

Crack some ribs or crush a skull, Stuff down hearts ’til he is full, Rip paws and tails off any poor seabeast, Lock your cabin doors this night, Shake with terror, quake with fright, For the Bogle may invite you to his feast!

The young must grow old, Whilst old ones grow older, And cowards will shrink, As the bold grow bolder. Courage may blossom in quiet hearts, For who can tell where bravery starts? Truth is a song, oft lying unsung, Some mother bird, protecting her young, Those who lay down their life for friends, The echo rolls onward, it seldom ends. Who never turned and ran, but stayed? This is a warrior born, not made! Living in peace, aye many a season, Calm in life and sound in season, 'Til evil arrives, a wicked horde, Driving a warrior to pick up his sword.
