rossiSo, here we are. After all these years, two of us left. Years of blood, combat, betrayal, destruction and loss. You and I.
And the prize.
It seems only a small thing, doesn't it? Nothing flashy, no choirs of angels, no heavenly spotlight. It seems hardly worth all the effort, does it? All that pain, the sacrifice, for so small a thing. Our families, our friends, our countries, our loves... all gone in the quest for the prize before us. Makes you think, doesn't it? Was it worth it? Can anything be worth that loss, fill the hole? Especially something so small, so... simple?
We could just... walk away. Let it lie, go back, end all this fighting. Make lives for ourselves that don't involve trying to kill each other. See? I'll put my weapon down. Let's end this. Walk away. Yes, just like that.
Psych!
They always fall for the old "I'll put my weapon down" trick. Come to daddy, you beautiful shiny thing.
