00:18I have walked through the land of the dead.
00:21I have seen what waits for every man at the end of his sword.
00:26They told me glory would last forever.
00:30It doesn't.
00:31In the underworld, there is no glory.
00:33There is no memory.
00:35There is nothing.
00:37Just silence and the faces of every man you ever killed standing beside you for eternity.
00:44The gods drag me back, not as a gift, as a test.
00:50They want to know if the greatest warrior who ever lived can survive what no warrior has faced before.
00:57The sea, the monsters, the wrath of a god who wants me buried at the bottom of his ocean.
01:05But I didn't come back to kneel.
01:07I didn't come back to beg.
01:08I came back because death had me and I refused to stay.
01:14I have spent 20 years on water.
01:1820 years reading stars, fighting currents, burying men who trusted me to bring them home.
01:24I have watched friends drown.
01:28I have watched ships burn.
01:31I have sailed past things no man was meant to see and lived only because I refused to stop thinking,
01:39even when thinking was all I had left.
01:42They call Achilles the greatest warrior, maybe he is, but warriors charge forward.
01:52I am the one who finds the way.
01:55I am the one who ties the rope, sharpens the stake, reads the map when the stars go dark.
02:02My son grew up without me.
02:0520 years is long enough.
02:07I am coming home.
02:09And neither gods nor monsters will stand between me and my shore.
02:24I am coming home.
