A lesson without pain is meaningless, for you cannot gain something without sacrificing something else in return, but once you have overcome it and made it your own...you will gain an irreplaceable, fullmetal heart.
I am the bone of my sword.
Steel is my body and fire is my blood.
I have made over a thousand blades.
Unknown to death, nor known to life.
Have withstood pain to create many weapons.
Yet, those hands will never hold anything.
So as I pray, 'Unlimited Blade Works'."
Truth? Meaning? Worlds like those... They ain't got a thing to do with me or my life.
I never cared about Justice, Never called myself a Hero. I fight for my friends and loved ones. If an Enemy Appears in front of me, I won't Hesitate, I will Destroy it!
On men and gods alike, in the end, night falls. For men, that darkness comes with merciful swiftness, but for gods and heroes, the idols of a race, the darkness may never come, as they hang suspended in the glow of an endless twilight, their believers dwindling, but unable to turn away, their accomplishments distorted or romanticized, and their characters slowly bleached into mere caricature.
Under some supreme irony, the greater the hero, the greater the power attributed to the god, the longer and more agonizing the twilight of belief, as if each moment of power and each great deed requires more than mere atonement...
The question that has haunted my being has been answered: The future is not fixed. My choices are my own. And yet, how ironic, for I now find I have no choice at all! I am a warrior... let the battle be joined.
Innocence is the cost of Justice.
Blood is the price for Freedom.
Vigilance is required for Safety.
Sanity is the sacrifice needed for Knowledge.
Just be careful how much you sacrifice, and what you're sacrificing it for.
Otherwise you may achieve unwanted enlightenment.
