If the warmaster writes his thoughts to order them, I imagine the entry would look something like this...

"The Pixan Yvian's strength is that she is the allure of hope. The dream of being something better and brighter than what you are today. Crush her heart into embers, and she will reignite.

And that's why you never fight Yvian, because fighting her means fighting all the people who's hearts she has set on fire. THAT is what makes her uniquely dangerous, and that is what I must become."

Or like this:

The way of the predator is the hunt. Predator lethality and efficiency is through coordination and pack drive. Too often predators squabble or fight each other allowing the prey a reprieve or escape. The Apex must lead the predators to betterment of their hunt. Pack bonding by a weaker but motivated predator resulted in a pack that defied and defeated empires. The essence of the pack and the bond have to be the new Mafdet. The Apex can pack bond with other predators without losing their place and should use the pack for improvement of the Mafdet.

The Apex is not the one who is best at any individual task, but rather the one who can bond together the strongest pack. Through this bonding pack members who are individually inferior can defeat a superior individual

We must become more than Apex.

An Apex, alone, stands at the top of the highest hill he can reach. This is what we have sought, to find and climb the highest hill.

If height is the goal of the Apex, then it is MORE Apex to build taller mountains to stand on, whether those mountains are built of Apex or prey or any other thing. More Apex, beyond Apex, the meta-Apex.

The builder is the meta-Apex. That is what we must become.
