~ The Adventurer Chronicle 12 ~
"... In the year I spent in the cross-sky 7 peaks, I once was in a long discussion with my master... He asked me a question: - There is only one situation where the war is lost, and there is no point in battling, do you know what is it?"
I tried to argue with him, for a long time I said, the war is over when your opponent is stronger I said, the war is over when you have no more strength to fight, the war is lost when you die... I now recognize that I said many things wrong...
When he came to me the day Iwas parting, he asked me if I discovered the answer. I said that there was no answer to that question, he looked at me and said after a few seconds: "You have a nice journey, but until you find the real answer to that question you won't be able to attain the true power of my teaching, maybe thatis the most importante thing I will ever teach you. Farewell."
And then I left, giving little thought to his words. Recently I began to think about all that I have been through. I overcame Death, fought much stronger enemies, found strength when I didn't imagine I had... I basically did the imporrsible in my life.
So I thought never the war would be lost... but now I finally understand when the war would be over......... when there is no more reason to fight."
