Chapter 3: The Marked One Why are you afraid of him? I'm not afraid of him. I just want you to be safe, that's all. We are safe. What's this? Why would you bring a book into this house? Have you any idea what they would do if they found this here? It's for your own good! It's for your own good. Who are you? Get out of here! Lyanna! A Mahri spirit. It's found a new vessel. I feel... ...strange. What have you done to my sister!? What are you doing? Let her... Shh! Keep quiet. I'm a friend, okay? Listen... Your sister just needs some rest. Somewhere where those men can't find her. You understand? Mm... Come with me. What's happening? Something that's not happened in a long time. What happened? Why are you staring at me like that? You glowed! What? You glowed... ...and now you've got that! What did you do to me? Nothing! I didn't know what was in that thing! Tell me! What's happened to me? Tell me! What's happened to me? Hey! Tell me! What's happened to me? Woah! What was in it? A Mahri spirit. You're a Nuh'Mahri now. I'm Marked. The Gods have cursed me. I don't think the Twins are to blame. Get it out. I can't. Please! I wouldn't know how! But I do know you need to get out of here. I can't leave! My family needs me. You're a Marked One. You can't go back to normal. All the people you know will think you're evil... ...dangerous! They will hunt you down. You need to leave with me...now. Ren? Stay away from me, Baynon! Why? Because he's right! I'm Marked. What have you done to her? I didn't do anything! You get out of my house! Go on! Get out of here! (- ...but what are you going to do?) I don't know, I mean... You've got to go tell the Commander... That's him! What have you done, Ren? I'm sorry... ...but it wasn't my fault! The Kah'Nath were trying to kill her, and... ...I fell, and...it broke, and... ...and now I'm Marked! What do I do? You stay here. I'll be back soon. Go on! Get out! Get out! Oi! That's my broom! Ren? Don't come in here, Baynon! Why? You know the stories of the Marked Ones. But you're not evil. What if the spirit takes over? I don't want to hurt you, Baynon. You won't. I know you won't. I'm sorry I couldn't save your book. Da's so stupid! Da loves us. He might not always show it, but... ...he means well. You won't go away, will you, Ren? Baynon, no matter what happens, we'll always find each other again. Remember Nirith and Nardaeth. They're apart... ...but still, always together. Here. These pieces will be joined again one day. Just like us. I don't want you to leave. I know. Don't worry. Da will find a way to help. Just... ...wait and see. I don't want to wait! Take him down! You! Go round there. I don't take kindly to my men being mocked. Take him to the Keep! He'll hang at sundown. And if ever I see you let... ...a civilian humiliate you again in public... Just... ...wait and see. I don't want to wait! Take him down! You! Go round there. I don't take kindly to my men being mocked. Take him to the Keep! He'll hang at sundown. And if ever I see you let... ...a civilian humiliate you again in public... ...what happens to him will happen to you. Yes, sir. Oh, Nirith, Goddess of the Light. I beg you...please, Nirith, please. Remove this mark Please! Da?
