They bury themselves in the blood and tears of those who have fallen, and create something so beautiful, it gives those who have no hope, a shining star to wish upon. They use their arms as crutches for others, and with every finger, they spread dreams. They are inventors, creators, inspirers. They are servants for the one, the almighty.
