Dear Marron,
Your letter reached me in good time, and I'm glad to hear of your certification—well earned, I'm sure. The knives continue to serve you well, as they should. Whisperwind steel recognizes skill when it cuts through the world.
But I'm writing primarily about your other news: the Legendary Tools.
You asked about the copper pot, whether you'd made a mistake in thinking it was special. I cannot tell you definitively whether the pot you found is what you're seeking—that's something only you can determine through use and understanding. But I can tell you this: Legendary Tools are rarely what people expect them to be.
Most who seek them imagine weapons that blaze with power, artifacts that announce themselves with thunder and light. But the truly powerful tools are often quiet. They work with their wielder, not for them. They require understanding, patience, partnership.
