[i]"Yet can't you see the truth of this place? There is prejudice against your own members, Zane. The infighting now escalates to every simpleton's grab for their "ultimate power," and I trust must say: This place hasn't changed one but from the last time I left it."[/i] He chuckled, the whispers of his flames intensifying to more aggravated voices - yet even still, Zane could not hear their words. [i]"Do you remember why I cut out my tongue, Zane? It was because this place would heed my words no further. It was because I was exiled for doing what had to be done to keep this Dojo alive. But that is of no matter now. Be it your words or mine... Peace has been broken. And the peacekeeper, the war monger, the parish and the martyr has returned to show those who break tranquility that there is something terrifying lying in wait; hiding in consequence. Ready yourself, Zane. And rejoice, because I give you this chance to ready yourself out of what little honour I can hold on to."[/i]
