When the order to move on comes, the warrior looks at all the friends he has made during the time that he followed the path. He taught some to hear the bells of a drowned temple; he told others stories around the fire.
The heart is sad, but he knows that his sword is sacred and that he must obey the orders of the One to whom he offered to his struggle.
Then the warrior thanks his traveling companions, takes a deep breath and continues on, laden with memories of an unforgettable journey.
