[Kain is still a little pale and sick-looking, but... he's alive.]

I've returned from true death twice now. I wonder whether this makes my luck better than average... or far worse.

[Worse for the dying in the first place, but better because... well, twice now he's faced what he thought was an eternal end for him, and come back both times. Kain pauses for a moment, gathering his thoughts. Going through death again reminds him though, of an important thing about what he saw.]

That dragon in the dream... I've encountered it before. All of Cosmos' warriors would have at the end of every cycle, whether they recall it or not. Its significance cannot be underestimated.

There's something to be said for a heroic sacrifice, I suppose.

It had to be done. We had all made our choice in the end. I would certainly call the comrades with me heroic, anyway...

[Never himself though.]

It's honorable, to take the blow so that others might survive. I hope that those who survived were grateful.

[Honorable? Him? Kain is sure he's mistaken on that.]

You could say so... they lived to end the cycles of war. That's all that mattered to me.
