What is courage?
True courage. The kind of bravery that is unparalleled and unmatched by anybeast. The courage that no creature can mistake or deny.
What creature can claim to posses that type of heroism?
Is courage that light beasts get in their eyes when they are about to die and are unafraid?
If so courage is a rare thing.
I have seen that light in few beings.
That look of fear leaving the body.
Is that what courage is?
Fear that has said its prayers? Or is it a feeling, a kind of instinct that says fear is for the weak. And I am strong.
Is that courage?
Maybe courage is just a thing at which they grasp at.
Hoping and wishing, but never reaching.
I do not know courage.
Or maybe I do.
I am feared and fearless.
Is fearlessness courage?
I do not think so. Fearlessness is merely an emotion, and emotions control your mind and ensnare your senses. Deluding you and clouding your head and thoughts.
No.
I do not know courage.
Nor do I fear.
Fear is that feeling you get that somebeast is watching you when your alone. The emotion of utter hopelessness when hope is dancing in and out of sight. Taunting and teasing.
Fear is weakness. And all that die under my blade must have some weakness. Or they would not be were they went.
Those who fear are impotent and powerless. They are weak and insubstantial.
Courage. Courage is power.
Power over the weak and the fearful.
Courage is picky.
It does not give out its power to just anybeast.
Courage tests creatures and tries them, makes them go through trials and tribulations. Courage does not come lightly.
It must be earned.
And in winning courage you must win respect with it.
For what is courage without the pride of coming by it through yourself and no otherbeast?
It is not inherited or passed on from onebeast to the next. A creature cannot sire courage.
Courage is not discriminating. Anybeast can have courage. Though it is hard to come by never the less.
I have seen it in Mice, Rats, Badgers, Foxes, and many others besides. Never in just one species.
Courage is open with its glory but withheld in its beneficence.
But fear. Fear is reserved.
It is hidden and obscure.
Fear does not show itself out in the open.
It waits for the right moment to attack. Then it pounces!
Fear is a coward.
And on cowardice it feeds.
I have not experienced fear.
I would care not to.
But courage. . .
That would be rapture
