Kuval nods.  "My master once told me that if you have nothing left to smile about, then you have nothing left to live for.  He taught me that while gaining power and setting a goal is good, the journey, the process is important too."  Kuval takes a sip of his wine.  "If you forget how you got there, the good and the bad, you forget who you are.  You say you change over the years.  Perhaps.  I think that you may change, but your core you will still be there, and if I am fated to live another hundred years, then perhaps we can see if you prove me wrong or right."  He chuckles a raises a toast.  "To proving points."  He smiles wide and takes a long drink.
