Ghrak Quotes in Strings (2004)

Ghrak: [Telling Jhinna about the battle by the Lake of the thousand Dead Warriors] The Zeriths had defeated us. North if the Nordessa Forest. Your father was filled rage. As we were retreating, we came up a caravan of Zerith women and children. Your father could handle his defeat. In his rage, he blamed me. He ordered me to slay women and children and when I refused, he attacked me. He cut all my strings, expect my head-string and one arm. Then he abandoned me by the Lake. If I got home, I was allowed to live. Defeat enraged your father. Overcome by evil and darkness. But they were all women and children.
