Help me solve this puzzle! It's driving me insane!

So my friends created a little puzzle. The object is to figure out a specific quote from a specific character from a specific game. They've given 5 clues which I've attached here. I'm fairly certain it's Cloud from KH but the 2nd and 5th clues are throwing me off a bit. I was thinking it was Cloud talking to Sora "I'm looking for someone. Hades promised (the pinky promise) to help. I tried to exploit the power of darkness, but it backfired. I fell into darkness, and I couldn't find the light (the swords of darkness and light?)." I think the first clue is about the promise and the 3rd is obviously cloud. The 4th clue is KH. So can someone help decipher the rest? Or tell me how the burning man and the swords fit that quote or some other quote?

Are the swords perhaps representative of the Colosseum itself, and the burning man representing Hades?
