Your character rests at the edge of the sunset.
A stranger approaches, pausing left and behind of them.
They say nothing, but they have made their intentions clear.
You must speak your COOLEST line.
''And so this is how it ends, the same place where it began. Poetic, don't you think?''

"Knew you'd find me eventually. No time to get cold feet now. Do it.
"It's been 500 years and everything is exactly how I remember it...but that's why you woke me, right?"

"Chill out B)"

"Poetic, is it not? I dedicated my life learning everything there is to know about this world. From its plants and animals, its sciences and philosophies, to its magicks and mysteries. A lifetime dedicated in the hopes that I would find the solution to leaving this world in a better state, then when I first witnessed it.
I thought that I may never find that solution; and yet here it is standing before me. Quod a vita."

>>43684578
From the moment I fought for the laughter of those I should have, for all reality's sake, called equals I knew you were watching over me with a plan, one that would span the rest of mankind's existence and beyond.
They're all gone, no one to change anything anymore, but nothing to lose either, the sands of time haven't stopped flowing, rather the hourglass has shattered and all returns to dust.
I knew what I was getting into to begin with, at least when you truly adopted me, but I'd never though I'd see the end of your magnificent plan, I'd never thought I'd hear the end of their laughter and all laughter, especially with you at my back, father.
And even if it's not you, I'd prefer blessed ignorance anyway,
>>43684578
You ever danced in the pale of the moonlight?
"Watch out. I farted and it smells real bad."
>>43684578
You know many think I am invincible, and I am so it really funny that you would try and kill me. Attack me as much as you wish but even if I wasn't wearing my armor you still wouldn't be able to harm me for my flesh is indestructible. But I am a busy person so you might as well leave before you waste more of my time. If you continue to waste my time, you will incur my wrath and you will die, for none are beyond my wrath not even gods.

>Grigori leaned on the tree, His blood staining the roots of the trees
>The stranger remained silent as he moved towards Grigori a sword on hand which he promptly placed on Grigori's hand
>Grigori nodded then smiled as the Stranger unsheathe another sword from his cloak and stood ten paces from Grigori
"Well, I Guess we can Clash once more before we part."

>"Aw, come on. Really? I just got here. No rest these days, I tell you what."
"It is the end. But the moment has been prepared for."
"Remember that tree we used to play around as children? I went down to the village on a whim and saw two yougins sleeping underneath it."
"I Think it was then I realized that I should stop seeing time as some great adversary because I purposely blinded myself to all the good that exists."
"Seeing those two children there, sleeping there and seeing their parents come and carry them home reminded me so much of me and you."
"In anycase, I'm ready to go, I won't resist. I'm to tired to resist anymore..."
"Looks like I've got nowhere to hide anymore. Listen. I know you're going to ask me about my 'ideals.' That if I can't 'embody' them properly, that you'll make me represent yours instead. But, uh. That's not a thing that's gonna happen. Mostly because the moment you strike anything, body, mind, or soul, it'll kill me."
>beat
"Yeah, that's right. I'm not exactly made of sterner stuff, ya know. You /should/ know, with how long you've been watching me. No ideals, no goals, no dreams - not even the guts to end it all before you got here. That's me. And still you think there's some point to this encounter - some significance to my being here. Well, there isn't. There never was. So, really, this will have to end with my lifeless body on the ground - there's not enough of a soul here for you to save, and I know you won't just let me leave."

>They say nothing, but they have made their intentions clear.
OP, the only proper was to respond is with equal silence. How was this ever in question?
We've come so far, haven't we?
But in the end, it doesn't even matter.
"The thing about sunsets, is that the sun will always rise again. Likewise, killing me will only so long... the cold night is not without the welcoming weather of morning. My lost brother's revenge of our fathers murder allowed him to claim the throne and bring the kingdom back in its rightful place, away from the evil necromancer which was my late fathers assistant. My mother was a dragon, but you would know that wouldn't you? You cyborgs can't even appreciate the light of day"
>>43684578
"You stopped me. You stopped me at every turn... just as I had intended. You have arrived here, ready to tell me to stand down... but I will never stand down. If you let me live now, you are merely allowing the path to curve and come full circle. Your weakness will give me the freedom to raise another army, and I will march it once again to the gates of the capitol."
He turns to look at the stranger.
"Or you end this, Hero."
>>43696127
Did you have to fall to lose it all?
>>43684578
"Y'know, it started out as one, big practical joke. A kid from nowhere, with no training, convincing the caravan that I was a lost prince of a destroyed kingdom. From there, it was a series of lies. 'Sure, I can do magic.' 'I'm your guy for leading an army.' 'Bah, I've killed gods before, what's one more?' People don't know just how narrow those scrapes were. I should be dead a hundred times over. And now, I guess it's only appropriate that you be the one that does it. The only one who actually knows."
"Let's make it quick, I have people waiting on me."

