The Dead Lands Page #6

...a match with his father's.

The gods smile on me...

...and I am like a son to them.

There!

My warriors...

...we leave!

There!

Cowards!

Come, boy...

...time to claim what's yours.

Come on, boy!

Stupid boy!

You're afraid, aren't you.

I am so glorious...

...that is what you're in awe of.

The monster's spirit

and these dead lands have possessed you.

So be it.

No mercy!

Come on, boy!

You're embarrassing me!

Put up a decent fight!

I am better than you...

...and now you know it.

Pick it up, demon...

...I will honour you with a good death.

Go!

Go to your father.

You are a fool to honour me.

Tell the dead...

...I am coming.

The demon is but a man, after all.

No!

Glorious...

...as your father before you.

You will pay for the slaughter of my family.

As it should be!

Your father will be proud...

...just as mine is proud of me.

Tell them how I met death.

Promise me!

And if I do...

...what then?

Your kin will seek repayment for your death.

They will tell of our glory...

...and remember us in stories.

You didn't have to kill them all!

How could I live with the dishonour...

...of my kin lying unburied?

I have given them glory.

Just as you will do when you kill me.

So it goes, then...

...around in circles.

When you think of me...

...you will remember how I spared you.

And that forever...

...you owe me a debt.

The debt lies with you...

...your father...

...and your tribe.

For all time.

Do you swear?

Swear.

Say it!

I swear.

On your honour...

...and that of your father.

I swear it.

Then the ancestors of this place...

...are my witness.

Stupid boy...

...let me die in peace.

I can see them, boy...

...my ancestors.

They reject me.

They banish me from the afterlife.

I have nowhere to go now.

You will be welcomed by my ancestors.

Do you hear me?

They will lead you into the afterlife.

And we will speak of you in stories.

Speak of your honour.
