Project Symbols
Sacred Sword
The main character gets the Sacred Sword after winning the battle curated by the Guide. It is a symbol of his victory and strength, but at the same time his burden that he will have to bear. The sacrifice made for the sake of this sword is too significant to forget about it.
There are symbols created long before our birth. The symbols that have seen so many beared sacrifices are considered as an essential part of public and private life. Mastering them endows with power anywhere where these symbols matter. But do not forget that the symbols are not the permanent truth. This is just another story created by a human-being which dictates the way we should spend our lives from the birth till the end.

Wolf's Shield
After parting with a friend who opts for a different dream, the Knight gets rewarded with a unique gift — the Wolf's Shield and at the same time he learns a valuable lesson. For the first time, he comes to understand that one can gain strength from defending someone. With this knowledge in mind he is able to restrain himself from exasperation and disappointment.
The tragedy of man's path tends to go hand in hand with a contradiction of destruction and defence. To protect the loved ones, man must take resources away, expand influence and compete. If man only defends himself, he will be nowhere near to create something. If he only attacks, he will destroy everything, turn into a tyrant.
It can be assumed that the genuine manhood lies in the ability to combine these two concepts.

Knight's Axe
The knight commences his journey with a battle axe in his hand. It can hardly be called a weapon that is worthy of the conventional image of a knight. This indigenous weapon of war demonstrates the poverty and deprivation of its owner, who cannot even afford an ordinary sword.
Society is divided into the groups according to the principle of the relation and the intellect. For ambitious men who are deprived of wealth and political or economic power, it is almost impossible to open up to the world and build a great life, so they have only one way left - the path of constant confrontation with the society. Such men are filled with jealousy for the best and they continually strive to win their happiness.
But is it possible to grow a garden tearing its flowers?

Maze
People's lives resemble a convoluted maze due to an interminable amount of ideas about the way a human's life should be. Some people come to manipulate such perceptions as love, friendship, duty, happiness, dreams, the good and the evil. These concepts are given a numerous pile of thoughts which ultimately creates a complicated puzzle.
Thus people wander from one idea to another, taking their first deadlock as a truth and victory of their minds over the essence of time. Men are especially zealous for ideas if you come to look at the history of wars and revolutions.
Unfortunately, the way out from this maze is actually in another place and it is one and the same for all.

Envy Cup
The Envy Cup is an attribute of the Guide, who leads the main character and other lost knights through misty forests. Having tasted the Guide's decoction from a bowl, the knights try a so-called forbidden fruit, the knowledge of the best. And this knowledge turns them into rivals in the struggle for the possession of an adequate dream - a remote castle on the horizon.
Any idea should have its creators, and those who prove its value are the guides. Time after time, the guides will keep maintaining the yearn for the symbol so that there will be always someone who will be willing to gain power over it.
It may seem that the Envy Cup gives the chosen one the power to stand out as a courageous and fearless man who would do whatever it takes to possess the trophy. However, there is no end in human desires. Thus anyone who is brave enough to empty the Envy Cup will have his blood replaced by its poisonous contents.

Knight's Handkerchief
All along the way the Knight carries a handkerchief with a picture of a rose. This item may seem insignificant against the background of vicissitudes happening to the main character. The Knight himself does not attach importance to it. However, he got it when he was a different person. The one who wasn’t ready yet to empty the Envy Cup.
Yearning for a dream to be fulfilled is as strong as the desire to find love. But this is not about love of one person to another. The dreamer craves for love from the whole world. For that, he would have to conquer each and everyone so that he can make his dreams come true.
It would have been better if we learned both major and minor importances at the same time. Maybe if you do the opposite, you will be able to avoid major tragedies.

Master's Crown
The crown is the main prize of a zealous dreamer and the Sacred Sword's master. But when the Knight invades the castle's palaces, he discovers the ruins in the moonlight. There is no powerful ruler who sit enthroned. Instead he encounters a time exhausted ghost who is willing to abandon his throne and farewells his pathetic life.
A continuous search for something genuine among his own pitfalls and other people's idols, facing failures in love and friendship, yearning for social recognition, unparalleled prowess and elusive power, the character comes to realize that he turned into someone he used to hate.
When the Knight takes the crown from the Master, he realizes that he will now repeat his fate. He will sit on the throne and will wait for a new jealous person who wants to defeat the dragon. And without any doubt he will take his place.

Rose Flower
Anyone wants to be understood and accepted, wants attention. Anyone needs warmth of the embrace and the acceptance of their ideas; it is an affection for the soul. Even a villain wants to be loved. But people don't need each other just like that.
We are forced to seduce, deceive and sacrifice for love. We have to waste other people's time, take away their attention and energy. But there is no other way. If we do not do this, then we sink in loneliness and do not fulfill ourselves.
What is a person capable of feeling love? The person can take on the world, take someone’s life or sacrifice their own, just to reach the cherished flower of love. The person can betray someone else's love for their own.
But the worst thing that the person can do is decide that only they of all people deserve love.

Knight & Night
The flame of ambition is the energy of the man that makes him dream and transform the world. This fire leads him along the way towards his future, and where there is no way, it forces him to create one. This fire feeds you when you have to endure the routine of the path. However it cannot warm you, but enables to cope with the coldness of night. It burns you, but makes you feel alive.
But once a man burns out so do his believes and the inner demons he fought. And with his fading spark, a new Knight comes, stepping over the endless desert of his predecessor's ashes and illuminating the night with his torch. He will perform a funeral rite or condemn the memory of his forebear. There is no doubt that then he will ignite his own fire and in its bright flames he will see a whole world, which would not be big enough for him.
The night fades away and the story repeats itself. But what is our part in it? Who will be the main character? Who will give up his part? Who will be a cunning guide? Who is destined to be pushed down from the throne? Or maybe someone will find the strength and find their true genuine self? But the question is ... What then is the true Self? Maybe a wish for a better share? Or maybe an escape from someone else's will? Indulging selfishness, isolating yourself from others?
Or maybe we need to accept that we are only part of the universe?
