You honor our people
with this great victory.
This was no victory.
We have only secured one of the stolen Keystones.
And, once again, the Blessed One has denied me.
There is a time and place for every step in the Great Journey.
I grow weary of your gift. This prophecy.
The Demon's death is to be my redemption.
And you protect him...
I have no concern for the Demon. I serve a higher purpose.
As do you.
Do not preach at me, human.
I remind you that you live only by my grace.
If my life offends you, I beg you to take it.
What is the value of this human thing?
It is a vessel.
What does it contain?
Knowledge. Human knowledge.
Can it say where they have taken the Keystone?
Perhaps. I will not know until I look inside.
So look.
Show me what he remembers
of the Ring.
I don't belong to you.
If you cease to be useful to me,
I will cease to be useful to the Hierarchs.
You and I both know what happens to an un-useful thing.
There are all kinds of prisons.
What have you done?
Why are we at High Charity?
Our fleet has been recalled.
No. We have a mission, to retrieve the...
We failed the mission.
Accept that.
Do you know
what they will do to us?
To me?
I can only hope that they will accept
this token as an offering,
to mitigate my failure.
Do not do this.
The Hierarchs command it.
The Hierarchs are liars.
Blaspheme again, and I will rip the breath from your body.
The Prophets are false.
They have no intention of beginning the Great Journey.
It is not in their power to do so.
They are not Chosen.
And they know it. It is our destiny I have seen.
You will be the one to lead us to the Sacred Ring.
Your flattery is as cruel as it is empty.
These Prophets that would shame you
do so because they fear you.
They see your greatness and the purity of your faith.
And it makes them choke on their hypocrisy.
How are you doing this?
This is not my doing. This is yours.
This is your destiny. You need only take it.
What must I do?
Believe. You must believe. In me.
I am the Blessed One.
They will send the entire fleet to hunt us down.
And they will fail.
It is written.
