*Richter also begins to smell the steel city.*
Richter: This smell...its the same as blood....but it comforts me.
*Richter takes Altair's muzzle off after hearing him trying to say something*
Altair: Richter, you are the future of the Belmont family.
I know not why you left...but might you consider visiting us more? The Ame villagers, the young lass, Juste-Sama, and myself, along with my brethren; we all miss you. Tell me, what if one day there is a war between the Sand and Rain; would you betray your homeland and the Belmonts just to prove yourself loyal to the Sand?
Richter: w-w-w-why, why would you ask me this, now?
Altair: Because, child. Your Father, he is too much of a coward to ask questions like this.
Richter: What?!
Altair: Yes, he is my supirior, but my master is long since dead. Now, boy, this is a VERY serious question, and it's time you answer it. I've watched you grow from a toddler to the fine shinobi you are today; I've shared your hardships and pain, for I've felt them all myself before. Now, tell me: would you betray your home, lineage, and EVERYTHING your ancestors fought to protect? Tell me: would you betray...her?
*Altair's words hit Richter like a punch*
Richter: I-I-I...you're right, I can't. I love Sunagakure, and I wouldn't hurt my friends, but she, and the Belmont family are what I live for. But this land...it's caused to much pain for me. I'd protect it in a war with my life, but Suna is my home now.
Altair: You've grown into quite a fine young man, Richter. I've seen countless Belmonts being born, and I've watched them all live and die in unique ways. But, you, Richter. You're so much different then all of them, and I respect you for that. I was there when you were born; "My son...the first Belmont in blue, he'll be better then all that came before him, one day". that's what your father said. And to be frank...I believe in that statment..
Richter: Thank you, Altair. And I will try to visit more, for it was somewhat selfish for me to leave, I suppose.
*The trio enter Amegakure and head towards the outskirts to the Belmont mansion*
