The Sinack have been subdued, but the Imperial Army finds that it's been caught in a trap!  A huge army from the Aldera nation has crossed the supposedly-impassable northern mountains, and threatens to overwhelm the exhausted Imperial forces.  Ikta's only way out is to force a peace treaty with the Sinack and ask for their help, which means going to their defeated leader and abasing himself.  Will she respond to his pleas, after the Imperials burned her village and killed her people?  How far is he willing to go earn her forgiveness?
It's like God made him to 
keep the balance with me.
وكأنّ الربّ خلقَه معي للحفاظ على التّوازن
Gott hat ihn als Gegenstück
zu mir geschickt.
Es como si Dios hubiese creado
mi némesis para equilibrar las cosas.
Es como si Dios hubiese creado
mi némesis para equilibrar las cosas.
Comme si Dieu l’avait créé
pour maintenir l’équilibre avec moi.
Come se Dio in persona l'avesse creato 
per riportare l'equilibrio, vista la mia presenza.
É como se Deus criou alguém 
para manter o equilíbrio comigo.
Похоже, бог создал его,
 чтобы мы с ним сохраняли баланс.
