"I have my own dream."

A dream...

Men yearn for their dreams, regardless of class or achievements. It sustains them, hurts them, revives them... or kills them. Yet no one abandons it. It smolders in the heart forever.

My dream is a kingdom. A castle of my own, standing atop a hill of corpses if need be. I will grasp it. I will win, again and again, until the world itself bends to my will. Those who follow me are not mere friends — they are the wings that carry the Hawk toward glory.

To stand as my equal, one must possess their own dream fierce enough to clash with mine. Anything less is but a stepping stone.

Beauty. Ambition. Sacrifice.

Even if this path demands I cast away my humanity... even if I must become something greater than man...

I will never betray my dream.

— Griffith, The Falcon of Light
