I have led a life of great adventure.  I have seen much of the world, and fulfilled my quest in my search for great beauty and wondrous experiences.  I am being hounded to my grave by ruthless enemies.  My dog is slowly dying and most of my friends have abandoned me.  Great troubles have descended upon my family.

I am growing old and my time is near.  I have many regrets, but I have also experienced many great triumphs.  So let it come.  The last great adventure.  I am not afraid, and I will never surrender.
