"A man like you could never stand to see young girl come to any harm" "Debelzaq believes , you are the blame for Eckhart death." "And you believe him?" "After what he did to me?" "I had no reason to harm Eckhart He was nothing but kind to me." "He told me , I look like his daughter." "I can see his death weighs heavy on your mind" "Allow me to ease your pain." "Some good deeds can done even from behind bars." "Kay, remember this, it wasn't your fault." "It was the witch." "No one else." "he died by my sword." "It Could just as easily have been another's" " But it wasn't." "It was mine." "I killed him." "Why are we stopped?" "You call that a bridge?" "Last time I saw it Was eight or nine years ago." "I remember it differently." "is that our reward for taking a swindler as our guide." "I told you, I am not a swindler" "You're not much of a guide either, are you?" "!"

"What is this place?" "Hagamar, where are we?" "Wormwood forest." "Damn fog." "Like a veil before my eyes." "We haven't strayed from the path, have we?" "I can barely see my own hand in front of my face." "The only reason you're around is because you claimed you knew the way." "I know the way, it's just I can't see the way." "Maybe you would like to try leading the way!" "Huh!" "Enough!" "Both of you." "We camp here on the road." "Wait for the fog to pass." "Kay told me what happened on the bridge." "He says , you saved his life." "With one hand ..." "Hard to believe." "We believe what we want to believe." "Do you believe I am a witch, Behmen?" "You are not afraid of me, are you?" "Trouble sleeping?" "Myself as well" "I'm not sure if it's the fog, the altitude ..." "It's unsettling, even for a knight." "Let alone with a spineless scoundral like myself!" "That's not what I meant." "No!" "Behmen, how many more are going to die before we reach a Severak?" " None, if I can help it." " And if you can't , what then what?" "Forgive me if I seem reluctant to put my life in your hands" "But I have a better solution." "We kill the bitch!" "Here and now, be done with it" "We tell whose back in "Mol bow", she tried to escape." "She meant us harm ..." "What can we do?" "we had no choice." "And who will be the wiser?" "I, for one."

"It's too late." "We cann't help him." "Behmen!" "What are you doing?" "Behmen, what are you doing?" " he's doing what comes naturally killing the innocent." " You can not do this" "Step aside, two lifes have already been lost." "No one grieves for that more than I." "Step aside!" "or this arrow will be yours!" "If we fault her now, those lives will have been lost in vain" "Or will not be lost!" "Four lifes will be spared." "And what are four lives, compared with the thousands more will be lost?" "if this plague is not ended." "I know, there may be no room in your heart for God, Behmen." "But in my heart I know he would not abandon us." "I God's name ..." "No man has spilt more blood in God's name than I benevolent God, what are odds thus takes a man" "If you kill her, you will not have God to blame only yourself." "He ends the say" "Look."
