Companion: His sword's not just a tool but a friend
His sword moves: to protect him from unseen danger
Sword Breath: His sword breathes slashing wind waves
Sword Soul: His sword has a soul though his breath
Sword Soul: Gives his sword preternatural sharpness
"What Differentiates What Is And Isn't Alive?"
An ancient martial doctrine says it is "breath"
Those that have breath are alive
Even the trees themselves breath
And only when they stop permanently do they stop being
Kreislen took this approach & gave his sword life
Within his hands, as long as he breathes, his sword is an extension of himself
Therefore, his sword is alive, & lives through him
