[It's funny--he'd become a god in hopes of doing what he couldn't as a prince. "Not even a god can carry their world upon their shoulders"....if only he'd known that all those years before.
He probably would have made the same mistakes regardless. Hundreds of years later, and he still can't stop himself from helping, a lone man in the middle of the battlefield, trampled by both opposing sides at once.]
Prayers are...like a list of tasks to complete. I wouldn't call them heavy, not really; but the more you have, the heavier their burden becomes. [A pause. The temple is empty now, its lights going out one by one, the people all disappeared.] I wanted to carry the world. To save the common people from all the little burdens of their lives.

But I failed to save a single one.
