❝ promise you’ll remain the good man i know. ❞
❝ only fools have no fear of death. ❞
❝ i am very much alive. but my patience is dying. ❞
❝ i’ll make sure you are remembered. as a great warrior…a wise leader. ❞
❝ the strength we need is all around us. ❞
❝ the past cannot hurt you. ❞
❝ this whole journey, and i never asked your name. ❞
❝ fear drives you to be stronger. fight harder. ❞
❝ sometimes…our only choice is to walk away from everything we know ❞
❝ we do what we must. that is why you and i are both survivors. ❞
❝ i can do good! i just…need practice. ❞
❝ may your next life be more peaceful than this one. ❞
❝ i knew it was too good to be true. ❞
❝ i’ll see what i can do. but if you’re lying to me… ❞
❝ you’re too comfortable with that power. ❞
❝ don’t ever try to kill me again. ❞
❝ turn your back on a foe…and you will die with a sword stuck in it. ❞
❝ youre not slipping away that easily. ❞
❝ just stay closed. keep your sword sheathed. and let me do the talking. ❞
❝ the things i saw still haunt my nightmares. ❞
❝ i dont even know if you’re real. ❞
❝ victories don’t have to feel good. ❞
❝ killing your own family…it’s harder than you could ever imagine. ❞
❝ it’s safer for everyone if i just disappear. ❞
❝ next time, leave some glory for the rest of us. ❞
❝ peace doesn’t always come quietly. ❞
❝ some people respond to kindness. others require a glimpse of steel. ❞
❝ i am nothing if not honest. ❞
❝ stop using people, and start thinking about how you can help them. ❞
❝ you’ve had your vengeance. don’t stand in the way of mine. ❞
❝ you don’t have to do it alone. ❞
❝ not all words need to be spoken. ❞
❝ there is time yet for revenge. i will savour their cries of pain when that time comes. ❞
❝ i have learned to love the cool, damp dark. ❞
❝ the last thing i saw was faces filled with hatred, rage… ❞
❝ you didn’t think you’d get rid of me that easily, did you? ❞
❝ we will celebrate when this is all over. ❞
❝ what’s wrong with you? one moment we stand shoulder-to-shoulder, the next you’re ready to cross blades. ❞
❝ a warrior learns from their mistakes, or they are buried by them. ❞
❝ remember your training…and never leave my side. ❞
❝ well…i guess this is goodbye. ❞
❝ your visions will grow worse, driving you to madness and death. ❞
❝ i can only pretend for so much longer. i’m not like these people and never will be. ❞
❝ i loved you all my life, but i could never work up the courage to tell you. ❞
❝ the proud do not last, and the mightiest of us perish like dust before the wind. ❞
❝ you’re a vision of mercy. ❞
❝ not bad, but only half-good. ❞
❝ we make a good team, don’t we? ❞
❝ an archer’s aim relies not on eyes…but on body, mind, and spirit. ❞
❝ this is my fight. i don’t need your weapon. ❞
❝ being right doesn’t always make things better. ❞
❝ there is nothing easier than to prey upon the vanity of ambitious men. ❞
❝ you weren’t looking so good. i let you rest. ❞
❝ your intentions this time were…better than usual. ❞
❝ what are you not telling me? ❞
❝ trouble sticks to you like shit on rice. ❞
❝ it’s strange being back after so many years…everywhere i look brings back memories. ❞
❝ only a child expects perfection of their elders. ❞
❝ when this is all over, what will you do? ❞
❝ you are ruled by your emotion. ❞
❝ is this how you want to be remembered? ❞
❝ perhaps great men share all the aspects of their lessers, but more. great wisdom, but even greater cruelty. ❞
❝ i cannot imagine the burden a leader like you must bear. ❞
❝ our greatest enemies are the greatest teachers. ❞
❝ death’s shadow embraces me. hand in hand we walk. ❞
❝ breathe. you can’t fight if you hold your breath. ❞
❝ i know you well enough by now, my friend. ❞
❝ i can’t go back…to what i was. before this. ❞
❝ i hope you one day forgive me for the choice i made. ❞
❝ the wounds you dealt my spirit will never heal. ❞
❝ why did you turn away from me? ❞
❝ if you can keep moving forward, so can i. ❞
❝ it’s a bad idea to sneak up on me. ❞
❝ promise me something. don’t become like me. ❞
❝ let me undo the damage i’ve done. ❞
❝ …and you want me to clean up your mess. ❞
❝ the path ahead may take a lifetime, but i will walk it with you. always. ❞
❝ whatever you believe i’ve become, i will always be your family. ❞
❝ i wouldn’t be here without you. ❞
❝ i’ll hunt you past the horizon if i must. ❞
❝ can i count on you to do what needs to be done? ❞
