Taro : We have come, Lord Nekron. To negotiate between our two peoples, and the return to Fire Keep of my sister, Teegra, whom your warriors basely kidnapped. My father, King Jarol has empowered me to offer a peace between our kingdoms. In exchange for his continued sovereignty and my sister's freedom.
Nekron : It seems to me that my envoys made a similar offer not long since... and that it was spurned by your illustrious sire.
Taro : You know full well, Nekron, that offer was made before your minions kidnapped my sister.
Nekron : I fear, good prince, I cannot offer peace to a people who have refused to proclaim me their rightful overlord. As to your sister. Well, I must admit that until this moment the idea of mating with her filled me with loathing. Perhaps I should reconsider. Your sister, after all, is not wholly unattractive. As lesser beasts go.

Roleil : [now a skeleton after her hut has been burnt down] Why do the living disturb the sleep of the dead?
Larn : I followed a trail. I seek a girl, Teegra.
Roleil : A girl... yes, she did this to me. She and Nekron. Cursed Nekron!
Larn : Where can I find her?
Roleil : Why should I answer?
Larn : For revenge against Nekron!
Roleil : Nekron? Agatar! They take her to Agatar, and from there to the icy King's Realm. Avenge me. Avenge Roleil!

Teegra : [knocking on door] Larn, Larn.
Larn : Teegra, is that you?
[Teegra shushes]
Larn : Teegra, are you all right?
Teegra : Yes. I'm trying to unlock the door.
Larn : Never mind the door, you gotta get out of here.
Teegra : I'm not leaving without you. Maybe I can get a key somehow.
Larn : No, Teegra, don't.

Envoy : If you peacefully surrender, my Lord Nekron will cease the destruction of...
Jarol : This is your message of peace? A demand for our total and unconditional surrender?
Envoy : We call it an offer of alliance, Your Majesty.
Taro : I call it blackmail.
Envoy : My Lord Nekron's offer...
Taro : To hell with Nekron and his offer. We are free men, not slaves.
Envoy : King Jarol, be reasonable.
Jarol : My son, Taro, speaks more with his heart than with his head. But he speaks for all of us.
Taro : There can be no alliance. We will fight you to the death.
Envoy : Perhaps, you will soon change your mind.
-
Jarol : Enough. I want you to go to Nekron, to his mother, Juliana. We must negotiate.
Taro : With the enemy?
Jarol : No man is wholly evil. Surely there is some way to appeal to Nekron.
Taro : You expect his mercy? Father, do you know what he will do if I enter his land under a flag of truce?
Jarol : We have no choice! We must take that risk. You must take that risk, my son, for the sake of Fire Keep, for the sake of your sister. Go, ride swiftly.

Taro : Don't look up. We are riders of Fire Keep. We pay no heed to such trash.
