" My father told me great tales of you." - "Really? And what did you hear?" - "Fairy tales. The kind you hear about people so brave, so selfless, that they can't be real."

"Maybe that was the best part,” I said, "the discovery. And that I no longer entertain a deception. That I know now I truly love being the little devil that I am."

"I see in your eyes the same fear that would take the heart of me. A day may come when the courage of men fails, when we forsake our friends and break all bonds of fellowship, but it is not this day. An hour of woes and shattered shields, when the age of men comes crashing down, but it is not this day. This day we fight! By all that you hold dear on this good Earth, I bid you stand, Men of the West!"

"I will die in battle that I am certain of. But I hope to die in a battle of my choosing. But if it is to be this one, do not bury me in our sad little cemetery, burn me and cast my ashes to a strong eastern wind. "

This is your last chance. After this, there is no turning back. You take the blue pill - the story ends, you wake up in your bed and believe whatever you want to believe. You take the red pill - you stay in Wonderland and I show you how deep the rabbit-hole goes...

That's all you need to know about me.
