[i]"Assassin, warrior, soldier, gladiator... All killers in the end, Zane. The Dojo was a haven for us killers to do what we do best: fight. Fight for honour, for that would be the last thing killers like us would have. And that honour is now dead, along with the true spirit of the Dojo. You're a warrior. Accept that."[/i]

He sighed, and continued to be frozen in place. "So what now, you just gonna leave me here?"

[i]"Killing you would be a waste. But know this: the true Dojo is dead. The only way it can truly live now is within us, the last of the honourable warriors. Family or not, take care in remembering that. Remember honour so you do not turn into the hatred-filled being I am."[/i] The fire around the two men begins to dissipate, as well as Phoenix's fire wings and extra arms. [i]"You now know that the greatest enemy is the one lurking within ourselves."[/i]

He accepts luis's words, burning them into his mind. "You uh, gotta remove these arrows or not?

The arrows disappear along with the numbness, leaving prickling points of sharp pain all over Zane.

He winces as he picks up his blade, sheathing it and walking up to Luis. "I take it your gonna leave again huh."

[i]"I am no longer a son of this Dojo. I am a spirit of the dead, days past long ago. Yet I shall life through this vessel of mine. Goodbye, Zane."[/i] The armour burns away, revealing the burnt corpse of a man different from Phoenix. His skin begins regrowing as he groans in pain, whispering one word. "Alister..."

More and more questions race through his mind, but he puts them aside for now. He winces as he picks up the burnt man, and carried him to the infirmary. After doing so, he returned home and spent the rest of the day with his wife, silent. [spoiler]End[/spoiler] [spoiler]Master of mind fûckery[/spoiler]
