The ritual will soon begin.' He looks down at the exhausted Noland and says, 'Your futile struggle has lasted all day. Hmph... What a pathetic sight... The wretched fate of a man who foolishly tried to defy God...' Noland lies on the ground, panting and coughing, 'HUFF... HUFF... COUGH!' Noland weakly speaks up, 'JUST WHAT THE HELL... ARE YOU BASTARDS... SO AFRAID OF...' Kalgara looks surprised, 'What?' Noland continues, 'COWERING FROM A TERROR THAT DOESN'T EXIST... BEING ONLY TOO WILLING TO OFFER HUMAN LIVES IN EXCHANGE FOR A PEACE OF MIND...' Page 9: Noland continues his speech from the fissure, 'Peace of mind!? THAT'S RIGHT... THAT'S ALL IT IS... A BARBARIC WAY... TO CREATE PEACE OF MIND... ALL YOUR HUMAN SACRIFICES ARE MEANINGLESS...' Kalgara becomes furious, pointing his spear down at Noland and yelling, 'DON'T TALK AS IF YOU KNOW ANYTHING! THESE ARE THE WAYS MY PEOPLE HAVE LIVED ON THIS LAND FOR CENTURIES!' Noland retorts, 'That's...! Irrelevant to whether your customs are correct!' Kalgara shouts back, 'SHUT UP, OUTSIDER!' Noland coughs and says, 'HUFF... I DON'T... CARE HOW GREAT... YOUR GOD IS... BUT HUMAN LIVES... ARE FAR MORE SACRED!'