❝ that’s over now. you’re here. with me. ❞
❝ i thought i’d lost you, i should’ve known you’d never give up. ❞
❝ you can’t continue down this path. ❞
❝ be careful. demons are everywhere and they fear nothing. ❞
❝ corpses can’t answer questions. ❞
❝ you deserve greater respect than this. ❞
❝ it’s just like the stories my father told me. ❞
❝ what you become tomorrow is your choice. ❞
❝ just ask the last man who questioned my sincerity. you’ll find his head covered in flies out back. ❞
❝ you shouldn’t have lied. i still would have helped you. ❞
❝ we came this far. we’re not turning back now. ❞
❝ how do we survive if we don’t trust each other? ❞
❝ without my help, the fear and pain will overwhelm you. ❞
❝ whatever happens, we don’t retreat. ❞
❝ the stories are true. i’ve never seen anyone fight like you. ❞
❝ see how the enemy fear you? you are a true warrior. ❞
❝ you want to share a drink…with me? ❞
❝ maybe you should’ve just ran away. like you always do. ❞
❝ good people have nothing to fear from me. ❞
❝ your promises are just like you. worthless. ❞
❝ as you wish, since you asked so sweetly. ❞
❝ i know better than to argue. ❞
❝ i hope i can find quiet places like this one, untouched by war. ❞
❝ we grew up together, but you threw it all away. ❞
❝ it was so chaotic. i felt you grip my wrist and then nothing. ❞
❝ desperation can bring out the demon in the best of men. ❞
❝ i don’t want to leave without you, but…i can’t stay. i hope you understand. ❞
❝ a grown man, and you still can barely sit still. ❞
❝ and i heard you had no sense of humor! ❞
❝ knowing and doing are different. ❞
❝ trouble follows me everywhere. ❞
❝ indulging violence weakens the warrior…like too much food or drink. ❞
❝ i can always tell when you want to ask me something. out with it. ❞
❝ i am proud to fight beside you. ❞
❝ i didn’t nurse you back to health to watch you throw your life away. ❞
❝ all i want…all i need is to start a new life. ❞
❝ look twice and shoot once. ❞
❝ i think they’re afraid of you. you can be…intimidating.. ❞
❝ you don’t even try to hear me. it’s like talking to a stone. ❞
❝ so you try to kill me? have you lost your mind? ❞
❝ you’ve sacrificed everything. for revenge. ❞
❝ we can’t let anger consume us. or blind us to our friends. ❞
❝ there is only one way this ends. ❞
❝ i gave you everything. and you threw it away. ❞
❝ do not question my integrity again. ❞
❝ your father would be proud. ❞
❝ the worst one can do is take advantage of their own people. ❞
❝ you follow trouble. you should ask yourself why. ❞
❝ some of my favourite memories happened at this place. ❞
❝ i told you this was a bad idea! ❞
❝ keep fighting. we need people like you. ❞
❝ are you the one who finally kills me? ❞
❝ a warrior’s most important weapon is themself. lose control, and you risk defeat. ❞
❝ first, get some rest. this is killing you. ❞
❝ see that? i told you. there’s always hope. ❞
❝ i hope the skills i gained through hardship can be of use to the people here. ❞
❝ you have skill…but you nearly died rushing into battle. ❞
❝ in the midst of battle, true leaders must stay rooted, stand firm. ❞
❝ every time i get in a mess like this, i’m as scared as the time before. ❞
❝ don’t be the next to disappoint me. ❞
❝ save what we can, but know that everything passes away. ❞
❝ i hope you understand, this is just a job. ❞
❝ that’s a sad way to look at the world. ❞
❝ seeing you like that…i’m still shaken up. ❞
❝ sit with me a moment. ❞
❝ doubt and indecision have destroyed armies. ❞
❝ it’s so painful to…see you weighed down by sadness. ❞
❝ on the slim chance some good comes of this…lead the way. ❞
❝ you fought well, but we’re finished. ❞
❝ the warrior’s mind is quiet but alive, like rustling bamboo. ❞
❝ i’ve trained with a blade since i could walk. ❞
❝ the visions…they’re still happening. ❞
❝ in our world, being intimidating isn’t a bad thing. ❞
❝ you have a talent. it’s time you use it, for the sake of our land. ❞
❝ i’ve tried to teach you all i know…but you act more like a poet than a warrior. ❞
❝ your path leads to madness and death. ❞
❝ that’s twice you saved my life. ❞
❝ these people stay because they believe in you. ❞
❝ i didn’t choose this life. it was my only option. ❞
❝ you came at me like i was your mortal enemy. almost broke my arm! ❞
❝ i could use your help…in the fight ahead. ❞
❝ you can be a little rough, but you have a good heart. ❞
❝ i don’t want to kill you, stop! ❞
