Alycone reflects on Philomela's childhood and her all-important task. An ancient and fearsome goddess blocks Chise's path on the way to the Sargant family home and demands tribute that was promised a year ago.
Though there are neither spears, 
nor swords, nor shields, nor war horns...
مع أنّه لن تُحمل فيها رماح أو سيوف
...أو دروع أو أبوق حرب
Doch wird es weder Speere, noch Schwerter,
noch Schilde, noch Kriegshörner geben.
Aunque no haya lanzas, ni espadas,
ni escudos, ni cuernos de guerra…
Aunque no haya lanzas, ni espadas,
ni escudos, ni cuernos de guerra…
Sans lances, ni épées,
ni boucliers,
Sebbene non ci siano lance, spade e scudi,
e non si oda il suono dei flauti...
Apesar de não haver lanças, espadas,
escudos ou trombetas de guerra...
Хоть и нет ни копий, ни мечей, ни щитов,
и никто не трубит в рог…
