Ah.

193
00:10:46,083 --> 00:10:49,041
You assured me that which I seek
was beyond this valley,

Mmm, I assure you, I mean no harm.

My quarrel's with a man named Wenwu.

Well, technically, it's with my father.

00:13:35,083 --> 00:13:37,041
So, I guess you could say
it was both of them.

241
00:13:37,041 --> 00:13:40,208
Also, my dad has this new girlfriend.
Frigga. She's a dreadful woman.

242
00:13:40,208 --> 00:13:43,041
Not really a fan of hers either.
So, yeah, it's just those three.

243
00:13:43,875 --> 00:13:49,625
So, don't suppose I could interest you all
in taking up arms in my name?

That sounds like a pass.
Yes, totally get it.

But these threats of the Underworld
you speak of,

246

you wouldn't happen to know
of any of them looking for work?

It's just a bit esoteric, is all.

But if you were to teach me
your practice...

251

And why would we agree to do that?

252
00:14:18,291 --> 00:14:22,916
Because you are sworn to protect
this realm from the Underworld,

253

and I am the Goddess of Death.

254

And what better way to secure your mission

Because you will be sitting

You will obey.

You had your throne,
so you threw away your sword,

Perhaps you have forgotten.

388
00:21:32,500 --> 00:21:34,791
