The Ninja War...

This catastrophe of our time...

You know who I am, don't you?

The name's Gara.

I used to be someone.

Not anymore.

I gave it up for my people.

You.

You're much like me, aren't you?

You've given up a lot in these turbulent times.

Everyone thought it would go well. When we faced off against the invaders, against those who would do us bad.

My people, they live, but only in stone, until I can reverse their curse.

I'm a king without people, a leader without anyone to lead.

Isn't it ironic?

I'm sorry, if you get the wrong idea about me.

It's just I find my situation pitiful and if i didn't make light of it well as they say emotions are blessing and a curse and mine as much as I've tried to shun them, it's impossible to.

There's far too much that I feel, that I wish I didn't.

And yet still, I'm here watching over nothing.

And yet these are my people, what I stand for.

This is more than just where I grew up.

This is everything that's ever meant something to me.

And yet what am I supposed to do?
