The war is coming to an end. I'm walking away from the battlefield. I cannot stand the sight of immortals fighting for their lives. It's stupid and I'm exhausted. I will not stand where I stood.
I'm walking away.
What will the universe make of the remaining warriors? They are baffled, you see - softened too. They do not know what they are fighting - why they are fighting - to what end they are fighting. They are like kids- who go on playing games after games - winning or losing does matter to them - but they do not know why. I know why - for another game!
Why fight when there is no ultimate victory? Remember, everything is a game - your life, my life. You do not fight for mine, neither do I for yours.
Go on, then - have your glory - shine through ages. The history will remember you as a savior - a survivor - perhaps even a hero.
But to me, you're like that dumb kid - only with a more childish game. You are immortal - but you will keep on fighting until you die. To me - you're that dumb kid.
