Hirokin Page #3

- Show you what?

How to lead my sheep

like a wolf?

Until you learn

the secrets of the wei,

you'll simply be another

slaughter for Griffin's horde.

You're not ready.

She was your wife.

Yes?

You wonder why

you couldn't save her.

Acceptance

is the wei.

I can tell you a lot of

suffering comes from the wei.

Every time I turn around,

a child is left fatherless

because of your precious wei.

I mean, don't you think

you're just twisting it

to mean what you need it

to mean when you mean it?

Yes! Yes!

That's the spirit!

The power of the imagination,

my friend,

is a very powerful thing.

Indulge me.

Imagine a leaf...

imagine a Jasmine leaf.

Indulge me.

Try harder.

It is imperative

that you visualize

what it is

I'm about to tell you.

We arids have

an innate connection

to the world around us...

the soil, the land.

These are the fundamentals.

This is the wei.

It is not mere coincidence

that only arids

believe in the wei.

Our genetic makeup is physically

different than that of a human.

It is truly connected

to our surrounding.

A millennia ago

there was an elite communion

of arids so connected

to their realities,

they were able to unfold time.

They were able to see

the outcomes of decisions

before they committed them.

This special ability

terrified the humans.

A campaign was started

to wipe the planet clean

of the arid race

and all knowledge

of our gift erased.

And after a thousand years

of slavery and genocide,

our arid race

has forgotten who we are.

Unfolding time

has become a myth.

The scorched planet renders

most of our women infertile.

We are the light.

The light isn't outside.

It's inside here

and it flows out

into the world.

And so, who are you?

Human.

Ahhh. Has it not

seemed odd to you

that I am able

to see your thoughts?

Hmm? I've been able to

sense your connection

since the day we scraped you

out of the desert.

You were born of this world

not completely human,

not completely arid.

Your connection to the wei

is the strongest

I've ever encountered.

When you fall inside my eyes,

do you go with the flow

or do you struggle against me?

Amazing how such a small thing

can determine so much.

I'll fix it.

No, you won't.

This is who you are.

Your shame

is haunting you.

Let it go.

We create our own

reality, my friend.

Reality does not create us.

- That's convenient.

- Convenient?

Your wife...

That boy,

they're just

memories now.

I tried with everything I am...

But I couldn't...

I couldn't do it.

I couldn't save her.

You are what you create now.

The light is hiding inside you.

Let it flow.

In order to unfold time,

let go of all the fear,

all the emotions,

all the thoughts.

That is the wei.

Begin to see

the folds of time then...

See the choices.

Allow your senses

to walk you forward.

Hear the sounds.

Believe in one choice

without doubt.

That belief in that choice...

Will make it real.

It's all in the mind.

You just have to assemble

the pieces as one!

Your vision creates

your reality.

You're letting him leave?

Time has come.

I'm going with him.

We'll be at dead rock

in two suns.

If you want to get to Griffin,

then take me with you.

Give me your hand.

Come on.

Give it.

Take care of your tribe.

They're what matters.

Attention, place your bets.

The games will begin

in five marks.

- She cannot give you what you desire.

- Can you?

Attention, place your bets.

The games will begin...

I hope you find this view more

enjoyable than your last.

I'll enjoy nothing

but the sight of my son.

How beautiful you are, terra.

I mean, your convictions.

You shouldn't be here.

- Your father...

- Will be overjoyed

when I return home

with a good trade.

Commander, we've received

word from the informant

that moss and his rebels will

be gathering at dead rock.

Very good, Deacon.

Set our course

and send word to the viceroy.

The mind is its own place.

I, myself, can turn

joy into torment

or torment into joy.

Prison into a sanctuary.

Or a sanctuary into a prison.

Where's my son?

Play nice now.

Why am I here?

I want a child

and you want a better life.

We are gifts to each other.

Perhaps undeserving.

We're not so different,

you and I.

We both have need.

I would like you to be

with me at my side today.

He will be there.

Yes, your son.

Join me with a smile and

you will get your desire.

Very well.

Hirokin?

Is it true what

they say about you?

The town of eleven?

Yes.

Innocent blood.

Where do we find your friend?

We don't.

He'll find us.

Hey, lookie who it is.

Oh, that's the human

from the pit.

Definitely had

more meat on him.

- What is wrong with you?

- Kind of brave showing up here

without any disguise

of any sort.

What you mean no disguise?

He's got on a cloak.

The only one who'd know it was

him is a meat lover like you.

Huh yeah, I wonder what he wants.

Probably trade.

So this is

moss' arid rebellion...

a child and a human.

Honsu.

I bet they have arid liquor.

I like your thinking, my friend.

I like your thinking.

Has your father

gone completely mad?

My father is very well,

thank you.

- And you've met hirokin?

- Yes.

The scrapper I worked so

hard to get out of here.

Welcome back.

You can get me

next to the viceroy?

The viceroy? You?

Against his legions?

Come.

Follow me.

There's nothing quite

so satisfying

as the conquest of innocence.

I brought this for you.

It's exceptionally

sweet, so naturally

I thought of you.

Sweet indeed.

I won't give in to him.

You have no other choice.

No one does.

I'm sorry I couldn't

take you another way.

Only one may enter.

Not what you were expecting?

Not sure what I was expecting.

One thing is certain...

you're here to barter.

The question is do you have

anything of interest for me?

I'm not in the mood for games.

Griffin's not an easy man

to get next to.

You managed.

Yes, I did.

For now.

Griffin needs an heir and he

thinks I can't give him one.

But I think the problem

lies elsewhere.

Get me close to him

and it won't matter.

Are you telling me you're not

the slightest bit tempted?

It could be fun.

The chains cut deep.

I knew you looked familiar.

Quite touching

how you fought to save her.

You know, I had a baby once.

Or rather I once gave birth.

I'm sorry.

Griffin will leave

the pit momentarily

with terra.

Oh.

You didn't know?

Terra's very much alive.

But I see you've already

found a replacement...

a younger one, much prettier.

She's alive?

Terra?

Why not see for yourself?

My thoughts...

thoughts...

Become actions,

actions become words,

words...

Become habits.

Deacon.

Nuran!

Oh, my son.

My sweet sweet sweet son!

Oh, I missed you!

I love you so much!

My prince of the horde.

So much for your rebellion.

Maybe this is our fault.

Maybe we were not

strong enough in the wei.

Look around you.

Your stupid wisdom

- is killing our people!

- There is nothing

foolish...

About the struggle for freedom.
