Ka-ren the Barbarian - Episode 1 (Part 5)

KA-REN: -In other circumstances, I would have gladly accepted the deal. But, unfortunately, it’s already too late for you.

CAPTIVE: -Oh, no, please. I implore you...

KA-REN: -We are nine or ten days away from Bar-Kinah. Across the wastelands. It is a challenging endeavor even in normal conditions. There is no way that you could do it with a broken ankle, and in such an advanced state of exhaustion and dehydration. My **** and I barely have any water or food. If we brought you with us, you would be dead by tomorrow anyway, after making us waste resources and time.

CAPTIVE: -You can’t leave me here, oh, please... I swear: if you help me, you will get all the gold that you want when we arrive to Bar-Kinah…

KA-REN (impassive): -I already told you. You wouldn't make it to Bar-Kinah. In your condition, and being where we are, you will die regardless of what we do. But don’t worry: you won’t perish in vain. We will complete your mission for you. I just hope the reward is worth the journey…

CAPTIVE: -Damn you, filthy barbarian! If you get to Bar-Kinah without me, the princess will chop your head!

KA-REN (smiling): -We’ll see about that -she turns towards Ton-tah, who looks worried -. Grab anything useful and let’s get going. We have a long way ahead.

TON-TAH: -Shouldn’t we untie her, at least?

KA-REN: -It wouldn’t help her. She’ll die soon anyway. There is no point in giving her false hope.

TON-TAH: -Please, Ka-ren, let’s do that for her. If it’s her fate to die today, so be it, but let's at least give her a chance…

KA-REN (rolling her eyes): -Okay, go ahead…

Ton-tah approaches the Tarakian and unties her. She tries to stand up but fails, and starts crying in desperation. Ka-ren throws her one of the long knives that the savages had.

KA-REN (still impassive): -If I ever was in your position, I would cut my wrists and spare myself a slow and painful ****. When the vultures are done with the cannibal’s corpses, they will probably start eating you. You don’t want to be alive when that happens…

CAPTIVE: -May the gods curse you and your entire offspring, you barbarian scum!

KA-REN (laughing): -Hahaha... they already did, bitch.

Ka-ren and Ton-tah walk away, while the Tarakian continues to curse them and unsuccessfully try to stand up. Ka-ren walks looking ahead, inexpressive. Ton-tah keeps looking back, and seems very depressed about having to leave a fellow human being to her ****.
