Chapter 5: REN THE GIRL WITH THE MASK
All the people you know will think you're evil.
Dangerous!
But you're not evil.
No matter what happens, we'll always find each other again.
If I give you these keys,
do you promise to help my sister?
I swear.
In the hands of the Master, there's nothing we can do.
I'm sorry.
But I saved your life!
Any last words...
...Marked One?
She's got the Mark!
Get her out of here!
Get rid of her!
It's alright, Da.
I don't blame you.
Stop!
Wait!
What are you doing?
Get down!
No! You've all gone mad!
Look what they're doing to Ren.
Why won't you help her?
Well she's Marked.
And the Marked must be stopped.
But you don't even know why.
Because she's evil.
Yeah. - It's true.
My sister has done nothing wrong.
And you all know that.
But Marked Ones are dangerous.
But she's not.
Silence!
She's... She's...
Why will you not do something?
She's not evil.
The mark has not changed her.
She's still Ren.
Why won't you help her?
He's right! How do we know the mark has changed her?
Is there no test?
Surely we shouldn't let myths and stories of the past judge her.
Well if there's a test.
Well then it would show and then we'd be safe.
They should show us that she's evil.
We don't know!
It's our village, maybe we should deal with it.
You want to know why we are here?
To protect you from yourselves.
Look at you!
You are so easily swayed and corrupted...
...that even these children can turn you.
You forget all that you know of the Marked?
What are you doing?
Let him go!
Anyone caught harbouring a Marked will be punished.
Anyone caught helping a Marked will be punished.
Anyone caught in support of a Marked will be punished!
He's just a child!
This child has commited treason by calling for an uprising...
...against the Kah'Nath.
Remember Helgoth!
No!
He's just a boy!
He doesn't know what he's saying.
Please!
If you want to save him, young Nuh'Mahri...
...then use your power.
But I have no power!
This is not the same girl that you once knew.
Let him go!
That's it....
(- She has evil flowing through her...)
Get angry!
(-...evil that can destroy us all...)
Let him go!
(-...evil that can destroy us all...)
No!
No! Baynon!
This Underly Magic is what Monfort used so many years ago...
...to bring death and destruction to our lands.
Time to join the others.
So this is where you've been hiding all these years, Mahri'Rai.
Let her go!
Brave! But foolish.
Mahri'Rai or not, you cannot defeat the Kah'Nath on your own.
Who said anything about being alone?
Get back!
Grab it!
Get rid of it!
Get down!
Get him out of here!
Da!
I'm so sorry, Ren!
After all we've done to break you...
...After all you've been through...
...You still defy us?
You can do what you want with me...
...but she's my daughter!
There must be another way!
This is the way of the Kah'Nath!
There is no other way!
Da!
By the power we took from the North King...
...I send you back into exile!
He made me come back.
Lucky we did though!
Time to go.
Good luck!
You're not coming?
No. No, my place is here.
Besides, I have little to offer.
You've got a fair swing!
If anybody asks, we left by the east gate.
Aye.
Aye, course you did.
How can I ever repay you?
By reclaiming what is yours.
What?
(Search the square!)
Go! Go!
(- Come one!)
No. Wait, I have to stop.
Put him down.
Where are we going?
Anywhere but here.
Don't worry, Ren.
I'll explain everything.
What is a Mahri'Rai?
It's kind of a guardian for the Nuh'Mahri.
And you're one.
Yes.
But I thought they were bad.
You thought the Marked Ones were bad until today.
How do we know I'm not?
Because I'll tell you everything I know.
I'll guide you.
And right now, we have to leave.
I'm not going.
You'll be alright,
we just have to get you to Karn's.
Forgive me, Ren.
You do not need my forgiveness.
Karn...
...Protect my children.
If not for me...
...do it for Erin?
Ren...
...You must trust Karn.
He's a good man.
I do not know what this Mark means, but...
...I see no evil in your eyes.
I'll watch over you both.
No!
No, you're not going yet.
I'm sorry, Ren.
It's time.
I'm tired.
Da?
There are horses by the west gate.
Get them ready.
Da!
I don't want to leave!
Baynon, we have to.
I don't want to leave Da!
Baynon, listen to me.
No matter what happens...
...we have each
other, remember?
I need mine.
No!
Baynon, no!
I'll get him.
Get to the gate!
Where are the others?
They're coming.
Come on, get on a horse!
Wait!
Get up now!
Leave!
Ren!
