Hey, see that guy looking through the
0:15
binoculars, standing safely behind the
0:17
sandbags? That's the captain. I suggest
0:20
you chat with him before you wander into
0:21
trouble.
0:23
This is the life, man. For years, I
0:26
waited for this [ __ ] war and it
0:28
finally arrived. Two years and we're
0:31
just getting started.
0:33
You know what's exhausting? Pretending
0:36
that everything is okay. Love thy
0:38
neighbor [ __ ] It's about time we
0:42
rid ourselves of the palamists. I'll
0:45
drink to that.
0:58
I'm only permitted to play Zabinian
1:00
classics, I'm afraid. Unfortunately, I
1:04
only happen to know one of their
1:06
dreadful compositions.
1:12
I'm getting the impression that Captain
1:14
Voss is tired of hearing the same tune
1:17
over and over again.
1:20
I need to learn some new pieces before I
1:23
end up against the wall.
1:30
What am I supposed to do with this?
2:10
It was part of the mob that hung those
2:12
civilians in the marsh. I don't know
2:14
what came over me. Now these soldiers
2:18
make sure I pay for my crime every
2:21
single night.
2:24
And I deserve it.
2:28
I knew all of them. We were neighbors. I
2:33
taught their children. Those kids were
2:36
my life. Rebecca, Talum, Justina,
2:40
especially little Sirill [ __ ]
2:44
I want to remember who I was back then
2:47
before all of this happened. I need to
2:50
wake up from this nightmare.
2:53
Sus, forgive me.
2:59
I was part of the mob that hung those
3:00
civilians in the marsh. I don't know
3:03
what came over me. I want
3:40
Poor bastard. Next time he falls, I'll
3:42
let him choke a little longer.
3:59
His gaze be upon you, my son.
4:07
You're not from here, are you? I know
4:10
everyone around here. And yet there is a
4:14
way about you that is familiar to me.
4:20
Who are you?
4:21
I am Abbott Jaffer, the spiritual leader
4:25
of Pathamabi.
4:32
My life started here and it seems it
4:35
will end here.
4:40
I don't know where you are from, but I'm
4:43
afraid you've wandered into hell.
4:52
Where's the abbey?
4:54
It's southeast of Jova, sitting on a
4:58
rocky plateau. From the marshes, you can
5:01
see its beautiful golden spheres and
5:04
Seth's ever watchful eye.
5:10
Tread lightly, my son.
5:13
Captain Vas sent some of his men to
5:16
ransack the abbey. He's obsessed with
5:19
finding a treasure that does not exist.
5:25
They can keep beating me for as long as
5:27
they want. I have no idea what they are
5:29
talking about.
5:33
Why is Captain Voss doing this to you?
5:36
Captain Voss is a criminal and thief
5:39
parading as a soldier. You don't believe
5:42
me? Look inside his trucks. They are
5:46
filled with things he stole from
5:48
Palamist families.
5:52
It is the reason why he arrested me. He
5:56
can beat me as long as he likes. My
5:59
answer will always remain the same.
6:02
There is nothing of value in the abbey
6:05
besides our barrels of me.
6:11
What happened here?
6:13
Madness and hatred happened here and
6:16
lots of it.
6:20
When I finally managed to get back from
6:23
Tulsi, I rushed to my brother's home
6:26
only to find my niece Rebecca orphaned.
6:31
Then the soldiers began to round up the
6:33
villagers. When they kicked in the door,
6:36
I told her to hide. I gave myself up.
6:45
Your niece Rebecca, is she okay? How
6:47
long can a young child survive in these
6:51
horrible conditions?
6:53
Could you be so kind as to check in on
6:55
her?
6:58
The last time I saw her was in my
7:01
brother's home. It's the building with
7:04
the treehouse next to it.
7:10
Do you know where I might find the
7:12
blacksmith?
7:13
Even before all this started, he was
7:15
often gone. A dark burden weighed on
7:18
him.
7:21
I sincerely hope he has escaped Jova
7:24
with the O convoy. Pray, my son. Pray he
7:29
hasn't been shipped off to the prison
7:31
camps.
7:37
Did you happen to see where the convoy
7:38
went?
