Life before Death.
Strength before Weakness.
Journey before Destination.

I will protect those who cannot protect themselves.

I will protect even those I hate, so long as it is right.

All that is gold does not glitter,
Not all those who wander are lost;
The old that is strong does not wither,
Deep roots are not reached by the frost.
From the ashes a fire shall be woken,
A light from the shadows shall spring;
Renewed shall be blade that was broken,
The crownless again shall be king.
