“Uncle Hadjar! Why are you so smart?” “I used to eat a lot of fish when I was a kid!” “Eww,” Shakur grimaced. “Fish! I hate fish!” “Don’t tell your father that.” “Why not?” “Oh, believe me, it’ll worry him greatly, he loves it.” “Even more than mom?” The boy was startled. Hadjar pretended to think about it, “No, he still loves your mother more... probably.” Dora shot him a glare.”

“Two thousand golden warriors rose up behind the Scarlet Swordsman one final time. Then two more followed, and two more came after them, and so on until all the free space of the steppe was filled by the golden army. The spectators presumed that the army was going to rush into battle, but something unexpected happened. Damage began to appear on the warriors’ armor: cuts, holes, even horrific lacerations through which the people could see their terrible wounds, which oozed blood. The streams of blood gushing out of the dying golden warriors became rivers, then merged into a sea, which rose into the air like a tsunami.”

“You know a lot, Ash. You’ve outlived everyone who remembers your time... You even defeated the mage who could turn illusions into reality... You are the strongest and the oldest of the Immortals… You could easily become a god and ascend to the Seventh Heaven if you wanted to, but... you still live in the mortal world.

“Calm your soul, Hadjar Darkhan,” Erhard’s eyes flashed. “A warrior shouldn’t flounder like a fish caught in a net. Your mind must be clear and cool. Your heart must be hot. Your body must be controlled, no matter what. Your hands must be strong. Your eyes must be sharp. You’re in this world right now. It doesn’t matter whether it’s an illusion or not. You’re a warrior facing an enemy — your own unwillingness to see the truth. Defeat that enemy. Win the battle. That is a warrior’s way. Everything else, everything that’s not your battles and your victories, is just dust clinging to you. Reject it.”
