It All Comes Down to This

I'm all alone.  Exiled to the desert--a fitting punishment, I know.  I'm the reason they're all dead.

He was my responsibility: my pupil, my friend, my son...  But I couldn't save him from the darkness.  And in the end, I couldn't kill him either.

Their blood is on my hands.

But there's another son.  Strong like his father before him.  He can restore balance.  Succeed where both of us have failed.

So I'll watch over him from afar; wait until he's ready.  With him, I have a second chance, an opportunity to correct my mistakes.

He's my only hope.
