“Farewell, Ball,” said Rurek to the last of the Sord. “Give my regards to Vatagash... although, what am I saying... we will all be reunited soon. Perhaps there is no need to fear death. Death is just death. Sooner or later, it will come for everyone. I was glad to meet you, Ball. And I pity you, Aru. I pity all of you. You shouldn't have ended your journey in these meaningless, endless tunnels. And from poison, no less...”
Something went terribly wrong after Rurek decided to go with Vatagash to Kof. Kof turned out to be a brutal but useless guy. It would have been better for them all to stay in the expedition and look for another way to defeat the cheesemakers. But what can you do... you have to face death with a song. Well, there is no song. Only deathly silence.
