I have always liked the response of one Northman named Hrafn the
Red, who, during an epic battle when his chieftain Sigurd asked him to bear the
sacred Raven banner he stated:
"Bear thine own devil thyself."
In
other words, keep away from temptation that you KNOW happiness and
safety cannot be found in. In the story, the banner had been woven by a
sorceress who promised victory as long as it was carried by a Northman
in battle. The catch was that whoever carried it would die soon after.
"BEAR THINE OWN DEVIL THYSELF." Try it out and come off conqueror.
Long live the fighters
