When life is at its bitter end, those who hate come to a realisation. As deaths cold grip encloses it's icy palm upon their soul, they gain peace. As the knowledge sinks in, they become happy. Their life is the past, their death is the present, and the future means nothing. The present is the only real existence, past, future, both illusions in the pool of the universe. When your soul drifts, and your heart slows, remember. Nothing is true, everything is permitted. We are the Lin Kuei. Stealthy as the night, deadly as the dawn. Do not fear the end, for it is the beginning. The beginning of your legacy. Though the era may end, it will live on, in our memory, in our hearts, and in your descendants. Do not fear the dark, embrace it. You may not be ready, few ever are. But when your time comes, and your body hangs limp, perhaps you shall join me and the elder gods. Until then, I shall enjoy my peace. Goodbye my brothers.
-Sub Zero's dying words.
