"Yes. I know what I am to face. I know how that ride ends for Iskandar, King of Conquerors."
No one had to tell him the answer to that. He knew what the result would be. It was something he'd embraced the very moment he'd told Waver to live, the very moment he'd galloped forth. There would be no winning that battle because a number of circumstances had ensured he wouldn't be strong enough for it. That was just how things were and he'd decided to see it to the end with a smile on his face.
What better end for him than with a smile after all? It was how he wanted to be remembered.
Yet here was this boy who was now a man. One who had lived with that final memory weighing so heavily in his heart. It could have broken him but instead he'd kept his word and had lived. Perhaps he knew little of all the details but the fact that he'd lived at all said so much to this Spirit.
"It does. So we could spend our time dwell on what is and what shall be or we can focus on what we have currently. Which shall you do, Waver Velvet?"
