There is no exercise better for the heart than reaching down and lifting people up.
After all, wanting to live, but accepting death to save others—that was courage.
And what Xavier said, Romero was a courageous man through and through.
Xavier's parents were about to kill him. They were about to sacrifice their own child to the First Flame in hopes for great power.
They tied the twelve year old Xavier to the table and raised their sword.
Both the mother and father held the same sword and they brought it down on Xavier.
But someone came right between Xavier and the sword.
It was…
"My kindest and dearest friend Romero."
Romero saved Xavier's life.
He saved him from dying.
Xavier wiped his tears as in silence, he carried on.
