Level 40 quote

I learned the sword from one of my fellow Four Riders, Gawain. He was a general without compare... I fought my master, and I won. However, by then he had already cast aside his true skill. This means I have not truly surpassed him. But defeating one whose strength rivaled his own could be another means of achieving that goal. I have forever longed for such a battle. Not everyone would understand such drive, but as one who also lives by battle, I thought that perhaps you... Well, that is all.

Here to check on me, are you? I am surprised you'd spare time for someone like me. How generous. I have seen the way you cut to the heart of the matter, and deliver even the cruelest order without hesitation... Your rationality befits the battlefield. But, <player>... You are still young. Do not rush. Results are not everything, and you will find your own answers in time. It is sometimes only possible to realize how precious something is until[sic] after you've lost it. You may do what you want with this advice. However, if ever you cannot see the road ahead... I will cleave a path for you with my blade—straight through your enemies. I vow this on my contract with you, and on my holy sword.

Level 40 quote

This festival has afforded me a rare opportunity to reflect upon what it means to be a knight. To cross swords with worthy foes in order to become stronger is one aspect of knighthood. But only one. A knight must also serve a liege, so that the nation may remain stable and safeguard its people. It follows from this that a knight must also have a relationship with his liege's subjects. With that in mind, if there is anything I might wish for, it would be... No. Now is not the time. For the moment, I will devote myself fully to protecting the peace.

Level 40 quote

Ninja lurk in the shadows, working in the service of secret masters. In stealth and combat skill, they excel. I, too, once operated in secret, concealing my visage and identity. In that way, I, too, am a ninja. Or at the very least, what I did was not totally different. I am a knight, and always will be. But I have learned much from using more of the ninja's techniques. You must always be looking to grow your skills. That is what my master taught me.
