#the last hero

10domu08:

There was, there always was, at the start and the finish … the Code. They lived by the code. You followed the Code, and you became part of the Code for those who followed you. The code wasit. Without the Code, you weren’t a hero. You were just a thug in a loin cloth.

The code was quite clear. One brave man against seven … won. They knew it was true. In the past they’d all relied on it. The higher the odds, the greater the victory. That was the Code.

Terry Pratchett -  “The Last Hero”
