❝ Words of advice, Kung Lao. ❞ Bi-Han responded calmly. ❝ You and I both strive for greatness, but I have seen where that path ends. Arrogance was my downfall and soon enough it will be yours as well. I expect no trust, but know this: Chasing glory will only lead you to an early grave. ❞ Knowing Kung Lao, any well-intentioned advice was wasted on him. Frankly, Bi-Han didn't care, he didn't think he would have bothered coming here to begin with if he hadn't been asked to do so. Liu Kang must have been desperate to seek help from him of all people. Perhaps, the demigod had assumed his fate would serve Kung Lao as a warning. Pride paired with ambition was a dangerous thing, no one understood that better than him. After all, Bi-Han had been defeated by his own foolish recklessness. He had thought himself invincible, had challenged fate time and time again — until he had ultimately and inevitably lost. He might not care much for Kung Lao but he knew he would regret seeing the young Shaolin monk follow him down that road. Despite their past differences, there was still a part of him that hoped his words would be taken seriously. Maybe that way something good would come out of the mistakes he made at last.

"I don't think that's why Havik does it, I think it's because the very concept of law is an affront to his so-called sensibilities. But no, there are very few people who can break the law to such a degree that they actually garner my personal attention. Darrius, however, is one of them - but he does it because he hates me, not because he likes me."

I never, ever get over the fact that you noticed me all those years ago, and even now your writing is incredible. ♥

“I barely miss things or people when they’re gone, don’t feel special for that, you’re like anyone else who’s been around me. And my future self? Does it mean that I get to live more? Now that’s surprising, hope she’s doing better than me now.”

“...is that so, Kung Lao?”
