Niko, you're halfway to where you need to go. It's the most dangerous time. And all the gods and forces have a stake in you, Hero. Or do you want to be just a memory, a cult somewhere, with people sacrificing horses to your name?

You've been playing gods-and-witches again, that's clear.

Be polite to all, friendly to none. Be professional. Be ready to kill everyone and everything.

Arrows are cheap; you're expensive.

Gods are nothing without their worshipers; they act on the affairs and the passions of men.

I survive. I survived it all then and I'll survive the rest of it. Without your help.

No ethos, pursued without thought or mercy, is ethical.
