Am I a hero? Did I sacrifice too much at the altar of victory? Do my triumphs outweigh my mistakes? War is a clash between conscience and necessity, an ocean of chaos and bloody compromise. War shapes history, and history chooses its heroes. As for you, mercenary... You made the liberation of the Aurigan Reach a reality. Every trial I faced would have been my last without your skill on the battlefield. I still don't know if you fought for honor, or for the thrill of it. For belief in my cause, or just my money. But whether it was your noble heart or mercenary mind... your actions gave us hope. That makes you a hero in the eyes of history. And you know what? It doesn't matter if you believe it. Because others do, as I believed in the heroes of my father's stories. After all, when we are gone... Stories are what remain.
