The Stitched-Up Warrior is proud when he catches glimpses of his scars.
They have made him stronger, fiercer, cunning. What tried to stop him failed and was overcome by his strength.
At some point in the past these scars frightened him, he wished he never came to receive them. But the warrior knows that without such scars one has not been tested, not been pushed, not tasted blood.
A warrior without scars is mentally weaker, softer, tamer. He has not had the pleasure of coming face to face with great obstacles and overcoming them.
The Stitched-Up Warrior smiles at his scars, he knows that more are to come and waits with appreciation.
