The Oath
宣誓(注1)
姐妹們!這就是宣誓的方式。把你的左手放在桅杆上,靠近我的手。
把刀拿在右手裡。用左手把它推到骨頭之間。現在!在桅杆上雕刻一條血線。
說出你的誓言。
“我是西羅,已故國王最小的女兒。我要奪回我的鋨宮殺了叛徒陶克斯。我用左眼發誓要報仇。”
誓言是用鮮血立下的。
“我是薩託娜,已故國王的二女兒。我要奪回我的家園,吃下巢母凝膠。我會在氦王的屍體上養育我的後代。我用右眼發誓。”
誓言是用鮮血立下的。
現在…
“我可以幫你宣誓,姐姐。”
“我也會幫忙的。”
我是奧拉什,死去國王的長女。我要去追逐我父親最後的尖叫警告。我要理解是什麼改變了行星的運動。如果世界末日來了,我要知道為什麼。
我以我中間的眼睛發誓。我會理解的。
"In blood the oath is made."
“以血立誓。”
“以血立誓。”
謝謝你,妹妹。我們只剩下我的船了。但船就是自由!我們有秘密要獵取,有風暴照亮的疆域要探索,還有強大的軍隊要建立。
Put up the lightning sails, and we will voyage far.
拉起閃電帆,我們將遠航。
- 注1:鋨王年齡越來越大越來越無能,陶克斯也意識到自己的死期迫在眉睫,暗中,她請來了敵對的氦飲者,入侵鋨宮,刺殺皇室,讓她成為氦王麾下的大陸攝政王。氦飲者隨後入侵併殺死了鋨王,國王的女兒們設法逃脫,併發誓有一天會回來併為陶克斯的背叛復仇。

原文:
Verse1:3 The Oath
Sisters! This is how an oath is done. Put your left hands on the mast, close to mine.
Take the knife in your right hand. Push it through your left hand, straight between the bones. Now! Carve a blood line down the mast.
Speak your oath.
"I am Xi Ro, youngest daughter of the dead king. I will take back my Osmium Court and kill the traitor Taox. On my left eye I swear vengeance."
In blood the oath is made.
"I am Sathona, middle daughter of the dead king. I will take back my home and eat the mother jelly. I will raise my spawn on the corpse of the Helium King. On my right eye I promise this.”
In blood the oath is made.
Now...
"I will help make your oath, sister."
"I will help it too."
I am Aurash, first daughter of the dead king. I will chase my father's last screamed warning. I will know what changed the motion of our moons. If the end of the world is coming, I will understand why.
On my center eye I swear it. I will understand.
"In blood the oath is made."
“In blood."
Thank you, sisters. We have only my ship left to us. But a ship is freedom! We have secrets to hunt, storm-lit realms to explore, and great armies to raise.
Put up the lightning sails, and we will voyage far.
