[Kija fully disagrees with his assessment of the legend, but even he knows there is a time and place for things.

I did not come for such a purpose. [He doesn't know why he is here, or why he can suddenly be seen now.] I believe that you will go on to lead an adventure filled life, following the direction that your heart leads you in. I know that you will be able to discover that outside of this ugly place there is great love and beauty.
[Is he okay with this? Lifting a hand up to his heart, he bows to the child.]
Your choices are your own. This village will no longer have the power to dictate what you do with your life. [And thank goodness for that.] But should you require help, then do know that I would gladly offer it. Both Seiryuu and Ouryuu would as well.