❝ what’s wrong? afraid i’ll get more famous than you? ❞
❝ war brings out who we truly are. ❞
❝ take care where you place your faith. ❞
❝ you seem lost in thought. ❞
❝ i was getting tired of waiting for you. ❞
❝ without my wisdom, you will lose your soul to madness. ❞
❝ peace is an unattainable dream…but a dream worth fighting for. ❞
❝ i’ve killed a thousand men. every death was sweet. ❞
❝ what is the point of prayer when we are doomed? ❞
❝ you’re like your father in more ways than you know. ❞
❝ if you want my respect, earn it. ❞
❝ and how many wars have you fought? ❞
❝ you’re quite the butcher with that sword. ❞
❝ people who sow chaos must be punished. ❞
❝ i can’t help but wonder if you enjoy the violence. ❞
❝ i kill only to protect our people. i think about that every time i reach for my sword. ❞
❝ i’m sorry if my lack of skill offends. ❞
❝ it’s the first time in days i haven’t felt like i was about to die. ❞
❝ you fought like an animal…or a demon! ❞
❝ there’s nothing more painful to me than a perfect bow…ineptly used. ❞
❝ victory is won by warriors, not weapons. ❞
❝ i couldn’t leave you to die. ❞
❝ i made my choices. even knowing what they’ve cost me, i’d make them again. ❞
❝ when’s the last time you slept or ate? ❞
❝ you don’t get to give up. this land needs you. ❞
❝ oh you pretend we are different, but we fight for the same thing. ❞
❝ there are still places of beauty to remind us of what truly matters. ❞
❝ true mastery begins where individual ego ends. ❞
❝ a warrior faces danger with courage and resolve. this is how they endure. ❞
❝ those stories…they’re not entirely true. ❞
❝ even the youngest warrior needs a full belly and a rested sword-arm. ❞
❝ bad men are good at hiding their true natures. ❞
❝ there is nothing left for me here. my hope is lost. ❞
❝ i did what i had to. for you. ❞
❝ forgive my manners. i spent all my time alone. ❞
❝ is that any way to greet a visitor? ❞
❝ if you continue down this path…you’ll be no better than the enemy. ❞
❝ i am grateful for the times we share…but, i always want more. ❞
❝ you lived your life in a castle. it made you soft. ❞
❝ i used to know what i fought for… ❞
❝ face them as a warrior with honour. not a monster. ❞
❝ i don’t take lives, but i am not a coward. ❞
❝ i wonder if i’ve crossed a line. ❞
❝ you can’t expect everyone to understand what you’re doing, or why. ❞
❝ your methods were brutal…impulsive…without honour. ❞
❝ there’s plenty to fear without worrying about folktales. ❞
❝ i hope you’ll find peace again soon. ❞
❝ you do what you need to survive. and yet you despise others for doing the same. ❞
❝ is that your excuse? your reason to kill? ❞
❝ we have to keep pushing. even if it costs us our lives. ❞
❝ cowards without honour deserve no mercy. ❞
❝ i’ll fight beside you until the end. ❞
❝ whatever happens, your forgiveness won’t change who i am. ❞
❝ why should we settle for scraps when we deserve to be legends? ❞
❝ only cowards strike from the shadows. ❞
❝ the proud do not endure. the greatest of us fall in the end. ❞
❝ perhaps some good will come of this. ❞
❝ you will see nothing but death to the end of your days. ❞
❝ legacy is more than a name. ❞
❝ im sorry. i know what it means to lose family. ❞
❝ one day we’ll escape the endless wheel of suffering. ❞
❝ is that a ‘thank you’? ❞
❝ i know what it means to be hunted. ❞
❝ you personify fury and regret. ❞
❝ that’s all right. i want to hear you dig your own grave. ❞
❝ either way, we’ve got nothing to lose. ❞
❝ i’ve done what i can. the rest is up to you. ❞
❝ forgive me, but you look fatigued. have you endured much hardship? ❞
❝ i hope you find true honour in your next life. ❞
❝ you deserve nothing less than death. ❞
❝ this is foolish. surrender, and you can live. ❞
❝ i too have pride in family. and i know what it’s like to live in their shadow. ❞
❝ you were gone so long, i knew you were in trouble. ❞
❝ so many of us here owe you our lives. ❞
❝ what’s wrong? what did they do to you? ❞
❝ you’re lucky to be alive. ❞
❝ i know your language. your traditions. your beliefs. which village to tame and which to burn. ❞
❝ i cannot lose you again. ❞
❝ i don’t seek revenge. but i will fight for peace. ❞
❝ we will meet again soon. until then…travel safely. ❞
❝ this is war — not a test. ❞
❝ we can save our home together. it doesn’t have to be like this. ❞
❝ fear is a weapon. don’t let them use it against you. ❞
