Once, long ago, we were a people of war. I had never killed before, never spilled blood, until I spilled my own. My pain became rage. And my rage became revenge.

The grain is our most powerful weapon. Without it, they are liable to blow us out of existence from orbit. If we bring it in fast, we can use it both as a bartering tool and shield.
The time has come, for all that you love. For your home. Protect each other and show them no mercy!
I was given memories of a world I will never see, loyalty to a king I cannot serve, and love for a child I could not save. But the sound of that name as you say it lets me feel, even in the smallest way, why I exist at all.
I've been living life as an outlaw ever since. I thought about letting them kill me or just not fighting. But somehow, the last words of the child, her forgiveness. I felt the only way to honor her was run. And try to be, I don't know, more than a weapon.

I know your name. Yes. But you were not her assassin, for the princess is still alive. You thought she could be killed so easily? No. She's more than death.

This is your choice. Disgrace and relegation, or your head cleaved from your shoulders. Your ship serving as your tomb.
