"I have no problem with killing. I have killed many dragons. Many."

But JJ isn't a dragon.
-
"Exactly. He's a member of this dojo, like me
-
Exactly, this is what the Dojo was built off of. Kill another and eat their corpses. Kinda barbaric now, but the fighting and killing remain. Plus I know the Deity wouldn't let anyone die.

"That's a fair point."

*He places a hand on Nate's shoulder* Look, Nathaniel. I know what you're feeling. When I first got here I would have done the same. But... Time wore me down. I was unkindled, and I had to become a Lord of Cinder to save those around me. I sacrificed myself for people, and put my problems aside. I know that something similar could happen to you. I don't know when, but your time will come.

"My time for what? I'm just an 18 year old."
-
And I was seventeen when I had to escape the Underworld guards and my home state.
-
"You were?"
-
*He nods* And I'm not proud of it. Had my present day self been there lives could have been saved
-
"Maybe... Maybe I will get a chance."
-
You will get a chance. Someday. You may not be prepared then, but it will come
-
"I can only hope now."
-
Yes... In the meantime, don't feel bad for JJ. He knew that by doing this he could ultimately die.
-
"Yeah. You're right. He knew."
-
Yeah. *He nods slightly* So did ya see my fight with Cannon?
-
"Excellent fight. You did well."
-
Thanks
-
"Your welcome."
-
*Mortar sighs slightly* This is getting awkward...
-
"Yeah I think so as well."
