Outcast Page #5

If we escape my brother,

I will be the King.

- How old are you? 10?

- 14!

- And I should help you, because?

- I will give you a reward!

- And you may come down from this mountain!

A free man. - Now, I do not know.

In my experience those who climb to the top only

ever remember they got there by their own effort.

- I won't forget! - Maybe you will,

maybe you won't. I need time to think.

You are lucky my wife likes you.

Where is my wine?!

Free them, they got nowhere to run.

You were his friend.

We fought alongside one another.

- He belives he's damned.

- He's right.

We were, all of us - killers.

But he became...

...more than that.

- That what warriors do!

- Some get a taste for blood.

He is not one of them.

There was a time I wanted that to be true,

as much as you do now.

At least he still sees hope in others.

Puts his sword at the service of that,

rather than his own game.

Your Majesty, we have news!

Saddle the horses.

Jacob...

- My name is Jacob.

- Nice to meet you, Jacob.

- I am sorry.

- For what?

We'd never have come this far without you.

You... don't have to do that.

I know. I want to.

There's not much else to do here,

except watch Xaoi eat.

She lives because of you.

As do we.

Maybe you've repaid your debt.

Rest, for now.

Please, help me.

I must see him.

What?

Oh man, don't you ever stop?

Here, f***ing opium.

It keeps the ghosts away, huh?

This is MY medicine.

What you saw that day...

If it's forgiveness that brought you here,

you've come a long way for nothing.

Perhaps you've come to tell me

it was some terrible mistake?

- That you didn't kill them? Huh?

- I can't tell you that.

But they did not die by

my sword, I promise.

Riddles give me headaches.

The children were killed

by their own mothers.

The women died by their own hands.

Because they fear of what you have become.

Yes.

What is it?

You think if you save this boy,

God will forgive you?

Men can not know God's will,

and when they pretend to...

- ...it ends in blood.

- That I'll drink to.

So what happened to you?

The White Ghost, bandits?

I tried my hand as a merchant.

But the Black Guards took all I had.

My wife - she's good

with a knife, aint't it?

But in one time... she had the most...

beautiful... singing voice.

But the... Guards...

...cut out her tongue!!

Blinded my right eye.

But I still have her.

Which is all that really matters.

If Shing becomes King, this land will burn.

All lands burn, Jacob. You know that.

Better than anyone.

I have to take a piss.

You should be resting.

I'm younger and healthier than you.

I made a promise to my father.

I swore to him...

...I'd protect Qiang with my life.
