When are you going to stop hiding 
in your apprentice's shadows, Thorn?
إلى متى ستختبئ في ظلال 
تلميذتك يا ذا الشّوك؟
Wie lange willst du dich noch im Schatten
deines Lehrlings verstecken, Thorn?
¿Cuándo dejarás de esconderte
en la sombra de tu aprendiz, Espina?
¿Cuándo dejarás de esconderte
en la sombra de tu aprendiz, Espina?
Tu vas te cacher dans son ombre
encore longtemps, Thorn ?
Per quanto ancora intendi restare nascosto
nell'ombra della tua discepola...
Quando você vai parar de se esconder
 nas sombras de seu aprendiz, Thorn?
Когда перестанешь прятаться в тени 
ученицы, Терновый Чародей?
