The Crucible
A test, a fiendishly hot environment, a stressful time. A searing blade stands in the center while 7 more linger in the background. Some stand guard, observing and waiting, while a certain few fall shattered to the floor from the stress of unforgiving heat.
Opportunity
Now is your opportunity to enter the crucible and come out stronger than you ever have, or be destroyed trying. This is the time to use all your faculties to learn as much as you can from the situation and emerge victoriously.
Courage and Sacrifice
There is no courage without fear, no gain without sacrifice.
Depiction
The swords depicted are medieval arming swords from ~1200-1400.
