Hold to One

The way of the sword begins with the One, and ends with the One.

Yet in this world, sword-bearers are as numerous as hairs on an ox. Some wear swords at their waists, others carry them on their backs, and still others flaunt them in their hands as they stroll through the streets. After learning a move or two, they grow smug and proclaim themselves invincible. A sword is a weapon of violence, so why wield one? Is it to harm others, or to protect them? The Great Yu Dynasty was founded by the sword, yet now the sword threatens to bring it down. This paradox is a knot no one can untie, binding every sword-bearer.