7:39
Lieutenant Rue came to negotiate my
7:42
release.
7:43
Captain Vos would hear none of it.
7:46
I heard their trucks leave the outpost
7:48
this morning.
7:52
Many roads lead outside the marsh.
7:55
Sadly, my situation prevented me from
7:59
seeing where they went.
8:05
Where's the O outpost?
8:06
It's not far. Turn right just before the
8:10
blacksmith's forge. You should see it
8:13
down the hill.
8:28
The roots of hatred run deep and far
8:31
across Hadia.
8:33
This isn't the first time we've been
8:35
caught in a perpetual cycle of violence.
8:38
Sethus' benevolence lives in all of us.
8:42
But the serpent also lives in us. He
8:46
does not dare show himself until the
8:49
laws and customs have fallen.
8:52
When that happens, you will quickly
8:55
realize that the chains holding
8:57
civilized men are weak.
9:00
Steal yourself, my son. The serpent
9:03
strikes when we are at our most
9:06
vulnerable.
9:09
This war is a sword sharpened by
9:13
propaganda and religious intolerance,
9:16
slicing and dicing up what generations
9:19
built over centuries within days.
9:27
The exchange of cruel and violent acts
9:30
and the lies perpetuated by the media
9:33
all played their part.
9:35
I was shocked to hear that even priests
9:37
were involved in spreading hateful
9:39
rhetoric.
9:46
Now look at us. I see only darkness
9:50
ahead.
9:51
But I have faith in Sethus.
9:54
I believe Hades
9:56
can quell their emotions and come back
9:58
to reason. They must or all will fall to
10:03
ruin.
10:07
Lieutenant Ru was the first outsider I
10:10
ever encountered.
10:12
She was as curious about our customs and
10:14
traditions as I was about hers.
10:18
This Buddha she spoke of is a
10:21
fascinating figure.
10:25
I was saddened to hear that the outside
10:28
world seems to fall prey to the same
10:31
dark impulses as Hadenss,
10:34
which is partly why the peacekeepers
10:36
exist. Being a peacekeeper is admirable.
10:41
Risking one's life for the betterment of
10:43
others is a noble pursuit.
10:47
No matter how hard they try, I refuse to
10:50
hate them and never will.
10:52
We both share the same land and God.
10:56
There is plenty of room for peaceful
10:58
coexistence. And Sethus has plenty of
11:01
love to spare.
11:05
I'm not naive.
11:08
I understand why things are the way they
11:10
are, but that doesn't mean I have to
11:12
accept them.
11:14
How do we stop the spread of hate for
11:17
from one generation to the next?
11:23
I lack the wisdom to know the answer but
11:27
know where to begin.
11:30
I need to start with the next
11:32
generation.
11:38
The children of this war must let go of
11:41
their hatred if we are to climb out of
11:43
the hole we dug for ourselves.
11:52
There is a moment in history that all
11:54
palamists should reflect on, if not
11:57
regret entirely.
12:00
The country was ruled by a heavy-handed
12:02
theocracy
12:04
with one thing in mind, power.
12:12
A young charismatic ariodite named Sabgo
12:16
wrote several reformation thesis which
12:18
gained popularity.
12:21
What did the palamus traditionalists do?
12:24
They hunted them down.
12:28
They accused them of heresy and burned
12:30
them at the stake. They were palamists
12:33
who only wanted reform. Nothing is
12:36
easier than listening and finding common
12:38
ground.
12:42
It is effortless compared to the
12:44
alternative.
12:46
That moment of hubris sent us on the
12:49
path of endless wars.
12:51
We don't learn from our mistakes. We
12:54
only seem to repeat them.
12:59
I overheard the guards speaking of such
13:02
creatures.
13:04
If what they describe is accurate,
13:07
then the darkest days are ahead of us.
13:13
In specific passages, the holy kada
13:17
speaks of Tar's demons.
13:19
Some of these passages relate to the
13:22
curse of Tar brought on by the great
13:24
sins of destructive emotions.
13:29
These writings were meant to be
13:31
interpreted as metaphors and stories to
13:34
teach and inform us.
13:37
Could this be happening?
13:40
May his eye protect us.
