CHAPTER 2: REN THE GIRL WITH THE MASK
Maybe it wasn't such a good idea to give you that book.
No, Karn, I love this book.
I wouldn't know what to do with these things in my head without it.
You visited that man again, haven't you?
Father says he could be dangerous!
Does this look dangerous to you?
You're not right, Ren.
You're not a right sort of girl.
I don't care if I'm "not right".
As long as my family is fed.
Don't ever get in his way again.
Why are they here?
There's only one reason why they'd be in Lyngarth.
But no one here has ever seen a Marked One.
That doesn't mean they don't exist.
Look Da! I'm a Marked One!
Not today you're not.
Da, what's wrong?
Da? Da?
Come on.
Da, stop it. What...
What are you doing?
Da, leave him!
Wash it off!
He was just playing.
You don't play with the Kah'Nath.
He's only a boy.
Pretending to be a Marked One is going to get us all in trouble.
And I don't want my family under his watchful eye.
Why are you afraid of him?
I'm not afraid of him.
How do you know him?
The Kah'Nath have been here before.
Looking for a fugitive Mahri'Rai.
What are they looking for now?
I don't know.
I just hope that they're only passing through.
Well, there are no Marked Ones and no Mahri'Rais here.
So, whatever they're looking for, it has nothing to do with us.
Maybe you're right.
I just want you to be safe, that's all.
We are safe.
What's this?
A book.
Is it yours?
A book.
With soldiers at our door?!
I didn't know they would be here.
Why would you bring a book into this house?
Do you have any idea what they would do if they found this here?
I'm sorry.
I didn't mean to put the two of you in danger. I keep it hidden.
This was your mother's pendant.
Where did you get this from?
Karn gave it to you, didn't he?
It's not his fault.
Everything's always been his fault!
I told you to stay away from him.
He's the only one...
He's a dangerous fool.
He cares nothing for your safety.
That's a lie! He cares more than you do.
Karn was there when you walked out on us.
You left us, Da.
I left you to keep you safe.
Karn is nothing but trouble.
Without him we'd starve.
What?
Where do you think this comes from, Da?
He taught me how to catch them.
He taught me when you couldn't.
I provide for this family.
If you believe that, then you're the fool.
We need his help.
We need nothing from him.
Least of all this!
No!
Karn is the reason your mother is gone.
Ren! I don't want to lose you too!
Ren!
It's for your own good!
It's for your own good.
Are you hurt?
You're a Marked One.
(- Over there!)
Get out of here!
Here, take this.
Take it! Look out!
Lyanna!
(- He's over there!)
Who are you?
Nobody.
What is this?
Ahh!
Lyanna!
Get away from her!
Don't leave me.
That's not part of your plan.
I thought she was a Marked One.
Marked Ones don't exist.
I'm sorry.
Broken.
So this was all for nothing.
What can I do?
You've done enough. Go away.
Get out of here!
I'm here.
That could have gone better...
It was worth a try.
It still is.
He wouldn't want it now.
It's worthless.
Ah you silly fool.
It's the thing inside that matters.
The thing?
A Mahri spirit.
Oh, Lyanna, what were you thinking?
No wonder you kept that to yourself.
Well, it's gone now.
It's found a new vessel.
Wait!
Leave me alone!
I'm not going to hurt you.
You just killed all th
ose men.
Stay away from me.
Lyanna sent me to find you.
Is she alright?
Are you alright?
I don't know.
I feel...
...strange.
