I’ll take care of Rudjek when the time comes too. I will make an example of him.
I warned Efiya that Koré was a trickster, but she did not listen.
Look what it got her.
I don’t mean to be insensitive, Shezmu. I know she was your daughter and you loved her.
You deserve revenge too. It may be Arrah who wielded the blade, but the orishas guided her hand. She didn’t know what she was doing. Koré and Re’Mec tricked her. Don’t you ever forget that.
Arrah loved her sister and Efiya loved her too.
Now you know how it feels to lose the one person who gave your life meaning.
It’s not easy to lose a child. I should know. The orishas never allowed my child to be born and now my wife doesn’t even remember our son. I must be gentle with her. She’s like before, when we were young and didn’t understand much about life and death. She was patient with me then, so I must be the same with her.
We will not let this break us. Not after all this time.
I’m tired of this war too. I want it to end once and for all.
I will bring peace again like we enjoyed under my father.
But for there to be peace, there must be death.
