Transcript
Mara splashes across stepping stones in a stream, holding a sword. She says, “Don’t you talk about him!” Warden Voss says, “I trained beside him. Long before you were born.” Mara says, “He never said a word about any of you.” Mara points her sword at Warden Voss. He says, “That was the point. He left us to keep you out of this.” Mara asks, “Then why are you following me?” Warden Voss raises an open gauntlet and says, “Because others are too. Walk with me, and you might reach the keep alive.”
