I have walked the edge of the Abyss. I have governed the unwilling. I have witnessed countless empires break before me. I have seen the most courageous soldiers fall away in fear. [I was there with the Angel at the tomb]
I have seen your future. And I have learned.
There will be no more Sadness. No more Anger. No more Envy.
I HAVE WON.
