Quotes[]
- Change is the inevitability of life, little brother. We must believe that a higher purpose was served that day. A greater good will come from that tragedy. Mark my words, young Chan.
- -- Ting
- Little monk -- everything relates to everything else in this universe.
- -- Ting
- It all serves some purpose. In time...we shall come to know what it may be. Our brother monks' deaths brought you here...at this time...at this place...to play your part.
- -- Ting
- The Visitor said it was possibly the end of everything, Master.
- -- Chan
- Perhaps... but endings are usually the beginnings of something new, little borther. It is the nature of life -- change.
- -- Ting
- What is it, some sort of necromantic hopscotch?
- -- Hwen Mirage
- Your destiny lies within the portal. With all the courage you can muster...you must block the flow of energy until -- the others come to seal the breach.
