Who answers our questions when we met our end?
What happened here?
A war did.

Why was it started?
Foolish reasons.

What reasons?
Hatred.

That's it?
Nope.

What else then?
Fear, the fear of an adventure.

Fear of an adventure?
Yes, the fear of an adventure.

What kind of adventure is it?
The greatest adventure of all.

What kind of adventure is it?
It depends on the adventurer.

Then who is the guide of the adventurer?
I am the guide.

How long have you been doing this?
Since the beginning of time.

How can you do that for so long?
I am unable to die.

Why are you unable to die?
Because I am who I am.

Have you traveled?
To the farthest reaches of the universe.

Then you have seen a lot of things?
No, I have not.

Yet you are so old?
Yes.

So what have you seen?
I've seen only death and killing.

Why is that all you've seen?
Because I am who I am.

Why is it you are who you are?
I don't know.

Well why don't you know?
I never needed to.

But every person knows why they are who they are!
No, they have no clue why they are who they are.

Poppycock! Of course we do!
Then enlighten me friend.

We are who we are because that's the way we were made.
Wrong.

Then why are we who we are?
Because of fear and a question.

What fear?
A fear all mankind has.

What fear?
The fear of dying.

What is the question then?
No more questions.

Why? I want to know!
You have just answered yourself.

Why? Why what?
It is time to go.

But I must know! Why what?
Your time has come my friend.

Where am I going?
On you final and greatest adventure.
