Description[?]:
| To many, the mighty Hand of the law can be likened to a flame to a weary traveler on a cold desert night, as the flames protect him the perils of both weather and beast, the wise traveler knows that just as the flames can consume his enemies they themselves can just as easily consume that which is precious to him, be it his supplies, his shelter or even his own very life. When the flames grow so strong, the weary traveler must take care and attend to them, lest they destroy what they were meant to protect. |
