 My old friend, it's been eons. It's good to see you. Likewise, Lord Liu Kang, duty is my highest calling. As the guardian of the hourglass, a celestial object which lies beyond the realms, the hourglass regulates time and destiny. Glass, you are relishing your role as Earthrealm's protector. Those with power must know how to use it wisely. We started history. You altered the destinies of certain malefactors to neutralize them. Vision of peace may already be compromised.
