Title
The Hearth and the Blade
Artist's Pitch
"I have laid out a battleground of ink and parchment, illuminated by a fierce, warm beam of light striking the wooden wall. Attila will surely appreciate the sharp bronze dagger resting upon the books, for it is as keen and resolute as a conqueror's mind."
Judge's Verdict
You speak of ink and battlegrounds, yet you surround your blade with fragile cups of warm brew and piles of fluttering parchment, the weapons of weak men who hide behind words rather than striking with iron. Gold is the measure of a man's fear, and your little setup inspires no terror in my heart, for where my horse has trod, no grass grows and such petty clutter would be trampled to dust. Yet, I grant you this: the bronze blade rests there with a cold sharpness, showing a spark of proper resolve amidst your womanly desk-debris.
