Chapter 4
What's happening?
Something that's not happened in a long time.
You glowed.
You're a Nuh'Mahri now.
All the people you know will think you're evil, dangerous.
You get out of my house.
I don't take kindly to my men being mocked.
Take him to the Keep.
He'll hang at sundown.
You won't go away, will you, Ren?
Father?
It's for the best.
The Kah'Nath protect us.
They'll draw out the evil spirit.
Da.
Thank you for your commitment to loyalty
and justice.
You did the right thing.
Wait.
I don't want this!
Is he going to give us any trouble?
Not anymore.
Good people of Lyngarth.
I am here to inform you that evil is lurking in your quiet village.
And as the Eye of Justice,
and the Mouth of Truth,
we are here once again,
to root it out
and keep you safe.
She's got the Mark!
Get out of here!
Take her away!
We don't want her here!
Get her out!
Since the time of the last North King
We, the Kah'Nath,
have kept you safe
and protected you from the Marked Ones.
Those who would use Underly Magic
to corrupt
and enslave you.
Yours is a province I have seldom visited.
Perhaps this is why you have allowed
a Marked One to live amongst you.
Ren...
What do you want?
I want to kill him.
Who?
Your prisoner.
He betrayed my sister.
Look, leave him to the Commander, lad.
But how do I know that he won't escape?
Come over here.
See that door?
Try kicking it in. Go on.
See? Solid.
Now, the only way from down there
is through that door.
And the only way through there
is with these.
He's not going anywhere, lad.
Thank you.
Just doing my job.
Now get out! Go on.
This girl is accused of bringing
Underly Magic to your village.
If you wish to speak for her,
do so now.
Inform the Master.
What?
What?
Are you helping me or not?
If I give you these keys,
do you promise to help my sister?
I was trying to when your father turned up.
Swear by Nirith.
I swear.
By Nirith?
By Nirith.
And Nardaeth?
Yes. And Nardaeth.
Okay.
Oh, by Nardaeth, you've won.
Yep, as usual. Come on.
Hang on!
Haven't I got more boars?
No. As soon as I start doing well,
What's this? You can't do that!
you accuse me of cheating!
No, you can't have done.
I had them there before you went. That's
not right.
I had two there. I had two bloody there!
Who's winning?
The Twin Gods, Nirith and Nardaeth,
branded the Marked Ones,
to protect us.
Here, on this creature's face,
you see the Mark.
The mark of evil.
The mark that can bring ruin upon us all.
Just like Lord Monfort and the Mahri'Rai
did so many years ago.
The evil that must, once again, be purged.
Come on!
What are you doing? Get back here.
But, you said you'd help her.
Come on!
What are you doing? Get back here.
But, you said you'd help her.
I can't.
What do you mean "you can't"?
Listen...
In the hands of the Master,
there's nothing we can do.
But... You promised, you'd help her.
You swore!
I'm sorry.
But I saved your life!
No! Please!
Wait!
What are you doing?
You said that you could get the spirit out.
The spirit will be released...
when it no longer has a host.
No, Ren!
