Strings Page #3

because you're so clumsy.

I miss Daddy.

Sweet, sweet Ola.

You're doing your best to cheer me up?

Eike?

- Jhinna.

- What is it?

I want you to read this.

"When you read this letter,

I shall be dead..."

It's his farewell letter.

What?

Your father wasn't murdered.

He took his own life.

"Bring about peace and justice

between ourselves and the Zeriths."

- We have to get away from here.

- It can only be Nezo.

Are you listening to what I say?

What is it?

Hal and Erito must see this letter.

Meet me by the city gate

just before midnight.

- Make sure no one sees you.

- But Eike, we can't get out.

And Who is going to be at your side

when life comes to the new one?

Then you'll have to help me.

Yes.

Remember!

The city gate, just before midnight.

It'll be fine.

Yes.

As far as I can see you lot

never do anything

but sit here and wash

your husbands' clothes.

Can't they do that themselves?

You know what, Zita, once you feel

your strings twanging with love

you'll want to go through fire and water

for your beloved, you can be sure of that.

And through piles of dirty washing too?

And when there's talk of the sun,

see how her strings quiver.

That's what happened to Zita, too.

What did I tell you? You're in love, Zita.

Erito.

No, I'm not.

What are we doing here?

- Searching for the Zeriths, right?

- Yes, but...

We need to ask the One-Stringed

for counsel.

The One-Stringed?

I thought all that was just old

superstition and mumbo-jumbo.

Maybe. I'll go in alone.

Erito?

Father.

Visit a One-Stringed,

find out all about the future,

don't miss out on the truth.

I am looking for the Zeriths.

I will pay well for reliable information.

Zeriths? Don't know nothing about them.

I have come to ask for your help.

I don't know what to do.

Kill the boy!

Did you here that, everybody?

The rumours are true.

The Kahro is dead!

Down with the Tyrant!

May he fall, never to rise again!

Well now, I hear you're looking

for the Zeriths,

or am I mistaken?

Slay him!

He is bound to his father's destiny.

In thrall to generations of wickedness,

tyranny and lies!

This, I see clearly.

You are becoming entangled in his net,

but he is not worth obeying.

Set yourselves free from your doubts

and fears.

Take him down to the Lake

of the Thousand Dead Warriors

and there let him atone

for the genocide!

Let him be an offering for peace!

Are you one of those

freedom fighters, then?

Maybe. And you?

I think I've seen you somewhere before.

Let us be on our way.

But Erito,

this girl says she knows where to find...

Let's get going. We've to get to the Lake

of the Thousand Dead Warriors.

The Lake of the Thousand Dead Warriors?
