"The Phoenix of Blues, right?" Said a rather young voice from behind the Armoured woman, the sounds of footsteps becoming louder as she approached.
"Quite the monument." Her eyes grazed over the sculpture, it's jagged and smooth edges.
She was glad in a dark brown leather armour, with a black cape flowing down her back and going to her waist.
Her hair was cut short, almost shoulder length, and she bore a mask on her face that cover her lips and nose, leaving her eyes exposed.

[i]The soldier turned, looking to the woman behind him, surprised to hear another voice.[/i] "Rather surprised to see that those here still remember the Cobalt Phoenix." [i]He said, his voice calm, sounding metallic through his helmet.[/i] "It seems that many of them have forgotten their history."
-
"It's not only our history. It's the history of these walls. These buildings, right? I've heard stories, but never anything more than just stories." Her voice fell towards the end, simply staring at the statue
-
"I never knew him personally, but I had the opportunity to speak to him once or twice before. He knew my father and one of my friends well." [i]The man said, looking back at the statue.[/i]
-
"What stories have you heard? Are any of them true?" She asked this with a hopeful voice, searching for some indication that this statue actually meant [i]something[/i]
-
"He's the reason that this place still stands." [i]The soldier said.[/i] "He sacrificed himself to stop a civil war, and saved the Dojo from destruction in the process. The monument stands as a commemoration of his actions." "And I was told this by the very man he fought."
-
"Huh. I've only heard the term: History is written by the victors. Guess that's not true."
-
"Good and evil are arbitrary, mere perspectives. What lives on is the effect that events have when they shape the world. Perhaps what is remembered is what needs to be remembered for the sake of our survival." [i]He said.[/i]
-
"Quite a philosophical outtake on it all." The woman said, looking down at her feet awkwardly
-
"I wouldn't call it philosophical, more so realistic. Judgement is a matter of perspective." [i]He said.[/i]
-
"I suppose that's true enough." She said, looking back up at the statue
-
"I doubt he'd want this statue here, even after everything he's done. Not the kind of man to want fame and glory." [i]The soldier remarked, turning from the statue and looking back towards the Dojo. [/i]
-
"I don't think that this statue was meant for him. Just to commemorate this place as a whole."
