You’ll never see anything like it as long as you live! All of our greatest warriors from history on the same field, no holding back. After all, why pull punches? They’re already dead!
Navali
The Trial is not a sport. It is a sacred tradition.
Matiki
Can’t it be both? Different tribes shoulder-to-shoulder, cheering on their heroes. We bring meat and ale. We make a real night of it.
Navali
I suppose there is joy in community and competition. Just don’t speak this way in front of Hinekora.
Matiki
I wouldn’t dream of it.
Warrior
Surely she hears us here…
Witch
Can she hear us? Here?
Sorceress
Can your goddess hear us now?
Ranger
Does she hear us here?
Huntress
Can she hear us?
Monk
Can Hinekora hear us now?
Mercenary
What, I thought she could hear us in here.
Druid
If this is her hall, then surely she hears every word?
Hinekora
I do.
Matiki
Praise the Mother of Death!
Navali
Indeed.
