Spear of the Tatars
...Once, there was a warrior who embarked on many adventures. A young warrior and righteous hero who sometimes fought dragons, and at other times, fought in distant lands. He saved countless lives before eventually returning to his beloved wife. Across his many adventures, he wielded Damascus steel armaments, but in his final battle against the dragon, it is said he carried a single Tartar spear.
Was it the will of heaven taking form to save the people? Or perhaps...
The blade of one who crushed evil and fought for righteousness, the adventure and youth the young warrior carved into the earth...
Is all that a testament of blood and soul?
