Delgo Page #2

- Everything was fine...

until Bogardus beat this poor-

- Bogardus was protecting you!

- From harmless boys!

From Lockni boys! They had good reason

to be concerned for your safety.

Ah, you're only a child, Kyla. You couldn't

possibly understand what's at stake here.

Guide the stones.

The staff will follow.

Not this again.

Let us begin.

Connect with the stone, Delgo.

Feel its pulse.

What's the point, Elder Marley?

Teach me something I can use-

like what Talusi's doing.

All students learn the same thing-

to control the stones.

- Oh, I can control the stones.

- Good.

Then let's try again.

Hmm. Did it.

The stones are a path to a higher goal...

not an end unto themselves.

They will also teach you about yourself.

But you must be willing to learn.

The Pool of Etoch. Look deep.

Leave no survivors!

You're on your own, kid.

We cannot change the past.

But we can choose what we learn from it.

Where one learns vengeance,

another learns mercy.

I don't force the stones.

I allow them freedom.

Our hearts need that same freedom...

or they too become heavy, unyielding.

There's an old Stonesage proverb:

"The novice follows his hand.

"The student follows his heart.

"The master knows no difference.

- The hand and the heart are one. '"

- Ahh.

If you wish to control the stone...

you must first...

let go.

Did you hear?

Nohrin soldiers attacked two of our boys.

- What?

- In our territory! Innocent kids!

I'll double it.

- I fold.

- House is out.

Giddy, front me another 500 dyguns.

- What am I, an idiot?

- Come on, Giddy. I'm on a roll.

Are you in or out?

That won't help you this time, Bogie.

- I'll raise you.

- With what?

You're down to your ride.

All right. My razorwing.

I'll take that bet.

You want out? This is your last chance.

But I, for one, am not gonna stand here...

and let the Nohrin walk all over us!

I call.

Double-sanzu, my friend!

I guess you'll be needing

a ride home, General.

That's all, gentlemen.

Wait, wait, wait! Just one more game.

What are you gonna bet with? His money?

Hmm? Huh?

These were deliberate acts of aggression

against Nohrin civilians.

Your Majesty,

we cannot let this go unchallenged.

Our people expect action.

- Our people want peace.

- Our people want justice!

So do I! But I'm not so shortsighted.

Blood will spill on both sides.

Has it been that long, Colonel?

Have you forgotten the men-

the friends- we lost fighting the Lockni?

Come on! We know this riot

wasn't sanctioned by the Lockni government.

Lockni government?

What, the-the Stonesage Council?

If the Lockni people have chosen to attack...

then we are at war...

whether or not it is ordained by this

ragged group of charlatan magicians.
