Jhoqo said to the cheering Chondathans who outnumbered the Maquar and Durpari combined.Jhoqo waved for quiet before continuing, "These are difficult times, friends, when one of our own might turn her back on everything we fight and die for.And what is that? What drew each of us to this life?"Jhoqo paced across the crates looking at the crowd."We love the South.We love its people.Though we hail from different countries, we are the same people! We love the same things, believe in the same principles.Everything is connected—the Adama has taught us that.Every bit of life you give to the South helps someone else.But the opposite is true too.If you spend your time and energy fighting against the South and her children, then we all feel that! It hurts us all!" More cheers, as well as the mixed reactions of the original forces, greeted him.Adeenya continued skulking across the wall even as a Chondathan rushed into the courtyard below, running directly to Jhoqo's side.The Maquar urir bent low and listened to the man before nodding and motioning for four of the Chondathan to follow the messenger [ Pobierz całość w formacie PDF ]
