Live to fight on other days.
Survival's the thing, isn't it?
Something awful is always going to happen, Arton. It's Sanctuary. You're a Stepson. Awful is a big part of your job.
Niko and his women will be the death of all the Stepsons yet.
Gods and men honor those who have fought in battle.
In this new world, this day and forever, then, we are not only Thebans - we are all Stepsons. We are all one Sacred Band. If you will have us. And mine will fight by yours, henceforth, as brothers.