I don't think that, after "they say nothing, but they have made their intentions clear", one of them will recite a speech. They're the silent types, one line is enough for a day.

"You know something? This world is amazing. It's beautiful. And look at what we've all been doing in it. Destroying it. Polluting it. Killing ourselves and other creatures for no reason other than, 'We can.' For all of that, I hate humanity. No, hate isn't right... Despise.
"But for all of that, at the same time, I love humanity. After every hideous, disgusting action anybody has ever taken, we can still do amazing, beautiful things. Art, music, tools, devices, buildings, monuments. We can love and be loved. Families, friends, lovers, children.
"A long time ago, I realized all of this. And I saw where everything was going. Stagnation. So I did what nobody else would. I did the unspeakable because nobody else would. I committed some of the greatest atrocities in recorded history.
"And why? Because I despise all of you. And because I love you all more than anything. Because sometimes the best medicines are the bitterest. And sometimes what the body needs in order to recover is a healthy dose of poison.
"What I did, I committed without ego and without regret. What I did, I did knowing that now, decades after, everything would be on the right path. And it is."

: Isn't it beautiful? It's almost tragic. When life ends, it gives off a final lingering aroma. Light is but a farewell gift from the darkness to those on their way to die. I've been waiting for a long time. Waiting for your birth, your growth, and the finality of today. One must die and one must live. No victory, no defeat. The survivor will carry on the fight. You're a soldier! Finish your mission! Show your loyalty! Face me.

"I've been haunted for a long time by whether what you're about to do is the right thing. I made mistakes, and broke everything in singleminded pursuit of my goal: to bring to justice someone who made mistakes and broke everything in singleminded pursuit of theirs.
If you do this, you'll be trapped in the same cycle. And unlike me, there is absolutely no chance that you'll die before the next fool comes to ruin everything with the terrible vengeance they hold for you. A vast chain of fools will destroy everything good on this planet.
I have a duty to try and prevent the world you will create by killing me."
It can never be like it was. That time is gone and we are different people now, you and I.
We can never get back what was lost.

"You're not tagging me now"
I sit on the trunk of a fallen tree and watch the sun set until it is nothing more than a line of burning gold on the horizon. My hands, lined with age and a lifetime of conflict, rest on the hilt of my jian. Four decades of constant use have worn the intricate designs on the bronze pommel smooth and worked the clasp of my fingers deep into the leather grip.
"You're uncommonly polite for an assassin." I stand, taking a moment to allow my bones to be stiff with age, for once stopping my chi from supporting me with the vigor of a man thirty years my junior. Still, I do not face my would-be killer. That he hasn't struck yet tells of either foolishness or extreme confidence, so I take the chance to talk a little more. "It makes sense that it ends in this place. Long ago, I thought this little valley was the whole world. China was so much bigger than I could imagine. That town in the fork there... That was the biggest thing I'd ever seen." It's burning now, ugly black smoke rising from houses and mansions alike. Lives, lifetimes, history, tears and joys all consumed by fire that turns all behind its walls into a caldera of infernal heat. "Then I walked the road, I took a sword in one hand, a scroll in the other and I realised it was not the world that was small, but my own mind. Now I have traveled, I have learned and I have fought across all of China and this little valley, this place where innocence was born and died... I barely even notice it, if not for what I remember... Plums and beans in the fields; drinking under the plum trees in bloom; making love behind closed doors with the magistrate's daughter and cousin..." The fields were trampled into muck now; the picturesque plum trees turned into kindling; the magistrate had fled with his daughter and his pretty cousin was dead from the poison she drank rather than be defiled by the oncoming enemy.
>>43706491
"I've spent my whole life blunting your advance, turning aside your efforts and thwarting every plan your lord could create. If you can kill me now, what have you honestly won? Forty years of delays, deaths, losses and failures can't be undone by the death of one old man. Ah, but pride... Pride can be restored, can't it? Pride can be healed by the spilling of one more man's blood." I take the sheath of my sword in one hand and hold it before me. Chi re-enforces my muscles and bones and I feel the life of China - the life of Yin and Yang; of the four seasons and the five elements, flowing through me like lightning in my blood. "The pride of your lord... Against the pride of all I have ever held dear and sought to protect. The pride of a man arrogant enough to challenge heaven, against a million farmers, traders, craftsmen, soldiers, policemen, nobles, concubines, thieves, bandits and bureaucrats... And one old man too wise to call himself a sage."
The straight, razor-sharp blade flashes in the last of the sun and the fire below us in the valley. I straighten my back and turn, eyes cold as the night sky in winter. "This is a good place to end my fight, but not while I'm still needed and NEVER with so many at my back."
