:37:01
What are you saying?
:37:04
l was the most important men in Hebalon.
:37:08
Have you never heard tell
of the great battle by the Sideon River?
:37:15
No.
:37:16
The Three-Day Desert War?
:37:20
No.
:37:21
What about the battle by the Lake
of the thousand Dead Warriors.
:37:26
Does that mean anything to you?
:37:29
Yes.
:37:34
That was the battle l lost.
:37:38
The Zeriths had defeated us
North of the Nordessa Forest.
:37:42
Your father was filled with rage.
:37:45
As we were retreating, we came upon
a caravan of Zerith women and children.
:37:51
Your father could not handle his defeat.
:37:54
ln his rage, he blamed me.
:37:57
He ordered me to slay women and children,
and when l refused, he attacked me.
:38:05
He cut all my strings
except my head-string and one arm.
:38:11
Then he abandoned me by the Lake.
:38:13
lf l got home, l was to allowed to live.
:38:17
Defeat enraged your father.
:38:20
Overcome by evil and darkness,
:38:24
he killed them all.
:38:30
But they are all women and children.
:38:34
My father would never ever
do such a thing.
:38:37
But he did.
:38:41
l had to get what l could get, afterward.
:38:45
During the long campaign,
:38:47
the army had used up
all the decent spare parts from slaves,
:38:52
and only old, worn-out ones
were left, Jhinna.
:38:58
l had to take what l could get.
