“Nor Shall My Sword Sleep in My Hand”[ID: 5 sequential illustrations with text. /1: “There once was a strong warrior who fought danger great and small to defend her people.” Page depicts a woman in leather armor and a blue cape. Beasts charge at her from all sides, but she bears a cocky grin and a sword. /2: “One day a heavy storm came down and a flood approached the village. The villagers called for the warrior’s help.” A long shot shows a medieval village in a canyon as curling waves flood toward it. /3: “The warrior knew only her sword, and she struck at the waters as she would a living foe.” The warrior holds her sword high, but she’s dwarfed by a huge wave about to crash onto her. /4: “The flood took no injury, and it angrily consumed the warrior and carried off her sword.” The flood covers the page in a concentric circle pattern. The warrior floats limply in the water and her cape flows into the waves. /5: “Remaining only in spirit, the warrior grieved but accepted her loss. She became one with the flood, and the wrath of the water trickled away.” A long shot of the canyon shows the flood circling around the village. At its end the water forms a figure with arms outstretched in victory. /End ID] -- source link
