Strings Page #4

Didn't the One-Stringed say that?

We must cross the Nordessa Pass

before daybreak.

Did they say that?

Run over there!

Halt!

Who goes there? Halt!

Eike, where are the children?

Eike?

And where are you going at this late hour,

my pretty?

What have you done with Eike?

Let me go!

What do you think happens,

when you set your self up against me?

It can't be worse

than having to look at you.

You think you can fool me, do you?

Silly girl.

That sort of thing can get you killed.

Let her go!

Don't forget what we agreed, Nezo.

But she can compromise us.

We had a deal, Nezo.

- What's he doing here?

- Saving your life!

Take her away!

Hal shall learn the truth.

Everyone shall learn the truth

about my father's death.

And then we'll see how popular you are

in Hebalon, Uncle Nezo,

you and your crippled friend.

If father had known

what a miserable traitor you are, Nezo,

he would have hanged you

with your own sick strings.

ls that you, Jhinna?

Eike?

Help me...

What's happening?

Listen, they are singing.

It's time.

Now?

Don't be afraid.

I'll take care of everything.

Prepare!

Bless her!

Holy Sideon!

Holy Zion!

Connect this body to All Life!

Fasten her strings good and tight!

They're so thin and fine...

- Can you reach them?

- Yes.

It's coming to life.

Careful of the head-string, Jhinna!

That's the most important one.

The head-string.

Look how beautiful she is.

Thank you, Jhinna.

Take the woman and the child and throw

them in to join the rest of Erito's brood.

I'll be back shortly.

This is The Lake

of the Thousand Dead Warriors.

My father has spoken of it.

He won a great victory over

the Zeriths here, didn't he?

Hal,

where are you?

Help me!

Bring in the slaves!

I am the Kharo's daughter.

I order you to set me free!

The Kharo is dead, Jhinna,

but I am alive.

I am alive.

Do you understand, Jhinna?

I was your father's Commander-in-Chief.

I was good at it.

Your father's favourite.

He had promised me

something very beautiful... you.

When you had grown to womanhood,

you were to be mine.

What are you saying?

I was the most important men in Hebalon.

Have you never heard tell

of the great battle by the Sideon River?

No.

The Three-Day Desert War?

No.

What about the battle by the Lake

of the thousand Dead Warriors.

Does that mean anything to you?

Yes.

That was the battle I lost.

The Zeriths had defeated us

North of the Nordessa Forest.

Your father was filled with rage.

As we were retreating, we came upon

a caravan of Zerith women and children.

Your father could not handle his defeat.

In his rage, he blamed me.

He ordered me to slay women and children,

and when I refused, he attacked me.
