This is an era of prosperity and wise government, yet dangers abound and every step is precarious. Fortunately, whether amid splendid prosperity and bustling crowds, or through the flames of war, drifting yellow sands, and bleached bones, there are people by her side every step of the way.
A love that runs deep can endure the years. In this life, may we grow old together.
And the girl will eventually understand: keep your word, act on your promises, be true to your word, care nothing for your own life, and rush to a scholar's aid in times of distress. Even when life and death hang in the balance, never boast of your abilities. That is what it means to be a hero.
Theme: The years stretch on, but never forget your original purpose.
